    Championship out of contract players June 2024

    In light of the likelihood of losing O'Hare on a free transfer in the Summer I thought I would look at some of the players our Championship rivals could also lose that we might be able to bring in ourselves. I've left out over 30's as they don't seem to fit into MR's masterplan. Source is the...

    From the Caribbean to Coventry

    Rather apt timing with all that Kasey Palmer has had to face last week. Looks like an interesting exhibition to go to for anyone in London in the next month or so. https://www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/2024/event/from-the-caribbean-to-coventry-plotting-the-rise-of-2tone

    David Duckham

    Very sad news about his passing. A Coventry sporting icon who deserves wider recognition than from the world of rugby.

    Support the lads - PUSB

    I don't like the way things are looking at the moment just as much as the next man. MR's body language and tone seem to be tell tale signs that all is not well. That said for the 90 minutes when the games are played lets stick with the team & management. Rarely in my near 50 years watching...

    Bet on the Sky Blues?

    For those of you that like a little dabble on the horses I see there is a horse called 'Playupskyblues' running in the 1:05 at Goodwood. Owner must be a City fan I presume! Anyhow 20/1 with Bet365 - be lucky 🤑🤑🤑

    Time to get organised?

    First of all I must apologise, as I am currently working abroad and do not expect to return to the UK until 2023, so I acknowledge that the following is a case of asking people to engage in something I can't do myself until that time, and if people want to criticise me for that fair enough...

    Outside the box idea to settle League 1

    While we have this impasse on how to decide League 1 between all the vested interests it's struck me that there is a possible middle ground in all this, allowing every team that wants to stop playing to do so and those that want to play on to also do so. This basically works by allowing those...

    Players whose careers at City prematurely ended because of injury. To start I give you Lee Hurst, Graham Oakey and Liam Daish.

    Rochdale Forum

    Very quiet there but a couple of comments about one of our posters (might have been Nick) being worried about Calvin Andrew being up against Drysdale. Looks like they view Andrew like we do Baka, so naturally there was some amusement from them about this. Nevertheless the original comment was...

    Coventry Talbot

    Anyone remember when Jimmy Hill was Chairman that he wanted to change the club name? A lot of our younger supporters may not be aware that JH was unpopular with a large proportion of our support at the time, who were not keen on some of his ideas like all seater stadia, our investment in US...

    Sunderland Documentary

    Just watched documentary on Netflix about Sunderland's relegation last season from the Championship. I found it quite fascinating, but one of the biggest things that striked me, which shone through was the fragile confidence of professional footballers, even experienced ones, and the negative...

    Academy Players

    With sales of Wilson, Maddison and Stevenson in recent years, together with important players like Bayliss and Willis the Academy has obviously been coming up trumps, but I feel we might be missing a trick with the likes of Camwell and Ponticelli particularly. In respect of Ponticelli, in a...
