I think we had the option to extend his contract by a year. Which we did.

Is it Andrei Schevchenko?

Only if he’s carrying Conor Chaplin on his shoulders.

Big Phil and Roman Pavlyuchenko up front. Case solved.

Just like every other thread then.

Terrific. We stayed in a villa about 20 min walk from srebreno bay and had an evening in cavtat. I’m desperate to go back. It wasn’t too bad in Dubrovnik when we were there but I understand you can forget about it if the cruise ships are in. I thought the city walls were great...albeit knackering!

Stayed just near Dubrovnik in May. Really relaxing. Did you make it to the bay of abandoned hotels?

I don’t know if this counts but as a teenager in the early 90s I used to enjoy the Monty Python sketch with the communist leaders being asked the trick question, ‘what year did coventry City win the fa cup’? Funny but out of date!

I’ve had that.

Tbf he said “he’s one reason”.

I don’t think city fans are unique in voicing ‘half glass empty’ opinions. For most football fans their experiences of being a supporter are long periods of frustration and disappointment, interspersed with moments of ecstasy. I really don’t think we’re even unique in being a bit gloomy about...

Governmac, are you roman pavlyuchenko?

Have they? My understanding is that season tickets are down. However, I pretty much agree. Their owner, while saying he isn’t going to plough lots of money into the club, clearly wants them to challenge and has the resources to make this happen. Plus they own their own ground, get big gates etc.

That’s brilliant!

Grimmer’s playing at centre half? Blimey. I should have clarified, getting a new keeper in was on the basis of getting rid of o’brien. You’re definitely right about a new forward being the focus. There’s still business to be done...

I think it’s believed we need another centre half because we may play 3 at the back. I think Robins/any manager will try and improve all positions. This may prove tricky in trying to improve on mcnulty but certainly getting a keeper to offer genuine competition to burge can only be a good...

Is that a euphemism?
