The Goalposts Are Moving. Again.

Promotion no longer a realistic aim, and The Enemy forced to move historic gig.

Coventry City's interim CEO Tim Fisher has seemingly just realised that dropping down a division means the club will get less money from the Football League next season.

Recent fairly positive comments have been replaced by more realisitic sound-bites, where a potential promotion push next season has changed to suggestions that mid-table obscurity might be as good as the club could hope for over the next few seasons.

Reducing a wage bill that out-strips the expected turnover in League One is a priority, meaning supporters can wave goodbye to any player they want to see still playing at the Ricoh next season (On the plus side, it means there was never a hope-in-hell of Sammy Sideways staying).

It has been revealed that there have been positive talks over the Arena rent row too, though without details of how much Dick Turpin is actually going to drop the yearly fee by, such comments are not worth making. Enough to help pay the salary of a decent player would be a start....

With that decision being made by the same people that allowed The Enemy to sell tickets for two gigs at Coventry Cathedral before pulling the plug on said event, with around a week left till they happened, supporters are advised not to hold their breath.

The Cathedral would have provided a stunning back-drop for the Coventry band, and possibly brought some publicity for the City, whereas - no offence intended - two nights at The Kasbah probably won't.
