What's the point in spending money this window? We are as midtable as it gets.

Plan for next season? Maybe loans is the better option then?

That’s the most important thing for me, Austin has a lot to answer for tbh, really hope King invests in a new head of recruitment before we spend any cash.

I still fear that we won’t spend much, unless players are sold.

Sorry, don’t agree. We don’t even register with some fans, in the UK or abroad.

Always took great pride in supporting City, a small club, who stuck it out for decades in the top flight.

You’re wrong

Any club in the top flight for 34 years is famous.

Are you saying that there are people in England who have never heard of Coventry City?

Who would you bring in then?

Keep in mind that from your own demand, his replacement would have to get a tune out of this shower of shite (something even the greatest manager in our history couldn’t do)

Steve Cooper. He got a tune out of Forest when they were bottom of the championship.

I said “register” not “never heard of”.

At the moment, some fans don’t even know we were in the top flight. It was that long ago

Based on today's performance we all know relegation isn't happening. Bar a mad final 3 minutes we played well

Long term were going right direction

For a lot of younger fans we’re a lower league club.

Wright coming back will feel like a new signing at this point. Excited to see him and EMC on the pitch together.

So is Notts County.

It doesn’t mean it’s not a famous old club

We need a couple of good loans, not prem youngster's, men that can grind out a result to get us through till the end of the season. Frank can reset then. Once BTA and Wright come back the top of the pitch is ok, midfielders are the issue at the minute, no grit or guile.

They will beat us.

We will be lucky to stay up this season, we have recruited terrible players, no1 would want these players and we haven't a pot to piss in.
Click to expand...
I'm beginning to think we don't have the stomach to stay up, we might grab the odd win against teams below us but any mid table side or above and we will lose.

Need to get some loans in perhaps. Didn't Franks say when quizzed we're the only club who don't have any, something like that.

6 points clear is huge. We could lose the next 4/5 and we'd probably be clear of safety. There's some awful sides down there.

The likeability thing is overrated. Everyone loved the same squad last season at Wembley. We like them because they win.

Its not the same squad, and even then, the squad last season wasn't as likeable as the one that preceded it

Been lying in my bed as suggested by MAFF and thinking of current position

I.dont agree we are only 12 points off top 7oif we can get a motivated team and behind them add a little luck (this is sadly missing up.to now.- We can get up there

Come on skyblues

I'm still baffled as to why criticism of King is described as 'hatred'.

'Doug King can fuck off. Utter wanker'

Is that 'criticism' or hatred?

Not hatred. Heard that aimed at several players as well some unfairly in my opinion, but Ive not accussed anyone of hating them players.

There's been some vitriol aimed at him I can't deny but it's a small minority.

I've been accussed of hating King, I don't. It's Just a tactic to shut down criticism of him

So where's the criticism in that quote?

Ps. You're nuts if you think that was 'criticism'.

I wasn't referring to your post.
Edit - think I've misinterpreted your post.

But you can call someone 'utter wank' or all sorts of things without there being any hateful intent.
As I said people say that shit about players all the time.

I don’t expect much from CCFC teams beyond an acceptable bare minimum. This team has failed to do so countless times this season and don’t even look bothered by their performances.

Indeed they find their efforts funny these days. I get why the opposition laugh at us, don’t get why we laugh at ourselves. The one good thing will be that come the summer the chief piss takers can be moved on and this season forgotten. Unless relegated of course…

hate to say this but look at Sunderland, might be wrong but didn’t notice they spent a lot in the summer, just added some experience to what they already had, wasn’t any pressure on them to do well this season and their fans didn’t expect anything, bit like us in the play off season,but total opposite, to us now, pressure‘s been on these players from the fans since the stoke game, clearly not been able to handle it

I don't think anyone is coming in until someone is going out.

However, some of our fans are totally knee jerk about what needs to go out and what needs to come in. Their only answer is a revolving door.
