Apparently the board are meeting on Wednesday to discuss the start of the next season.

Would like to think he has some loyalty to the club, but the reality is if they offer better pay and transfer budget then will could go.

Agreed and love the way Robins does this. It just makes good sense both from a financial and football point of view. Just amazed that more clubs don't take this approach.

Agree with that and think we should sign him. Just slightly cringing at the twitterati acting as if he will be our savour for next season. To survive we're going to need our attack to improve, which I'm sure Robins recognises.

I was simply saying that paying 200k makes it more of a gamble. Just worth noting. Still think we should sign him.

Apologies if this has already been mentioned, but apparently we have to pay £200,000 compensation for O'Hare to Villa. Not saying we shouldn't buy him, but it does make it more of a gamble.

I will always remember his Wembley goal, but when we sold him I was quite happy. I never thought he was premier league quality and we got a decent sum. Wish him all the best, but wouldn't want him back.

Not referencing a specific post haha. Just speaking about transfers 'I know a guy' generally.

A Coventry fan who claims to have a knowledge from an inside source? Doesn't seem very likely.

That's nothing. I once got beaten up by a Chicken Korma.

So both Rose and Dabo have got injured haven't not played football for the last three months? How very Coventry City.

No completely agree. Just wondered whether there was a misinterpretation of the 'transfer window will take care of itself' comment. I think many saw that as a reference to loan signings, but it could well be the case that Robins is just generally well prepared for it. No other manager I would...

When Robins said 'the transfer window will take care of itself' I kinda presumed he meant that in reference to the loan signings. Hopefully he'll have back up as Walsh has fallen through and O'Hare is 50/50 if that.

Agree with this. He was great last season, but he's not going to be a player who single handily keeps us up. Obviously want him to join, but hope we don't overspend on him.

That seems to make sense. Was hoping UEFA will make a decision soon, but that'll probably be unlikely if they have to assess the situation in every single European league.

Presumably they also have to give the clubs a certain amount of notice so they can prepare for the season. My worry is that we'll wait for that notice and it'll only be a month leaving our players unprepared after having not played for half a year.

Another good point. We can't have a future and become a great team until we are guaranteed a stadium. No point agreeing to come back if it's only for three years. Even ten years would be relatively short term. I also don't fancy renting with Wasps who have shown no respect to the club that gave...

Thought there should probably be a thread devoted to this. Do we have any idea of the process in place? When will a decision be made? When is it likely to start?

A promising player and good forward planning from Robins.

Spot on. The last season we were there the pitch got into really bad condition (watch our victory against Stoke). If we our in a stronger position now, then I would request that they pay for the upkeep, but the we have control of the management. I do not want all the good work undone by an...
