Chris Houghton would do a fine job where ever he went tbf. Decent guy, decent manager and gets the best from his players, while on slightly restricted budgets. Reminds me a lot of Mark Robins, but has proved himself time and again.

This is a misguided view. After the recent pandemic compounded even more so. It would need to be a Villa or club of such staure to be tempting and that is highly unlikely as M's has himself been unproven at championship level? I suspect hardly any team in the championship would double or tripple...

MR's has done miracles under trying circumstances since returning. SISU played their part in backing him. Adi Vievash has been integral to MR's, so if one went the other would go too. Bristol City have no pedigree of top level football. Thie gound is old, their support average (two city club -...

Even if the lease was fully asignable the landlord (Council) must approve it and can attach conditions. Those conditions however must be considered reasonable. It's a good point though - is the 250 year lease asignable? Never really gave it much thought before.

Someone suggesting he would earn 10k a week at Forest? I think not. Unproven at Championship level and Villa did not put up much of a fight to keep him? He would be a slightly unknown commodity in the championship and as has been said he did not feature constantly for us in league 1 until late...

according to flag A we got twins.

There will be negotiations on these revenues you speak of. We are a championship side now, bigger crowds, and we are not going to hand over 100% of those revenue streams. Having us there will bring in better sponsors and a string of other advantages for WASP. Try to think outside the box!

Can we dimiss this Walsh love in? We have replaced him already apparently with a 1.2m agreement for Gustav Hamer who arrives for a medical on Monday so say reports.

Wish we could...should never have left. But we are where we are. History is just that, history and we learn from it.

Birmingham have no pedigree of premier League and are the eternal championship club playing in the shaddow of Villa. Currently in all sorts of predicaments too. Coventry regardless of their financial difficulties (which too many make of) are a far better option and prospect. I fully expect a...

Wilson is injury prone, and while he had his moments including a call up for England, I think he would do well to get a promoted club the likes of say Brighton tbh. He may not even get an offer and be staying in the championship.

Wage average is disrupted by relegated clubs and their parachute payments and contract situations. I sense wages for championship players fall somewhere between 300k a year to 1m a year. A majority well under 1m. An few will be on crazy money where owners are pumping in cash to get promoted. A...

Like any business it's how you run it that counts. The premiership is a pot of gold for some, and a reluctant debt wagon for others trying to keep up with the pack. Small clubs like Burnley can't compete with the likes of Man Utd. If they try then they will be riddled in debt. They don't have...

If I was the WASP owner I'd be chasing down CCFC now to find a deal. I'd want their 18-20k average attendees spending at the Ricoh, using the bars, the casino et al. Plus some 500k smackers in rent and other sundry additions. Hell I'd paint the changing rooms Sky Blue. I'd get my stdium...

I am slightly amazed at the respones here. Surely the weaker the opposition is likely to be the better our chances of staying up? While parachute payments make them all able to spend way more on players, the fact is West Ham or Villa would likely be tougher oppo than Bournemouth or Norwich or...

It looks increasingly bad for Villa after today, and their fixture run in looks very tough. While many want them to join us in the championship I'm really hoping they stay up. They would be a stronger side than say Bournemouth, and if they stay up we may have first dibs on O'Hare who I think is...

tbf I was not aiming it with any of that in mind - just merely the goodwill opportunity for all sides was the point I was making. And yes there are plenty of issues to sort, but there is no reason why that can't be done.

...they don't which is why I said it would be good for them.

We will be back at the Ricoh next season. It's as simple as apple pie because it makes even more sense now than ever before. It will be good for WASP, it will be good for Coventry, it will be good for the council, it will be good for the City of Culture......what's not to like?

I said before a ball was kicked and kept up that stance when many on here dismissed it. So yeah....I told you so. You're welcome.
