Not the one I was referring to.

I think I have heard that before? But the emotions here get mixed. Was his development affected by a tragedy or did he just go through the motions accepting easy money? He achieved a lot, but we are measuring talent on a broad pallet.. He did play average at the top level.....so would love...

Remember Williams and Telfer had Nanny Strachan for Southampton and Celtic to prolong their stigma.

New environment, new opportunity, your own coaches, your own set up and tactics, playing with your squad.... Development of staff and personnel isn't your thing is it?

Bang average. Ran around a lot. Mainly because his tactical and positional sense was nil. Yes super fit with good motor and didn't lack passion. But the key was probably, "I would rather be a professional golfer than a footballer." Yes it is an accurate quote.

If you can loan a player who is under contract why can't you have them on trial. I think the only restriction would be you can't use them in the first team. The Football League would support this for the simple reason they have a duty of care for the players. Trials help players potentially...

No amount of debate however well researched changes what has happened, neither does it change our current situation. Football Clubs like any business, especially with limited funds has to be profitable. We have to achieve maximum returns. Selling youth at the first opportunity doesn't achieve...

You can't blame Cian Harried for being interested in this and to some extent the club. But we need a better return on our youth talent, from first team appearances 2 years minimum and better up front financial returns (rather than gambling on add ons). A million up front and a host of...

If your kids are under 16 Nick you can take them to Coventry Rugby for free as long as they are accompanied by an adult, so would need to take the wife as well ;-)

Always brought him on with 5 minutes to go. He would always nearly score. I used to always wonder what if he had been given 15-20 minutes? Strachan used to let other managers change things, watch matches drift away from us and react too late. It used to infuriate me. Liked him as a player...

No they mean nothing to me. I don't care whether they do well or fail. But I won't let them distract me from how poorly our club has been run. I live in the hope someone will turn things round.

How much do Wasps need us? How well has Fisher et al been negotiating (their record isn't good). Yes CCFC is dear to our hearts, but I can't help feeling SISU has parked us in an estuary and let the tide go out. I am more annoyed at people who do things badly rather than people who do things...

I have some sympathy with Tudgay, a clever player who plays for the team and not for himself. On his rare appearances over last couple of seasons he has often scored or looked like scoring. His biggest problem has been lack of opportunity. I am not saying he is the long term solution, he is...

Beavon: about time we had a terrier with energy and not a energized headless chicken like O'Brien. Beavon obviously has skill and can finish and has a footballing brain. Let's hope it the start of many great performances.

That is fair enough Nick a lot of people may have heard a whistle (and it should not be happening and it is no form of protest with any value). But that in itself is not proof it affected the players.. The only ones who can say that are the players. It looked to me like they switched off and...

I think Lamieras was brought on, not to tighten things up but as a counter attacking option and it almost worked twice. As I said on another thread, the last two performances have seen some improvement and brought a little hope. When turning things around you don't always get what you deserve...

Because it if is actually affecting results potentially their jobs...that is why. That is being honest and doesn't alienate the fans at all.

The whistles are a stupid protest. If it influences a game in our favour we will be seen as cheats and loose support from other clubs. If it works against us how stupid is that. Moronic idea.

And Slade doesn't seem shy about opinions

I am totally against the whistles but nothing has come from the manager or players. Surely if it cost us a goal when leading they should mention it.
