    Frank Lampard Rumours

    There will be a period of adjustment I’m sure but you would hope the last 2 months would see us in top 6 form, however given we will be well behind the top 6 by then i think a top 8-10 finish is more realistic.

    Loans conundrum

    It really is. Often that fee is linked to appearances. The more they play the less the club pays on the basis the player is getting the development the club want. I’m not sure where you get your data from but mine is from a current championship CEO. I have no reason to believe he would mislead me.

    Right who's the next manager then?

    Is that an inside snippet @Saddlebrains or just you agree with @Terry Gibson's perm logic ?

    Loans conundrum

    I think that is wishful thinking Cam. The best loans ( young or old ) always come with a loan fee and a % of their salary. The greed of Premier league clubs means than 7 figure loan fees are not unusual. I personally think their is a place for loans but i prefer them with a view to buy...

    Frank Lampard Rumours

    The good news i think is that candidate like Lampard, RVN etc will ensure that it remains a story that the press report on and might help attract good quality candidates. I suspect they knew their ideal short list ahead of the sacking but there will always be new candidates that emerge once the...

    That’s how CEO’s drive transformational change initially whilst in parallel putting in the team that can continue that more independently. I think this is what we are seeing occurring.

    We don’t have an assistant currently, nor any hierarchy amongst the coaches, that wont be the same going forward. That is clear.

    Will we have a new “head coach” in the dugout for the Sheff Utd game?

    It doesn’t actually matter …. The only thing that matters is getting it right

    We are not keeping the existing coaching set up. That is clear. We will have a new head coach who will choose his own Assistant. That assistant will be a high quality proven coach and tactician. The very appointment King wanted Robins to make. Some of the existing coaches will go back to...

    Jesus not this again. Yes he is. All the assets of Coventry City are his, any income that arises from them are is. Whether he then banks that income personally or reinvests it in the club is his decision. Either way it’s his money.

    Was our success due to Robins or was it actually Vivash?

    We were in the top division for a good chunk of that time not lg2 and 1. Therefore using win% is pretty flawed as a comparative measure.

    Im amazed how people have found the change of job title so confusing. Cov Tele writers clearly confused based on their latest article. We are not recruiting a guy to take training we are recruiting the manager, who in modern terminology is referred to as a head coach because they don’t...
