It would have happened in May 2023 if Doug hadn't taken over

Would have been in the mental situation of having to win that play off final or go out of existence

I think Vik would of said no to a Jan move, by then him and his agent had a plan in place

IIRC he changed agents after the January window.

Not that it means much, but we apparently beat off Hull to get him, whether it was the fee, wages or the pull of George Boateng or a combo of any of them, something attracted him to us at the 11th hour

Probably more the push from Hull, than the pull of Coventry.

Latest figures, 2023-24 account will be available in 6 weeks, I'll let you know but I doubt it is going to be much more than a 10% hike.

I think in that summer of 2011 they were seriously considering trying to use just academy players.
Click to expand...

The fact Bigi, Thomas, Clarke, Christie, and Cameron all featured a fair amount during that season and none other than possibly Christie had the ability to play in the Championship shows how thin on the ground we were.

It also doesn't actually say we bid 3.5m to 4m - it says that is what they think is enough

So you are inventing that to suit your own negative approach then. Good to know.

Think cause of how this window has gone. Way I see it Saddle broke the news on here and gets benefit of the doubt that it’s close and will be done today or tomorrow. If not panic

Lets hope it gets done and dusted quickly i can imagine by now all parties involved want it resolved to be able to move on. Its a transfer that seems to be agreed with the player and seems to be a negotiation between clubs on fee and payments

why do we? The stories are that the player wants to come to us as we are offering more wages than Swansea ergo that would indicate we have already spoken about wages

Fair to assume this one’s been brewing for a little bit based on Jimmy’s posts. Plus if the player has handed in his request he must know what he’s getting from us.

Interestingly he’s agent already represents a couple of our first team
