    Championship thread 25/26!

    That's how it looked before the season started. The problem (for them) is they're like everyone else and no consistency. All we have to do is continue picking up the points and leave the rest of them to battle it out.

    Match Thread Coventry City - Ipswich Town Match Thread - Monday 29th Dec

    We look a stronger side than them. If Brau is OK I can see them struggling to make decent chances.

    The bitterness...

    The post mortem on why we only scored twice away to Manchester City will be fun.

    The bitterness...

    Not surprising considering our club was a mess for most of this century so far.

    Gus Hamer

    I'm not for Hamer coming back but not against the idea either. It would totally depend on which Hamer you get. The one like with us where he was shaped into a very good player, or there's the one constantly played out of position and isn't happy. If he came back with his spark for playing for...

    Sign Bamford!

    It's not been good losing BTA for so long especially with the run of games we've had but we've managed to cope and continue getting the results. But it's going to end up being a big bonus for us. Just as most players will start to feel the pace of a long, hard season BTA will come back fully...

    Oh no not Accrington Stanley. Had to find them on a map. Looked at them for 6 points. They did the double over us 😂

    There's some right confident people out there but this takes the biscuit calling it over in December 😉 😜

    For any remaining non-believers

    ....if we go on a bad run. Finished your sentence for you. 51 points at the halfway point. Everyone else struggling for consistency. Middlesbrough are doing well and are on course for 86 points. The rest all have problems. Ipswich have been poor away recently with just 2 points from their...

    How much will we spend in the summer?

    You get approximately 100m TV rights. This is to cover new signings and a massive wage bill. If you go straight back down you get about 40m year 1 and 30m year 2 to help with the wages. This can change a bit.

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    Any side looking like staying up would look a better offer. But he has his whole career ahead of him. He will know all about Lampard. He knows he would play with us. If we could offer a similar wage?

    How much will we spend in the summer?

    I called a hard season for Southampton until they got rid of Will Still. A few of those saying I didn't have a clue are now wanting to spend a lot more money than we will receive. Luton? 🤣 I expected Ipswich to be 1st. They will be happy in 2nd behind us.

    25/26 January Transfer Window

    Depends where they are. Join a side that's a relegation candidate or join a side going up that's been breaking records along the way. Help them to be even stronger. Have 6 months of getting used to the other players before the serious stuff starts. Playing for an ex world class player that will...

    How much will we spend in the summer?

    So us keeping our best players and adding 80m of talent would leave us in a bad place in the Championship? Having a bit more money for further improvement? Being one of them sides you know are going straight back up. Or do what Sheffield United and Leicester have done. Spent a lot and no money...

    How much will we spend in the summer?

    Once they start to gamble yes. That's what's done Sheffield United and Leicester. Run out of money with players on big contracts.

    How much will we spend in the summer?

    If we came back down with the best of our players plus another 80m of talent on top and more money to spend. If any players are sold it would be for big money. That's how the solid yo-yo clubs are built.

    How much will we spend in the summer?

    At least. 70m to 80m would be enough if you go to the right places. Maybe sign a star player (for us) and build around what we have. There will be a few available on a free, normally older experienced players. Get a couple of decent ones from here and we're laughing.

    How much will we spend in the summer?

    Of course increased chance of staying up. That's not staying up. If you fail you have a season to go up otherwise you're against 3 new sides with more money. Spend what we can afford. A couple of quality signings would make a big difference. We don't need stars all over the pitch to survive...

    Match Thread Coventry City - Swansea City Match Thread - Friday 26th Dec

    We have more fit defenders than any other position. With not knowing who is fit 3 x CB with JDS replacement and MVE on the wing being given freedom to roam. Extra cover on the left when needed and our defenders love going forward. Would prefer our better players to be fit though.
