As SISU appear to laugh in the face of protests, demonstrations, boycotts etc, what about trying to organise something which will reach a wider audience and will be visible to potentially their investors? What springs to mind is a TV documentary which could be shown ideally on a "World in Action"/ "Panorama" sort of programme or at least could be shown in the ITV Central region. The programme could be called something like "Death of a football club" and could chronicle CCFC's decline from FA Cup winners and Premiership fixtures to potless also rans spiralling down the divisions with attendances falling dramatically. It could also interview long-standing fans who have attended matches for decades and can no longer bring themselves to attend. It could also include references about the impact of CCFC's decline on the local community especially as Coventry's other sports teams are also struggling. Finally, you could have a Roger Cook style investigative reporter trying to hunt down the likes of Igwe, Seppala and Coleman for some answers. Does anyone else think such a programme would be highly effective?

Unfortunately ITV have decided that local programmes don't make money & the Central studios have been closed down.

Have a contest between Gary Hoffman and Onye Ingwi of eating gubs in the jungle & ITV might just be interested,

The thing is, it's not just Coventry is it? It's happened in the past. Look at Leeds. Top team in the 70's along with Man U, Liverpool etc. Now look at them. Notts Forest is another one. European Champions twice.
No, I don't think an investigation would help because we all know the problem..... Money. Corporate finance. Big businesses taking on clubs as "playthings". Rich billionaires competing with their mates and then discarding once they're tired of their toy. So I'm afraid the poor old fan at the bottom of the "necesseties" rung of the ladder, will always suffer, even though ultimately it is our money that starts the ball rolling.

Yeah, Chris Coleman's views and major feature on decline of City so I'm told..


Coventry City and the goings on, both on and off the pitch are to be highlighted when football show Late Kick Off returns to BBC 1.
The first show of a new series, which features the Sky Blues, goes out on Monday night at 11.05pm on BBC 1 Midlands which can also be seen on Sky and Virgin by those not in the BBC Midlands television reception area.
