Played for Chelsea too, they signed him from Notts County for £100k big fee in those days, they sold him to Liverpool same fee, we bought him for £80000 but soon flogged him on to Birmingham for £72,500. Remember going to Stoke where we won 3-0, all headers Hateley bagged 2 both from outside the...

Let's not forget we have also signed 7 from the youth set up I don't know who is good, bad or indifferent but they must in Robins's opinion be good enough to come in and do a job maybe there's a centre half amongst them.

Last years team in most games was the worst I have witnessed in my 55 years watching City, okay a lot was down to inept managers like Slade and Venus and the team did pick up a bit once Mark Robins got hold of them but basically the players weren't good enough. Robins has done the right thing...

I'm afraid he was I know his mum in law, his gross earnings at Newcastle was £6million, not bad for about 20 first team appearances

I agree Stevens appears very influential re the Acadamy behind the scenes it's almost run totally separate from the main football club, just hope this new c.e.o doesn't interfere like Waggott constantly did.

I knew we were staying st Higgs weeks ago, apart from everything else there's a big doubt if the Wasps/Higgs project will happen for a long time, if ever.

Just illustrates the ineptitude of our the bloke running our club toxic Tim Fisher, allowing starlets to go out of contract and reducing any fee by thousands, could even be millions. I wonder if Joy Sepalla realised how much he had cost her company ?

Don't worry about it, he won't be at Cov. so live with it.

55 years ago we kicked off the new season with a home game v Notts County in Jimmy Hills first full season as City manager, complete with the brand new Sky Blue kit, brand new forward line of Humphries, Barr, Bly, Whitehorse and Laverick curtosy of chairman Derrick Robins £30k gift. As an...

No matter what fee we get whether it's 10 thousand or 10 million not a penny of it will be spent on the team

If Sepallas statement about personally appointing Robins why is toxic Tim still hired ? or is he ?

In my opinion our academy lacks professionalism

Bigiriamma's agent has told us the problem here, apart from being in division 4 the wages here for a pro football club is pathetic, less than some non league outfits, George Thomas is a young player looking to earn as much as possible from what can be a very short career when you take possible...

Phil Neal did better than a lot gave him credit for, trouble with him almost every time he was interviewed he forever mentioned bloody Liverpool

Good business if Robins gets atleast half of any fee for continued team building bad business if he gets what I suspect....zilch.

Do you really think sisu would seriously consider spending a quarter of a million plus as well as wages to suit, I don't.

If we pay decent money for him could that indicate the takeover might be a bit further down the road than we think ?

I still think the key is the ground,where we play or would like to next season and how much it will cost. No indication of any Wasp deal yet and sooner or later sisu will have to confirm to the EFL where. There might well be a deal with the stadium owner but they might demand significantly more...

Burge is a good shot stopper but of course there's more to goalkeeping than, but I thought he did okay back end of last season

The Mercers Arms, Bob Brolly's dad ran it for years until taking over the Bowling Green in Spon End, whether he owned it can't say. Once it became the Sky Blue Tavern I think the football club owned it.
