Reports suggest £10k a week and one of the highest earners ….

Bidwell was defensively solid all season. He was never brilliant as a modern day wing back … the position he has been playing in.

Reid isn’t a left back and Robins nearly sold Bidwell in January so I think we know he won’t be around ….

Outside of Da Silva who are the other 2 left sided full backs ??

By Alan Nixon Coventry City want to bring left back Lee Buchanan home from German football. Mark Robins is keen to do a deal for the defender who joined Werder Bremen from Derby a year ago in a surprise deal. Buchanan has lost his place in the Bremen side, although he did start the last...

He’s got a good track record with us ….

His lack of pace got exposed this season

You are correct it’s pretty rare, but not unheard of.

I understand your point but I’m not sure that’s how the football model works. You agree a playing budget for transfers and salaries. Sometimes it will be more economic to sign better quality free transfers on higher wages than to sign contracted players of the same quality with a fee. The key...

I’d expect us to get £17m for Vik and £8m for Hamer. I think they are both worth more but their contractual situation will dilute what clubs will pay and what we will accept, given the risk associated with them running the contracts down. I think Doug will make 50% available to MR and invest a...

Maybe it’s a done deal and the reason we are playing them in a pre season friendly

Conor Coady would be an incredible loan signing for the Championship. Unrealistic but I sense there will not be a large queue of Premier League clubs wanting him.

No he wasn’t. Which is why Burroughs, Kane, etc all got game time and then we brought BNC in during January.

He was blowing 5 mins after coming on at the weekend. He couldn’t track back.

I think we will and I think we will buy 3 or 4 players for £2m or more

Good. The club needs shaking up …. Commercially we have been almost asleep ….

The 2 most important things that give me encouragement are the fact he has built his businesses on data / evidence based decisions and plans to with Coventry City and that hunkering down to manage your cost base isn’t a strategy that can work in a competitive league. both statements of the...

If we get into the play offs 3 out of next 5 seasons we will mostly be watching winning football. We all want the Premier League but failing that then the next best thing is winning football player attractively.

He said what you would expect him to say …. Parachute payments distort the league, we need more revenue to close the gap, we invested early in his tenure on recruitment and have a plan. For this window. He knows that the government white paper might accelerate the reduction in the financial gaps...

I understand the logic but I think you are over looking that JWE looked very suspect defending. Robins is pragmatic, if it’s a choice between being tighter at the back but less dynamic going forward, history shows he takes the defensive option first.
