    Portsmouth Match thread

    Many folk argued that the squad was not as strong as some were claiming and that we were too reliant on our centre forward: first Goldy, then Clarke. We have been very lucky to have had a virtually injury free ride until recently. The loss of Baker after losing Clarke has tipped us over the edge...

    Portsmouth Match thread

    Best season in a decade, maybe. Still not good. I think fans who have seen away performances wear rose coloured specs and dont see the struggles we have at home for what they are. We are a nearly team. Better than being a nothing team like the last decade ... but still short of good enough for...

    CCFC Statement

    Absolutely. Yes. They are multiple millionaire backers who are gambling in high risk stakes. That's what Hedge funds are. They take big risks and sometimes win mega bucks and sometimes lose. I was once in a casino in West Bromwich and folks were talking about a chap who had lost tens of...

    so ACL are distressing CCFC

    Stockholm syndrome comes to mind. You know: when victims identify with and take their kidnapper's side and make excuses to justify every act of abuse? SISU have kidnapped our club and its apologists are still sticking up for it. Sad really.

    Memorobilia at the Ricoh

    What will happen to the memorial garden and the remains of folk interred there? Someone needs to consider these issues as many will be upset, potentially, if it is mishandled.

    Announcement due soon?

    Fisher will say: To all Coventry City fans. We are so sorry we have taken you and your club for fools. We accept we have made a complete mess of trying to run your club and bully other parties into giving us access to funds we have no legal right to. We are leaving now and will not be...

    Clever move by SISU

    Just for clarity: why should SISU care about CCFC? Answer: because they own it. Although calling it a cash cow made me laugh. Why should CCC care about CCFC? Answer: they should a bit but it is not their job to fund it. Why should ACL care about CCFC? Answer: a lot because it is a major tenant...

    No more games at the Ricoh

    If you cannot see the difference you are not open to reason. One is pursuing a debt legally, after negotiating endlessly and waiting for payment. The other is leaving to avoid an alleged legal debt. Simple, right and wrong, and no hypocrisy at all, if what is reported is true

    No more games at the Ricoh

    Cannot really believe you have asked that! it is very simple: the FA and FL have no interest in being overseers of the game ... just in allowing the beautiful game to prostitute itself to any waving wad of money. They have presided over the dismantling of the game and allowed other clubs to be...

    Reading all this and have not got a clue?

    SISU are trying to wriggle out of debt to ACL. SISU will do anything they can to claw back some money. SISU will try to buy back the club from Admin with another Holding company and if ACL will not bend over and set a new rent they will groundshare with anyone who will have them. If they cannot...

    What players would you like to leave the club in the summer?

    Only ones I would be sorry to see go would be Baker, Murphy, J Clarke, L Clarke and Wood ... Maybe a tad regret for Moussa. All the rest can easily be replaced with free transfers.

    New Players Next Week ?

    I thought women were renowned gossips. Football forums certainly dispel that myth

    Tactics for Friday

    SISU decide not to contest the action. We take our chances on what the Admin says. Club ends up with new owners who do a deal with ACL and CCC. The club and arena can be made into a successful business. Fans who support SISU have a sulk. The majority get behind the new regime. We start a new...

    Potential investors

    Maybe because there is no evidence these owners wish to sell?

    would you rather?

    At the risk of being called miserable again, I honestly cannot remember the last good performance at home. Tranmere 2 months ago? Good form away will not be enough, sadly.

    would you rather?

    Which assertion do you quibble with? Defence, midfield or attack? Miserable or realistic? I am perfectly chilled, since you ask. I was resigned to this season being a near miss after the 3 Crewe games. Bit better than the previous dozen seasons though.
