I'm guessing the reason that they've swapped names is because CCFC can't (or won't) offer them any support. It's pretty sad that, from a community point-of-view, but I guess we are where we are financially. My only grumble is that the new Coventry United LFC seem to also want to retain the...

Yep, that's fair enough I'd say. In truth I'm entirely ambivalent about whether he signs or not. Great player for us when he's fit, but no use when he isn't and has a very poor record in that regard. I'd be a bit more impressed if he was training with us to get fit whilst it's all sorted out...

I don't think it's the German. TM said we'd missed out to another L1 club. Nick's returned to the fatherland, iirc.

The Wasps deal wasn't there to be done with the club. I can say this with complete confidence because the Council never made the same offer to the club, or indeed even started an open bidding process for the Ricoh. In fact the council's official, public line was that they would talk about...

Reda's wee is definitely going to be the wrong colour today, I reckon. Perhaps that's why he's stayed away. A bit worrying that two of the main targets that TM has outlined don't appear to be staying - but it's early days yet, and neither Reda nor the German were universally acclaimed in...

This would be great, especially if we could sign his brother James. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamie_O%27Brien_%28footballer%29 "Two Jim O'Briens.... there's only two Jim O'Briens" etc. I'll get me coat. I know a Brian O'Brien from County Clare too. What his parents were thinking I'm...

Bertie Groggins is sh*t, p*ss-poor scoring record, always injured. Can't believe we've signed him. Just thought I'd get there first. ;)

I went on what was (I think) the last pre-season to Ireland. Just after relegation, and just before Hartson left... From memory we played Bray, UCD and one or two others. Always a good place to visit, if this comes off I might try to wangle a trip over. :)

She went to the hotel room with one man, Clayton. He (not the girl) invited Evans to join in via a telephone message. Evans then invited his brother and another man to flim them. The girl was so drunk that she'd already fallen over in front of Evans, and had actually lost her handbag earlier...

I'm guessing the non-footballing reasons were that TM has a limited budget and thinks he can get better value than Barton. I wish the bloke well, personally. There's a decent player in there somewhere, and maybe a new club will bring that out. However I'd trust TM's judgement on this.

Before anyone here gets too confused about what 'consent' means, trouble yourself to read this article. http://selenenelson.co.uk/rapist-ched-evans-issue-consent/ There isn't anywhere near as much doubt as I think some would like to believe here.

Absolutely. Having served your time most definitely does not allow you to follow a career path of your choosing, even if it was your previous career. It doesn't stop you following another line of work, but if you were a professional in the true sense of the word you'd most likely find yourself...

Old news, and not a particularly helpful rumour to restart now I'd say. He's not signing. The Ched Evans twitter account that put this out there the last time was shown to be a fake. Please let's not kick this one off again!

Thanks wingy - well remembered! I stand corrected. :)

It's designed like that to highlight your cleavage mate. Same reason it's a bit short at the back. ;)

I thought it was pens, as in biros, for some reason. Shows how effective shirt sponsorship is I guess! :)

I used to love Top Gear, but it was jaded long before Clarkson hit the self-destruct button. I'm not sure that Evans is the answer, he seems to talk an awful lot about nothing at all, but I guess we'll see. Who he has around him will make or break the programme, I'd say. More cars, less...

Fair play to TM, at least he explains his thinking in the article... http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/sky-blues-boss-tony-mowbray-9457027 Got to trust the bloke, otherwise there's not much point in making him manager. I hope he's right - if nothing else at least...

What, all of them?

Even less from a fitness POV - every manager in the world seems to bang on about 'wait until next year when he's got a full pre-season in him'... I look forward to quoting this again later. ;)
