not saying no money but we haven’t got the vast funds needed as it stands.

not sure if you seen my post but robins is unhappy with the whole Vik situation. he wants it done to get the players he wants in. longer that saga runs, the less likely we get who we want.

Didnt MR say he has more budget to play with once DK came in though?

Wouldn't have expected it in January though. What we did do is not sell anybody in a panic, and actually bring some bodies in where we had none. That was decent.

Gimoc really does have an anti king agenda….

‘Vast sums needed’….

Only teams with parachute payments and top echelons of premier have such riches.

We’re Coventry City and not owned by a billionaire or a state affiliated sports company.

he was certainly on our radar. if you wanna believe our recruitment is going well then you are burying your head in the sand.

That pay towards running a professional football club.

You’re crackers if you think we’re spunking millions on players this year.

In my view the jury is definitely out on King and I for one am yet to be convinced. If he was instrumental in persuading Gyokeres to stay for the remainder of the season during the January transfer window then that has its merit but I've seen little else to be too optimistic about.
If he is playing hardball with the sale then he should be backing his own judgement by releasing funds for Robins now if he has identified any particular player we need to get over the line quickly.
We should hopefully know for sure within the next ten days or so whether we are into something good or not.
It would be such a shame to lose the momentum which has been steadily building these last few years.

What's the point in buying an established Championship football club with hopes of getting to the Premier League within the next 5 seasons if you're not prepared to spunk millions on players?

We have 17 players right now, including Gyokeres, Tavares, O’Hare and Moore.

Anyone who thinks that’s a good place to be starting pre-season is in cloud cuckoo land.

How are we even going to play a game in Portugal as things stand? The U23s are playing Leamington while we’re away so will presumably be staying behind.

Cant see the Leamingtn game going ahead unless we make 4/5 signings this week. We’ve gutted the U23s as well, who is even left?

If you take him at face value he had no interest until SISU tried to flog it to him.

They are run by John Dempster I’m sure there isn’t U/23s. I knew the U/21s were playing Leamington, think it will be a bit of a mixture U/18s & 21s
