Though I m a little biased, I'd happily enjoy watching the place burn to the ground

Obviously I have no strong feelings on the matter

Agreed the loss of HR is a significant factor - I was hooked in the 70s when it was often packed out (averaged over 30,000 in 1970) and always loud. It makes me wonder how any youngster sitting in that windswept concrete bowl would ever think it an experience worth repeating ??

I hate to ruin the highfield road love in, but has everyone forgot that our last game there guaranteed championship safety.

That should remind people that this club had serious problems long before moving to the Ricoh.

If we get the manager wrong this time I believe the club will go into a terminal decline that will be difficult to recover from. Years and years of dross with no hope of even mounting a challenge for promotion, or winning anything. Even the die hard fans are at their wits end, enough is enough you can hear it at every game now. As the classic saying is 'Don't let the bastards grind you down', well in most of our cases the bastards have....

These are very testing times especially for the fans more than anything.

All the good feeling we had in the summer just seems to be zapped 5 league games in.

As i have said before... the death or re-birth of Coventry will be down to the next manager.

Big big responsibility and huge pressure for the next victim at the helm.

Its interesting how everyone is at of the same opinion that without a top 6 finish this year there will be massive repercussions for the club.

What does everyone think the likely outcome would be if we don't make the top 6?
