It’s a 45% each with Spurs and 10% into a pot that’s then shared 50-50 with the EFL and the PL.

Do our expenses for hosting the match, eg stewarding/police charges get taken off before the money is split up?

Spoke to his old man regarding the draw this morning

James is expecting a mixed reception but knows that's football. Doesn't want to be rested wants to play where it all began for him

It will still be great extra revenue and a lucrative night for parts of the City of Coventry. If we were to succeed ……

It was an awkward situation for him really. He did get a lot of stick and it clearly played on his mind.

If they’re half as fun as the Man Utd fans were…

Fewer clueless foreigners/inlfuencers “supporting” them though so less banter.

Might go and tell Ash Sarkar she’s a c**t.

I will be very much my normal mutual self.

Don't support players who are not playing for my club, but he's not done anything to warrant any form of abuse or booing.

I don't love or hate him, I nothing him...as harsh as that may sound.

Think it takes a bit of mean spirit to not be happy for someone from the city who achieved great things in the game. That said, for the 90 minutes he is just another opposition player so would just treat him as such.

I worked with a few people who went to school with him at Foxford, nobody had bad things to say.

Somone has an agenda!

There are plenty of instances of his referencing us since leaving if you look hard enough from referring to McSheffrey as his favourite player when he was growing up, or his pleasure at scoring the winning goal against Villa because of his CCFC connections, or referring to us as as the team he supported on a blog that was referred to on this site earlier in the Summer.

He may have grown up but it wasn’t great. I can’t find the link but he offered a homeless guy in Norwich a wad of cash then burnt in front of him

For a team who have spent absolute millions but won fck all for the best part of 20 years the self entitled prats on their forum dont half think they are the dogs bollocks and this is a mere formality whilst giving out a load of shit about us.
They remind me of the manure plastic fan base and they only have their arses saved by a dodgy VAR decision.

Spurs are clearly favourites but I honestly think that, if we put out our strongest available team, this is winnable.

Lots of Chinese whispers on the original Maddison story in Norwich that ended up with a Not Guilty decision. After burning the cash did he murder the next homeless man he saw?

They will probably have a strong team as they've won nothing for about 25 years.

Decent draw, they're an excellent team but it's a very winnable game for us and if Spurs turn up and aren't at it, I think we'll punish them. Be nice to see Maddison play at the CBS again. Even when he first broke into the team, you could tell straight away he was destined for the top.

Maddison's problem was that he seemed totally disinterested for the remainder of the season after we'd sold him and he returned on loan.

I remember Blackpool away, one of the few games we actually won post Jan, and he just jogged the sideline until Mowbray subbed him. Fans weren't happy with him and let him know.

It left a bit of a shit taste that didn't go away for a while as he seemed to be so buzzed about playing for Aberdeen and Norwich.

Water under the bridge now though.

No shame in admitting I said the opposite at the time. I thought he looked so lightweight and spent half the time on the floor. Of course more than happy to be completely wrong.

He was getting the shit kicked out of him in every game in league 1.
I remember saying to his dad after one game and before he went to Norwich that he would do better in the premier league as he would get much better protection.
We also need to remember that selling him and the sell on clause probably helped keep the club in business at the time.

I don't get why teams in Europe can't play each other?

Surely it means theres more chance of them going out to concentrate on Europe.

Pointless doing a draw if it's fixed.

Yeah it Stinks, and WHY give them a Home draw, don't they make enough money.
