Westwood. Player of the year at least twice in 3 years, not just good for 6 mths. No red cards in that time, either! He's younger and will get better and therefore more valuable, wheras King is the wrong side of 30.

I think he's right, he and Turner would be a great partnership-although I'd love to see McPake back too at some stage. Dunno how likely that is as his injury sounds horrific. Cranie really does deserve a run in his best position, though. If we play the Thorn brand of passing football, his...

There was certainly more than one initial investment planned all along. The idea was to invest and build in each window. RR says that plan changed, obviously against his wishes. THAT is the bit that annoys most about SISU, as we've just gone around the block with no prospect of actually getting...

Didn't it say the optin for a new contract kicks in anyway automatically, as he's played 20 games? I'm happy to keep him, although more as a backup/sub option. A squad is all about different attributes, and his strength and aerial ability give us that. He'll be more of a threat off the bench...

Whilst in theory I hate the coloured boots, they are quite handy for identifying players from a distance! They shouldn't be allowed more than one of any coloured boot on the pitch at one time, though. 'Cos then it gets confusing. Like when Bell & Keogh both played on the right in bright green...

Yes mate, that little bit of perhaps mis-reporting has bugged me throughout. Was it just mis-heard? They said several when pressed over how much it was. Haven't seen or heard 7 or 8m mentioned apart from on here and in a few media bits, but no quotes or attributed source...

We know why Ken has been brought in: he's a SISU puppet! That much is obvious. What 8m was that, I wonder..didn't they just sell Pro Zone? RR refused to say anything on CWR when asked about this. I bet it included the Ryton money too! But I guess one thing they've been clear about is the...

It is worth saying that Brody could not have been any clearer about saying the club wasn't for sale when on CWR with Clive last week. He said something like "I just want to be clear about something I said on Wednesday...when we said the club is not for sale, either in the short-term, or the...

I think that's the team we'll see, but with Bell in the hole and Aron & McIndoe in the deeper roles. Bell can only cause more damage from higher up the pitch-as he showed with the PNE goal-whilst McIndoe looked a good fit in the LCM position when he came on against Watford. Oddly, although...

I fear you are being naive. They are a bunch of shysters. And that is being polite. They are multi-millionaires who claimed they intended to invest to get a payoff through growth (ie promotion.) We all know that plan is over. What did Dulieu say last week? "I tried to convince SISU that it...

He had the over-the-line goal earlier this season too (at Ipswich I think). And must have hit the woodwork more than anyone in this division!

I had a bit of an addiction to it a few years ago, but I've managed to give up now. My fave version was not long after Prem relegation-Davenport and McSheffrey were both awesome youngsters, Bothroyd had Flair 18 and Workrate 4, Giddings was about 16 and grew into the England LB after a few...

Hee hee, I can understand that after Saturday, but we'll probably lose at Derby now! This is Coventry City we're talking about, remember. I'd take our usual 17th place and be happy with it after the last 4 months.

Wot was that with Lennon all about? Telling Harry he "had no energy" 1 minute before they run out? Pleatt and Taylor on R5 were speechless. A rare thing indeed.

Yep, he goes in hard. Maybe why he gets all the knocks-McGrath stylee. The first article in the Telegraph after we signed him was about how a few players had complained that he'd gone in too hard in training! He got 3 goals for us I think last year-never thought I'd praise this guy, but..he...

I thought it was! Reminds me of the terrible pun Jarvis Cocker made at the Reading Festival about not seeing many books about... Back on topic-I thought PNE had a chance of getting out of it, the Brown impact (umm, nice) and half-a-dozen Prem loans had really turned them round. But I still...

I've heard Salako do a few City games, he's always massively pro-City. Good on him, he always got too much stick IMO-if you go through the highlights of the Prem days, the bloke seems to pop up in most. Dion liked his crosses! Dowie maybe off SKY sson, he's beong linked with someone up north...

To tie up both points-Deegan was a cracking lower-Prem quality signing in Football Manager for under 200k a couple of versions back! Just before we signed him, suspiciously enough...Fox and Dann were rubbish in it before we got them, though. Tell your mate he was wrong about Turner-in the old...

That doesn't fit in too well with Leeds and Norwich being where they are, and indeed Leicester last season. Not exactly struggling with the step up. Beckford has struggled, but Moyes preffered to keep him and loan out Yakubu. He has scored a few, and looks to be adjusting. And we could ask where...

Whelan was great, maybe never quite fulfilled his early potential, but a class footballer at the City. Loads of great memories. The Juke finish on Saturday reminded me so much of the way Noel used to just lift it over the encroaching 'keeper. He also speaks very well whenever I hear him...
