Assume we won't be relegated and assume we are still in northants

players to leave - expected
Cyrus Moose Murphy Wilson
players who may leave
Fleck - I think he thinks he's better than he is
Baker - may get an offer from a more stable league 1 club
Blair - clearly not rated by SP

Loan players to join
Don't think any have stood out, even marshall hardly gets a run out despite being so highly rated by SP. Fonz & Ecclestone have been inefffective, Prutton & Robinson are potential recruits but may be out of budget. Dylan McG an utter waste of a loan signing hardly played since here its not like its been a winning team during that period.

Agree 100% but will add this. Blair Adams cba. Look at his twitter page, nothing but chat about Sunderland. Fleck is a legend in his own mind, and simply isn't good enough, and Baker is too hit and miss for my liking.

at crewe away had a good view of blair struggled against their bigger physical players but like Fleck and most players look better at the start of the season as clarke / wilson combo gave us a platform to attack and Fleck blair are better with the ball. Fleck imo isn't strong enough no pace and poor in the tackle but has vision and touch with the ball. 1 goal this season is a poor return.

Scored against Swindon are you counting a goal in a penalty shoot out

I think Murphy and Baker will stay. Both have said they want to. Disappointed by Moussa's attitude and not declaring himself fit. Hopefully we will keep Callum. Not too bothered by Christie.

Murphy's statement was conditional on an acceptable contract offer..

YEs, I get that. Same with Baker. However, it is nice to know that they do actually want to stay and play for Coventry City.

I have seen enough of Fleck to know we should keep him. Yes his early season form was better, but you could say that for most of the team.
Squad quality and depth needs to improve for next season else we will struggle. But I don't expect anything to happen before JR.

Baker's out of contract next season so he won't be offered one till at least next April.

Here's who I think will go:

Joe Murphy
Jordan Clarke
Cyrus Christie
Blair Adams
Franck moussa
Mark Marshall
Adam Barton
Billy daniels
Callum Wilson

And all the loan players.

One person who will stay at sixfields though will be RFC

I know, it's weird isn't it. It's almost like sisu own the club and therefore take some sort of responsibility for what happens to the club.

Don't think jordan will go, there will be limited takers for a player who still hasn't secured a confirmed position between full back and centre back.

The implication was that Murphy's actions will speak louder than his words

That's right. Some things you can blame them for, some things you can't.

The fact we currently can't fund a team to compete in the third tier is SISU's fault, regardless of rent costs there are sufficient numbers of home fans willing to fund a promotion challenge in this league.

Moussa and Christie are definitely leaving
Murphy might stay but if he gets a better offer he will probably be off
Wilson will leave only if the clubs valuation is met

How can you fund a promotion charge when you're losing £7m at the Ricoh whilst not paying £1.3m rent?

Makes you wonder how much they've lost this season. Paying rent but playing to less than 2000.

Couldn't care less if Christie left. Adequate replacements in Phillips and Willis.

Ha! Why not answer the original point rather than raising another? Probably because you'd struggle to back ACL on how they overcharged CCFC.

Sorry. I must have had a grendull moment. Besides in context to the post I quoted it was on topic. How are we going to fund a team capable of a promotion push when are owners insist on putting us on the worst possible financial footing they can and for what?

If CCC "evicted" us and then demolished the Ricoh to build houses then sisu's reasonings would stack up and we would be selling suxfields out and cardozy would be a hero. But that isn't the case is it?

I've heard from a reliable source that SISU intend to significantly reduce the players budget which is pretty obvious to most but more significantly Waggot and Presley have stated that should this come to pass they will walk.

Don't be surprised if Micky Adams, still lives locally and currently disenchanted with fans support at Port Vale, emerges as manager for next season!

I think he lives In Northampton .

However If It's fan support he's after maybe not.

He has done a great job for them ,they are far more secure than us currently so he'd be mental.

Regards Pressley and Waggot I seriously doubt It ,they seem on song with the owners aims.
