Are you for real?

But by your own posts on this thread you recognise that taking a punt on a player for development has always happened, even under more esteemed owners.It’s pathetic and frankly it’s about time we campaigned to get this idiots who own the club gone
Sheaf isn't just a dm, I suspect he's had as many shots on goal as Shipley this seasonYou think the left side of the three is a DM role? I think it’s clear it’d be better with a CM there. Yeah I think the fact Shipley has come on both games to play there suggests he’d play Shipley there.

Loves it doesn’t heHe’s just being Jonny Opposite again.
I think these deals get round ffp. The Sheaf fee I believe is £750k which could include some or even all his wage which Arsenal cover for a season. Noticed in this transfer window there’s been a lot lot of loans with option to buy deals.It's increasingly common these days due to budget constraints.
Can work for both clubs. If you want to sign a player or they only want the player to move permanently but the budgets don't allow for it, it could make a deal happen that otherwise wouldn't. Similarly the player may not want to go out on loan so an obligation smoothes that out.
I assume it's more to do with wage budgets than transfer fees, as you could surely agree a permanent transfer and say first payment due in a year. Wages I imagine it's harder to get the selling team to cover wages for a year.
To be honest it’s the signs of the times. Or a signing of the times. The owners are a busted flush and have to be forced out while the club is in this league. They are finished and have to go

interesting culpin joined 85 left 87 9 app LG 2 goals scored he scored 200 goals in 300 apperences for Nuneaton Borough. So for City signing him was a punt, if not a very good one. Think it's a matter of budget which the Rochdale kiddie is, but so it is the same with ried as he's untested.Great - bit like Paul Culpin in the day

He's a develoment player isn't he.This player hasn’t been signed for the first team has he. There are many sticks to beat SISU with but this guy isn’t one of them surely?
You can tolerate high risk strategy if occasionally there is a result but there never is and I don’t see how we can have a sustainable future with these owners
Think that's the key we need to be back in cov next season as it affects everything on the pitch. Think with no fans this season it worked in the clubs benefit re operating costs.Appreciate we were at a lower level, which mitigates it to some extent, but it's hard to argue we haven't had success on the pitch the last couple of seasons. In that respect we're on the way up.
Obviously we need to be back in Coventry. That really goes without saying. Maybe we'll be back there next year, let's give it a few weeks and see where we are on that. Maybe we'll get some good news.
On the pitch we may end up this season in better position than when they took over.They are taking us nowhere. It’s 13 years - unlucky for us - they’ve had plenty of rope and it’s going nowhere

Staying at the Ricoh in that stupid rent agreement would of been madness we couldn’t afford it they deserve some credit for where we are now regardless of the fuck ups made previouslyIt’s going back to where they found us but in a much weaker state
Can't find the table for when they took over, sure there's a website that will show that. But the first season they were here, they took over in December, we finished 21st, 1 point ahead of Leicester who were relegated. That was the season of the horrific 4-1 away loss to Charlton on the last day where we needed to win to be sure of staying up.What position were we in when they took us over.

Tim Fisher's one of our most successful chairmen of all time. Him, Robbins, Poynton...
versus when they took over
a) We are still renting a ground (albeit outside of our own city)
b) We are still hovering around 17th in the championship (has been our spiritual place in the league)
c) We have still got owners more interested in their own wealth than of CCFC fortunes
However
1. We are not haemorrhaging money at the rates we were (Which ever view you take)
2. 4th season in a row of improvement (hadnt seen improvement in any season since 05)
3. Players with saleable value
I would argue that although I have hated their approach throughout, we are in a better position than when they took over
Losing far less money but yep not good and dependent on owners loansOur finances will not be good by any measure
Be ok we building a ground soonLosing far less money but yep not good and dependent on owners loans
Think it unlikely for many various reasons but I don’t doubt the owners desire to build a new stadium at all. Just don’t think the money and will is there to make it happenBe ok we building a ground soon

I agree with the ownership of the Ricoh being permanently off the tableKey thing is before we theoretically had a path to stadium ownership or a stake in it which now is permanently off the table with the rugby twats squatting in the ground

Fair and reasonable for me. I think it’s a mixture of ccc wasps and Sisu for me. The one organisation I give no blame is ccfc and the vast majority effected are thousands of ccfc fansYes and I hold SISU mostly responsible for enabling that to happen
I preferred ‘Labo’, ‘Orange Ken’, ‘Text A Sub’ and those characters from the class of 2012.
