    From what I remember Solidarity payments are between jurisdictions, but training compensation still applies within it. This is a very similar system, to the solidarity one I think... Tbh, I'm right at the edge of my knowledge here.

    I think we are due 2.5% of any Maddison transfer, as part of solidarity payments. As he was registered for coventry between him being 12 and 18 - we accrue a certain percentage of a total of 5% for each year. Which is weighted more between the ages of 19 and 23. So providing he is sold this...

    Watching Leicester vs Chelsea, Maddison is a great player - Glides with the ball and can pick a pass. But you can just tell he is an absolute ring piece. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Why 433 won't work for us in its current form

    I've never said that liverpool dont do that. My main points are that by using your wide players and full backs differently - we can still run a successful system. Your argument was that we are playing it wrong because we dont play like liverpool. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Why 433 won't work for us in its current form

    So you're telling me that 3 players who have played CAM, RW and LW throughout their careers are now strikers? Just because they are the furthest forward players it doesnt make them strikers. They play 6 midfielders - 3 Attacking midfielders, 2 hard working ball winners with the ability to play...

    Why 433 won't work for us in its current form

    Nothing you have written is correct. I'm not even convinced we are playing 433. Liverpool work because they have no strikers, its 3 CAMs - backed up by hard working central midfielders and with width provided by the wing backs. We dont necessarily need the wingers to come in, if the central...

    The new 433 or a switch to 442/4231 ?

    No but I imagine he has a view on how the government best use its resources.... which is a far better analogy. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    The new 433 or a switch to 442/4231 ?

    Have you ever read inverting the pyramid? Great book, but it explains how latterly football is so fluid that defining teams in normal ways is no longer applicable - as so much is dependent on how players are asked to play within that. People are insistent that we are playing 433 but it could...

    Match Thread Bolton Wanderers vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 10th Aug

    Sky Sports have Dowie at the game - Them and Dowie are desperate for a Bolton result. No mention of the disallowed goals and no mention of the penalty shouts. Just Dowie saying Bolton have some great young talent. Ugly bald bastard. Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

    Bright Enobakhare

    It's not even that we have been playing 433, that implies 3 strikers. It's more a 41221 (or 451 with a cdm and wingers. I'd have thought if we bring him in we shift to a 4231 (or 451 with 2 deeper cm and a cam) I'm fairly sure there was an article last year from Robin's saying that this was...

    Bayliss off?

    The mass hysteria amongst our fans is incredible. Everybody breathe and calm down. 2mill with add ons is great, if he kicks on like Madisson then we are in line for another 3-5 down the line. If not then 2 mill was brilliant business. If this lands us Bright and a striker then I cant see a...

    Most stupid comments you expect to hear at games this season

    I had a corker from a bloke (50ish - a proper terrace Guardiola) and his son (25ish) at Swindon. 'That Dabo is useless, why isn't he pushing up in attack - that's where the danger comes from...' Turns to son. 'Just look at you and Jonesy for our team'

    Marosi looks a great keeper. I thought Dabo looked ok - he is going to have to get better at defending diagonal balls, cause he will get peppered all season. Centre halves looked ok, but they need to play with each other a bit more. A few times we played them onside because we weren't holding...

    Swindon Friendly

    I'm going, only 20 mins for me. Also taking my 6 year old nephew to his 1st ever football game. What an absolute spectacle of football for him to reminisce about in a few years.

    Keiren Westwood

    One of my favourite City players in years - I remember the last game of the 2010(?) Season - we got stuffed 5-0 by Watford at home. It was an absolute dead rubber, we were both mid table, he had been hung out to dry by the defence who were already on holiday. After the 5th he walked behind the...

    I think the lad has to go, as the Club can't have that going on in the youth team. As an aside I would be of the same opinion no matter who it was - if it was Baylis I wouldnt be advocating contract termination but I would be behind selling him. As somebody said earlier, it's the Clinton...
