    Callum contract offer

    I would agree Callum deserves to be a top earner at the club, but I wonder if the club are waiting for an actual bid to understand what the market would pay and match that. I don't think he's necessarily a good fit for a Premiership team right now which might limit the contracts he will be...

    Transfer Rumour Haji Wright

    I also think Vik is striking the ball much better now at Sporting, because he is surrounded by really high quality players who are giving him balls at just the right pace and angle. Vik would often snatch at strikes or look off balance. If you think about how we played last season - a lot of...

    Are we about to lose the heartbeat of the club ?

    It's worth considering what the wage model of the club might be and what that really means. Assuming we do have a strict wage cap, players whose market value exceeds that simply must move on. As soon as one single player exceeds the wage cap, is all lost? Presumably that has a knock on effect on...

    Are we about to lose the heartbeat of the club ?

    I would suspect the club are waiting to see what bids might come in before we make another renewal offer. I do remember people at the clubs stating publicly a renewal contract was there for him months ago... but I assume O'Hare & his team will want to see what he can get elsewhere, quite...

    I am sure I will butcher this a lot, but my thinking is this: If you're an anxious or unhappy/depressed person that has spent their life being told to "man up" and pretend you're absolutely fine, all of those feelings really have to go somewhere. If you look at some of the "bed wetting" and...

    He's not wrong really on the whole and I would imagine most professional footballers feel that way and just wouldn't admit it while still in the game. It's taken me years to come to this realisation but sport in general and particularly football is a great way for (predominantly) men to...

    “Lazy”

    Well, the topic proves that he is being given stick because he is regularly accused of being lazy. I understand you don't agree with my other point but it doesn't invalidate or address the original one about unconscious bias.

    “Lazy”

    First of all this is a great thread - thankyou for raising it. That's why it's called unconcious bias... most people don't actively think that way, but we all have inherent biases and are influenced by those as well as everything said by others around us. The stats compiled at the top of this...

    2023-24 New Kit Thread

    I think is this is the proper image of the short sleeved adult kit: Also other variants of the training tops to match these colours: Also, a couple of promo images for the new keeper shirt and the new away shirt: They've taken the site offline, so this is probably all going live...

    2023-24 New Kit Thread

    I'm sure it's not 100% accurate or even close, but what is likely true is that a large portion of the RRP of a football shirt covers marketing, retail, distribution etc - all of which I believe CCFC solely own. Thus they will get a higher % of that RRP than a "brand" club that is selling their...

    2023-24 New Kit Thread

    The 10-15% figure seems low, if you look at something like this: This is for a shirt sold via a 3rd party (like Sports Direct). So in Coventry's case, we'd own the marketing, distribution & retail cut. So essentially everything but the manufacturing, VAT & cost numbers here. If you total...

    Gyokeres

    You're referring to a handful of the very central, touristy squares. So it's pretty visible, crowded and safe. Also, none of those drugs are real, by the way. When I lived in London I never spent any time in Leicester Square either - which is a horrible place to be also.

    Gyokeres

    Speaking as someone who has lived for years in both cities, London is considerably less safe (and I'm not saying it's dangerous, but Portugal is paradise by comparison) and Lisbon has great weather most of the year. I can see Gyokeres being sold on the package - despite not being Champion's...

    Thread for those looking for final tickets

    I have one ticket in the basket £55.75 inc. fees - does anyone from here want it if I bag it? It's all I could get. Definitely gone now. Wishing everyone all the best with their search!

    Final Tickets Thread. Yessss

    Hoping to fly in from Portugal for this - I have 0 points(!) and I am an iFollow season ticket holder(!) for the last however many years since leaving, so no chance unless I'm lucky via General Sale 🫡 . If anyone has a ticket or 2 spare in their allocation, let me know.

    IFollow question, Monday's game

    It is ridiculously unclear but I think it means that local broadcaster could choose to broadcast the game and in that case, iFollow would need to blackout and not allow you to watch the game from the same country as that broadcaster. So, you could try contacting iFollow/EFL (likely won't hear...

    IFollow question, Monday's game

    Looks to me like my country (Portugal) does not have EFL rights: https://www.efl.com/how-to-watch/tv-broadcast/ It's not listed - earlier in the season I think SportTV or Eleven here had EFL games on, but neither list it on their marketing sites as a league they have coverage of. So I think...
