People always say this, people said without O’Hare we’d be a relegation team and we finished fifth. Fact is without Vik we’d have someone else and play a different style.
I do agree, but it would depend who we had instead.
Gareth Bale.Hardly any players love a club - it’s nonsense
Matt Le Tissier any others?

There is an element of respect though. My response would be sorry I'm not going to talk about and speculation as it is just that. Similarly when I'm looking to leave a business I sit down with my boss explain why and agree to handle comms as they want to. Its courtesy.Geez, this forum flip-flops in opinion quicker than butter melts in this current heatwave. Before 11am today and it's his agent stirring shit up. And by 5pm, it's all Vik's fault, the Judas wannabe. F' him this way and that. Bin him out of the club. Who's organising the flaming torches and pitchforks ?
Hold that thought.... How much of that Swedish interview was Vik's own words and how much was his agent ? Or the journalist ? Is this magazine/newpaper/website the Swedish version of the Guardian or is it The Sun or CoventryLive ? That "£17mill is too much" is certainly an ideal soundbite worthy of a clickbait title.
Players do this. Dublin did it, Bellamy did. Even McNulty did to an extent.
As much as we wish it, Coventry City is not the best team in the world so players will always want to move on and improve. So thank him for the last 2 1/2 years, allow MR to make the best decision for the club and if Vik goes, think how we'll spend the cash and on whom.
Rant over (and I've just seen Earlsdon's steady response above)
Andy Mutch? He wasn't a winger though, more like a Beardsley-type forward. I think he'd have still scored loads without him though.Even Le Tissier: maybe liked being a big fish in a small pond, brilliant player obvs, but didn't exactly break his neck when playing for England, suggesting he wasn't too arsed about it.
Steve Bull might be another example. Sure he could have got a big money move, but preferred it where he was, with that right-winger - Andy something? - putting it on a plate for him every week.
Very different times. Treat yourself and read "The Damned United" if you haven't read it already: great book. The Shankly one is nowhere near as good.
My favourite of that rabble: Stefano Gioacchini - WikipediaNot forgetting Antonio Caruso either
He's scored 7 less league goals in the 5 years since he left us than he scored during his 1 with us. He sounds happy picking up money and being a flop.Fair to say this didn’t go as expected:
Fair play to him. Quality comebackHe's scored 7 less league goals in the 5 years since he left us than he scored during his 1 with us. He sounds happy picking up money and being a flop.
Still waiting for him to make a footballing comeback of note...Fair play to him. Quality comeback
Why? He ha shown why it's right for a human to make the decision to leaveStill waiting for him to make a footballing comeback of note...

I’d swap a few goals in L1 for moving my family out to LA every day of the week to be fairStill waiting for him to make a footballing comeback of note...
Absolutely. Fair play to him - especially at the level of football he was playing it’s important to maximise earnings and now he’s got himself living in a beautiful part of the worldWhy? He ha shown why it's right for a human to make the decision to leave
Exactly.People always say this, people said without O’Hare we’d be a relegation team and we finished fifth. Fact is without Vik we’d have someone else and play a different style.
So we're far more fluid, unpredictable and incisive when he doesn't play?Vik is a fantastic player, but the truth is we are very one dimensional when he plays, and Hamer has carried us through far too many games.
Not sure about one dimensional a lot of time due to injuries we had to play just Vik as our striker, but agree if he does move on we may have to tweak how we play forward wise.Exactly.
And if we keep him and he does his ACL in pre season, every fucking expert on here will want to know why we didn't cash in when we had the chance.
Probably the same experts who didn't rate him when we signed him.

Crap name Victor anyway and don't get me started on his surname.
I’m sure he wouldn’t admit it publicly, but I’d be surprised if he didn’t regret leaving us straight away. MR has been the only manager to get any output out of him.Fair to say this didn’t go as expected:
Hard to know. He started 44 league games I think this season.So we're far more fluid, unpredictable and incisive when he doesn't play?
Should have dropped him thenHard to know. He started 44 league games I think this season.
Should have dropped him then
Wow, I mean absolutely fucking wow!!!!So we're far more fluid, unpredictable and incisive when he doesn't play?

To be fair McNulty was part of the chain that saw us get to this leagueTorn of McNulty. We needed out of league 2 straight away or we were fucked, he was the main reason we achieved that so for that I thank him. On the other hand he's obviously a complete bellend isn't he.
