How did we make him? A player of his quality will make it no matter what academy they’re in
Maddison (11 Viewers)
- Thread starter bradwellskyblues
- Start date

Not always. A young player needs to be trusted and given the chance to play first

Yeah if it was that easy every player with raw talent would make it to the top our national team would be the best in the world.
England’s youth is the best but the majority don’t get the opportunity which is why we are seeing some go abroad

They're boneheaded wankers, every man jack of them. Thick as mince, as they say in these parts.

I always thought the Leicester thing was a convenience thing. We got relegated, had no rivals.
Villa don’t really care about us and Forest and Derby don’t really care about them. So we both contrived to make a rivalry?
Either way good luck to the lad, he’ll play for England

Think it goes back further than that just us and Villa were the mainstays of the top division so that grew. Wasn’t there a running pitch battle with Leicester back in early 80s?
Found this interesting - the Coventry City experience 1981-1984. Also whether we were right to go all seater

Do people really have an issue with a person saying they will check a result before ours? He’s a Man United fan - Cov were just his local team/team he played for

Honestly can’t believe there’s adults out there abusing a football player who just moved to the Premier League because he didn’t mention Cov on a social media platform

There are Cov fans calling him a c**t on Twitter, I don't think any club holds exclusivity on dickhead supporters to be honest.

Really pleased for him.
It was evident from his first game that he had a special talent.
It would have been good to seen more of him in a Cov shirt, but hopefully the money will be put to good use.

Was going to post the same. This is probably posted by a social media person at whatever management company he's with.

Fair enough, personally they have been good for me, games have flowed, VAR has been a good addition, already quicker then it is in American sports. It can only get faster and better with time. Eventually it will eradicate diving and off the ball incidents will be picked up at the time. Meaning teams will get an advantage during the game rather than a retrospective ban that would benefit the next 3 teams.

Good luck to the lad. Great move for him and I hope he takes the opportunity to push for an England place. Some forget how young he was when he played for the first team initially and he seems to have added to his game whilst at Norwich. I’m hoping we will be cheering him at the next World Cup.

I don't get the Social Media outrage to Maddison going to Leicester. He's no longer a Coventry City player and hasn't been for 2 and a half years. Like I said earlier on this thread, it's not like he will ever play for us again, unless it's when he's 37 looking for a last pay day. A Norwich player has moved to Leicester.
On the other hand, I don't get the Social Media loving towards Maddison. He only played 24 games for us before signing for Norwich and then 11 games when he came back on loan . When he came back on loan, Maddison made it abundantly clear he didn't give a fuck anymore and had lost interest, to the extent that he wasn't even making the 16 man squad by the end of the season. He's also the first to praise players leaving the club.
Anyway...
Our only interest in Maddison was that we got a 10-15% cut on whatever he went for. I only care about CCFC and wanted us to get as much money from the deal as possible and so be it, he went to Leicester - who bid the highest amount for him. We got £2mill - £3mill as part of the deal, which is fantastic and hopefully will stop SISU from selling players for a season - meaning we can keep the likes of McNulty and Bayliss and have a decent shot at League 1. Hopefully SISU won't be snapping hands off for 500K for one of them now... The vested interest in Maddison, is now over.

Thanks for that.
I still thought the rational was valid until someone on thread claims he is a Man Utd fan.
Oh well millionaire and Man Utd supporter, hard life for some.

I never saw Leicester as rivals and viewed them as a bit of a joke to be quite honest. Rivals are Villa and previously Wolves.
Never saw them as rivals but always disliked them because of fans.
Sure joke is on us these days but expect the natural equilibrium to be restored eventually. Football success goes in cycles (hopefully in case of Coventry City!!).

the equilibrium with Villa will be the 1st to be restored
I would argue that they are going to be in the bottom 1/3 of the championship next year, and hopefully us in the top 1/3 of league 1
It would not take too much for us to be playing in the same league as them in the following season

More impressed that we only needed a crowd of 11,500 to break even in the top flight!

It might be a waste of money .Let's wait and see if he does it in the Prem.

Not obsessed - just have a good memory
One of us said he was a League One standard player and not good enough for the Championship
One of us said within 2 years he’ll join a Premier League club for very big money

I can be wrong once in a while you know! To readdress the balance I said Kelly Evans would end up at the Boro if you can be bothered to find it? :emoji_thumbsup:
My "opinion" on Bayliss is that I think he will go all the way-looks a better player than when Maddison first came on the scene.
