Psychological effect? Thing is, we have looked demotivated and not up for it anyway. I can't see how it could get any worse.

Well, yes, I realise that. However, if you consider that there are probably a few players who will feel resentful towards those fleeing a sinking ship, and their already inflated ego will prompt an even greater degree of 'not giving a fuck', simply as a petulant response to those on their way out to better clubs. It does occur, honestly.

So not only are we losing squad player/s, we're probably facing even shitter performances (if that's possible), so in my opinion we should really blood some youngsters and see what they can do in preparation for next season.

I mean, we're staring L2 in the face, it can't do any harm to push a few kids in and see what they're capable of and get some games under their belt. The alternative is to watch hopelessly at this team of silhouettes ship goals and fail to score game after game, without an iota of passion or grit.

Are we talking about the big space in between Oggy's ears?

In anatomy, a potential space is a space that can occur between two adjacent structures that are normally pressed together. The pleural cavity between the visceral and parietal pleura of the lung, is sometimes referred to as a potential space although, strictly speaking, it contains some fluid and is therefore an actual space, albeit a small one

The only thing is that playing youngsters in this team will probably fuck them up for good before they even have a chance to show what they can do

Yep, there's that too, haha. Well, it was a suggestion, I doubt RS would employ it anyway. He'll be encouraging Burge to hoof it up to Tudgay for the rest of this catastrophic season; I'm so glad I'm not tied to a season ticket.

Fisher is such a dumb prick that he cant see that after selling the last available players worth anything there is nothing left to sell. Couple that with relegation and cash flow zero is on the horizon.

He has got to be the worlds biggest clown in making a once saleable asset, the club, less than worthless. Still the FA wouldn't bat and eyelid seeing a club run to the ground by the face of our 'fit and proper' owners. Fucking joke.

I live in hope that its a fire sale before they leave. I appreciate its between a 0% and 1% chance of that

so Willis, Haynes, Stevenson and possibly Harris to go by the end of the night! The only hope I have is that SISU are making the last bit of money they can before doing one.

I bet they are hoping Wilson moves on before the end of the window aswell.

I would say in Slade we trust but I don't, we are well and truly doomed.

Rate Willis, very good player. What people fail to realise is he is only 22, played over 100 games even with two lengthy injury set backs and been given the captaincy - must have something about him.

Sometimes I think our academy players cop way too much flak the instant they make their first mistake in the first team. Not sure why people were so happy about the Rawson signing when they already thought Willis was shit. People are saying he is shit, he is now too good for Coventry City.

Yup. Maybe dead in the water and he could still be a City player til the end of the season.

If it's personal terms and not the fee then that could be the end of it.

anybody roughly guess what he might sell for? anyone see this below fucking crazy think sisu jump in be like here here make offers well give you a better deal for our players lol:

BREAKING NEWS

Wow... Sky sources understand League One leaders Scunthorpe United have rejected an extraordinary bid of £4m for striker Kevin Van Veen, from Chinese Super League club Henan Jianye FC.

Scunthorpe are reluctant to sell a key player as they bid for promotion to the Championship, but would be interested if the offer nears £8m, we are told. Negotiations continue.

So what we want now is the Chinese to buy Lameiras for £5m and Bigi for £9m and Rose for £3m.

Then Sisu might bugger off!!

Its ccfc. Farce is normal.
Why have we accepted a bid? The window is open for a few hours yet...we should only Accept bids at 5mins to closing. That way Fisher has his excuse ready made as to why we didn't get a replacement in.

One story paints the club as the good guys for keeping hold of their young talent, the other paints them as the bad guys for allowing him to leave.

Typical of the Coventry media

Observer have direct access to the club, CET will have better connections with other clubs due to sister papers.

Make of that what you will.
