This thread has completely degenerated into farce now. Agreed; a load of hysterical codswallop. Nothing will reduce the crowds anymore than the pathetic attempts of this season's squad ~ Nicholson's squad ~ that got him the sack. He got them in and they got him out......... FACT! Nothing that Herre...

Yet if you listen to Mark "I run my own conglomerate so know more about business than anyone" Horler and Will "big mouth, no balls" Taylor the man has already been given the job and they are both happy about it and see nothing but good things for us Significant that Taylor has n...

So merse they basicly gambled 100000 grand odd with the hope to repay it with i assume interest against writing off the debts from thea ect....

•Without wishing to go over old ground, we spent a huge amount of time and effort over the 2nd half of 2016 trying to put the subject of community ownership onto the agenda with the board at the time including a full due diligence exercise into the running of the club which provided a valuable insi...

The thing worth remembering is that SISU still own Coventry as far as i'm aware. A big club, regularly on the news for protests and still get over 10,000 fans turning up yet they have been unable to get the owners to change their practices or sell up. They just continue in a state of flux with owne...
