Insight Into Coventry City

[CheeseRolls]

With the general air of optimism around our club at the moment, this is a useful insight into a club where all is not smelling so sweetly.

the two unfortunates: Conversations with Neil Allison (Coventry City)

You have to give the guy credit for such a measured and balanced review. However this has to be one of the first clubs we should be targeting to finish above at the end of the season.

An interesting summary of Cov's situation. Having lived in the city for 8 years, I can agree with much of what he talks about. A lot of their fans are so fed up they have become apathetic towards the club, Boothroyd's tenure was the final nail in the coffin for some. Thorn does seem to have got them playing decent football but I still expect us to beat them this season. Without Marlon King I think they will really struggle this season. They do not seem to be capable of signing anyone half decent and I would worry for their financial future were they to slip into League One.

A crying shame to see one of the famous old names in English football in such peril.

We will definitely be finishing abover cannon fodder such as these, and there are plenty more Coventrys in the Chamipnship which makes me feel so confident we can finish at least in the top six.

i may be wrong but they seem to have been dying a slow death since they moved to the ricoh

It was a nice old stadium, had a decent atmosphere unlike the Ricoh. I think the main issues were the lack of parking in the area and also the lack of facilities. Because it was right in the middle of a residential area there was no space for redevelopment. It's all new houses there now so they must have got a fair amount of cash for selling the land as well.

Money I'd think yes

I am not so sure......there is NO cannon fodder in this division, all games will be very difficult but i expect us to come out on top in a lot of them. Mid-table with a view to a possible late run to the play-offs would be a great achievement. We may get badly rolled over by a few of the teams!

They just signed Iwelumo so don't write them off yet

Even more reason why we'll finish above them, 'kin donkey!
