I'm a long time reader don't comment much but I must agree with rupert on both points. I'm a long time Coventry fan and this year is the first time in years I feel we will be competing at the right end of the table, this must be credited to the manager. Hope we can hold on to him.

I reckon a sneaky bid of £200,000 and we can nab him in January surely!

Was daydreaming yesterday about us going up and keeping the front three we have on loan another year. Such a shame they're not ours, but if they were they'd be sold in Jan!
Lets face it, it's unlikely any of these English 'starlets' will ever make it in the Premier league; there is just too much competition from overseas players. And with so many foreign managers with a low-opinion of anything British, it will be an uphill struggle for any of them to make it. Just look at the scorers each week, it's rare that you ever see a British player scoring. Even Wayne Rooney is now being overshadowed by an 19-year old Frenchman.

What a load of old cobblers! Martin, vardy, Wilson, ings, Ritchie, berahino all scored this weekend - all British. And thats not including the likes of Rooney, Kane and sturridge who usually score for fun at this level. You can also include Dann, henderson in the list of previous players. Hell Leon bloody Barnett was playing in the prem a couple of years ago!!!!Lets face it, it's unlikely any of these English 'starlets' will ever make it in the Premier league; there is just too much competition from overseas players.

A lot depends on the personal ambition of the player waiting for the big break at Anfield and the wages that go with it or playing every week a league or two lower, I would think Kent is a minimum two years away from a chance of dislodging a Liverpool first teamer
Waggott must surely be cringing with embaressment when he compares the dross he and Pressley brought in to what Mowbray and Venus have.
That isn't the point he was making. He said that Kent and Armstrong would be unlikely to make it at their parent clubs as they are in the prem and they don't tend to let English players come through. I guess a better example would be to list the players that play for these clubs before they were turned 21. Off the top off my head it would be Joe Gomez, Martin Kelly, Jon Flanagan, Henderson, Moreno, can, rossiter, coutinho, ibe, origi and that's just Liverpool. Not all British but still prepared to give youth it's head. And that doesn't include sterling!!I think its a fair point but maybe a little overexaggerated, 20 years ago Berahinho, Vardy, Wilson would all be at a top 6 premier league club. If you look at the top scorer charts in the early 90s it would be dominated by Shearer, Les Ferdinand, Cole, Le Tissier, Fowler, Sutton, Wright, Sheringham, Collymore. Are we not producing the players anymore or are they just not being given the chance?
Go look at some championship teams, 20/30 years ago a lot of these players would have played for a top 10 team.
