No new bids apparently although their probably just hoping to drum up more interest before the window shuts

Robins rubbishing Boddy

Asked for an update on the situation, whether the club have received any renewed or improved ‘substantial’ bids for players, Robins told CoventryLive: “Substantial wasn’t my word. But we have not had any substantial bids, no. No-one has come back. They have not been substantial enough.

Coventry City boss Mark Robins says no renewed bids received

The Sky Blues are keen to hold on to their top players in the January transfer widow

“But nobody will come back. That will be it.”

I think it was a couple bids being submitted for two players that the club were never going to accept , this was quite early in the window and nothing has happened since

Boddy talking it up as “significant” when it was nothing but then

Boddy dribbling at the Sisu temple as ever. I wish he’d sell someone and Robins actually leaves the church - let’s see what the fans think of Big Dave then

Prett disappointed in Boddy with this tbf

Ive been a fan of his. But as We know MR doesn't beat around the bush, and if he declares them as not significant bids then it must be paltry

Weird for Boddy to claim otherwise

 

[SBT]

I doubt Robins is out there fielding bids and negotiating transfer fees tbh.

Joy calls the shots and she’s told Dave get me that O’Hare/Hamer money

Boddy talking it up as “significant” when it was nothing but then

I think they were probably significant in terms of bids we have received for previous transfers and probably would have been entertained before but I would imagine where we are as a club and the position the club are now in they are looking for way more for players

I would think we’ve never turned down a bid in recent seasons ( we might have turned down the initial bid but eventually that player would have gone)

There isn’t a story here, I don’t think. I remember when Watford got relegated and Aidy Boothroyd responding to rumours about Marlon King said he was worth £60 million… That’s how silly manager’s valuations can be.

What do you mean by 'leave the church'? Resign? Or just speak out against having players sold from under him?

substantial or significant is a matter of opinion. What may be substantial to me may not be to you.

Any idea who the bids were for?

Wtf why would you want that???
Oh yep not a big fan of robins are you

Well I believe MR values would be nearer the truth then BB.

Robins is very much behind the owners

He’s hardly the most enigmatic of characters but even by his own standards he’s sounded somewhat disappointed with the Book of Sisu of late.

 

[Grendel]

Wtf why would you want that???
Oh yep not a big fan of robins are you

I’ve explained why I’ve not and if he started to voice concerns over the ownerships lack of direction and support clearly his popularity will increase

 

[the rumpo kid]

Wtf you on about

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Me or you yes but we are talking two important roles at a football club

You'd have to be really, he came back knowing full well what they were like so it's not surprising. I get where you are coming from but my worry if Robins were to say "fuck this shit, i'm off" is what the hell do we end up with? SISU aren't going to find a buyer that's willing to pay the money they'd likely be after so id rather keep a successful manager that toes the line for the forseeable.

 

[Ccfcisparks]

I cant believe some G want's one of the best managers we've ever had to leave, just to stick it to the owners.

How much do you think they want?

Don’t think I said that exactly

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Nah I think he quite likes the relationship and it’s clearly mutually beneficial. I don’t know as I’ve never met the guy

 

[Razzle Dazzle Dean Gordon]

How much do you think they want?

Complete guesswork on my part clearly but we've got quite a bit piled up in debt to them now which rakes in about £1m in interest per season doesn't it? They'd presumably want the debts paid off and a chunk on top for loss of the income stream, possibly more to cover any investment they've made that isn't covered by the current debt too.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

It could be read that way

 

[Grendel]

It could be read that way

It could but the real issue is we have a non league ability CEO running the company and it’s pathetic

If we had new owners, would you be happy with robins leading us forward?

 

[Grendel]

If the new owners considered him the man for the job then yes clearly

Based on what criteria??

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Some posters are going to be devastated if we don’t sell any of our key players this window

Fuck me G, we have shit owners and a good manager, and you are implying we should have shit owners and no manager.
I know which scenario I prefer.

 

[Grendel]

The whole commercial aspect of the club and the way it’s run has not changed since he took over
