To be fair he does have amazing hair.

Agree with first bit. The reality is it could have been worse: Bury comes to mind, if Joy had have just binned the aim of getting the club back into some kind of order and turned off the tap and ransomed the golden share or whatever. I don’t think Tim’s idea of a statue is happening anytime...

Past tense? No longer that’s she’s not the owner anymore? The mind boggles.

You might be right with the PL thing and I’d go along with that but for the way the “final 15%” thing unravelled. I think a lot of us thought that SISU retaining 15% was a mechanism for PL pay out and it was all very chummy between King & Joy. King saying that it was hard to work without full...

I bet she’s relieved it’s over. I think at the outset she thought Ray would be running the show. Legal battles take up huge amounts of time and those on top of running a loss making club would no doubt have taken her away from managing her hedge funds and such. I wonder if she’ll kick herself...

Personally I’d like to hear her side of the story. What her initial plans were, where it went wrong, what had Ranson promised, were there other backers that backed out, the legal battles and why, why she appointed Ken, Onye, etc.??? What was the Storey story? There’s loads of unanswered...

Who put 10p in you? What’s your contribution besides sarcasm? Boring. Muted.

The person you mention is actual full weight. Makes me laugh. Anyone with the Avatar of an opinionated tosspot and thinks it cool is……

I think Tavares had that raw pace and trickery and unpredictability that unsettled defenders. Just throwing it out there, but in some ways players that haven’t come through a U.K. academy or youth system do sometimes have that X-factor. It’s almost as though invention and creativity is coached...

I was worried that someone had spotted him with a leg brace for a minute.

They’re a funny bunch on here. There’s a few that just like to be sassholes (you know the type, like to make sarky comments just for the sake of it. My daughter does it but then again she is a 12 year old girl. They post laughing emojis trying to look clever). There’s also a lot of “white...

Trying to think of a butcher/baker Quorn pun and him being a substitute. I’ll chew it over.

You should have shouted louder. It’s your fault we were relegated from the Prem. Don’t let it eat at you though. Don’t keep thinking about what might have been. (Satire)

Meh.

My take on this is that in recent years scouting had become overly reliant on stats and computer reports. There’s a load of ex Cov pros out there who I guess would love to be still involved with the club. Get them scouting. Get them watching local non league and reporting back. All the ex...

Is there any need? Anyway, the point being that Ducros signed for Nuneaton from us in 1999. Ducros got 10 apps in the PL 97/98/99 ish. Our scouts missed a decent 19 year old on our doorstep. What point are you trying to prove here?

Not for one minute am I discrediting Robins, I’d hope he has the final say in these things at the very least. Definitely not suggesting Badlan deserves credit or blame for the success or otherwise of all major signings. Not trying to be contrarian, but I’m sure Mark is very familiar with all...

Max in his late 20’s was good for us in L2 and L1. He scored some important goals and from my view did a decent job. This is at a time when the likes of Walker (I think) saw us as beneath him and turned us down. So, who in L2 would have joined us and done a better job? He’s 32 now and...

As in failed a piss-test or is this a piss-take? He’s a big unit but doesn’t look like a ‘roid guy (you can usually tell straight away by the size of the traps, I see them in the gym but you can also tell which boxers and sprinters. Laugh if you like - it’s just the way it is. Holyfield had...

This is all circular. A couple of years ago I made reference to us following the “Brentford Model” - where we buy decent prospects in their early 20’s and develop. I got called out and referred people to a Dave Boddy podcast on the subject. Anyhoo Gyok, O’Hare, Sheaf, Hamer fit the model...
