And minutes later... "I cannot stress the importance of getting SISU out of Coventry City enough" (See my final comments on the 'rumour from a source' thread, if you can be bothered with cross-thread tittle tattle).

Except for the fact that SISU would not deal with Hoffman. This was just guesswork as it was clear through their comments about cutting the wage bill dramatically that they were planning to be in place until at least the close season.

I posted the rumour that Thorn would be sacked after being summoned by SISU the other day. Later that day, I heard that the thinking was that Thorn would be sacked, but he was in fact told precisely what the original poster said.

I cannot stress the importance of getting SISU out of Coventry City enough.

Cancel that rumour. Not in the habit of spreading gossip, wires crossed. Thorn was not sacked today, despite meeting with SISU.

I was not stating Thorn should go now. I was just passing on what I heard; that Thorn was called to a meeting today & the feeling was that he'd be sacked. I have long argued that SISU would not finance such a move, so would have responded to such a thread with scepticism (if not quite as much...

He is a keen dogger.

So I am told. Can't see SISU splashing the cash on a replacement, his hands were tied, thought he still had the players' support. I don't doubt that there are better managers out there & a new one might give some fresh impetus, but a shame all things considered. If I am wrong, apologies. This is...

To be honest, I would be surprised if there were any takers for Eastwood, I'd be surprised if even SISU were stupid enough to sell Keogh, I'd be surprised if we got anyone else in. So, with regret, I'm out (of this thread).

You care enough to join this forum, sharp guy.

Two points of order... Football managers talk in cliches. Our rookie manager is no different. If you are hanging him out to dry because he said 'he was my number 1 target', you are looking for ammunition. It is but one phrase (not even a sentence) used in an interview about having signed a...

SISU vs. signing Heskey and Hleb... Even with retained Championship status and new ownership, Hleb would seem pie in the sky. I admire your optimism, but set your sights lower as it'll be the hope that kills you.

Strongly disagree that Tabb was awful. Good little player, worked his socks off and was an asset for us. For 'awful' midfielders, see Darby, Julian and Cook, Paul.

It seems like someone was challenged to get as many rogue names as possible into a completely made up rumour. If the world wobbles on its axis and this does come off, I might start Wise, Ginola, Gronkjaer and Laudrup, with Wilkins, Thorn and Gould on the bench.

I'm not saying Deegan had a comparative stinker, I'm saying his play today --> 5.

Murphy 7 Hermanator 7 Cyrus 7.5 Keogh 7.5 Cranie 7.5 Thomas 7 Clingan 7 Deegan 5 Sheffers 8 Nimely 8 Platt 8 (in the grand scheme of things)

See above for people who don't read the whole thread before commenting.

Football fans: animals who see what they are predisposed to see. Example A: Platt puts in a very tidy performance up front and gets called on making the two worst passes since Julian Darby. Objection.

He held his own in a team that ending up easing to victory. All players ebbed and flowed within the games, but I would say it was an alright performance generally with a welcome three points and three goals - with above average performances by McSheffrey, Platt, Nimely, obviously Keogh and, as...
