    Sounds like we couldn't find another Hamer so we're going to make one ourselves 😄 And yes strengthening the backup players is important. But we can't just bring in a player this late in the season and expect them to slot straight in. It was easier in the days of 442. Now each player is a piece...

    Maybe the O'Hare situation is why we are giving out 4 years or longer on new signings. If the rumours are correct we wanted to sell him before he got injured which would have strengthened our side. I agree we need to keep him for this push for promotion. We need all the goalscorers we can get...

    It's OK. You can also wear trousers if you desire.

    But your point was nobody would bid for our players at the end of the season because they would have 3 years left. Now you're going on about 1 year. It's quite simple. A player under contract has a value. The value is what someone is prepared to pay. The holding club don't have to sell. 2 years...

    No. But they are lovers though ❤️

    He certainly brings something to the table that's needed. Not much on a football pitch these days though.

    You had just said no clubs would bid for our new players because they would still have 3 years left on their contracts. Yet now you've going on about 1 year. Will get less when 1 year left? Nothing to do with your earlier post but hey ho OK I'll play. We sold 2 players with just 1 year left...

    The length of contract doesn't make much difference from 2 years long to older. It just gives a peace of mind to the owning club. Clubs won't offer more for a player on a 3 year over a 2 year contract. Pressure to sell is a different thing. Every situation is different. A big money offer for...

    Don't worry. Just about everyone on here is ITK that you're a troll who badly insults people when you're shown to be wrong. Just bloody mellow out and enjoy the journey. Life can't be that dull where you find your excitement from trolling people.

    My concern with Robins

    We have most probably been approached before. But what club would even tempt Robins to leave us again? He knows the grass isn't greener. Been there it went wrong. Got a second bite of the cherry with us. Why would he want to give up on a club where he has a massive say in everything and is...

    My concern with Robins

    I'm fully with you. Born in 68. All I ever knew was top flight football and mainly relegation battles. Seen many managers come and go. Mainly glad to see the back of them. Didn't appreciate them days until they were gone. Then it all went downhill very quickly. In all my years just won the FA...

    And O'Hare? If O'Hare has decided his next contract will be in the Prem if possible and we don't get promoted there's nothing King or his agent can do other than one looks to get him a Prem side and the other says thanks for the memories. But we still have 19 games for us to get promoted or...

    Have you seen his post match interview yet? He may be good. But overvalued and a bit of a twat.

    Look at his performances. Look at his goal celebrations. He is 100% behind trying to get us promoted playing his best football ever and he isn't even fit yet. O'Hare has been a big reason we are where we are. A big part of the togetherness at our club. Look at him trying to get the supporters...

    My concern with Robins

    Win the playoffs? Last season I felt it was more important to get promoted than this one. We more or less knew we would lose our best 2 players if we didn't go up and would need a big rebuild. This season it's just go along with the journey. If we fail again this season we'll have a cracking...

    My concern with Robins

    I'm on the side of not questioning him for a few reasons. The main reason is he hasn't given me a reason to question him. Whatever he has had thrown at him he has improved us each season. Not easy to do 6 seasons consecutively without the restrictions he has been put under. It hasn't been a...

    My concern with Robins

    Did you miss the statements on how other sides wouldn't be jealous of any of our players? Did you see the list of players supposed to improve us? We're Coventry City. I get it. The only luck we're used to is bad luck. For many years we thought we were back on track to have yet more setbacks...

    My concern with Robins

    Of course it is. But you can only do a certain amount in one go. Torp looks like he could well improve the 1st team let alone the bench. Not a panic buy. We will only bring in the right players at the right price. Players that can improve. No wasting money on stopgaps. It's not just being...

    My concern with Robins

    OK. I'm with you now. So from your list of players say which of those players you would prefer against which player of ours. 1st team and same position.
