They should probably sell the club, but they don't have the sense, and too much pride to do that (Obviously there will be no buyers right now given the economic slump). A fire sale to balance the books could happen regardless of the current situation. On the other hand, how many clubs will be in a position to buy, with little money coming in and even wealthy owners taking a hit?

I'm a similar sort of person. I can't stand Lady Contrived.......sorry Lady Gaga, as everything was a marketing ploy to distract from the fact she blatantly ripped off Madonna and Cyndi Lauper. Beyonce is another one. She can sing, but a load of her songs are really over produced tripe. To get back onto TV, I don't generally watch dramas so all these shows pass me by and I don't care if I'm out the loop.

Facebook rumours abound that there will be a 3rd series of Life on Mars. Not sure of the veracity of the rumours, or whether it is a good idea. I loved it, but the first series of Ashes to Ashes put me off that, though I hear it picks up in the 2nd and 3rd series.

Depeche Mode-Love, in itself

Fun fact (though that's a matter of opinion): I used to work with Andy McEvoy's nephew or cousin at DHL when I first moved to Coventry.

Also owned by an American, German manager......and so on. As for Wolves, they're no heroes as they're run by one of those super agents on behalf of a Chinese billionaire.

That last sentence is so true 47er. If promotion is not achieved this season, or next we'll be like Birmingham City, QPR, Cardiff. No realistic chance of advancement, producing the odd good player to be bought cheaply by teams on their way to be promoted or premier league teams taking a punt on a potential star. And I don't think Mowbray is good enough to get the club promoted.

Today's game sounds like an example of why I don't think the play offs will happen this season (or probably next). We had the chance to get into the top 6, but played so badly, with unreliable players, we are now having to hope it was a one off but half expecting a bad run. Goodness knows whether we can keep the better players in our squad to try again next season but Mowbray's best would probably make us a team that can consistently finish 8th-12th. Which is fine if you're not bothered about promotion or keeping the likes of Dack, Travis and Lehinen here. To get back into the premier league and repair the damage caused by Venky's, Jerome Anderson and Steve Kean we would need more.

We'll be just out of reach, like we have been the last few weeks.

Coventry City now currently top. No idea which ground they'll be at next season.

If there are Rovers Doc Martens, I'd be interested. Adidas trainers seem to be too narrow for me.

Hopefully what sounds like a good performance will be the start of a good career at Rovers after so long looking pretty pants. Just don't put him on the wing Tony.

They should have given me £1m to be on their books, he was that bad. Hughes and his successors did sign some plums.

I agree, City fans have had enough crap to deal with over the last 10 to 15 years, and has really damaged the club's standing and the whole city. And if a stadium is not quite up to standard, a club should be given time to fix issues, as promotion is likely to mean more money. Money that can be spent on improvements. On a side note, what is the rule about 3G pitches? The Butt's Park Arena where Coventry Rugby play (as well as the Bears rugby league team and Coventry Utd) is a 3G artificial pitch.

Very long story, but JHRover has done a pretty good summary. When the council and a something called the Alan Higgins Trust sold their 50% shares to Wasps they paid up front. SISU, Coventry City's owners, tried to put their bid in through some shell company or something that was in receivership, which sounds dodgy to me. There has been constant talk of buying Coventry Rugby's ground, or building a new stadium on the old Speedway track that is now derelict. The former is unlikely as the rugby ground has been built up by the club and the owner John Sharp is not going to make it a tennant for a quick buck, and the latter is a non starter as there has been a huge legal battle over who owns it and what it will be used for, for years. Hence why it is derelict and there is no speedway team any more.

Mr. E is not wrong though Chaddy. This is looking like Bowyer all over again. Selling Dack in the summer and getting someone of the level of Chris Brown as a replacement is not an impossibility. If only we didn't waste £12m on poor strikers.

That Korean Ki Sung-Yeung has left Newcastle, and is available on a free. No idea if he's any good though.

We'll not sign anyone, and be given the same excuses and bull. We'll still check this thread until 11pm though.

Luca's cousin owns an Italian restaurant in Bedford so who knows..........

Could he have fallen out with Cooke even worse than what has happened with Mowbray and thought Tony was not that bad after all?

Hopefully not like Jonestown. Travis a pretty decent player.

I used to like Football Italia too. I liked watching Sven's Sampdoria team.

I think it will be a good season or so until they really show what they can do. The sheer drop in form from the relegation season until the Cowleys came will be a long term repair job.

And Cowley's form isn't bad compared to the form of the previous year or so. Huddesfield and Stoke looked absolutely dead and buried before they changed their managers, now they're at least making a fight of it. I know you can't rely on the owners to find their bums with both hands, but under Mowbray things have stalled, and if a couple of our better players are sold I wouldn't trust him to replace them adequately. Then relegation would be much closer if that happened as we get the next Chris and Wes Brown in for 'experience'.

So we just accept a slide into relegation when the few good players get sold? Using FFP as an excuse for your hero is a bit weak. There are cunning ways around it I am sure, or do you want us to be playing Fleetwood or Blackpool soon because it may be a shorter commute for you? No, let's stick with Tony because all change is bad, and use finances as an excuse to have no ambition, drive or desire to do better. And if we are relegated in the next 2 seasons, stick with Mowbray, as he got us out last time.
