He goes to Norwich, we get Cantwell based on his link to our ex-manager Noel. Simple.

well tbf he was released by Birmingham and is a lifelong Cov fan.

he really is the new John Fleck

wasnt Earnshaw the original “spotted filling up his Bentley at the Tesco garage by The Ricoh”?

Andreas Lund was going to be Dublin’s replacement. Instead we got Darren Jackson on loan from Hibs. bit like when we failed to sign Chris Marsden after a brilliant loan spell, choosing instead to bring in Sandy Robertson

The Savage story was never true apparently, but Lennon had agreed a move to us only the back out the next morning. Trezequet was apparently true as was the story that Strachan turned down a Dutch striker called Ruud van Nistelrooy becaause he thought £3m too steep a price for an unproven foreigner.

Breen was listed by fifa as unattached after seeing out his contract. He joined West Ham after the tournament. Even though it seldom worked for him at City you could tell that Moldovan was a class striker and an instinctive finisher. Let’s not mention Bramhall Lane but remember Villa Park. To...

Yep Moldovan scored with an excellent finish as Romania beat England in the group game. He remains the only Cov player to score at a World Cup tournament. Two years later (although obvs no longer with us) he was brought down for the decisive penalty by Phil Neville as Romania knocked England...

Birch all didn’t sign for us until after the tournament. Bit like Paul Hall and Robert Jarni who joined us after France’98. 1998 World Cup finals a City player scored against England.

Unusually firm clarification from the CT on the Aneke rumour https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/transfer-news/coventry-city-transfers-chucks-aneke-20792545

perhaps they ought to wait until the fixtures are announced at least?

having read that Interview I can’t see that he thinks he’s coming back here.

Bringing in Jim Smith as the assistant manager Roland Nilssen didn’t need. He signed Paul Trollope and Horacio Carbonari and literally organised fights between players in training.

bailey cargill and Ryan Haynes. Chris Stokes not playing

did you get the stat from Comms today that *all* of his goals have come from first touch finishes - headers or meeting crosses. That’s not a bad skill to have but suggests a flaw in his game if he can’t control it first. they’re crying out for a clinical finisher - some like Will Grigg perhaps?

See. However, It’s still not over. Can Lincoln be as bad in second half?

I’m sure Liam Walsh will have options. For instance, Lee Johnson was the Bristol City manager that loaned Walsh to us but always saw him as integral to the development of that team. Walsh’s injury and Johnson’s sacking meant it never worked out - and I’ve no idea if the two are particularly...

Regardless of the hospital pass back from Flanagan it was definitely a keeper error. That said he made a couple of decent to good saves beforehand. The tie isn’t over yet, esp if Sunderland score early on Saturday.

No only does he always get mentioned but he’s played us off against teams offering more money twice now - Swindon for which he might be forgiven given our state of uncertainty under Thorne) and Luton. Always has it put about that he’s love to join his boyhood team only to follow the money. I...

https://www.birminghammail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/callum-ohare-aston-villa-coventry-18500072 This is where I got it from. You’re right that they didn’t have an option but Suggests that they didn’t offer him a new contract which would have guaranteed a compensation fee.
