    What if …….

    I still think a number of players in the squad still have some headroom to develop. Good management and coaching is as much about developing what you have, as it is about buying new players. You always need a few new faces for fresh impetus but continuity is also important. Pre season is...

    Transfer Rumour Tyrhys Dolan

    Journalists are very good at crowing about the stories they broke, whilst conveniently forgetting about all the bullshit rumours they got wrong. They talk so much shit the law of averages says they will get one or two right.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    It’s good to see him back in full training. A full preseason will do him good, because it looked like he was approaching the right levels towards the end of last season before his injury.

    Kyogo at Celtic wanted a new challenge, with him wanting to move. But it appears his move to Rennes has backfired on him a little bit.

    I'm not interested in player of the season, I want to know who won The Transfer Leaks Award.

    Transfer Rumour NEW SIGNING - Oscar VARNEY

    But we probably talked to his agent in advance and it is normal to do background checks with coaches who have coached him.

    it’s a shame King didn’t have a bit longer to formulate a better business plan when he bid for the stadium initially.

    Club finances

    But we seem more stable and showing growth in the right areas. We have to remember how much the backroom staff have grown which will have increased wages. We just seem to be set up more professionally now and in a relatively short space of time in terms of a business. The lease is the...

    Club finances

    The thing is an owner can chase success by throwing money at players and potentially just down a black hole. Or they can try and grow the club on and off the pitch. Trying to increase the revenues and develop the commercial incomes. The thing is that sort of growth cannot be achieved...

    Pre Season Friendlies

    Woke has been in use since at least the 1930‘s and it is not even a derogatory term. It is just in recent times certain people have hijacked the term and think they are being insulting by using it.

    Yes any club is the sum total of its component parts. You need the right people in the right places and no one person makes a club.

    Transfer Rumour 25/26 Summer Transfer Window

    Is MVE being chased by Premier League clubs? There was Fulham interest until their player signed a new contract. I saw someone suggesting in the media he would be be a good fit for Everton. But I have not seen anything to suggest he is actually on Everton's radar. I'm sure lots of clubs...

    Championship thread 25/26!

    People on the board said more than some fans realised. The fans main complaint about them was the usual football fan mentality of they should just be investing more. But I think they were sensible owners and probably gave Norwich supporters some of their best years. They will probably be the...

    Item 25/26 Coventry Kit

    Take some rugby clubs, the quality of their shirts can surpass the likes of Hummel. But I suspect the cost of producing each item is higher than using a bigger brand. So the club probably gets a bigger margin from someone like Hummel and is why they are with them

    Item 25/26 Coventry Kit

    One thing we have to realise and accept, is we don't actually generate many sales compared to some other teams. If you look at the big sports clothing brands, whether it is team shirts or general sports gear, Coventry City is still small beer despite our recent crowd and season ticket...

    Delia and her husband still have a 10 per cent stake but relinquished their places on the board. They are honorary life presidents. They put a lot of money into Norwich over the years and were very good owners. Norwich really developed as a club under their stewardship. The training...

    That was a nod to a historic kit they had before what is now accepted as their traditional kit.
