    Rochdale Match Thread

    We need inspiration from somewhere in the way Wilson/Clarke provided. That should be Jackson and Nouble. Pressley needs to work on that and if Haynes is good enough he is certainly old enough to play each week.

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    This is a false dawn or smoke screen (call it what you will) Will never happen. ACL must be the biggest fools on the planet to now try and negotiate with another sports team out of the Coventry area. I think we would all be calling for them to resign and let ACL be distinguished as it should...

    Phase 2: Operation SISU Out

    we should all simply enjoy what has come about, find a way to rejoice in the moment and push on from here. we have some young exciting talent, a manager with a building reputation and signs are it will be a good season all round. So get past all your differences, support them all you can and...

    Attendances ours don't look that bad.

    Could we have been first if we had played at the Ricoh in front of 27,000 each game? Apparently we are heading for 20k plus again already for the next home game. Has the combination of our absence from Coventry and Pressley's new young team been the catalyst to end the apathy among Coventry...

    The 1960's feeling....

    arhh them were the days. The Bisto ads, fairy liquid and all the rest. I remember the coal man delivering the coal. No washing machines and spin dryers then and black and white TV reserved for a Sunday. As a kid I had a transistor radio under the pillow listening to a fading Radio Luxembourg and...

    Frank Nouble & Simeon Jackson

    It's league 1 and Nouble was a different class on the ball for 90% of the time and finished very well. In this league he will score plenty. Same could be said for Jackson so I think there should be real optimism in our chances of promotion this year and players like McQuoid and Tudgay are only...

    Is the Ricoh return masking a problem ?

    It's a new season and almost a new team which has started well enough for me. The Ricoh should boost performance if nothing else. They deserve it and I hope the support talked about so often if they returned to the Ricoh actually shows up!

    The Ricoh Affect

    I think it will have a big positive note to our performance and results. These players I hope have been shown around the Ricoh already and are now rubbing their hands in anticipation of playing there as opposed to sixfileds. The crowds will be 5 times bigger at least and they will feel like a...

    ...for 2 years plus a 2 year extension?

    I think we have every right to know some of the detail. The Ricoh is owned by the council not a private body. After all the collusion and deceit gone on and the long suffering of the fans in Coventry they want to hear some sort of assurances this ne deal is water tight and exactly why it is...

    ...for 2 years plus a 2 year extension?

    That makes 4 years to build a new stadium. OK that becomes ever more unlikely and we all know the deal is to try and own the ground they play in i.e: The Ricoh. They have 4 years of negotiating to do then. Meanwhile they will have to pay the rent etc. So what is the full deal exactly? What's...

    Ryan Haynes

    The kids got a sweet left foot. Crosses admirably and gets forward well and defends well. Should remain in the team. Second half was much better. Think they may be quite decent against league one sides. Initially thought we were poor and clearly not following instructions. It's interesting but...

    Huddersfield after Pressley

    Well I'm a little surprised the fact Robbins walked from us at the chance of more money (can't blame him) and away from the nonsense that was going on with SISU at the time to enjoy a better opportunity has somewhat backfired now! He is out of a job. Football is a fickle old game. As for...

    3 Critical Days in the History of Coventry City

    It seems to me that there is an element, indeed a real possibility we could be coming back to the Ricoh under a temporary deal of some kind. It's all a bit hush hush and as the OP suggested there are a couple of dates with obstacles to overcome that seem a forgone conclusion and then a deal...

    Is this linked to a Ricoh return?

    Looks like we're back

    If any of this is true then I would expect it to break through channels within a few hours and be confirmed. Is it all over the telegraph yet? Hmm. Nice if it were true.

    League 1 contenders

    For me it's not so much about the signings as who the manager is. Preston will be there about along with Sheff Utd but then there could be a lottery. Don't think the sides that came down will necessarily do so well either.

    Optimism?

    I don't know any of the players and as I doubt I'll ever get to sixfields will even know what they look like but the last couple of friendlies have been good results. Is there reason to be optimistic?
