I'm not going to go into semantics, but you've missed the point. If you believe we would've been 10 points better off that year without Coleman (and signings like Dann and Fox), with a transfer embargo too. Power to you. Without the takeover in the 2007/08 season, the likelihood is that we...

According to Barry Fry (P'boro Director of Football), they rejected a bid of £500k from Pompey for Godden. So £400k + add-ons doesn't seem plausible at all. Don't get me wrong, it wouldn't surprise me if we structured the £750k in multiple instalments.

Chaplin - £500k Gooden - £750k

Biggest priority is a return to the RICOH. That will boost the resources we can operate with in the transfer market. I think we will sign about 10-12 players. Not all of which being for the 1st team. Key priorities for this transfer market: - 1 CB - 1 LWB - 1 CM - 1 CAM - 1 ST 5 players we...

You talk as if the club wasn’t going downhill before SISU arrived. Bear this in mind: the season SISU took over, we survived on GD alone. Had they not took over, we would have went into admin, leading to a points deduction and invariably, relegation to L1. There’s a reason investors (Alki David...

Would love for us to sign him for a good fee one day, and get 10-20% of the transfer back as the sell-on fee they owe us...

While we're at it, let's sign Carl Baker!

Hope we don't sign him, thought he was rubbish when we played Sunderland...

The issue for O'Hare is first team football. There's a reason he's supposedly rejected numerous contracts from Villa, who look almost certain to be relegated this season. I doubt Villa are low-balling him either.

That would essentially be an elongated return to Step 1. The club wasn't viable before SISU came along (a billionaire walked away from investing) and the club needs to have a secure, commercially viable setup if we are to be able to compete in the Championship. We need either a stake in the...

I'm optimistic and I believe O'Hare may choose stay with us. It is a transfer that makes sense for both him and the club. Admittedly, I said the same about Bright last season, and about G.Thomas the year we got relegated. However, we can offer O'Hare a natural progression in a system and...

I doubt the recruitment policy will change from targeting young players who will develop. If I were Robins, I’d get rid of everyone who I can’t see being a consistent performer in the Championship. If the Hamer transfer goes ahead, and at the reported fee, it is a statement of intent. That...

Or... Robins had a settled club, getting results week in, week out and there wasn't really an opening for Giles.

Makes sense to take his Mrs to Coventry then, as we’re having a honeymoon of our own...

Maddison and Fleck both had a great years!

After we battered 4-1 Wycombe away, I felt we were going to have a good whack at automatic promotion. My mate who was at that game (Wycombe fan) said 'you'll win the league now' after that game. Beating Portsmouth at home, was when I was convinced we'd win the league, they were on incredible...

Let’s not forget that Hyam went from being a 4th choice CB in L2, featuring due to injuries/suspensions, to winning our POTY in League 1, finishing 8th in the process. In the space of one season. Young players develop, Pask has looked good whenever I’ve seen him play. A run in the team could...

Mowbray, without a doubt, has had a career that is far better than Robins. But, a lot of managers just need a good fit with the club they’re at. Numerous managers have left clubs when they’re on a high (e.g. Nathan Jones) and gone to a bigger club, more resources and so on, and have not...

I appreciate Mowbray didn’t have much going for him going into the relegation season. Which begs the question of: why was he chasing Championship quality players under these restrictions? Robins has done well because he’s built a good recruitment team with a strategy. Something he noticed we...

Biamou has some value. But, a starter in the championship? No chance. Gooden is head and shoulders our best striker, and I’d expect us to sign a forward to start ahead of him as the Championship is a huge step up.
