    Venus, not good enough for Division One

    Realism to me doesn't mean accepting that we're a League 1 club forever. It means accepting that we need to do things differently, we need to stop behaving like a L1 club that has just been relegated and is hoping for a quick return to the Championship. Each manager keeps trying to build without...

    Venus, not good enough for Division One

    SISU are poor owners, but we're not the only club to change managers regularly. Scunthorpe have had 8 managers since 2010! Rochdale's steadiness includes living within their means, the club and the stadium appear to be owned by separate companies.. The stadium management company was a 45/55...

    Yes, good point actually. I've said before Carsley was our biggest loss in the first season down from the Prem.

    and an established fan base. If you looked at CCFC rationally, you wouldn't see that much potential in the fanbase. It hasn't sustained strong attendances for 40 years.

    Yes, the failed PubCo model. Though there has been a recent change of law which outlaws some of their worst practices (the Tories have set up an industry regulatory body staffed by a former PubCo bod!)

    Disagree. I think he's a great fella. His two autobiographies are excellent. He's a proper football fan of working class stock.

    It looks as if they're using the back yard as some sort of beer garden. Didn't even realise it had a backyard. This is the planning application: http://planning.coventry.gov.uk/portal/servlets/ApplicationSearchServlet?PKID=782530 These are the proposed new signs for outside...

    Can't see anything other than defeat. The epitome of a 'wet miserable night in a northern town'. I'm going though. On a more positive note, the last and only time we played at the Reebok. We won 5-1.
