If he is available for free we will get him. If there is a chance of having to pay compo we won't.

Whatever happens I am more hopeful for this season than last. Seems they have learned a lesson.

Agreed they are definately trying to get players in. Far more so than last season and it looks like the quality is good be league one standard as well.

Grendel · Jul 4, 2012

Is he the new Eastwood?

Rangers fan board says he is coming here. None too complimentary including this worrying comment;

"Signing for Coventry is punching above his weight.
Which is considerable"

:thinking about:

Nonleagueherewecome · Jul 4, 2012

I don't care how considerable his weight is as long as he's punching well BELOW it with us!

HAS HE SIGNED YET?!

thechase · Jul 4, 2012

Sky Sports are reporting that Norwich and Stoke havent had international clearance for their signings from Rangers yet so possibly this is the hold up behind any deal to sign Fleck.

I'm always sceptical about how fans of clubs regard players about to leave (we've had it here a load), but especially with Rangers' current predicament a player leaving could be greeted with a little extra dose of bitterness.

we can't afford to pay rent let alone legal fees

oldskyblue58 · Jul 4, 2012

So CCFC/SISU can play hard ball with ACL over the rent which is a valid contractual claim by ACL for a debt due .......... but apparently offer Rangers 20% of a future fee when the scottish club is thought by nearly everyone not to have a valid claim at all ...... that makes sense ..... Not !

:facepalm:

I know. I just found it funny. They reckon he is on £5,000 a week at Rangers so I think we will be paying a reasonable wage.

Sky breaking news... coventry reach agreement with rangers to sign Fleck!

f*cking yes

most exciting signing at the city since robbie keane....

Otis · Jul 4, 2012

On Rangers offal!!!!!

AN inaccurate media report this morning suggests the Club is taking legal action against John Fleck over his move to Coventry City.

Both clubs have in fact reached agreement for the transfer of the player and Coventry have recognised Rangers rights as part of the process.A formal announcement will be made later today.

Nonleagueherewecome · Jul 4, 2012

Was that relevant in the slightest? Thought it was the player we needed to agree terms with, not Rangers?!?

You obviously drank too much to remember the euphoric celebrations on the day they unveiled Roy O'Donovan as a City player...

skybluebeduff · Jul 4, 2012

Yep it's in the yellow scrolling writing on Sky Sports News

Nonleagueherewecome · Jul 4, 2012

We might catch the Pompey thread in size before this saga is over, though!

Oh what a day. It will be one of those moments. Where were you when you heard ROD had joined Coventry.

Otis · Jul 4, 2012

Where were you when we made a rod for our own backs.

Nonleagueherewecome · Jul 4, 2012

I'm actually really looking forwards to see him back at his level and banging in goals for fun.

Yep, I'll be there for the Nuneaton game, just like last year!

castlevaleskyblue · Jul 4, 2012

Yes yes yes yes yes! What could possibly go wrong now?! We are actually signing a decent player

skyblueshaun · Jul 4, 2012

lets just get it all confirmed now and that is a great signing

PUSB!!!

Nonleagueherewecome · Jul 4, 2012

Just like Marco Negri would have been...

castlevaleskyblue · Jul 4, 2012

Does this class as a verbal agreement

Otis · Jul 4, 2012

It's only verbal if it's faxed on letterheaded paper.

Don't be silly, that thread cannae be defeated!

The Rangers site (which is a mess incidentally, webmasters always the first to go) claiming it's as good as done which suits me.

I'd still like to see a cheesy shot of him holding a shirt/scarf/ball as real proof before I 100% believe it.

Mail on line says he has signed

If I remember rightly, all the same things were being said about Charlie Adam when he went to Blackpool.

I find this signing really exciting and hopefully a sign of things to come. Obviously, as long as its confirmed!!

Yeah, many Rangers fans said Adam was one of the worst players to ever play for them. He turned out alright. I just wanna see a few terrible photos of him holding a city ball in a random room and I will be happy.

Yeah, he definitely wasn't too bad!!

Absolutely, its promising that this news today is on ssn and sounds like the deal is basically done but I'm the same, give me a pic of him holding up a shirt in the Ricoh!

We'll_live_and_die · Jul 4, 2012

Deal is done announcement to be made today on rangers offal

AFCCOVENTRY · Jul 4, 2012

Glad to see we have added some pace to te team with Fleck and Elliott signing.

We still need a prolific goalscorer, a CM and 2 centre backs.

ajsccfc · Jul 4, 2012

Bear in mind that what a Rangers fan might think is a slightly poor player should translate pretty well to Coventry in the third tier.
