He is a fro from the past
He is a fro from the pastYou could never pass his hair style as a Brazilian.
Yeah, but I'm not happy with two trips to Wembley, two trophies and promotion.Left back is a position we universally agreed needed to be addressed, and Robins has delivered.
Shrewsbury fans are disappointed to see Brown go.
He’s an attacking full back, so perfect balance between him and the more defensively minded Stokes, which allows adaptability depending on the opposition/tactics MR wants to employ.
And overall, we’ve now signed two (three including Westbrooke) exciting players, and we’re only a week into June.
For the second consecutive pre season, it’s an exciting time to be a Coventry fan.
Anyone else worried we're seriously lacking height in the team. Surely that is an issue that needs to be addressed from last season as how many times did we get bullied off the park?

Apparently we offered bigger wages than other clubs.
All good
Lies!
Sisu only take money out of the club!
not enough to stop us getting promoted
we need to end this obsession with being a pub team just because we are lower league
Early bird extended.
Twp trophies in two years.
Promotion.
Best manager we've had in years.
Great club/fans connection. Best in a LONG time.
Early, solid transfer dealings.
Early June and we've sold more ST than last hear.
Strong academy players coming good.
Large Maddison sell on clause likely.
Bit of praise for the board or....
Don't think the board should take any credit for any of those? It's the people on the ground doing the graft who should be praised from it.
not saying it isnt, but too much is made of it on here, we got promoted without a big fuck off centre forward after allWhat on earth are you on about. Having height in the team doesn't automatically equate to a side being a pub team. Every manager from Premier League down to Non-League realises physicality is required in their side.
Not sure if you're being sarcastic....
SISU putting the money in and bringing the right people in...
I'm not sure if you are taking the piss. I very much doubt Joy has rocked up at Ryton with a wedge of cash for Robins to spend.
The owners aren't the ones who should be getting credit, it's pretty much everybody below them who should be. From the people behind the social media to the people like Boddy and Tynan Scope who are trying to increase revenue and doing events and offers.
Not sure if you are on a wind up?
Hmm.Definitely not taking the piss Nick...
Peoples wages need paying, transfers authorized and so on. Who employed Boddy?
No load of cash at Ryton but when the staff are employed...who employs them? What does it say on their wage slip?
How does it feel to take years of flack for being a sisu apologist when in fact you're just supporting CCFC but now people are giving undue credit to sisu you're accused on not being fair to them?I'm not sure if you are taking the piss.

What do you think the money from tickets, wembley trips etc goes on?
Not sure what point you are trying to make? It's the people on the ground day in, day out.
It isn't Joy or Dermot coughing up the cash to cover it all.
not saying it isnt, but too much is made of it on here, we got promoted without a big fuck off centre forward after all
if we get a strong guy in fair play, but lets hope its because hes got bite in challanege rather than cos hes tall
vincente didnt offer us much physicality after all
But they could just keep all of the money for themselves from the tickets and Wembley and say "fuck you" to all on the ground couldn't they? But they haven't...they've reinvested it. Therefore...credit where it's due.
I'm not sure I understand the logic of "SISU out" when everything is going wrong it's heir fault but when we are on an upturn in fortunes it's nothing to do with them?
You citied Boddy as one of the key factors in this current run...who employed him?
board and people on ground level all play their part. sisu could easily sack boddy and repalce with someone incompetent, they could raise season tickets by 150 quid and annoy fanbase, they could have not got robins in, they could have said no to all his targets, they could have refused to change up recruitment, they could have not truck a long term academy deal etc
now im not saying sisu and the board are amazing all of a sudden but purple is right, they are currently doing a good job(alongside all the staff that implement the changes below them) and thats a great thing for ccfc
That's because someone conjured him up out of origami.not saying it isnt, but too much is made of it on here, we got promoted without a big fuck off centre forward after all
if we get a strong guy in fair play, but lets hope its because hes got bite in challanege rather than cos hes tall

this what im sayingWhy would they sack Boddy?
Don't you think it is people like Boddy who work out the Season Ticket pricing rather than Joy and Dermot at SISU? Don't you think it is people like Richard Stevens who work with the Higgs to get better deals?
It is more like Robins has come in and seemingly taken over a bit of control within CCFC (let's not forget that Mowbray also did this and Venus was his sidekick to it) and along with Boddy and others has started trying to get the best out of CCFC whether it is putting on evening with events or just trying to generate as many fans to come to games as possible. Robins has been driving at that since he came back in and you can see he has driven that into the players who all buy into i
this what im saying
they could make monumental fuck ups like sacking boddy,but instead right now the big decisions are on point. and this leads to everything below them being right
boddy might set st prices but he has to get the OK first i would imagine, and if he doesnt have to then his numbers will be scrutinised at some point.
they could say robins you stick to managing and nothing else too as an example
i guess its a question of does being run as a self sufficient business mean fisher and joy have no input whatsoever or not. i find it hard to believe that they dont, why turn up to wembley if its just a business being run that you have no interest in?
in any case, all surrounding ccfc are doing well at the minute. whos truly involved or not i am not sure we can confirm on a message board.
you use the "its as if" line alot to rubbish peoples posts, i request you dont do that in this case please.Fisher is the chairman so of course he will have input.
It's as if people are saying they should get credit for not going out of their way to ruin CCFC. If they see Boddy and Robins are doing well they will be quite happy with that.
I'm not giving them praise now because people internally have done well, the same as I can see when it is people internally (managers or players) who mess up and don't just shout SISU all the time.
you use the "its as if" line alot to rubbish peoples posts, i request you dont do that in this case please.
i think everyone here can assure you not giving sisu praise for not being fuck ups, its just nice to see club doing sensible things for once. and its not just a ccfc thing, many many clubs mismanaged so its perhaps not easy to get it right.
so for not taking money out, not selling big players(last season) and for putting right people in charge i will give them some praise yes
same happens all work places
i might complete my work on time, i will get praise of course but so will my manager and his manager etc
i simply saying understand where purple is coming from with the happiness of seeing club being run rightBut you are giving them praise for just being "normal"?
