Grimes. He’s the most influential signing for us in years

Not playing during the snow these days?

Considering they blame Aaron Ramsey for his own broken leg against Shawcross…. This is a tad hypocritical

lot of people adverse to progression. The Premier League and to an extent the Championship has moved on. Its not a bargain basement game these days.

this is exactly how i see it - for me, the way to protect is is banning ownership loans to clubs. Basically stopping owners creating debt owed to themselves. If they wish to invest - it has to be gifted

Problem is there is a need to spend that to try and compete. Football fans are fickle. If Doug started pocketing that he'd soon lose his hero status.

Aren’t they likely to go back to Trafford?

But that’s against CovCityCo isn’t it? Doug and his investors haven’t put that money in. I’ve probably misunderstood you, but as you’ve said the club and arena are worth far more together and he’s about to make a tidy profit should he sell now

To be fair if I recall- Le Fee was class until he got injured and was kind of in and out when he returned.

The argument came up whe. Robins was sacked. Ultimately it’s more cost effective this way. you get the manager to suit the players rather than vice versa. We had a profile we wanted that didn’t suit Robins. ultimately it’s cheaper long term to do it this way. the players are clearly good...

Can’t disagree with the piastri thing. He was miles ahead at one point

I honestly don’t think Norris deals with being the hunted. He struggled against Piastri for most of the season. 1 DNF and Verstappen is back in it

I’m toying with the idea of a cheeky £5 bet on Verstappen - pressure does funny things to people

Isn’t it mortgaged? That’ll be against the club not doug

Fucking hell - I love grimes, but given Henderson has captained Liverpool to win every major trophy would suggest he’s a little bit better

Still the company has got to be worth around double that. I was basing 25m on the losses being roughly about 7m, which we know he’s covering

It also becomes a headache. The amount of money needed to stay there will be ridiculous. At the moment he’s got an asset - club and stadium that he can sell at possibly around £75m - looking at the balance sheet he’s roughly put in £25m he could easily make a significant sum selling now. Of...

I don’t think it’s that simple though. The recruitment team would have placed Grimes top of the list. Robins would have been given a list and selected the players he wants. I don’t doubt that Robins would have been all over Grimes if he was available. The question is - does Grimes throw a...

Id go with this. If we get to January in the top 2 - its on Doug to stick or twist

If we beat Preston I suggest we move the premier league thread out of other football into the Coventry city thread
