I think it depends on which satellite town big city residents go to. Big influx of students and Poles etc. into the City and people working less in city centre factories means that a lot of ex Cov folk move to Bedworth / Rugby / Leam. I guess Leicester folk have moved to Hinckley. (Going off...

I’ll try to answer that: The Fraser Group founded by Ashley is no benevolent society and has a history of being hard nosed. Maybe (just maybe) King would be better to have a blueprint back up plan up his sleeve than being in a position of potentially being squeezed later. Out of all of SISU’s...

He can get Ken Delieu’s old tracksuit and just swap the letters round.

Map of City v Utd supporter majority. I think. I wonder if anyone’s ever bothered to do a Cov / Leicester / Brum / Villa map.

Is there a Middlesbrough / Sunderland rivalry? Would they want to avoid each other first leg? Do they compete for fans (Google maps time) in Bishop Auckland / Durham? (Probably overthinking there) Would Middlesbrough want to go easy on us if it meant Sunderland slipped out of frame? Need to...

Thinking about it, if they did play their full team and we hammer them, wouldn’t that be more damaging than playing a weakened team and losing? Who knows. Anyway

Middlesbrough (stating to obvious) want to win the playoffs. They’ll want to go in with no injuries to key players and no suspensions. If that means resting a few and telling the players not to go into daft 50/50s then one would think that’d be how they approach playing us. If that gives us...

Cardiff v Huddersfield TV game today and is the first match in a while that means absolutely nothing to us. Most TV games have meant “if x beats y then the game against z becomes important because z can catch us / can rest players etc.”. This one: zilch. Hang on…. If Hudds win then...

What’s that? £3m per year?. Earns his money, Robins.

Those plans for 15000-20000 modular stadiums. Shudder. 32000 wasn’t a big enough stadium today.

Is the Gyok celebration a “Bane” (dark knight Batman) reference or “Predator” reference or what? Any ideas?

Good spot. Didn’t realise. Gotta love Wilson. On all the “Sky Blues Unseen” vids he’s constantly smiling and buzzing - just what we need in the club as a whole.

Birmingham area has quite a few clubs (Brum / Villa, arguably WBA) and possibly Solihull. I’d argue that Cov has huge potential support if you bolt on Nuneaton, Leam, Warwick etc. I don’t think there’s many bigger cities than us with only one club that also has big satellite towns it can tap...

I reckon they rest Akpom. Because they can and it’s sensible. That’s the pickle. We can’t rest Gyok.

Vik scores 1 next week and Wilson keeps a clean sheet then my absolute guess works out.

Sunderland and WBA results bad. Being in playoffs before last match was ideal, we could have technically rested players. Boro perfect scenario: rest players and let us win knowing they will play us next two matches. Also perfect for them: Gyok injured, Hamer suspended for semi(s). I...

To suggest SISU couldn’t find the money is nonsense. They could have raised the finance. As an absolute last resort they had assets in the form of players. (And bridged the finance if need be) Read it back.

Right ho. Don’t be a Sasshole. Grow up. Take the feedback. Cordially.

I’m merely stating that SISU under normal conditions could have raised the money had they been not caught flat footed. To suggest that no one else would pay £16/£18m? What? Doug bid more. The EA that MA locked out other bidders. The stadium not worth £18m? How much to build a new one...

There’s a load of utter drivel on here that there was no way SISU could have raised 18m£ if they had the opportunity. At that time, Vik, Gus, Cal (not injured) were worth far more and could have been pre-sold and the contracts raised funds on. Plus the stadium itself was an asset on which...
