Their fans believe he’s done this in order to force the sale of the football club to him.

The bloke is an utter b a s t a r d but he understands business.

Perfect tactics.

Albion are away at Coventry this month.
If Coventry called his bluff and got another ground share, he would be screwed.
Would anyone be up for them using ours, if the price was right

He won’t be screwed, he’s with billions, this is loose change to him.

He could set up a new club if he so wished or he could turn it into a mega, multi purpose arena or a housing and shopping complex.

Would the world really miss Coventry City?

I wouldn't want us to share The Hawthorns with anyone, certainly not Coventry s hitty.

Well you both hate Villa so when you play each other you can sing the same songs

Ashley has millions but he does not know how to enjoy it as he’s a greedy c unt! Who would care if he goes the same way as Mr Hayes Travel!

I do very little now like Des - tomorrow May never come! What’s the point in being dead with money! Sad w ankers!

I don't hate anything or anyone now that Hindley and Thatcher are gone. I certainly don't hate football club's, that's childish.
I enjoy rivalry, banter and wind up.
Coventry are pretty much a nothing club that got lucky and won the cup once. They spent most of their existence in the lower divisions.
But when they bought Hughes off us and we were struggling they acted like they were Manchester United.
I remember things like that.
It would be ironic if they came begging to share our ground.
Let Blues have them, another club that has only one trophy in a hundred and forty years of football.
Keep the s hitties in one ground.😂

Remember how bad Highfield Road was as a ground?

I remember one brilliant night there though in early January 79 when we drew 2-2 in the FA Cup 3rd round.

They gave us the open topped end behind the goal and we packed that whole end, I’d guess we took 15,000 there that night, it was a nightmare trying to get in.

There was more than 38,000 there, I think that was their last ever really big crowd.

They got a late equaliser and we then thrashed them 4-0 in the replay at our place in front of over 36,000.

These were the days before Jeremy decided we were a mid range second division club!

We’d already beaten them 7-1 in the October.......no wonder they wore that brown kit!

That brown kit was awful but would probably look ok against some of truly dreadful kits that are used these days.
