He’s also invested in the training facilities and the quality of the CBS pitch. These things matter to players.

I doubt the players give 2 hoots about Doug. He pays them on time and in full, and he’s made money available to Austin and Robins to improve the team. Whether they have done that well or not isn’t really something that players would blame the owner for.

No it’s saying i want to play at a higher level and my agent tells me there are clubs at a higher level that want me and will pay me much more money if i go there. We may not like it but it’s the way football works and we pay Austin to find players who are happy at their current clubs and...

Depends on who we invest this money in ….

So let’s assume Mark and Adi did fall out. let’s also assume that Mark did decide he didn’t want to work with Adi any more. King has 3 options: 1) try to persuade them both to repair the relationship 2) back the manager at Adi’s expense 3) back Adi at Marks expense We are told he tried...

King tried to persuade Mark to chaage his mind. That’s hardly endorsing the decision is it.

Take Hamer and big Vik. They average 2 years at a club before they move on. I have no doubt at all that Hamer would have moved in the summer if another premier league club had offered the right deal, and Vik will move in the summer. it’s not personal, it’s not about Coventry, it’s the modern...

This isn’t 1994.

We thought we could do better …. We certainly don’t need players for the sake of it.

Sounds like modern football to me. We are very happy to tempt players to leave their existing clubs to join us. Not sure why players leaving us is any different.

Most managers are happy to have loans and Robins was no different. We were also skint so he didn’t have much choice !

It’s obvious and natural. We can only present ourselves as a stepping stone opportunity for players. I don’t have any issue with those players then wanting to make that next step. That was the deal they were sold. Whilst I understood Robins end of season comments on wanting players here for...

Of course it has. who do you think appointed Prime Ministers and Presidents in the past ? The general public ? No it was traditional media barons like Rupert Murdoch.

Anyway back to this signing ……

This is just normal transfer business. Clubs have 2 or 3 players they are keeping warm at the same time to try and ensure they land one. You can’t put all your eggs in one basket. In return players have 2 or 3 clubs their agents are keeping warm to ensure they get the best move for them. some...

That actually reads like a high hit rate to be fair. I think it feels less than that because of the high profile failures in defence and the fact that young players are less consistent.

I think you could add Simms to that last season, and maybe EMC and Bassette over time. None of us know about Raphael.

😂

We don’t know that yet do we ?? If we announce a new right winger tomorrow does that make him wrong ???

Bellamy did more to get us relegated than almost any other player. Couldn’t finish for toffee that season. Hughes was a bang average footballer, awful touch, the less said about him the better …..
