Coventry moving back to the Ricoh for next season so that's another reported £1m they're down.

I loved the games we had with blues in the 90s, they were great fun, especially that 3-2 one bully last minute. I think there was mutual respect not like woth baggies as we just think ans thought they were ****ty.

As much as I hate their fans based on my few trips to St Andrew’s... actually scrap that, I’m indifferent to their fans, I just hate Kevin Phillips...

I can’t enjoy their plight, it could so easily be us. To be honest it could end up us at some point.

Whaddya’ mean, it has been us. Don’t think any of the other West Midlands clubs felt sorry for us, so **** ‘em all. That’s partisan football for you!

I quite like Blues too. I was working in Brum 71-2, and went to St Andrews quite a few times. They had a good team and got promoted with Norwich IIRC. Always disliked Villa though. A bit poncey, with too many fans from Solihull, Sutton Coldfield and Stratford.

I’m from Solihull originally! Unfortunately I was surrounded by Blues fans at school. The posher kids supported Villa once they got back into Division One.

Not sure was being widely reported Friday.

Did read after posting though something about coventry having to pay Blues up, not sure what the agreed term of sharing was so maybe its not all bad for Blues financially after all.

That will be good news for wasps too....

coventry are crap tenants tho, been to a few games with my old man and they arranged protests at the ground, threatening violence and in the end only 5 people with little kids turn up with a bed sheet.....

they scream that they are victims of nasty wasps, but I am sorry sisu ****ed them and they are very brave online but as a fan base do nothing to change the situation.

I may be wrong but l'm pretty sure that Sisu aren't Chinese.

Who owns Coventry City FC?

COVENTRY City chief executive Tim Fisher has assured supporters that the club has got nothing to hide.

A good mate who was a cov season ticket holder told me they have a Chinese invester and they have a decent sized holding of the main sisu company.

I could very well be wrong, as he may have been given bad info himself.

If I’m wrong, I hold my hands up to my source being a total prat haha

Chinese money in the investment company is far from impossible. Who knows...

They are very shady...... I walked out of a short term contract there when I was given my payment terms.......

I have friends who worked in decent roles at the club who didn’t have a clue who ran the club or where the money was coming from as the amount of paper work it took to order tape for the physios was mental!!!!

If there is so much rubbish about the basics then they are in trouble.

They wanted to asset strip the club and saw the Ricoh as the crown Jewell to make money from.

once wasps bought the ground it just went mental.

They let people go to finance lawyers and barristers to try and correct their failed plot to strong arm the council into selling them the ground below the agreed price.

it is a travesty what has happened and the FA & football league need to hang their heads in shame for allowing them to own a football club.

The classic Kevin Francis penalty game I believe?

Was in the Blues dressing room before they played us at St Andrew’s. He was sat down and still taller than me.

He asked if I wanted him to autograph my programme. I said “Nah, you’re aright mate”

To be fair that was during a pre arranged fight between the two sets of lads miles away from any normal fans.

Go for that you know the risks don’t cry about it afterwards.

Birmingham City face paying £1million before fans can fully return to St Andrews

EXCLUSIVE: The struggling Championship club has received a report from structural engineers into the problems that have brought about closure to two stands
www.mirror.co.uk www.mirror.co.uk

“A huge amount of repair work needs to be done. It’s not going to collapse.”

Unlike the club!

Ouch its actually their two biggest/newest stands too!

imagine if they had to keep them closed with fans back? The other two might actually be full for once!

This could quite easily come back and bite them. What exactly do the board expect with the squad they have?

What decent manager would want to go there ?, The record of the present owners show that they dont really know what they are doing, the future for the Club as a whole looks bleak under the current owners who have lent the Club millions, I think things will get worse and they dont have many if any saleable player assetts..

According to the name they've given the stadium, they expect a trillion trophies.

I think they're a bit optimistic.

Possibly a trillion optimistic, methinks...

I'd forgotten about that, probably erased it from my mind though as it's so cringeworthy.
