I think his appeal is obvious really - people like to see players who shithouse (the Dark Arts!!) and play with fan-level intensity. I just don’t think he currently has the football intelligence or skill to back it up yet.

I don’t think you needed ITK status to know that, just an internet connection! Mike Ashley: Ex-Newcastle United owner takes over CBS Arena, home of Coventry City

I’m all for nurturing prospects, but it is baffling to me that a player of his quality cost us ~£2.5 million, and if someone is willing to pay us that back then we should take it imo

Huh?

Doug King is in no greater position to invest his own money into a new stadium than SISU were. It was a silly idea then and it’s a silly idea now, we don’t have to pretend that threatening to build a new stadium is now some genius chess move just because the team is in better shape on the pitch.

No, it was CWR Coventry City Council has 'no plans' to offer Wasps financial support Seems pretty obvious that Gilbert has a sympathetic source inside the council and I imagine this is where today’s story is from too

It’s not their job to be helpful.

It’s no more sensible than it was when SISU made the same claims multiple times.

Tbf it’s pretty clear that this story has been leaked from someone at the council.

So Wright and Simms only signed because they thought Hamer would stay? It’s nonsense.

There is zero evidence for this

Clickbait is when you deliberately make a headline more vague to entice people to click on it in expectation of a bigger story. This isn’t the case here - the story is pretty transparent. If the story ends up being the most read article on CWR, it’s because it’s a good one.

I haven’t seen any backtracking from him and it’s clearly a newsworthy story. Do you even know what clickbait is?

In what way is it misleading? Gilbert himself said on the radio earlier that the BPA isn’t a feasible option for a new stadium, that’s not what the story is.

I think at the time people were comfortable with a stadium with <20,000 capacity and were hoping we would follow “the Shrewsbury model”…

Yeah I know he’s a journalist etc etc. But didn’t Gilbert basically stop the council from managing to bail out Wasps by publishing a story on it before it happened? Deserves a bit of credit for that surely?

Gilbert about to talk about this on CWR

Can you pay on the gate?

Only if the forum will release another statement in support Coventry City supporters release statement on big stadium news

Whether or not it’s a negotiation strategy, it is objectively Very Funny that we’re back to the club proposing new stadiums at the Butts in order to pressure the owners of the CBS, only for the council to oppose it etc etc. Time truly is a flat circle.
