Given I’ve offended the coventry treasure and his supporters tell you what let’s do a bet and then not discuss until it’s decided

I’m prepared to wager £100 to charities that he won’t score 10 league goals next season in league 1 or higher - if people think he will bet against me in denominations of £5 or more until it closes.

If he doesn’t those people will pay charities of my choice the amount they bet in return

The one thing i an slightly concerned about here is that people bet and don’t pay (as has happened before) or decide they don’t like my charities. I do and will pay (someone will vouch for that) so if I win I want an e mail with attached proof of payment and failure to produce this I request the individual is banned from the forum.

Anyway take it up and let’s not talk about it again.

@RegTheDonk £20
@Sick Boy £10
@christonabike £5
@Johhny Blue £20
@Marty £20
@Deleted member 5849 a pitiful £5
@Astute £20

(Bets added by @Rich let me know if any issues)

Good to see a man put his money where his mouth is. I’ll take the whole deal (As long as he stays with us for the whole season)

So you think there’s a chance he can score 9 league goals in L1 Grendel?

I'd put a tenner towards this as it's for charity. The charity I paid in our bet sent me a thank you note the next day that was a nice touch.

Not really fair let’s make a maximum of £20 with no caveats - ok?

Don’t bet he’ll score more than 10 though, he’s improved game on game whilst maintaining his incredible work rate, passion & commitment. Top man too!

Put me down for a tenner, when we win you can give some of the money to a local food bank

On thing there needs to be a minimum number of games played.

If he gets injured and only plays say 7 games then the bet is void?

I think he'll score around 10 or so goals if he plays enough games but I won't be taking you up on your bet as it's a negative starting bet and I only like positivity.
Why would you set yourself up for the season hoping for a player to fail, I just don't get it.

Yes if you have a fair cavaet. We are not talking games not played as he is dropped just injuries.

If so yes, if not then no

I’m not. If he succeeds is a price worth paying. It’s only money.

£100 bet taken if cup games allowed. As it would be 10 goals in a season. Very early as we don't even know what other atrikers that will be signed.

Ok I’ll take the 20.
I gave you a hard time this year but truly respect the “money where the mouth is” as there are lots of empty mouths on here.
I’ll pay the the twenty either way if you post
“ OK I was wrong” after the tenth goal

You said £100. I am happy for £100. But 10 goals in a season. He might only be 4th or 5th in line.

The lad doesn't deserve all this! I just hope he doesn't read the forum. It would be a real confidence downer after such a major contribution in the playoffs. Who's to say he can't perform in league one when he's never played in the league? Is there such a huge difference between league one and two anyway? Who knows he could continue to improve and exceed expectations. Robins continues to see something in him and has my absolute faith when selecting a winning team!

We could have a higher amount our side with the condition that if Grendel loses he has to wear a t-shirt dedicated to Andy Thorn

It's only a bit of fun and most on here appreciate and are aware of what else he brings to the side, he won his place back fair and square in the side.

I'll take £20 with you, but needs a minimum of games played, he could do his ACL on the first day of the season.

10 goals min 20 games, big ask for any forward.

Well I’m right or I’m wrong. I lost a bet about Leon Clarke once (and paid) and won a bet on Doyle who I never even rated and didn’t get paid.
