    The council used the income to fund the building of the stadium. The question is who owned the land prior to Tesco purchasing it. I don't think CCFC did but it isn't clear.

    What's going on: http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/former-coventry-city-fc-supremo-10989495 One thing is for sure, GR is / was a very powerful man with great influence. I don't think Richardson was party to any confidentiality agreements or was he?

    Budget Next Year

    I wouldn't bother, despite the fact that accounts are published showing continual losses, there is a still a belief that any player sales are going into SISU's back pocket.

    It is printing money. Banks are permitted to lend money out that doesn't really exist.

    I don't know enough about economic indicators, but does mortgage lending contribute to GDP?

    Housing in the UK

    Immigration isn't the only part of the story though, the continuing policy of allowing lenders to print money through issuing mortgages is a massive problem, but government policy and idiot people seem to believe that having a house with a high paper value is a good thing.

    It doesn't happen, but it doesn't mean it isn't an effective way of playing. For whatever reason, football has adapted to this ticky tacky way of playing when it is very difficult to play against a good winger whipping the ball in. Look at how effective Beckham was in his prime, not getting to...

    Rochdale (H) match thread

    I wouldn't be surprised if one of the young centre backs is rested with Ricketts moved across, judging by Mowbray's comments anyway.

    Stephen Hunt & other mysteries

    Hunt wasn't great but he really wasn't much worse than any of his team mates. In fairness to him he hasn't played for a long time and a game every few weeks won't help his fitness. That said, we've got Lameiras who has got a bit of finesse that might just unlock a defence.

    short term thinking expecting long term results

    The club accounts just showed an investment in the academy above the minimum, can't get much more long term than that. Also, CA and Accounts suggest that a proper appraisal of whether to build a new stadium or rent in the long term is being undertaken. Again, can't get much more long term than...

    Good to see that London Midland were vindicated by a bumper 14k crowd at the Ricoh this Sunday

    short term thinking expecting long term results

    Why do you think there isn't a long term plan? I don't think signing players on longer contracts necessarily implies any sort of long term plan (look at the past 20 years at CCFC). Using loans could be a good tactic of achieving longer term aims, it's a short term tactic to get the club to a...

    short term thinking expecting long term results

    Considering our track record of signing players and giving long contracts to managers how is offering shorter contracts a bad thing? How is it manifesting itself in our recent poor run? What's the stadium got to do with the way the team play? The club signed the extension for the rental deal...

    Ricketts is just as bad, he's a dreadful example to footballers learning when and when not to fuck about with it.

    Could a change of manager save our season?

    We've also heard the other classic "He's lost the dressing room". Where are the players getting changed then?

    Rose? He added a bit of energy but he's not the answer.
