    Summer Transfer Window

    Everyone posting has recognised the gulf between the PL & Championship, which appears to be widening year on year. The reason? Obviously, the financial disparity between promoted clubs and the 17 PL clubs that now seem to be cemented into the PL. If every season all or two of the promoted...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Sunderland Match Thread - Saturday 15th Mar

    Playing a high line against Sunderland is a risk, as they have some very quick forwards.

    Summer Transfer Window

    If we are still in the Championship my priority would be for a LB, CB & RB, plus a back up right winger. If we are in the PL, then 2 x CB's, 1 x RB, 2 x LB's, AM, RW & CF.

    I noticed BTA sitting after Bobbys goal and at full time. I wondered if he had an injury? It’ll be interesting to see if he makes the squad tonight

    Otis - you must have missed a lot of the 12.30 ko games! 🤣

    The winner

    It’s a shame you missed out on this experience. Personally, I’m so tight with money. I always want my full value for my season ticket, so I’ve never left early.

    Court cases

    How many houses could that plot accommodate? Only asking for a not very friendly property speculator. 😉

    Court cases

    The current F&PP test consists of: 1. Prove you’ve got funds? …. Having said that SISU and funds could prove an issue. 2. Have you got any unspent criminal convictions? It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out. Im staggered that Seppela is contemplating getting involved in football again.

    Ipswich player ratings

    Lampard has the team playing with a high line, which leaves us vulnerable to offensive runs from deep with long balls. We have monopolised the recruitment of slow central defenders, who have the turning circle of an articulated lorry. Which makes Lampard's decision to play with a high defensive...

    Next 5 and v last 2 years

    Agree....let's hope we continue to evolve. Those two games will gives us a good indication of what stage of development we are in comparison.

    Next 5 and v last 2 years

    From the next few games, tonight against Leeds is tough and QPR will be hard. QPR are in a rich vein of form currently.

    Josh Eccles

    If his motivation was to shoot, he was putting himself ahead of the needs of the team....when we needed game management, shows a lack of discipline.

    Transfer Rumour New signing pending - Rabbi Matondo

    Roy Barry ...he was a tough centre half.

    Mike Ashley rumours

    In respect to Mike Ashley. I reckon the only reasons why he’d want to buy the club would be: 1. He’s bored and wants a football club as a distraction. 2. He would use the club to offset against his tax bill 3. He’s big mates with Lampard. Finally, anyone estimating his wealth needs to be able to...

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    Some of us are old enough to remember seasons in the old Div 1, when we were top half of the table at Christmas. Then going on a winless run until April and end up requiring to win our last few matches to stay up. So, whilst I recognise the odds.....we do have a history of almost achieving...

    The £6m is the initial working capital, not the company valuation

    Transfer Rumour January transfer window

    IMO the £60,500 000 debt is a paper one and just the validation of CCFC when SISU transferred the club to DK. Im guessing this is not amount DK paid. In terms of investment into the club, there is a high correlation between clubs losing £30m+ pa in the season they get promoted to the PL...
