I'm not just a "Footy Fan" as you call it. I played for a living, Edjewelly as you call him could do something the present and previous back four COULDN'T do....Play Football. I'm not saying he is the "Be all and end all" but the lad is far superior to the present mob. PS...33 apps in the season he was here doesn't tell me he was useless. Or would you say that you prefer Webster or Seabourne. I've seen milk turn quicker than both of those two..........Jesus! some footy fans haven't got a jar of glue!

David Flitcroft played for a living, and released him from Bury.

Steven Pressley played for his country, and for a living... and released him from Coventry.

Steven Pressley bought for £630k...SOLD for £750k BINNED ?!?!?!?.......David Flitcroft spent 3 years at Bury before leaving for non league football at the age of 34. BINNED?!?!?!?!? Give your f**king head a wobble mate ffs. Edjenguelle is 27 and signed for Bury on a 1 year contract, and terminated his OWN contract at Bury after the year was up.

Did both those managers play football for a living?

Was Edjenguele released by Bury before his year contract was up?

@ Nick....You accused me of "Moaning" when we sell our "Freebies" and moan when we bring them in. I will moan like ever other poster when the "Freebies" (On the whole) are journeymen that couldn't give a f**k about the Club, and Feign injury because they CBA to play for the team(Clarke anyone?) I asked you to name the Freebies we have sold on. Don't include players that came up through the academy. Samo came up with Clarke. Freebie? no chance, He had a massive signing on fee paid to him, so a freebie? NO..........I'll look forward to your answer. You accuse me of something...Back it up mate!!!

Clarke was a Free Transfer, he was sold on, people wet themselves with anger.

Richard Keogh came on a free "I think" and was sold, people weren't happy. (edit: ahh he had compensation)

They are the 2 off the top of my head in SISU's time.

If player's arent free because of signing on fees then people will stop moaning about us only getting free players then won't they?

Beat me to it when I just looked it up! Didn't think he was that young until I checked! Will just stick with Clarke then as that is a good enough example

Hardly any players in this league are signed for a fee. The one transfer fee we paid was for Barton which says it all.

Towards the end of the 2008–09 season Flitcroft was required to dig out his playing boots again, and came on as sub in the last scheduled game of the season at home to fellow play-off rivals Gillingham.[4] The following season he started a Football League Trophy game against Bradford City in what proved to be his final match as a professional...........................We're talking about "Playing" not managing mate At nearly 40 years of age being asked to put the boots on to me doesn't say BINNED.

@ Nick....Not good enough mate. Clarke is the ONLY player that comes close to being a freebie that we've "Sold on" Yet you try sarcasm to put me down by saying Freebies(Plural) Once more I will say this...I will moan about Freebies and Loanee's when they are not in the same class as players on the way out. SISU can spend millions on lawyers trying to distress a charity, and try and "Batter businesses in court" yet spend next to f**k all on trying to make CCFC a better proposition to sell to another investor..ie, on the field, where it really counts. Yet again your post #88 trying to take the piss, 8 years of being paid for playing the game I love, bought my home, a nice car, and fed and clothed my kids as well as helping out part time with training and fitness of youngsters at a "Pro" Club. Then working in the "Entertainment field" to finally secure my family financially. So you see Nick don't try to take the piss, it only makes you look a prat!

Just my opinion, but, we need to strengthen the back four first. Two prolific strikers and high scoring M/F last season, scoring nearly 60 goals between them and we STILL nearly lost our L1 status. Anyone thought about asking "Edje" to come back, I believe he is still teamless. C'mon SP, swallow your pride, Edje is so much better than anything in our defense atm.

What the fuck are you on about? I joked that I once got night's out paid for, that is taking the piss out of myself for not being a good footballer in reply to the question about have people played for a living?

What makes you look a prat is going off on one all the time when you completely misread the posts and their context and go off on rants about Gary Flitcroft and how you were paid to play and your friends are famous stars etc etc.

No doubt you will start going on about intelligence and MENSA in a minute.

Yes, they were on about Edge not Flitcroft being binned off?

I also put about 30 seconds after I posted about Keogh about them being paid a tribunal fee, did you miss that?

@ Fernandopartridge........Remember this scoreline? Coventry City 1-5 Tranmere. Sat 23 Nov 2013.................I played in the FA Cup against Tranmere Rovers at HR in front of over 25k fans. We won 2-0. Then played another 7 years in Scotland....Nahhhh, course I'm not saying I played a decent standard of football.
