    Mowbray admits he will have to rely on loans

    Quite, you pay a chunk of wages and can sometimes be called back to parent clubs at short notice too. As someone else says, we need a relatively stable team, a big turnover of trialists and short term loanees is a waste of time and will not succeed.

    Friendliest town or city in England

    Have to agree on that about New York, greed, speed and very brash and in your face. Flew to there after a few days in Indiana where everyone was really nice and completely different. Centres of power like London, New York, Paris etc etc attract highly motivated, dog eat dog, arrogant types who...

    Lack Of Transfer Activity

    You have to remember as well the sooner you sign them the sooner you have to pay them and at the moment that would be for sitting in their gardens. Say we had contracted 6 players on £2500 per week from the beginning of June that would be a tidy £60,000 ?! for the month !

    Very early days, if nothing has happened by this time next month then it's time to be a bit concerned but there could be a rush of captures just before pre season training begins again.

    Friendliest town or city in England

    It's all a bit generalistic I know but I used to deal with folk from all over the country and found that the wealthier the area the more unfriendly and arrogant the people were, the home counties around the capital being the worst. The working classes of the North and the Midlands and in most...

    Tony Mowbray wants to blood youngsters into a winning Coventry City side

    There is blooding youngsters as he implies and then there is throwing them in at the deep end in a physical league as has happened previously ? It's only 10th June it really is, but so far: Chris Stokes not good enough for FGR, Tudguy said something to the tune of 'He'd fallen out of love with...

    update on odds and ends off the pitch

    Can never understand why that rent deal didn't have relegation clauses in it at least. It was too high by about 50% I agree, but still say the club pissed so much money up the wall on poor managers who in turn bought very highly paid dross to the club. The rent could only account for 1/8th of...

    And we think our council doesn't care!

    I've lived round here long enough now me duck to know which ones to avoid in the jittys at night and which ones might buy you a cob and a pint occasionally.

    And we think our council doesn't care!

    My immediate neighbours are a combo of Irish, a Chinese lady, a Greek and even a few Leicester fans mixed in with a healthy smattering of English OAP's...................we're all friends, what's the problem !?

    And we think our council doesn't care!

    Modern day peaceful protest doesn't achieve anything anyway does it ? Who is really going to put their freedom, criminal record, career on the line for no positive results.

    CL final

    The quality in the Barca squad is immense although they have a couple of arrogant twats as well but all fantastic players. They made Juve look very ordinary and Messi is a revelation on the ball.

    Where Will You Drink On Matchday Next Season?

    The pubs and clubs around the Ricoh are generally bloody awful. I'd imagine given a decent service many will now hope to hop on the train from CV1, although I can see trouble with that if they don't increase the number of carriages as normally the service runs with a maximum of 2 I think ?
