Hull aren't infinitely smaller than us.

I would say they are, we’ve spent more seasons in the top 2 divisions than them, our average is usually bigger than theirs in general. We’ve won more than them.

we’re better and bigger than them in every possible metric other than biggest transfer paid and received.

they’re a similar club to Wigan and Bournemouth in terms of stature, who again I wouldn’t say we’re bigger than us

Bournemouth we’re nobody’s until Demin turned up. They spent their whole history floating around L1/L2 and the national league

That'll be the death of their 'loyal' Coventry fanbase then.
They won't want to travel that distance for 'home' games.

You can’t live in the past of what was 30-40 years ago. We need to attract new fans, the kids of today. They aren’t aware of the old days, the premier league days, the days of highfield road.

Yeah the history is good for people who remember it but we need to grow our fan base and history 30 years ago isn’t it. It’s a business!

I understand the want for success, anyone and everyone would wants success for their team. I’d rather live in hope and one day do it as Coventry City. Instead of rip the very history and soul out of the club we all fell in love with all the way down to the Sky Blue, than become a franchise club called Rasenballsport Coventry at the Red Bull Arena running around in red and white. The day that happened would be the death of Coventry City.

There is the alternative of being a hipster club like St Pauli/Union Berlin/Paris FC. Plus with leafy Leamington so close the fan base is already established.

First time I’ve heard anyone consider anywhere near Cov ‘Leafy’. That said we did for a period live in Weddington, Nuneaton which definitely had at least one tree. But then we ended up back in the pits on Arbery Road (or whatever it’s called).

Does that apply to everything that's over 30 years old? Rip it out, cancel it, pretend it didn't happen.
Jeez, I wouldn't want to live in your world.

Confused as honest “play hardball Dave”
Said we should be near planning permission and Joy is excited by it

Sky Blues say new stadium planning application 3-4 years away

The Sky Blues returned to the Coventry Building Society Arena this summer but are pressing ahead with plans for a new stadium on the University of Warwick campus

You could bid goodbye to Robins, look at how Keegan left Newcastle in 2008 and you will see why. He doesn't like his managers having lots of control, brings his own cronies in (Llambias, Charnley, Dennis Wise, Joe Kinnear etc.) - Why do you think he was happy to let Rafa Benitez walk out the door and replace him with Steve Bruce

Not to mention the dreadful and tacky Sports Direct logo being plastered everywhere

He has form for falling out and sacking popular figures and then appointing people like Joe Kinnear.

Half his management decisions seem like they were made after an afternoon bender down the pub?

He a football financial expert who lectures at a top financial university. I’m not sure why you think he doesn’t know what he’s on about. The piece in about 2 minutes long just saying that Sisu are looking to sell. What did he get wrong?

Isn't this the chap that has regularly had to be corrected by our supporters over the basic financial facts about the club and always takes it badly when he's shown to be wrong?
