    21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread

    We have hit holiday season. Then it is Euros which all Prem Managers tend to attend - and historically slows transfer business. If we have budgeted for Ostigaard or Prem squad loans we may have to be patient?

    New supporters club near town?

    Shaw was a spoiler and an awkward dogged opponent in much the same way Lloyd McGrath was in midfield. You could argue that both were under rated? With one eye on the ref, Shaw did a lot of holding, shirt pulling and liked an arm wrestle with an opponent. After all his nickname was "the...

    The fund is made up of their clients money. So they are borrowing from their clients who expect a high per centage return to off set the high risk of the investment. It is how hedgefunds work. You have spent years mocking every protest against the owners. So until there is an alternative...

    She gets a cut for introducing investors and gets a cut of their profits on an investment. So she does invest in the club it just depends how you look at it. Also you still don't know whether she invests some of her money in the club. She would be stupid not to on 14 per cent interest on a...

    You don't know whether she does or doesn't. A Hedgefund would suggest a group of investors and she could be one? Whether she does or doesn't she still has to keep her investors happy. If they or she can make money out of investing in Coventry why would she want to kill it off? Even rich...

    The 'One season fluke' reality facing most Championship clubs

    The place to look is the Premier League. Look at how the mega bucks is distributed down that division. It really is top 6 biaised and almosts locks the top six into the top six. It is getting to the stage where it is almost farcical to call it a competition. Something I have seen in past is...

    We have had years of it. Can change horses mid stream. He thinks he is really good at debating but he really isn't. His ego is massive, looks down on most posters because he was some top dog at Jaguar. But if he is anything like his alter ego he would have been a horrible little man to work...

    Depends how much of those mega billions are available and what happens when they lose interest and walk away? As normal you are just spinning yarns and plucking out ideas that suit you and claiming them to be fact. The whole football system is fucked and I wouldn't trade our situation for...

    City 4 Everton 1

    I had moved to Sheffield - it was before Social Media. I could not get the result anywhere tv (no dedicated news channel) or radio. I phoned up Coventrys local radio staion at around 6.30pm from something called a Public Phone Box. Guy answered phone said "We won mate 4-1." I think I replied...

    21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread

    I cannot see us signing more than four players. Shipley and Allen will remain as squad players (not a bad thing in my opinion). Late on in pre season we might get four in on loan. Who we get might rely on generosity of the loaning club and their belief in our coaching systems.

    How much have Bolton spunked to finish 3rd in League 2? Look at the debt figures of the Premier League Clubs? We are relatively lean. But the real question is: Is the high volume debt of Premier League football really worth it? It is for a football fan who isn't investing their own money...

    That is like saying the SISU accounts published in this country is the whole SISU? Tim Fisher appointed Robins? So what? How many chairmen/chairwomen actually appoint people?. Apart from the deluded Alan Sugar for his ego massage of a tv programme. "The brilliant businesswoman Seppalla has...

    Next seasons shirt - Embroidered crest?

    I bought this years shirt the other day for a bargain £16. I think Hummel shirts look better than recent shirts - but still look on cheapband nasty side mainly due to use of transfers. I love embroidered crests. But the fully screen printed Coventry Rugby shirts are excellent. The...

    Are you suggesting Mark Robins has been competing on an uncompetitive budget? A Cup win and two promotions and kept us up first year back in the Championship - sounds good progress to me under the circumstances.
