    Shankland

    Looking at our overall policy of buying inexpensive to develop and then sell on at hopefully a much higher value, I am somewhat hesitant with Shankland as Scottish strikers do not tend to fare so well in England. Ross McCormack being maybe the main exception, when he went to Aston Villa for...

    Evans must be gutted...when the chairman said that he had got Eccles in, Evans thought it was more cake

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Nissan are of course 43% owned by Renault who are in turn owned 15% by the French Government. Best not tell any Brexiters that their tax money will be going to the French Government!

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I was beginning to think that myself, moreso with regards to the JIT imports area. Won’t help Sunderland much if the tracks are halted with lorries full of equipment to be assembled in Sunderland stuck at one of the Farage Garages

    England v Denmark

    I am seemingly the only one who thinks that Foden is massively overrated. I find it embarrassing listening to BBC commentators practically give themselves some form of self-gratification whenever he touches the ball

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Well, David Davis did clearly state that there would be no downsides and only upsides. Boris Johnson talked about having our cake and eating it, and of course Liam Fox did clearly state that a free trade deal with the EU will be the easiest deal in history.

    Realistic signings

    I’m just going to put a couple of other names out there, based on absolutely no inside information, a look on Wikipedia and no rumours or anything. But how about Mo Besic on loan as a CDM, played over 50 games on loan at Middlesbrough in the Championship, also on loan at Sheffield Utd last...

    Match Thread Mk Dons preseason

    I think that’s Bailey Wright, was on loan at Sunderland from Bristol City at the start of the year but picked up an injury. Good player.

    Match Thread Swindon Town Friendly

    I’m not quite as nervous going into the new season now, with him at rwb if Dabo is still not ready

    A decade of Cov Kits ranked

    I hated that 60s retro style shirt, shown in B. To me it just looked so bland, the blue was too light and the sponsor did not stand out. Was just so boring. But the puma monstrosities with either the line across the chest or the diagonal line with the light blue and sky blue vertical stripes...

    Transfer Rumour Mario Balotelli

    In fairness, people first talked about Joe Cole coming when they thought they had seen some initials on a training top. Turned out is was for Jack Cork. Maybe in about 6 years time we will be seeing Balotelli in the Sky Blue of Coventry.

    New Sponsor. Place your bets

    Can’t see any Council owned organisation having anything to do with CCFC at the moment, plus given how hard the gym and leisure industry have been affected by COVID, they would have very little money to spend on sponsorship. I’d quite like to see The Coventry (Building Society) adorn the shirts...

    Moving Forward - New Stadium Questions

    May I hang out with you both? Whenever I see a ground with separate stands, I can’t help but wonder how many extra fans they might get in were the corners to be filled in

    Moving Forward - New Stadium Questions

    I do take your points on board, however I do sometimes worry if the vision might be slightly sky blue tinted...I know I am guilty of it myself. Do we overestimate the commercial value of a stadium when it comes to our own team playing in it. I cannot think of too many teams in the championship...

    Moving Forward - New Stadium Questions

    On the face of it, possibly. However, if you add in the conferences, summer concerts, hotel, parking for a facility that is already built, compared to a prospective stadium and the years of inconvenience ahead...the difference might not be so significant

    Moving Forward - New Stadium Questions

    I prepare to be mocked for asking this, but might it be possible to ask why this £30m cannot be made as an offer (to a financially desperate entity) to acquire 50% of the RICOH arena and associated revenues arising from it? Just as a caveat, I do hope that we get our own stadium, but for the...
