Born in Cov (at the Walsgrave naturally) lived in Wyken till the age of 6 when Dad was headhunted from Alvis to go and work at Austin-Rover as it was then so we moved to Worcestershire. Post-university I moved north but all my family are from Cov as is my wife and her family so we frequently go...

Cheers for the support LOFC1978. Don't share your optimism though, Moussa, Clarke, Baker and Murphy will likely be sold before much longer.

I really wish I could be there but an inconsiderate family member has scheduled their kids christening on the same day and I cant get out of it :(

Im not so sure, I wouldn't trade Wilson or Leon for Eastwood of Morrison, or Baker for McIndoe or Clingan.

How many from that line up would you have back in the city squad given the chance? Westwood, Cranie, Best, Gunnar?

Thats a good point, if we own their registration but don't register them in our squad can we still loan them out or sell them? Or does it effectively make them free agents (except of course we cant just show them the door)

So offer a 12 month deal with a 12 month extension option, or a 2 year contract at most. No justification for a 3 year deal when the player in question was so untested. I expect he is earning a decent wage too.

Which is why I firmly believe its all some kind of massive tax dodge/money laundering scam.

Really? I was sure Mifsud scored at least one hat trick in his early appearances?

We would be better off paying up whatevers left on his contract in full and showing him the door, at least we could bring someone else in then. Utter madness that an unproven player like that was given a 3 year contract.

Bell was under contract and on a big wage so presumably we can bring in a replacement for him

No, but take a look at the bench, Daniels is our only other striker and so far he's not managed to get on the pitch. If anything happens to Wilson or god forbid clarke................. gonna need another body, even if it is Manset.

I imagine Hoofroyd will sign most of them for Northampton............... cobblers!......... no really.............

Thats the worry. I think Manset can do a job and takes some of the pressure off Calum Wilson but we really need Leon to stay as well.

it will be Manset I would expect. Just hope a centre half or two follow him in quickly! That Scottish centre half trialist we had in pre-season looked ok, Craig something was it?

Unfortunatley i cant get on twitter from the works computer and the app on the phone wont allow you to read stuff unless you log in............

is this another les reid tweet? I think i might have to relent and get a twitter account.........

Thats another very valid point. The hotel as well, im guessing it will see a downturn in footfall.

it wouldn't be without precedent though, Pompey flouted the League rules for much of the last 2 seasons and got away with it

SISU were paying the matchday costs, not ACL so thats not relevant. I think the crux of the problem is that the revenues from football paid the basic costs of the stadium so that the profits from concerts and other events went straight in the coffers. Now they are going to have to stage far more...
