    21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread

    Why? Dave Boddy more or less said we aren't close to bringing anyone in. As if we were the accounts would've been filed earlier. If fans refuse to take that on board then that's their issue.

    O'Hare

    Obviously that's why they'd sell now. But in the same breath he could potentially go on to have an even better season than he did during the last campaign which would drive up his value up exponentially. Playing it safe also in turn loses them money but due to the model and the pandemic it's...

    O'Hare

    Understandably due to the pandemic finances are tight, but it would be incredibly short sighted by the club if O'Hare is sold now. Bar a long-term injury he's only going to continue to improve.

    Liam Walsh

    Not really. Even the national journalists only really have half an idea of what's going on and that's through years of building up their network and forming long-standing relationships with contacts at both clubs and with agents/agencies. The majority of local journalists such as those on the...

    21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread

    He's not going to be silly enough to reveal his hand, especially when it's currently a buyers market. But at the same time I expect he puts comments out like this to also temper expectations. As I previously mentioned in the thread, I suspect this window is going to be tougher than most for...

    21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread

    We'll undoubtably get players through the door, but I do think it's going to be more difficult this season to bring in our primary transfer targets - something Robins has previously said is tricky even in normal circumstances. Meaning Robins and the backroom staff may have to revert to Plan B, C...

    Matty James

    As talented as he is, it would be negligent of the club to offer him a 3-year deal when his injury record and age are both against him. The financial risk would be too great. So, if that's the case and what you heard is true, I'm not all that disappointed if we miss out.

    Matty James

    I'm sure Robins made a passing comment either during the summer window of the League Two season or in our first season back in League One about the fact that it's often difficult for clubs to bring in their primary targets because of the sheer competitiveness of the window. That issue is...

    Matty James

    James knows full well that a footballer's career is a short one, so it's of no surprise he's testing the waters at a number of clubs to find the best deal. Pity if we lose out, but for as long as our financial model remains in place it's always going to be difficult to sign players of James'...

    Membership / Season Tickets

    It's a difficult one to predict as usually I'd say it's unlikely we'd sell many more ST's following the end of the 'early bird' special, or in this case the Membership package, as the majority of fans who would've wanted a ST would've likely already taken advantage of the discount. However...

    Announcement on Ricoh future today - The Coventry Building Society Arena

    Does it? The tone and wording within Wasps' statement doesn't actually make sense. They make out that the deal agreed for us to return to the stadium is pretty inconsequential when in marketing monetary terms, it's significant. Almost as if they've given CBS a 'two for the price of one deal'...

    Announcement on Ricoh future today - The Coventry Building Society Arena

    From a marketing perspective, the Coventry BS receive far more brand exposure if we're playing at the stadium along with Wasps. Especially in the Championship where we receive far more air time on Sky than when we were in League One. Equally, it's slightly convenient that the deal was agreed...

    So who do we think will be leaving ?

    Unsure Hamer will go. Unless he forces a move due to being unhappy I feel Hamer will only be sold this summer if we receive more than what we paid for him. He's our most expensive player in over 10 years. We're simply just not going to let him go for less than what we paid for him if we can help...

    21/22 Summer transfer mega-thread

    Not advocating that we sign Reach as he's been dreadful this season, but something makes me think that he's going to find it difficult for a club to offer him even half of his currently salary given that he could be part of a relegation side. Equally, you have to bare in mind the current...

    Taxi cancelled for Robins

    Completely respect the effort Robins has put into returning us to the Championship and subsequently keeping us there, but I couldn't disagree more on this point. It's one I've seen peddled numerous times throughout his tenure and it's wholly misguided. Albeit the move to St Andrews was...

    European breakaway league

    Who says it'll be an established name? There's nothing really to stop the ESL from establishing their own streaming service. That way they can keep it in house and maximise profits by cutting out the middle man.

    European breakaway league

    This is what people are failing to comprehend. The 'legacy' fan as they've coined it are now seen as nothing more as a nuisance to the big six. Hence why they want to breed a new 'fan of the future'. Which in layman's terms translates to wholly unpassionate fans who won't oppose any...

    Do you consider us safe?

    No. 5 points from the remaining games should see us through though.
