It means you just can’t do things. How many city centre projects have failed in Coventry because the economic circumstances changed from inception to delivery? Belgrade Plaza, Friargate, CCS just off the top of my head. Spent years in pointless planning. Same as that derelict site by the ring...

You keep saying that but it is for us. Unless your contention is that the market increased tenfold over night at the exactly same time we got a windfall. Which seems unlikely.

You’re arguing against some cartoon you’ve got of me. That’s fine. Standard on here. But it’s not my issue. I think the squad is lacking 4-5 key players to be top six. I think we’ve overpaid for some very average players that other clubs managed to get equivalents of for a fraction of the cost...

We’re signings players like Stoke and Hull do basically.

Bassette, Dovin, Torp, BTA I think we overpaid for. None have really held down a place. Dovin and Bassette might come good but are very raw for the money. Need I remind you up until recently these would have been some of our record signings at this level.

The fact you’re off on insults tells me who is swinging here. I can’t be any clearer: we have overpaid for our signings. If you look at other clubs I can’t see how you can disagree.

Someone on Twitter told him it’s 1984 all over again and now he’s angry cos he won’t look out the window.

Absolute hysterical nonsense.

But are they worth £5m a piece? Is Kitching? Are our fringe players worth £2m a time?

The latter is that you say “oh players just cost a lot” but it’s there in black and white that ours cost more than other peoples. No one paid what we did to L1 really. One of our benched signings would be the marquee at most clubs and normally have come from PL another Champ club or a decent...

You really can’t complain that stuff under the current planning system doesn’t work, and imply that stuff before we had it does (TCA only came in post war, most stuff wasn’t built under it), then say we don’t need change.

This is the real issue. We should be building communities not estates. Too many places without even a corner shop. The answer of course is to liberalise planning. People build wherever they can because they can’t build where it’s needed. And government can’t build infrastructure as it’s so...

Other teams seem to manage. Just like other teams seem to find managers and coaches who have immediate impact. Also Rudoni Kitching and EMC are some of the most expensive players ever from L1. We really are an outlier in terms of spend and what we get for it.

This ditsty shit for example. Pathetic attitude that leads to poverty.

At both LB and GK our issue is we’ve got too much dross on long contracts. Wilson and Bidwell might not be first choice to go ability wise but without them freeing up space and wages we likely can’t get what we need in.

When you get told you have to have your quarterly meeting with the manager in person so drive to Leicester only to get a message that your manager is sick and can we do it remotely?

Thing is for the money we’ve paid for some we shouldn’t be waiting over a year for them to “click”. Frankly if you’re dropping more than £3M on a player they should be ready and if not you’ve spent too much.

I mean actually inured keepers already need substituting so I’m not sure how this is different. Nothing stopping teams “targeting” the keeper. Or any other player. Been happening since Pele in 1970.

I’ll be honest im increasingly looking n the belief that the UKs major problem is its filled with people who moan about any action whatsoever on anything. And it’s made us stagnant and poor. I’m at the point where I just want a government to do anything and then at least we can see instead of...

The house builders aren’t cartels. We’ve been through this before. By far the biggest break on competition in housing developers is the planning system with only the big boys having the cash and connections to reliably get things through. It’s not a silver bullet but it is a prerequisite. If...
