Superb drama & entertainment this. I genuinely can't understand people that prefer PL over this kinda stuff, love it. 😍

He's tried to sign him a few times I believe.

They signed 11 players after the points deduction so definitely didn't stop them attracting players. Many teams have overcome that kind of defecit, ourselves included. I think the bigger problem is they had loads of dross, poor management & failing to pay players for months at a time can't have...

I'd be very surprised if he doesn't go to Birmingham. Bowyer loves him.

Take penalties out & Walker's strike rate was significantly better than Collins. He also overperformed his xG whilst Collins woefully underperformed his. But he isn't from Cov so...

Wouldn't touch any of them. There could be a player in Kadeem Harris but he's never showed up with any consistency.

Yes!

Think you might be on to Something.

Eliot Embleton's story really sums up Sunderland doesn't it?

Indeed. Shame the way it ended, when he first started winding down here AV took him under his wing & Doyle couldn't speak highly enough of him then. Wonder what changed?

Started them a few years back but not sure what level he's up to. Definitely won't have UEFA Pro or have worked in a Cat 1 Academy though which was in the job requirements - wonder if that is actually essential?

George Burroughs & Harrison Nee signed pro deals. Expect a few more to follow.

Now joined by Harrison Nee.

Lafferty already had a pro deal but he's come to the end of it. Sorry, my post might have made it more confusing - amended.

Agree. Think it's the way most clubs will go now. If you think about it, our first team has the 2nd lowest average age in the Championship at just 25, so you'd expect once they reach their early 20s they need to be impacting the first team. Do feel for Dan Lafferty though - hopefully he can...

Dan Lafferty released. Alex Costa, Keelan Fallows, Kai Forsyth, Matthew Harland, Joe Nightingale, Sam Pitts-Eckersall, Hayden Purves and Adam Taylor have not been offered professional contracts. https://www.ccfc.co.uk/news/2021/may/news-coventry-city-confirm-academy-release-list/

Ogbeta looks a real talent, my concerns over him are his inexperience & mentality. He was let go by Man City over his attitude, stating he didn't like how structured the team was & felt he was being pigeon holed as a LB/LM & wanted to play in Central Midfield & be one of the most creative...

Which is fine, a perfectly valid opinion & one shared by many I would suspect. To claim that the "footballing brains" agree with you to try to give you some kind of credibility, when all the evidence suggests otherwise though, is daft. Fwiw, I have never said he'd always be in my strongest XI...

No, not at all. It's the fact that they've got to this stage before tackling the issue. Now they're in a position where they can't start their best player in their biggest game of the season as he'll trigger another contract that they can't afford. As @SleepyGinger says, there were some dead...

This is absolutely absurd. How on earth have they got themselves into this position!?🤦🏼‍♂️🤣
