    Realistic signings

    Based on yesterday's game Morton looked a fantastic prospect and I wouldn't be averse to trying to bring him in. Am sure one of MR's priorities is to bring in a forward who can challenge or play with Godden, although I suspect he might look for someone with a little more experience. Agreed that...

    Possible Site for the elusive new ground ?

    I really think this is overplayed. The Ricoh is 3 miles from the City Centre, which is hardly the ends of the earth. I know its not HR, and I get that circumstance has meant that the place has never really felt like our own, but the distance argument always seemed like a convenient excuse for...

    Possible Site for the elusive new ground ?

    Despite their occasional bluster on this matter I have still yet to see any evidence that SISU have the slightest intention of building a new stadium, so as far as playing in Cov is concerned it's the Ricoh or nothing. After all it must be 7 or 8 years now since we were first told of their...

    Tom Flanagan

    ffs can you read? No he was that bad, he stood out above the others. I suggest you take a look above at the Sunderland fans views of him. I wonder how many times they've seen him play!!

    Tom Flanagan

    While I accept it's wise to take such views with a pinch of salt some of the Sunderland views on him are interesting. The common theme about his poor distribution makes me find it hard to see him being a MR type player: 'Let him go, he's shite.' 'Please. Take him. Shocking defender.' 'He's...

    Tom Flanagan

    The Sunderland games this season and last .... what about you? I normally pay no attention to the opposition we play unless they are notably good or bad. As soon as this link came out I knew who he was though, and it wasn't because he was the new Franco Baresi!!

    Possible Site for the elusive new ground ?

    Aren't Leicester's rugby and football grounds, similarly close?

    Tom Flanagan

    You have no idea if he is a better option than Pask, Drysdale or even Williams. He has more experience for sure, but that's it. Unless he is being brought in as a starter what's the point of wasting what is likely to be a tight budget on signing him. Young players with promise have to get their...

    Tom Flanagan

    This signing makes no sense at all. We already have Rose, Hyam, McFadzean, Pask, Drysdale and Williams so central defence is unlikely to be a priority for strengthening. He is not a ball playing defender so doesn't fit into the mould of our team, and hasn't exactly shone in games against us in...

    Transfer Rumour Callum O'Hare - Confirmed

    Villa would be stupid not to offer O'Hare a contract, even if they don't want him, otherwise they can't claim a compensation fee for him. The Villa fans I know all believe he has been offered a contract!

    Declan Drysdale

    He looks more of a defender without the girly long hair!

    Looking bad for Villa....who do we want?

    That depends whether you're looking short term or long term. If Villa or West Ham will be tougher games for us they will be for the rest of the league too. Whichever teams come down they have such a huge advantage with parachute payments that they will all be favoured to go straight back up...

    flag Poll

    It has to be the 'legacies forged' one for me as it focuses on all our managers that have won us trophy's. The others that are solely MR focused could look a little silly if MR should leave us, certainly more so than the one which also includes JH/ Sillett & Curtis, which would still have some...

    Looking bad for Villa....who do we want?

    They always cared more than they made out. Granted, given that we haven't played them for 20 years, their younger generations won't get it, but the older ones I know seem to have a very good memory of Cov Villa games from the past, which contradicts the disinterest in us they always claim.

    Records breaking season for kit sales

    With the Black Lives Matter issue being forward in everyone's minds the 2 tone kit takes on even more significance. The cultural heritage of our City's link to 2 tone is something to be proud of, and I would be disappointed if we do not continue with a 2 tone reserve kit into next season and beyond.

    Two very poor teams. Unreal to think we were at that level only 2 years ago.

    Gustavo Hamer - CONFIRMED

    This Hamer story is feeling more and more like a hoax. I don't buy that he's somewhere in the UK, locked in a room for 14 days waiting to sign for us.

    Recruitment team

    Agree on this. Our current team are streets ahead of Mowbray's team in that there are no obvious weak points. Mowbrays team were decent going forward but poor defensively. Goalkeeping was shared between Charles-Cook and Burge, while Ricketts and Stokes were the best of the defenders that played...

    Marosi

    I am glad we got rid of Burge and bought in Marosi. We could not have played in the style we do with Burge in the team, and the defenders in front of him would not have been so confident. That said, I can't bring myself to hate him or hope his career dives like some do on here. He was part of...
