A long time ago but used to love Daley Thompson. Coe was always a posh twat , Ovett weird and Steve Cram just dull. Thompson was down to earth, fun and an immense competitor . He was popular at the time but imagine how he would be nowadays.
Armstrong was idolised by general sports fans and the business community who fall for these charlatans all the time. Those yellow wristbands were fucking everywhere circa 2010. - see also Dyson, Musk, Brewdog Twat and Michelle Mone
Did we really pay E4.5M for Hamer? Where did that come from ?
We used to regularly see our best players go for next to nothing - Cyrus Christie for £111k
With no investment, the Maddison and Wilson money must have been all we had to keep the club going for several years.
Yes indeed. The big lounge at the top which is used for dining has a massive capacity but faces onto the Balcony- which I think was designed as the Uber Prawn seats but no one really wants to sit there. To use this for the club Coventry area you would still have to have people trapse through the...
I’m hoping Lampard has proper 1-1s with all the key players.
He should start with Sheaf and take him for a coffee post training. Ask him what he thinks is working and what isn’t and build the guy up a bit using his experience etc . Needs to be a proper coaching conversation but also a clear...
Aw that’s a shame. Had the Cup Final as a pinnacle of his long career . I really hope Clive gets to see us promoted too.
The Telegraph although not a shadow of itself does seem to have long serving City reporters.
Who was after Foulger? Was it Adam Dent or was there someone in between and then...
It’s old school dignity isn’t it ? like Mowbray or Hodgson. A rare attribute these days.
It’s why Doug’s opening statement was such a shock- and probably why he gambled on Robins not rebutting it . Might be true what King said but very cynical.
Still feel there’s an element of flattery from a lot of fans that a “name” would choose us. Lampard clearly desperate for another chance and unsurprisingly the stumbling block may be personal terms/level of control.
What we need by the sound of things is some stability. We are not a bad squad at...
I remember Dowie was hired partly because he did a presentation in PowerPoint and the Board thought he must have magic powers to be such a tech genius.
It’s funny the manager that eventually got Robins sacked (Warne) is now the longest serving in the Championship.
Not exactly pretty football but he is keeping them collecting points when they were nailed on favourites to go back down and have no money to spend.
It’s almost as if Derby have...
It’s not . Blue tick accounts ( which are usually the worst people in the world) are pushed to the top of replies and mentions so you are not seeing anything like Free Speech.
It’s like only seeing Grendel and Gimoc posts on every topic.
Last night could have been even more enlightening with King in a candid mood initially.
Rob Gurney and Lorna Bailey ruined that with their performative displays of anger. Yes we know you are fans but you are meant to be journalists.
A good journalist would have seen what the real story was now...
