Coventry Telegraph Article 5 Season 2011/12

Before a few thousand more supporters lose the will to bother anymore, can somebody sort out the mess that is our club? Please?

The fact that only between 50 and 200 people (Media observations vary) supported the protests before our FA Cup surrender would suggest either that most people know SISU are here until they're not (So deal with it), so are getting on with supporting their team, or that people have just given up.

Gary Hoffmann's bid, we are told, could be imminent. Of course it could be. And so is my lottery win. So is admin, relegation, and our play-off push (Should GH's bid succeed) for that matter.

As for Richard Keys revelations of the mess the club is in on Monday's 'Late Kick Off', how very enlightening. Why not tell us man has now invented the wheel too? Or discovered fire? Or, as has been suggested, just keep quiet?

If I had a pound for every supporter I know that believes we can stay up without something changing drastically, I would have fifty pence in my pocket - fifty-one pence short of trying to outbid Gary Hoffmann. Seven points adrift, and five goals worse off than Millwall, who conceded six last weekend? It's not looking bleak, it is bleak. It's desperate.

The purse strings have at last been opened by SISU though, and at least two of the saviours expected to help us avoid the drop have come in so far, though said signings are hardly going to help fill the Ricoh (So it's unlikely SISU will invest much more money).

At least one cynic has suggested Hreidarsson and Tchuimeni-Nimely were only signed because having their long names on the back of replica shirts will bring extra revenue in.

Nimely's no goals in nine substitute appearances certainly doesn't give as much hope to our survival chances as the goals Jutkiewicz was scoring before he departed for far less money than the club were supposedly offered last September. I'll save the criticism till it's deserved though, as Nimely might just surprise those that doubt him.

 

While Coventry fans will be hoping he's learned a trick or two from Balotelli at Manchester City, I'm guessing those at the Coventry Telegraph will be hoping he copies his madcap antics off the pitch as it will surely help sell more papers?! Should Nimely not be the answer though, there's always Roy O'Donovan to fall back on.

 

Rumours that Cody McDonald might be on his way out already are disappointing too, especially as he scored 25 goals in the division below the one we will probably start next season in, so could be a real asset in League One.

'We Love You City' is back on at the Belgrade in May, which could coincide with our drop down another division. Maybe, seeing how many supporters have dropped off since 1987, it should be re-titled 'We Loved You City'?

And while we're dwelling on the past, Noel Whelan is supposedly the guest for Saturday's match versus Middlesboro. If Ken Delieu managed to make the bench recently, maybe there's just the slightest chance NW might resurrect his Coventry City career?

Nothing much would surprise me at our club anymore....
