    JR verdict regarding judicial review

    Any idea when we are likely to hear what the court of appeal have to say regarding the JR? Is has all gone very quiet probably for 2 reasons: 1) reading between the lines, it seems like ML was the main advocate of the JR (just as TF was with the rent strike). His departure probably has to do...

    One point in 5 games with league leaders next...

    ..if we get stuffed at home by Bristol, I think many fans will see this as full-scale crisis mode...everyone will be talking about SP and will start to look embattled. Barring the two wins back at the Ricoh, our form since the turn of the year has been dire: 7 league wins since new years' day -...

    Timeframe for sale completion?

    Now that council has approved the deal, what is the time frame for this to go through? Presumably contracts have to be signed etc - is there a time window in which SISU could put in a rival bid?

    Can Wasps' consortium fund the deal

    As per Rob S's post in the last hour, it seems that CCC will accept the tabled bid by the Wasps consortium. It seems that the only obstacle remaining is whether the consrtoium can raise the cash - supposedly the investors are Chinese and the deal relies on a few well-known ex-CCFC faces to get...

    How can I....

    get tickets for me and a mate, based on these circumstances... 1) we both live/work in London and will not be getting to Cov until 4pm on Friday (cannot go to ticket office) 2) club not selling online or on the phone it seems 3) we do not have ex-STs to get us seats 4) can't go in the Gills...

    Our longest-serving non-academy player?

    With Baker going, I'm racking my brains to think of who is our longest-serving or most capped player who isn't an academy graduate i.e. Jordan Clarke, Connor Thomas...I guess it must be Fleck who was signed by Thorn? We now have nobody, other than Jordan, who played under Coleman. Only Jordan...

    Top heavy squad?

    With Baker leaving and Nouble joining, by my reckoning we have 5 strikers - McQouid, Miller, Tudgay, Jackson, Nouble but only 5 midfielders - Fleck, Thomas, Coulibaly, o'Brien and Swanson -- only one of t hose is a defensive midfielder and that is Thomas who should be released anyway IMO As...

    What price Pressley to Leeds?

    Thought I might check it, but he is not placed with Sky Bet. I assume he feels more secure job-wise at Cov than under Cellino, which is really saying something...

    Grounds to celebrate

    Anyone else see the article in the Metro today about a bloke raising money for cancer research by visiting all 92 of the clubs in the top 4 divisions in the space of 92 hours - nice map / route plotted onto it, and they lsit each club based on its location. Coventry are located at the Ricoh, not...

    Deadline for SISU to confirm appeal to Court of Appeal?

    Does anyone know when this is? Somebody said it was tomorrow, but I don't know if that's confirmed....

    Is he even still with us? Presume he is not part of the plan?

    Trialists vs player interviews

    Remember back 2 years ago when AT put a whole load of trialists through some pre-season games at the likes of Nuneaton etc - is this likely to happen again this year, or will SP just go for "player interviews" in the knowledge that he needs a few solid players and can't afford to look at "nice...

    Paul Robinson

    Makes you wonder why the CT run this article with such a "hit the buffers" clause included that will make it more or less worthless. Filling up column inches? http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/transfer-news/reports-link-coventry-city-swoop-7389463 Reports in South London have...

    Glimmer of light for SISU... breaking even at least last year and this

    I've had it on good authority that CCFC will at least avoid making a loss this year, despite the boycott. Yes crowds are down 77%, but with the unexpected windfalls of the Arsenal game (worth over £1m) and the Clarke sale, in cojunction with the slashed cost base, should keep the club in balance...

    Legal costs awarded?

    Note in the BBC report, Ann mentions that the council will seek their ("six figure" - according to BBC) costs back from SISU ... what is the mechanism / timeframe for this to be decided? I do mean of course that the judge would order SISU to pay up...on the basis of their behaviour over...

    SISU tenacity

    Anyone else been surprised by the extent to which SISU have hung on in there?? As a paid-up member of the anti-SISU brigade, I must say that part of my "no to Sixfields" stance and general support for punitive / non-engagement measures (from everyone from the FA to the FL, ACL, CCC, Higgs to...

    JR verdict

    Is there anyone on here who has a) read all the publicly available information that will be discussed in court, and b) a reasonable legal background If so, please can you tell us all who is the likely winner of the JR? It would break my heart to see SISU win. A council win would be the...

    Squad for next season

    Apologies if this has been done already, but it seems seriously concerning that our current squad is very small and will need extra bodies next season. Conventional wisdom is that you need 2 players for every position. At the moment we have got: GK: Murphy (if he says - I guess he will), Burge...

    Away day next season you are most looking out for?

    New fixtures day is still soem way away, as the final 2 places in L1 are clearly yet to be decided, but which away days are you most looking out for when the fixtures get released? For me, it has to be Rotherham (if they stay down) Chesterfield Rochdale The reason is that I am currently on 88...

    The season was a decent outcome for anti-SISU fans

    To be honest, now I don't go to home games I am a bit removed from what is going on day-to-day at the club; the weekly ups and downs are now, in my mind, less important than the longer-term battle to see the back of SISU. From this point of view, 2013-14 will be seen as a successful result in...
