    Declared bankrupt again today and almost certainly will be deducted points again for this coming season?

    Can't be long now until my Coventry Karma sees them go out of business completely and I will be well happy.

    I can't buy into the out of business thing mate.

    Suffering, yeah, 100%, but out of business?

    Imagine losing your ****ing club man, and it's not the fans who made the cheating happen, it was that wealthy big chinned ****.

    This finishes them for me, it's another relegation at the very least if they get that far, it says minimum of 15 points, but they have to follow what they did with Luton (which was a disgrace, BTW), and deduct 30.

    The likelihood is a phoenix club anyway, which will be debt free and as such gain a massive advantage.

    I cannot take pleasure in seeing Coventry's fans lose their club forever.

    Mate, that is a hole that couldn't be filled.

    Yes, we are bigger in numbers etc, but by equivalent, Coventry will have a similar amount of us who's entire lives revolve around the club, how the hell do you replace that?

    Look how many of us are on here most days, whilst at graft to get through day, on an evening for a quick catch up, desperate for news from people we don't know that is utter bollocks in the hope that it might benefit the club.

    If I lost SAFC my brain would be dormant 17-22 hours a day.

    Notice your stress levels go down, your doctor will compliment your blood pressure, and your grey hairs will recede back into a luscious, full bodied complexion of your teenage years?

    Exactly Vince,

    If we'd have stayed up we'd have had a good old wind up on their fans, we can't vilify football fans for being football fans, we're all the same underneath.

    What happend in 77 was just plain wrong but imho Richard Keys is a bigger reason to dislike coventry

    They are being charged about £1 m a year rent for their stadium on top of their other problems, I know 1977 was bad but that is terrible what could happen to them. I hope our stadium is paid for and we never go over budget.

    Ha ha! We'd probably live till a hundred and fifty. But what's the point of living if you can't die by the sword?

    Lived in coventry for a year . Its the most violent place i have ever lived . Went to a few games when I lived there a lot of the fans were only interested in violence, not all of course but I wish nothing but misery for the violent thugs .You get them everywhere I know but for the size of the tiny city its shocking at how many are only interested in violence . The only decent thing to come out of cov was the specials !

    Does this stem from when Coventry and cannot Remember) played out a draw and we were relegated? You just sound like my Dad he cannot stand them either. Was an enquiry ever launched??

    A whole extra half hour eh??? :)


    Sorry couldn't resist - I detest Coventry - My Dad instilled it into me as he remembers Jimmy Hill's ****er esque moment at the end of the '77 season like it was yesterday. But, for the fans of the club (particularly the younger ones who aren't arsey about that occurrence) I feel very sorry
