Really boring subject but it's both a closed final salary scheme ( Defined benefit) and Money purchased scheme.

Are you finding that more people are cashing the whole fund in post the new legislation? Is this a good idea do you think?

Bottom of the barrel scrapings? Can't see that many good strikers being available anyway, but if we missed out on our first choice, how good is the second choice?

COVENTRY City are still hoping to bring in one striker – or one attacking midfielder – with 90 minutes to go before the transfer window closes at 11pm, we can reveal.

Club sources have just told us boss Russell Slade is still hoping to finalise a deal to boost goalscoring options, which has been a problem all season.

One striker in particular is being considered at this late stage.

He is not the same striker who Slade was targeting earlier today.

We are told the club realistically at this late stage expects to bring in one more player at best, if at all.

There has also been renewed late interest in one young Sky Blues player tonight which could still lead to a sale.

Brentford with the Hogan money?
Left with a disaffected Willis?
might get a striker (but not who he was after?)
A bit depressing?!

LIVE: Coventry City late bid to land a striker, and late bid for one Sky Blues player

So as Bryan Richardson has less moves up then his successors are you at last admitting he was a success?

Fucking hell. Is grendull talking bollocks and desperately clutching to analogies? Yes. Does it include Richardson? Yes.

Yeah you know he's struggling when he has to throw Richardson into the mix.

What a clown you are.

Depends on which side of the fence you sit. Good for the scheme defeceit but not the sensible option for the individual typically. Of course, every individual has there own situation but typically a short sighted option in my opinion .We have tried to discourage people ( attempt to adopt a concerned employer approach) but end of the day a vast majority of people take the short term misguided view.

So it was two to come in, now down to one and the one is not our first choice.

Mouthwatering isn't it.

Christie, Turner, Murphy, Jutkeiwiz (sp?), Sordell, JOB, Fleck, Thomas, Phillips, Vincelot, Pugh, Webster, Jackson, Miller, Murphy, Moussa, Seabourne, J Clarke, Adams, Daniels, Swanson.

All went to clubs above us now. I could go on.

Seaborne, Daniels, Webster, Miller?

Am I missing something here, some of the worse players to pull on the shirt in the history of the club here.

We need strengthening. If two go out and one comes in that will be annoying. Even one out one in if it is Stevenson.

That will not be strengthening.

We do still have the two trialists though don't we.

Did anybody really expect anything different?

Same old City. No notable incomings (which were promised)

And only rumours seem to be of outgoings.

Surely Tim needs to be summoned to CWR and questioned as to why he lied on both TalkSPORT and CWR about funds being available to improve the squad
