    Ellis simms

    He's on loan in Turkey but if both clubs agreed a suitable fee I wonder if they'd recall in Jan and sell him to us.

    Yeah this was largely achieved two-fold. At the time of moving into the Olympic Stadium they had a ridiculously long waiting list into the tens of thousands and they got the pricing strategy completely wrong. STs were less than £300 from memory which for PL football is outrageous.

    Championship thread 25/26!

    I'm not really underestimating them I just think it's a misconception to rate them as highly as you perhaps seem to based on existing form and the personnel they have available. There's also a lot of variables that need to be factored in, which could very much effect where they're likely to...

    Championship thread 25/26!

    Whatever a club generates organically can be counted towards offsetting spending regulations. I really wouldn't take any notice of figures that are touted though, they're speculative nonsense which are baseless. But to answer the hypothetical point it's not really a massive loophole as it...

    True, but in the manner that we've been playing I can understand that. Looking at Leicester's style and the manner at which they're performing in games it's one of those really that I can't particularly see things switching massively, but granted, it's too early in the season to make a proper...

    Rule 101 of marketing, a company that shouts the loudest about being the best, usually isn't.

    Championship thread 25/26!

    I've reiterated this point a few times now but half of their goals so far this season have come from outside the box. Again, against Hull the other night their two shots on target were from outside the box - one of which was a goal. Opposition managers and coaches will undoubtedly have...

    Hmm I've always said I very much debate whether they actually intend on building a 60k capacity stadium. I think a lot of the rhetoric that comes out of Wagner is just pure shock and awe US marketing tactics. There's nothing really tangible behind his claims but the more he shouts that BCFC...

    Will they even then? Based on the stats they looked like they were over performing in the first block of games. Recent form possibly suggests those numbers are starting to come to fruition, albeit it's a small sample pool. There's also the looming points deduction to consider.

    It's not even that. The owner's appetite to spend on transfers has seemingly gone completely... that's the point. They spent a measly £3m on Coulibaly last January despite being in a relegation battle, the most they would've spent this summer just gone is perhaps on loan fees, so what does that...

    I very much doubt they'll spend anything in January. They might bring in a couple more loans. But if anything I can potentially see more outgoings than incomings again.

    Ellis simms

    He's alright. Did OK at QPR. But lets be honest he was about their 5th choice and he's probably not what they need to get them out of this division.

    Ellis simms

    The main issue with Leicester is they have a very lopsided squad. Significant quality in some areas, but seriously lacking in others. There's also the added complication of several players quite clearly not particularly wanting to be there. It'll be interesting to see how they get on. Worth...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Watford FC Match Thread - Saturday 25th Oct

    They're very lopsided as a Starting XI. Quality in some areas and just crap in others. Definitely need to keep Louza quiet, he impressed last season and can dictate a game if he's given half a chance. Irankunda - talented but crap discipline. If I were Kitching I'd be looking to try to get...

    Watford have been pretty ropey away from home so far this season. Hopefully something we can capitalise on.

    Given Stoke have won one game in 6, it might be the ideal time to play them as long as that form continues.

    Match Thread Portsmouth FC - Coventry City Match Thread - Tuesday 21st Oct

    We've beaten QPR 7-1, Millwall 4-0, should've beaten Hull and drew against Leicester - all in the top half of the table. What a ridiculous comment by them. It's absurd not to back us against any side in this division and come away with 3 points.

    Ellis simms

    Reflecting what others have said his all round performances are much improved and he's actually becoming a very important player for us. Realistically Wright will be leading the line for the most part this season but when we come up against a more physical style of opposition Simms definitely...

    It's panic stations by Marinakis. He appointed Ange as he wanted a more forward thinking brand of football but now he thinks the only way to get success is by deploying a similar style of play as what was deployed under Nuno - except with a much worse manager.

    At the rate candidates are rejecting them they might have to circle back to Russell Martin.
