Are we back at the Ricoh? Whole article from the headlines to the main text say he’s signed a 3 year deal at the Ricoh.

That’s a pretty odd mistake to make...

A pretty standard mistake to make.

I’ve just had a look at the journos profile and article history - he looks like a generic company employed sports writer who would have been drafted in on someone’s day off; minimal knowledge about the club I guess.

I commented about it on the CoventryLive app and he’s changed it already, also took out the bit about it being a ‘long process’ or however he worded it

I stand corrected, that was on THE OTHER article about exactly the same story!

Seems odd that the club would put him up at the Ricoh if it’s the last he’s likely to see of it for the rest of his contract though...

Trying not to read too much into it, but THIS MEANS WE ARE BACK AT THE RICOH!!!!*

Like when Villa signed Peter Crouch, and Graeme Taylor had him put up in the nicest room of a golf club hotel, once he’d signed the dotted line they immediately downgraded him to another room.

Hopefully the players know something we don’t, I can’t see how we won’t be back there

Looks like him and his agent were staying there in May, could be that it was one of the only hotels open at that time?

A mate has just seen the Ricoh driving down the A45 and turning onto Leamington Road so make of that what you will.

That's not Julien's post. I've found the original pic on Insta. It's his agents'

Julien is the guy in the orange top, his agent is in the middle and the guy on the right is another agent.

Hopefully we've done a deal and the club will announce it the same day season tickets go on sale.

I think if we had struck a deal to return to the Ricoh the CT would be the last to know.

Weird that he was staying at the Ricoh hotel though, yeah there might be fuck all in it but wouldn’t the club sort out where he was staying and that? Just seems abit odd

Pretty sure Kastaneer and Jobello had pics in/at Ricoh on or shortly before signing when it was more than likely we wouldn't be playing there.....(although not officially announced)
Probably wouldn't read too much into it.

The picture is of DaCosta's agent looking out over the Ricoh, not the player.

I’m surprised you had the time to look? Drive thru service slowing down?

Right, someone let his agent know and record his hilarious face.
