And we're back!
Some supporters are claiming, following successive draws, making the play-offs is unlikely. They apparently were a couple of weeks ago too, then we beat Peterboro and Rotherham, and gave ourselves a chance!
This squad can still achieve the seemingly impossible if they stick together (Becoming legends into the bargain), and we don't have to many players causing upsets.
With that in mind, it was massively disappointing to read Leon Clarke wants to leave. Is it to much to ask for loyalty from a decent player for just one season? Is staying long enough to break a record or two not remotely important? Can Clarke not survive on his dismal wage till the summer?
And there was me thinking everybody at the club was 'All In This Together'?
His transfer request drew interesting responses from fans that know him, claiming he is great at this level, but not good enough for the Championship. If he signs for Wolves, I expect him to be looking for a new club in twelve months!
I'm also interested to see if Leon Lobjoit ends up at Barcelona or Burton. Said to be a potential talent when we signed him, I was disappointed to see him leave without proving people right or wrong.
As for the continued nonsense off the pitch: MAKE IT STOP!The manager, the players, and supporters deserve better.
On thirty-five minutes during Friday's match Coventry fans are supposedly going to hold up banners asking 'Why?' [As in, why are the club playing home games 35 miles from Coventry?]. We know why!
A representative from one side of this mess claims they want to do what's best for the tax-payer. Two points: (1) Since when? (Have you seen the state of our town centre?). And (2), I'm a tax-payer, get me my club back! Speaking to other tax-payers, they want this too.
Get the ground valued, offer it, and (Hopefully) sell it to SISU (Otium/whoever). Then insert clauses to stop them making a fortune off the back of it unless they have stuck around and brought the club success.
To anybody that thinks clauses don't work, the 'Confidentiality Clause' that has stopped fans finding out why we are in this mess in the first place remains unbroken.
The priority over all others is that Coventry City need to be playing in Coventry. Anything else can be sorted when they come 'home'. The whole saga has gone on to long.
As for the other side in this shambles, make a bid for the Ricoh, or buy some land and lay some bricks! Alternatively, sell up (The latter won't happen, so do either of the former). Just get this mess sorted.
If the two sets of [insert word of your choice here] can't sort this, I have two young children, each willing to represent either side, that are willing to sort this mess out in a more adult manner. They want our club back too.
