The end is nigh..

Both Norwich City and Bournemouth have been given permission to open talks with Coventry City`s hot shot striker, Callum Wilson.

The Coventry Evening Telegraph reports this afternoon that The Sky Blues have received and accepted bids of £3m from each club for the 22 year old.
Speculation has been rife for several weeks that Norwich have been interested in the player, who scored 22 goals in league One last season.

If bids have been accepted from both clubs and Wilson intends to talk to both, then it will come down to where he feels his career will be best served. Having sold Lewis Grabban to Norwich for £3m, Bournemouth will be looking for someone capable to fill his boots.

From a Norwich point of view, this is slightly surprising news when we already have six strikers in our squad - must be someone leaving, surely?!

You can't stop players moving-on if they are going to double, treble or even quadruple YOUR wages.
Get real!

Yep, you're right.

The same can be said about football teams. You can't stop them moving 35 miles down the road if they're going to double, treble or even quadruple there turnover. Wait.......... that can't be right.

Vital football; trustworthy source? Wouldn't surprise me if the 'report' is true, but until NCFC.co.uk or AFCB.co.uk (or whatever their official sites are) announce it, he's still a CCFC player in my eyes

(Clutching at straws as he's more than likely on his way but still)

No one's happy about moving 35 miles down the road, not the manager, players or supporters but basically we didn't have a choice!

CCC refused point blank to renegotiate our unsustainable rent ( £1:28 million ) so the owners called their bluff. The rental model has never worked ( we got fleeced that way when we sold Highfield Road ), we must own our own stadium and be in full control of ALL it's revenue streams.

Yawn - the alst paragraph is the worst bit - "we must have this, we must have that" - then re-fund the build cost of the stadium. The most odious moment of the whole saga was when SISU QC argued "ACL should have been allowed to fail" to get SISU off the hook for the build cost. SISU can't have all the revenues and pay nothing for the stadium - what do the council, who baled out the whole project, get in return?

That's not me "defending the council," that's just commercial common sense! You can't walk into another busienss, say that you need everything you want, and expect it on a silver platter, than say no when you get refused.

P.S. the new £400k rent deal, without extra revenues, wasn't too much of a problem for Tim when he shook hands with ACL on it - only to be over-ruled by Joy. He's not shut up about F+B since then, though we never heard of it before.

Do you think that with 10,000 paying spectators for each home game, even without F+B revenues but on a lower rent, we couldn't be able to outspend the likes of Oldham and Vale under FFP (including SISU's ability to get round FFP rules)?? If not, you're a muppet

So you've decided to lie now.. that statement directly contradicts statements made in 2 recent legal judgements.

Didn't your Mum tell you not to lie?

You cannot stop players being moved on when the club want the money.

You have not read the JR court papers, you need to read it to see what the Judge has said. It is there on the internet.
