See I reckon that he’s maybe an 8 or a 9

I would spend the money on a new CB or CM five or six times over before I even considered yet another new keeper. The addiction needs to stop!

How many more GKs do we need?!

Whether it’s sexism or some other reason, I don’t know or especially care. But people fretting about the holiday schedule of the club’s chief nutritionist and suggesting they have some major significance on our current league position is clearly deranged.

Not for me to say, but anecdotally the people I know who are devout/attend mosque regularly etc would find this law repugnant. Clearly the law itself is controversial even within Iraq itself.

Also, before anyone gets upset about me trying to talk about Muslims in human terms - this age of consent law in Iraq is really bad, and the people behind it are also very bad.

My reply wasn’t meant to be provocative either! If the question is “can you be anything other than hardline Islamist” then the answer is quite obviously yes - “hardline Islamist” is a pretty extreme position If the question is “can you be a casual/nominal Muslim without regularly doing...

It would be insanely reckless to make a false accusation against Robins like that in a public forum if you thought there was any chance someone could prove you were lying.

You’ve honestly never met a non-hardline Muslim? Yeah there are loads of them

Double deck?

There’s not much difference between Boateng and Keane in terms of experience really. I don’t know how anyone in our shoes could make a solid assessment about either of their abilities as a coach.

I think this is the first time that a manager from the Israeli Premier League has been on anyone’s radar. No other reason for it other than late 90s nostalgia.

Would 1000 people bet that kind of money on the new Coventry manager without having some kind of insight or knowledge of the situation?

Anyone with less than a couple of seasons’ experience as a manager is a huge risk, especially if they don’t have any coaching experience at a high level. I don’t think anyone would be suggesting Keane if he hadn’t played for us before, and I don’t think sentiment should play that much into our...

Of course it does, and I agree our xG stats suggest there are better performances likely ahead. But there is no guarantee of it coming to pass and the first 15 games have put us at a huge disadvantage. A one-point gap is much easier to close than an 8-point one, and whether that’s for a team...

I don’t think the squad needs ripping up but I think we can all see that changes are needed, and any new manager will expect to be able to bring in new players. We effectively finished mid-table last year and I seem to recall quite a lot of hope about this current season. If a new manager comes...

There are ten teams outside the top six in this supposedly weak division who are currently in an even more advantageous position. What makes you so convinced they are all likely to underachieve for the rest of the season as we turn things round en route to the playoffs?

You get a new manager in now and give them the rest of the season and two transfer windows to remake the squad and the playing style. You then remove any excuses for a slow start at the beginning of next season, with the goal of properly going for it in 25/26.

I think if a new manager can come in and bed in a style of football that makes the most of the squad’s talent and has us consistently performing at a level that would get us into the playoffs on a full-season basis, then that would be a marked improvement over the past 12 months, even if it...

As others have said, it would take automatic promotion form to guarantee a playoff spot from here - would be lovely if a new manager can come straight in and do that, but as a “bare minimum”?
