Championship - league 1 yo yo club sounds not While a little too enthusiastic about SISU, this is correct imho. It looks like relegation to L2 came as a bit of a shock to them but fortunately coincided with finally finding a manager who could deliver. That enabled them to keep the club on an...

Norwich away Forest at home Watford away

If I put in the word "marginal" the point is completely true. The extra marginal costs of building (and maintaining) space for an extra 6k. We are delusional about the crowds City are likely to attract on a regular basis. If we sell out periodically I doubt if the owners will mind. As the table...

Ignore the £ sign on "18k"

The issue is the extra cost of making it a 24k stadium rather than 18k one, measured against the extra income from the games where the gate exceeds 18k. As Cup games don't do it - we had 15k for Stoke - and there is no guarantee you get a top club at home anyway you are down to local derbies or...

..but how many of the Sunderland fans were still there at half time let along 65 minutes. They are world leaders at leaving before the end

Might not get a choice.

I am just glad that we have had a very good look at a loan - try before buy. That's quite rare

It's plenty big enough for a mid table Championship side. All the caveats only apply if you exclude the Uni. Once you include a substantial, prestigious partner, all those caveats are automatically weakened

Reference the above, I have two pet theories neither of which has a shred of supporting evidence. One is that since relegation to L2, Fisher has been sidelined and Seppala is in charge of the relationship. And it is a direct quote from her that she does not do "losing". The other is utterly...

Just a speculation as to their motives. Trying to see it from what the Uni gets out of it. Maybe both sides are bring cynical

Haven't scrolled through everything so if this is repetitive sorry If our source is right SISU have probably made several approaches to the University In retrospect they are an obvious partner - land / outside CCC area but in 'Coventry' / non-competing usage / scale Promotion may just have...

But the University has been prepared to let it go public.

The greatest Freudian slip of all time

Except he wasn't Walsh, Dabo and Godden at the very least rank above him, As do the three centre backs.

This report slightly concerned me. One interpretation is that he is an out of contract French L 2 player who plays as a conventional right back in a four man defence, with a propensity for being caught out of position either too far forward or too easily drawn away from where he should be...

Oh well, if Robins gets poached by someone, I think the Cowleys would be good candidates to replace him.

Not that simple. I admire your easy confidence

My first thought was "We have to be able to do better than Coleman, Dowie & Thorn" so mid-table. But then thought "...but the division is much tougher now, and last years's promoted teams have struggled" So I scaled back. Then I thought "...but our strength is our back 5 - Robbins Mark 2 has...

Is this a bit like when people sell their houses "with panning permission" for something or other?
