If the club are not doing a Johnson on us, we are well in the bottom quarter of income in the Championship and could be back to about forth lowest budget. Hull have got rich owners now and Sunderland have 30k gates to bump up their revenue. The relegated sides will be awash with money, although...

Disagree with the JCS observation. That is why he was our first choice to sign at LCB and why Sheff Utd were interested and QPR bought him. Class, left footed footballer but may experience injury problems. We will have a list of wants and it will be down to cost and availability. That is why it...

There are loads of cover bands in Coventry who are quite good. You need to list the music you want and a playlist. A good band will tell you what they play and if they are any good will tell you what will work to get the party going. A great band will be able to judge the crowd and really get...

JCS could be a major miss going to a club nearer where he lives and probably getting way more money than we could offer. However, QPR have an unproved new manager so that could go either way. If JCS keeps fit, I think he will be a major loss. Think he has missed quite a lot of games through...

Remember going to see City play Forest at Notts County ground. Can't remember why or the score.

His bad run coincided with the injury he sustained at Blackburn with that dreadful tackle that was a penalty. He was playing through it when really he should have been rested.

Unless he gets injured, Vik will improve and go up in price. He is a beast and that is a rare quality in football now. Defenders hate to play against players who can bully them like Vik can.

Always thought Ustace would make a good manager. Time will tell. Got to be better than Bowyer (if it moves kick it) style of management.

There is hell of a lot of speculation on here presented as insider knowledge. Can't be arsed to check which predictions turn out to be true or false but a lot of insider knowledge turns out to be way off the mark. What is hilarious is that so many people put faith in some posters who clearly...

Seem to remember he was really good for us or am I imagining he was. Anyone leaving the building is sad especially at 58. Gone to that great Scotland squad in the sky.

Too early to call. Depends who will sell and buy and our luck with injuries. MOBO award to me Master of the Bleedin Obvious.

Weaker. We need a first choice left sided centre half and left wing back to compete and rotate with Bidwell.

Can't knock buying development players until you see them. A gamble on both of them that wont cost that much. The Tottenham lad was predicted to do really big things until he had a serious injury. They must feel he is a good buy as we have a lot of right sided wing backs ahead of him. Wigan...

More likely a sell on clause I suspect or a fee if he or the club reach certain agreed targets. He did go for big bucks early in his career.

Didn't see any U23 games. My gut instincts (from what I have read from various sources) which ultimately have no basis in fact are: Eccles looks good but has had fitness problems. Will play games if he can keep fit. Thought Bapaga would be further along now, wait and see. Howley really highly...

Really good news. Was worried when they gave MR a new contract but not AV. Think AV is one of the most important cogs in the Sky Blue Wheel. Also don't mess with AV on the touchline.

Maybe. Be interesting to see if Kompany is the right choice to get them up right away. Dyche I think probably would have got them promoted with a much different approach. Thought Sheff Utd would batter their way up last year but turned out to be more of a cultured footballing side which...

Absolutely agree. However, I read an article where Kompany said something along the lines that they have one year to get back up or they may fall back down the table. Youth is a great strategy for long-term sustainability, but a bit of a gamble for an immediate return to the top flight.

Not sure Burnley betting on youth is the best way to bounce back especially as they will be changing their system with a new manager. Depends how many experienced pros they keep. We have to go down the betting on improving youth route due to our financial constraints. Burnley should have more...

Don't think it would work with individual players. Pure speculation, but it is how I worked in a different industry. Imagine you are an agent or a member of a recruitment team. You look at stats, individual players and assess their worth. Also you look at your competitors and see who is punching...
