Pre-Match View From Coventry

[Houston_Blade]

Another game we need to win irrespective of what's gone on between fans this season. I give as much of a shit about their plight as they probably did about us when we got relegated from the PL, us suing West Ham was laughable to most people outside of Blades fans, their stupid protests against a hedge fund who they were once happy about being their owners is laughable to most people outside Coventry.

 

[Robby Blade]

And ... they LOST!

Bwahahahahahahaha!

Enjoy the fourth division you dishevelled shower of hamster-fingering, jizz-moppers. Have fun playing Newport (and losing) you woeful collection of pointless, sniffers of fat lasses bike saddles. You pathetic examples of flaccid-cocked, shit grids. I hope your dismal little club plays in it's cavernous stadium to twelve pitifully subnormal cretins, a sex offender out on license and a man who looks like Douglas Carswell, in drag. I hope you lose 8 nowt to every team everywhere and Your next manager is David Wier and his pet donkey, Moyles.

(hope they have a roygbiv-type who publishes this shit on their site!)

It's Duggies viewfrom.

The thing I found weird about ownership is this simple equation

Challenge for success, gain promotion = Good owner
Struggle based on budget, face relegation = Bad owner
So that means there will always be good owners and bad owners in every division every season.

If Coventry were in the top 2 this season guess what?
Their support would be 15K to 17K and the protest against SISU would be put on hold.

FFS Matt Le Blanc has let himself go since he started on Top Gear!!!

I'm actually in Coventry tomorrow night at a gig, I'm tempted to wear my Blades shirt............

“Tbh if I had to pick between Wednesday and Untied, I’d always go with Wednesday, they just seem to be the more family club and better run".

You would soon change your mind if you had a relegation dogfight game against them at Pigsboro..................just ask Crystal Palace fans.

Biggest win of the season coming against these whistle blowing tits.

 

[Bladesway]

So with all this love in mind what do you think the half and half scarf market will be?

I'll pick a number between 0 and 1

"Family Club" at forty quid a ticket for a kid!!?

Sunderland have a new thread every week about how much they hate us. Just like you lot.

 

[PUSBCCFC]

I am finding this thread very, very amusing.

It really isn't that simple though. There are a number of clubs that are being run chaotically and Coventry are one of them. Of course a well run club is going to finish higher in the league relative to their budget and a badly run club will finish lower than it should relative to its budget. But for some clubs it's not about just being poorly run, it's about being slowly ruined.

I have sympathy for the supporters of clubs that are being run by idiots, like Charlton, Orient, Coventry, Blackpool etc. Their supporters don't deserve it any more than we would if our next owners run us into the ground.

I've no sympathy for the keyboard warriors spouting off about the Blades though.

Finally, a good post.

You obviously haven't read the full thread because I'm not the first to make those type of comments.

I've no sympathy for the twats that have posted anti United comments on your board and on here and certainly no sympathy for you. I thought I'd made my opinion quite clear on this point.

 

[Ricky]

To Coventry fans I'd say....

I realise that the situation at your club is extreme and you are desperate. I would have excused almost any sort of protest, but you were at it all fucking game, whistling and disrupting the game in every way you could, most significantly in the crucial last 10 minutes. It was an absolute piss take, it overstepped the line and you thoroughly deserved the response you got, and you thoroughly deserved to cost your team the game - a game they had probably done enough to deserve a point from.

Secondly, you should go to Bramall Lane tomorrow night. You won't play a league game in a stadium anything like it for a very long time.

What have I said?

 

[Kenilworth]

What have I said?

Nothing
You've never said anything but glib one liners and stated that SISU is ruining your club
No explanation at all, worth it's salt.

So they sell players - who doesn't?
They only intend to invest based on income (which is declining) - not like most of leagues 1 and 2 then?
They are going to sell off the training ground - to pay for the short fall in income - their predecessors already sold Highfield Road with the intention of renting a stadium built and owned by others - why is the training ground scenario any different?

 

[BushBlade]

What have I said?

You've spent so much time on this board trying to mock posters instead of actually engaging with people to explain what your problems are and then when posters bite back you go crying on your own board saying what a bunch of idiots we are.

It comes across as a wind up. You come across as a troll.

Are you going to the match tomorrow pus?

It is a lot deeper than that.

SISU took over a club with an average attendance of 21,000. Year on year they have ran this club stupidly. To move the club to Northampton was an absolute disgrace, don't forget that.

The clubs income is not declining, they made a profit last year. This doesn't mean they are running the club well, though.

This isn't about selling players anymore, this is about having a club to support in the city which plays league football. It is about having a football club for my children to support. If Coventry move out of the city again, which is a huge possibility, it will kill the club.

Wasn't planning to, but I may decide to make the trip if it is pay on the gate.

The flirting continues

I actually feel quite sad for them :-( Not because of their predicament, that can happen to anyone, but because they clearly are a set of sad feckers. The only reason anyone on here has anything against them is because they tried to cheat us out of a win, entirely for their own ends, without any thought for anyone else and Blades hate cheaters. UTB

Exactly why they weren't sobbbing into their Horlicks about it when they took over, just because they failed in their intentions and have decided not to throw good money after bad they are now in the shit. They need an investor, which, from my very limited understanding of the matter is the issue as they won't sell. It's happened to tonnes of other clubs, we just got semi lucky with Princey Boy coming in at the end of McCabes tether. Don't see these "different" circumstances that they keep talking about, Dave Allen won't sell Chesterfield unless he gets what he wants, they aren't blubbering.

I came on here in December to explain things but it didn't work.

....and they say we're obsessed. A cheerful bunch if ever there was one

Going off at a bit of a tangent here but what's the situation between you lot and Sunderland ?

 

[Boxer Blade]

I have a good friend who is a cov fan and sympathise with him, he lives up here and has done for a long time but it is still his team and so I feel sorry for him and any genuine fans I am so pleased its not us because you never know whats round the corner, I am looking forward to the rest of the season and the future, after tomorrow nobody will give all this a second thought, its a great feeling this positivety, long may it continue.

A long story but they blame their relegation in 1977 on ourselves and Bristol City.

 

[Torrix1889]

A long story but they blame their relegation in 1977 on ourselves and Bristol City.

Didn't someone get the kick-off delayed and then, knowing the Sunderland result Coventry and Bristol City played out an effortless draw to save each other and relegate Sunderland?

Edit.....in fact it was old big chin himself....no wonder he is such a club legend and the Coventry fans act as they do now with him as a role model...

The controversy began when Coventry's kick-off was delayed by over 10 minutes, officially because of crowd congestion. It's generally perceived that this was the doing of Hill, the club's managing director. It meant that Sunderland's game would finish well before the match at Highfield Road. They lost 2-0, a little unluckily; news of that reached Coventry around the time Bristol City completed a comeback from 2-0 down, when Don Gillies made it 2-2 with 12 minutes to go. It was then that, according to the following day's Daily Mirror, Hill "raced to the announcer's box with the result, screaming 'Get it on the board'".

The Sunderland score flashed up, and for the last five minutes Bristol City passed the ball between defenders and goalkeeper with not a single challenge from Coventry. In this paper, David Lacey said that "what had been an intensely physical contest dissolved farcically". Hill was reprimanded by the FA, and is still abhorred by many Sunderland fans. When they bombarded him with sour somethings during a Fulham game in 2008, he waved in response and had to be ushered away by police for his own safety.
