I'm old enough to remember when we were in Div 1 ,/ PL.struggling to stay up most seasons . Not for me the novelty wears off after a while and it's boring.So don't assume all , some do not .

Not for me the novelty wears off after a while and it's boring.So don't assume all , some do not .The Premier League is - as Brian Glanville said - the Greed is Good League. It is purely about swelling its bloated stomach while the rest of the football clubs go hungry. Nothing can be done about it now. Personally I enjoy the Championship with packed crowds and excitement but we would all take 17th in the Premier League every time regardless who owned the club if it could be a reality

I'd also rather not have American blood money either.When we were in League 2/League 1, I didn't think we'd make it back to the Championship. Let alone play offs, twice in 3 years. We did that without Saudi blood money. I'd rather us do it with some respectability and morality. As soon as people like that take over, we become a soulless club, a toy to play with til they get bored and leave us in the sh*t.
It's a moot point because their is no Saudi prince looking at Coventry.
Not a chance. For a couple of years, maybe, but I can't think of anything more depressing as a fan. Yo-yo club would be far more fun.

When Jimmy Hill was Managing DirectorWhen did you start supporting?
ThisRead somewhere about Sunderland (if they went up)
No idea why. Both parties could very easily cry out in unison "No-one likes us, we don't care "They're sniffing round a championship club. Millwall evidently then they came out and said not them
Wrong thread mate, this one's about Saudi ownersHave we released the retained list yet?

I would hate it if we were bought by an oil state or some kind of oligarch. I get it that it would be exciting to have a turn at being a big club and I expect if you ask Man City fans if they like what's happened over the last few years, most would say yes. It does take a lot of soul of the club though. Having a modicom of success without that crazy money gives you much more of a sense of pride. I think you also enjoy the moments of success considerably more when they are rare rather than normal. All that being said, there are now so many clubs owned by billionaires, it doesn't guarantee success anyway anymore...
Does the old cow still come to games?And the person who wouldnt go again she then promptly screwed the club over via the council maligned view of the club and SISU
. It’s an East Midlands thing.
A lot of Cov fans can’t abide King so god knows how they would cope with non communicative foreign owners …. I think it’s routed in jealousy personally. It’s an East Midlands thing. I had no idea everywhere wasn’t like it until I moved out of the area ….

The Sky Blues have taken up options on midfielder Jamie Allen and goalkeeper Luke Bell.
Sort of. Club had option of keeping him and activated it.Jamie allen sjgns new 1 year deal
Got no issue keeping JA for another year, depends what he wants as effectively he’d be 5th/6th choice. Otherwise we willSort of. Club had option of keeping him and activated it
And:
I thought I'd read we had options on Sheaf - perhaps that isn't true - I'd expect us to exercise that either way.
Glad Allen's got another year, a great professional and offers some continuity with previous generations (which I think is important(
Because he is under contract.Are we hoping for a fee by keeping Collins? otherwise why keep him
And:
I thought I'd read we had options on Sheaf - perhaps that isn't true - I'd expect us to exercise that either way.
Good luck to Burroughs and Howley, been here a long time, (or seems like it), hopefully get offered professional terms elsewhere.
