Coventry take over looks on, as Ray Ranson has been spotted at the Hilton in Coventry Cty centre. It looks like the stumbling block is SISU issue of not paying the rent. SISU big wigs Joy Seppela and and Freddie Marks are considering a deal.

Who's Freddie Marks ?

He's only Freddie, off Rod, Jane and Freddie

Interesting to see if anyone says that they say it and it's on!

ajsccfc · Jun 26, 2012

I tested the waters and got this added, but in the 'dodgy rumours' part.

With Coventry's transfer embargo listed, Andy Thorn is looking to get in at least two forwards on free transfers. Top of the list is former Parma striker Enrico Chiesa, who is looking to get back into football after admitting to being bored of retirement and 'catching up with his Sopranos boxset'

Middle ground needed.

Just posted, "First signing is going to be a zippy winger".

Oh there's an added bonus, if the obvious bogus rumour is retold anywhere else. Image getting Twitter agog about a rumoured Zamundan international coming in on loan, we won't have to pay a single Eddie Murphy dollar.

Someone must have posted this:

Heard that Coventry City are about to do a u-turn and welcome back a few former outcasts to the club. Freddie Eastwood, Isaac Osbourne and Stephen O'Halloran all seen today at the Ryton training ground for meeting with Andy Thorn and other Sky Blue management team. Could be a surprise return in store for all 3.

mark82 · Jun 26, 2012

How long does it take for posts to be approved?

ajsccfc · Jun 26, 2012

Seems to be down to chance rather than a regular updating schedule.

mark82 · Jun 26, 2012

Guessing at this time I may have missed the boat for tonight.

mark82 · Jun 26, 2012

Although to be frank if the Vince McMahon buying the club to build an airport got on then anything should.

ajsccfc · Jun 26, 2012

That's the challenge!

stripeyoss · Jun 27, 2012

Like England used to do when bored on international tournaments and talking to the press, I'm going to try and shoehorn in a song lyric into a rumour. I think Michael Jackson.

skybluebeduff · Jun 27, 2012

Coventry City have signed Richard Shaw as assistant manager, and also this week are expected to buy Tom Taiwo from Carlisle

Me, all to easy, sites shit, I don't even know who Tom Taiwo is, just randomly looked at any Carlisle player..

skybluebeduff · Jun 27, 2012

Coventry's Andy Thorn has been looking into the Scottish Lower leagues to help replenish his squad for next season with Derek Lyle an Lewis Coult being chased by the former scout.

Just put this up, wonder if it makes it onto Cov-Mad :jerkit:

Cov are looking at the free transfer market for alternatives as the players they were after signed for other clubs so are gone too soon. it's rumoured that released Freddy Eastwood might be given one more chance in pre-season for a new contract, and there is also talk of a premiership winger from one of the big 4, but it hasn't been confirmed who is it

Like A Comet
Blazing 'Cross The Evening Sky
Gone Too Soon

Like A Rainbow
Fading In The Twinkling Of An Eye
Gone Too Soon

Shiny And Sparkly
And Splendidly Bright
Here One Day...

...Gone one night

The thing is with that site, I doubt they really care if the rumours are true or even remotely true it will be about making money from the adverts.

The more rumours they can get the better, it means more content, that means more people seeing their adverts, that means more people clicking them and then more $$$.

The more people who link back to their site on forums, facebook, twitter etc the better traffic they will get from the search engines.

Personally I think it's clever They must make a good few bob out of it!

I've got Adblock so I'm like a World War 2 saboteur all up in their grill.

Still creating content and getting people on there who won't have it to click

ajsccfc · Jun 27, 2012

Eh, I don't begrudge them their gains. Although giving false hope to the needy is probably in the bible somewhere as a sin, so when armageddon hits they'll be in for it. Locusts, plagues, the works.

As a Dubliner, born to British Parents and raised in Ireland during the troubles I feel the need to comment. Gary Deegan is too young to understand what went on in the seventies. I hear people use that phrase all the time. Wrong yes, do i understand? Yes...........This comment does not mean he is a supporter. It is used by the younger generation without them really knowing the true meaning............ Deegan fall into this, just a kid who put his foot in his mouth before engaging his brian!

Wrong thread?
