Always remember the old joke....man walking past a church in Liverpool sees a sign asking “What would you do if Jesus returned today?”....and someone had scrawled underneath “Move St. John to inside right!”.
Great player in a great team.

Coventry back at the Ricoh arena next season after signing a ten year agreement.

[Twenty Eight]

Not yet ..... it isn't signed and two sticking points. Minimum tenure period and break clauses. Hopefully sorted they deserve to be back.

Ten years maybe enough time for them to sort out there dream of a new football only home in Coventry.

plus their future new world playing every season in one of the european tournments that many of their fans expected on leaving highfield road.

I enjoyed the Ricoh, used to take my niece & nephew there (Sisters kids) good family section, they live about 10 minutes away, little Coventryites & it was prior to the days of Cov & Stanley sharing a league.

Another club with an owner that is disliked by fans sacks manager Harry Kewell leaving Oldham with immediate effect there will always be somebody willing to take it on though.

only in football you,d get about 40 sensible applicants for a job with a disliked owner and a basket case of an organisation who think they could do a good job. in any other walk of life i doubt anyone would apply unless the money was something they could not refuse.

have to disagree with jcs summary about the coming M.K.Dons game about injuries he says everybody is in the same boat with it, i disagree cos on the basis that most teams above us have far bigger squads than us so that makes em better off than us in my mind.

I don’t know if it’s just bad luck, or not, but one puzzling feature for Stanley is how many of those in their squad who are not automatic first team choices, and thus have played few competitive games, are out injured.
