Bellamy was very uncomplimentary about us when describing coming to us from Norwich.

Signing on fees are a big deal even if wages are the same. Leeds sang One greedy bastard to McCallister and we could have done the same to Dublin. I have no problem with players leaving to better themselves or determining who they play for...more money or more chance of trophies. It was the...

My son said him, but I am sure it was someone else, unless the old brain is atrophying.

I happen to know when Heskey went to Liverpool, he was persuaded by Oneal to sign a new contract so Leicester could benefit from a fee for him. A player moving on but helping his home town team. Classy. McCallister should have been offered the same.

Clough was about to sign for the City 100%. Derrick Robbins was worried Clough wanted too much control and pulled out. Clough said at the time, we were a bigger club than Derby. I remember someone rang CWR at the time Wilson was sold saying we had been robbed. Admittedly, at the time I thought...

Completely agree, which was why I qualified the statement, but at the time, anyone would have been way better than Reid.

Also, Robinson using Richardson as a front to buy Derrick Robins shares. He said he would never sell to Robinson as he would destroy the City (not far wrong).

What do you think are the pivotal moments where it all went wrong or right? Not giving Jimmy Hill the contract he wanted (10 years) Not employing Brian Clough as manager - he went to Forest instead. Selling Highfield Road. Sacking Eric Black and employing Peter Reid. Not saying Black would have...

If you read the history books, Coventry have had many illustrious players who missed the legend status as they either played too long ago, Clarrie Bourton, didn’t stay long enough or had a legendary moment. Carr and Hunts special goal and the George Hudson goal arguably the best ever in a sky...

There are legends and there are uber legends like Jimmy Hill. A man who created the Sky Blues and irrevocably changed football for good or ill. He helped to abolish the maximum wage, introduced three points for a win and I think, (but not sure), had a hand in increasing the number of clubs...

Age is a strange one. If you are good enough, you are old enough (McCallum). 25 is young for a keeper but could be too late for a home grown or bought outfield player who cant make the starting 11 (Allen). We got Ohare because he had not broken into the Villa team at his age. Some players mature...

That said, I think Kasta has more chance winning the Eurovision Song Contest representing England than playing for us next season. I really hope someone is digging this out to embarrass me next year.

Miracles sometimes happen, look at Sunderland. If every city fan makes a wish, Kasta could turn into the player we thought he was going to be...and that pig could be flying past the window.

They both have pots on them especially as they were elite athletes. Depends on your definition of fat.

Two defining factors for Walsh 1) Wages 2) Fitness and time to recover from injuries. If he is still the player he was at the end of our L1 loan, it is a no brainer. Probably a gamble worth taking unless we can secure the services of a better player.

I thought someone said Ohare was on 10k a week. I thought we could tempt James with that amount but the wages per player link that was posted on here was scary how low our budget for each player was compared with other Championship clubs. I really hope we get James, but he has to be a gamble...

Appreciate money is the defining factor for how much any club can achieve and in some cases a little bit of luck. How far do you think we can go with the two fat managers and their back up team? Every management team has a ceiling and I would like to think they can take us to the Prem...

Someone oh here said Lincoln had some really good loan players this season. If they dont go up, any likely to interest us. Anyone know?

Just hope Bristol City are not in for him. Someone said action man originally signed him at Leicester.

I sometimes wonder if we buy them as a gamble because they were brilliant youth players ..Kastaneer and Hilssner or Norwich or Wolves recommended Jobello?
