To Tom

No-one could do as well as Nemo. ;-)

Could you check all your cupboards and empty spaces, just to see if his spirit is still alive anywhere. Be great to have him back for the epic season ahead!

I try and think behind the headline before clicking onto CET headlines, knowing it's likely to be a rehashed version of an existing story.

This time, though 'Striker move a step closer' proclaims the CET headline. OK, I thought, there's been no talk of a striker....let's see....................Gustavo Hamer

Got me again - they really are gash

Thought He is a defensive midfielder?

I think that's then put in an article.

"Wasps chief ignores offer of discussion about CCFC"

That type thing.

The fact they still haven't reported about the wasps director in the brothel is telling, they would have a field day if it was fisher.

That was my point (which Tom addressed in his response on behalf of the CET)!

Another recent cet headline...
Coventry link as management team is odds-on favourite to land Bolton job
...about Coventry born Ian evatt being in for the Bolton job.
Clear click bait.
The site low grade like the adverts that slow it down.

Or this:
EFL slammed over Championship decision that affects Coventry City
It's about returning loan players, and why only some are allowed to play this season. Coventry are not even mentioned in the article.
Or this.
‘Exciting’ - Mark Robins provides latest on Coventry City recruitment plan
The article quotes MR as saying this about the class of players he might attract “I think it’s exciting because you can make changes and try to improve,”

I liked the one where somebody sent out a warning to Coventry City, in reality it was just somebody mentioning League 1 teams in general.

I imagine I must be in the minority of people who don't read articles because of the headline. All the sensationalist bollocks actively makes me not click it because I know it's gonna be shite. It's easy to draw semi-interested parties in I suppose, but would much rather a less attention-grabbing line that sounds like the article might actually be interest. 'Riding the play-off roller-coaster with Exeter' from the Athletic this morning. No capitals, or sensationalist language, but I know the article will actually be insightful and a worthy read.

I have to say, I agree with most on here. The CET website has really lost the plot. The click bait is what really gets me and most of all the site is awful and unbearable. So much advertisement and other links I feel diverting you to some real dodgy sites.

I have given up on it as its too painful to navigate through without getting these bloody popups. Since Mirror Trinity Group took over it really gone down the shitter. Too many non stories and amatuerish journalism where it seem their only source of information seems to be from twitter.

The ads and links to other sites prevail across the industry .
Really harmful to whatever you're running.

Hi @Tom Leach is there any particular reason you disabled my question about the indemnity clause in the q&a tonight? Why won't the CET do their duty to the football club that belongs in the city they are based in and question a London rugby club on why they want the indemnity clause and do a campaign for them to drop it

What Q&A is this?

If that’s right it’s a fucking poor show. When people think you’re hiding something you don’t to that even if you’ve got good reason without explanation.

Edit: found it. It’s a transfers Q&A you lemon, what’s the indemnity got to do with that?

Us being back at the Ricoh would enable us to have more money to spend on transfers (it's a reach I know )... Still doesn't matter, could have replied to say sorry this isn't the place for this and then point to a place where it is (like when I repeatedly asked in the andy tuner ones earlier in the year and got ignored) but just disabling the comment shows that they don't even want it mentioning which sets alarm bells ringing

Mate I've tried every avenue I can and have been ignored (story of my life ) just thought I'd give it a go. Hopefully @Tom Leach will reply to my original comment and let me know where I can get an answer

Well when you put it like that, I didn't mean in a now then now then kind of way.

More the young city fans who ask when we will be back at the Ricoh.
