    Contact CBS ref. Their sponsorship

    I would guess a lot of us have some form of account with Coventry Building Society. So as members of a mutual organisation contact them asking them to withdraw their sponsorship funding until the pitch issue is resolved satisfactorily.

    Championship 22-23

    Looking ahead to the teams in the Championship next season. We can once again expect the teams with parachute payments to be challenging to return to the PL. There may be one exception .....Burnley. Under the terms of the buy out of the club, who's owners used a leverage process [similar to...

    The Thierry Katsukunya transfer fee to Villa

    I've been looking into the fees that clubs receive for academy players recruited by Premier League clubs. My understanding is that the maximum fee a club can receive is "upto" £40k for each year the player was in the academy. Hence, if I've understood this correctly [and I stand to be...

    Millwall COVID?

    Reports today stating that Millwall have a number of people connected to the first team squad have tested positive. Their next two games v Bournemouth & Watford are off ..... our game down there is the next one after that. I hope it’s on, as they could be rusty from not playing games

    Tier 3 for us

    I see that Coventry, Warwickshire & Birmingham are all announced in tier 3 by the government today. So it looks like we won't be attending any matches in the near future. Bad news!

    Who loses out in this debacle?

    For what it's worth here's my analysis on the current environment surrounding our club and who are losing out? I understand the strength of feeling about the fact our club should be playing in Coventry and I was one of those that felt SISU was a plague on our club and swore never to attend...

    West Brom next season?

    West Brom list tonight v Huddersfield. Given the form that Brentford are in. I could see them miss out on automatic promotion.... and mess it up in the play offs. Better start planning for another visit to the hawthorns???

    Retained players list

    I understand that this will be released quite soon, so it'll be interesting to see who MR wants to retain. I presume the club will invoke the 1 year extension to Westbrooke's contract, but at the same time try and tie him down to a longer deal. Some other players might have new deals offered to...

    What a transformation

    March will be the 3rd anniversary of MR returning to our club and what a massive transformation he has made in the development of the playing side of the club. Last night, the team adapted from playing out from the back, due to the high press, to longer passing and using midfield runners in...

    I've just received this response from Rupert Lowe this morning, who is one of the West Midland MEPs, when or if I receive any further information I'll post again : Dear.....

    What's the latest with Max?

    I appreciate that MR has consistently stated that he wanted to ease Max back in after he's long lay off with the ACL. However, some rumours seem to be circulating that there's been some fall out between Max & MR. I expect he'll play again today for the under 23's - is there any substance in the...

    Record season ticket sales connected to new owners @NFFC

    I appreciate that this is NOT a CCFC matter, but it's interesting to see the impact of new owners at Notts Forest & given the fact their supporters have not endured two relegations in recent years. "Nottingham Forest supporters have created a new record for season card sales. Sales have risen...

    Kevin Gallagher quote regarding Blackburn could have been applied to CCFC

    Ex-Scotland international Gallacher told BBC Radio 5 live: "When you sell your best assets in trying to stay financially secure, they forget about where football clubs are built and that is on the grass. "It proved this term that they weren't good enough on the grass to sustain the business...

    Business Critical

    Yesterday emphasised the importance of the Academy to our future. During the 90 + 5 minutes there were 7 academy graduates playing. The club must invest into this with an "additional injection of cash"....not the current level, if we are to have a chance of climbing back up the leagues.

    2017 Coventry Bees - 2018 Sky Blues?

    Coventry Bees have been kicked out of the elite league, due to issues over their stadium. Is this a precursor for the Sky Blues in 2018? If there is no deal at the Ricoh then the clubs existence in the EFL is at stake.
