Listen I don't know whether we'll sell him or not but it's not in our control (Leon Clarke being the perfect most recent example ), he engineered that move along with his agent.

In the past goalscoring HERO'S have been sold and none of us liked it, Terry Bly, George Hudson, Bobby Gould. I could go on and on but it's a fact of football life we have to contend with, as one door closes another one opens!

Had enough of your twaddle - the one plus point is you seem to know that an exclamation mark goes at the end of a sentence......however, your use of the apostrophe is as bad as your wumming

You have to look at the longer term bigger picture, for God's sake it's not rocket science, is it?

ah the battle for the pie revenues.....i dont like to call names, but you sir are a clown...big claims of smoking guns etc, all bollocks. Not one penny of a wilson sale would end up invested in the squad...it will go to service the running of the club which sisu said they would / could contain np...again a pack of freeze dry shit fucking lies.....and yet beyond belief people support this bunch of high sea pirates

Really? Who said that?

Waggot:

“I think the only way you ever sell a player like Callum is if you restructure your squad in a way where Steven Pressley sees a stronger overall squad than just one player. That’s the only time you would commercially consider it, if the deal is so good that it allows you to have more depth and more options in the squad itself to give you a real push.“And that’s the critical point I would say about any negotiation of selling and buying players. Because if it means your squad, after all the transactions, is better than it was than if the player was in it.
“If it works then you get called a magician, and if it goes badly then you are called everything under the sun for selling him.”

Reasons we're out of Coventry are simple, we need to own run and control ALL revenue streams as FIFA FPR dictate we can only spend 60% of our gross turnover on player related payments ie: transfer fees, bonuses & wages.

Please get a grip.

Nurse!

Waggott the magician? I wish he could make SISU disappear. Or at least magic a kick up the arse for all involved including his own.

You wouldn't hire him for the kid's birthday would you?

He certainly seems to make enough players coming to the end of their contract disappear.

Lets also take a look at a few other SISU gems:

Ray Ranson - The football genius with all the know how in the game = Got fed up, with SISU attacking its own plan to be successful. LEFT.

Inye Igwe - Advised Sky Blue Sam was too fat and not a good role model. = Joy got rid when results did not improve. SACKED/REDEPLOYED

Leonard Bhrody - Got tons of abuse and jacked it in. LEFT.

Ken Delieu - Sat on the bench, no more needs to be said. SACKED/REDEPLOYED

John Clarke- Cant remember what he brought to the table = LEFT.

So we are left with the dynamic trio
Joy Seppla - Loves court, just loves it, cannot spend enough time there. Just like women loves shopping, she loves court battles.
Tim Fisher - Keeps talking about imaginary places that are not being built. Very much likes his dog.
Mark Labovich - Seems to really hate ACL, ask him a question and he goes silent and then goes off on one about the council. Comedy gold he is a keeper.

Steve Waggot - Seems to be held in high regard, but what success has he brought to CCFC?
Recent signings have been dreadful and has allowed contradicts to expire leaving the club at risk.

If you look at the people in charge its so easy to see why CCFC are so fucked up.

On the plus side i think Calum Wilson is an excellent player and seems to be a down to earth guy.
Would have no problem with him moving on to get away from the madness that's Northampton.

This thread was a good read, very comical, and so self deluded by RFC, no wood seems to grow anywhere on his trees, they're plastic trees.

I really do hope you're being ironic there.

He (Ransom) did have a deal for Andy Carroll tee'd up for 1m
And Jordan Henderson willing to sign after a loan spell...but when they were blocked by SISU he threw in his cards.

He has faults...but his football knowledge seems to outstrip the Waggott dealings, or do you disagree?

The only thing that Ranson did / said that has left a bitter taste was the - we have no over draft etc led us (me) to think that the club was being ran with investment that was to be recouped by selling at a profit, or by success. He jacked in when he finally learnt how SISU were operating, and up and left. I have some respect for him, none at all for Fisher.

So Ranson claims, however he also claimed we were debt free, almost as eye-watering as the interest he claimed from the club for his "loan".

He brought Sisu to the club, he spunked a load of money getting us nowhere, loaned Championship rivals money to buy players from his own Cayman based hedge-fund, employed and continued to employ Coleman, yet people think he's great?

Fucking hell.

I wouldn't believe everything ranson said.....he also said we were debt free.

Also Bruce didn't want to sell Henderson who then went on to play a prominent part in Sunderlands first team - started 23/10 sub in PL, started 2 in FA cup and started 3 in carling cup that season

Funny how the same guy says we were debt free and is a bullshitter but everything else is gospel.

You mean like, oh I don't know, EVERY SINGLE FISHER/LABOVITCH "misquote" that you latch onto?

Fisher also said we're debt free. I take it you're admitting he's a bullshitter too?

No, it's not that. Nick thinks we were debt free. If TF said the same tomorrow he'd also take it as gospel.

Sorry to step in, but when has Nick ever said we are debt free? It seems its a case of attacking him for the sake of him having a different opinion?

A bit like when everyone proclaims everything that comes out of Fisher's mouth is bullshit. Mentions the word liquidation though and suddenly it becomes scripture.

This is the problem when a persons credibility is lost, they are open to ridicule and just about any side can point to something they have said to make their point. Probably best if Fisher and Labovitch can find a job elsewhere, is anyone willing to give them a reference?

last bit of "family silver" we have to sell. Proceeds will go to SISU and we will get a bunch of second rate loanees.

Sad to say the club is dying under the current management.

Everyone? Not everyone. Just those that don't believe about this stadium they are supposedly building perhaps. Do you believe this or do you think he is full of shit?

It seems to me that he is full of shit unless it is bad news. Then it seems to be true. Like when he said about us moving to Northampton.

Or do you think we should just laugh off all talk from SISU about liquidating our club and be like you and know it won't happen? They have been threatening it for a couple of years now.

So are you saying that Joy is full of shit? She is the main one that has been threatening to liquidate our club.

Are they all full of shit and we have nothing to worry about?

Unfortunately taking all politics away from this we have to remember we are no longer a premier league club!! We sold our best players even when
we were top flight and did not reinvest all the money back into the team for gods sake!!!

We are now a league 1 club so forgetting the owners a player will want to better himself playing at a higher level for a much better salary, this is regardless
of where we are playing we sold players at Highfield Road and Ricoh Arena too.

The club has been leaking money - it was at the Ricoh and is at Northampton. Any player at this level has a commercial worth at which point he goes.
If we get 1.5milliom plus for Wilson it is inevitable he will go, Bradford sold Nakhi Wells for about that and don't see that money going into players for Bradford?
But why let the facts get in the way of another excuse for a sisu rant!!

I do not want Wilson to go but accept due to ambition, offers, club debts he is likely to be sold, I think this would still be occuring wherever we were playing though
given our current league status.

They spent money on Aaron McLean to replace Wells

I don't think anyone us expecting the full 2 million plus to be given to SP but they do expect a portion of it to. As happened with Bradford.

SP has admitted he had too small a squad last season BTW ;)

Dongonzales we have had squad discussions before - I think even more so now we should have a maximum squad of 22 players (2 for each position ideally) including loans.
Unfortunately now at this level and given our finances a greater percentage of our back up will need to come from the academy, which may not be in the end a bad thing.

I think too unfortunately Bradford in better position than us financially, so although think some will go back into squad maybe not as much as some would hope for.
We will have to see.

Brentford are lining up a move for Coventry City striker Callum Wilson.

Mark Warburton is busy trying to bolster his squad as the Bees prepare for life in the Championship.

The Bees boss was interested in signing Marcello Trotta on a permanent basis but has turned his attention elsewhere.

And the People report the west Londoners have joined the race for in-demand Coventry star Wilson.

The 22-year-old smashed 22 goals in 41 games for the Sky Blues last season, and is also wanted by Bournemouth and Norwich City.

I never said he was great but there is some evidence the deals were available and on the table and the reason why he resigned.

I see him as just another part of the multitude of SISU failings.

It isn't a SISU rant for the sake of a SISU rant like you insinuate. Players move clubs. Always have and always will. But how long is it now since we replaced players that left? We were left with a squad not big enough last season. We were lucky that Wilson has turned out to be so good. It looks like we are going to lose just about every decent player from last season. Most of us are worried about what sort of squad we will have for next season. But if we say so we are accused of having a SISU rant as usual when pointing out facts that just about everyone agrees on.

There is no evidence we are trying to shuffle the pack and build.

We are still on this decline of just cutting back the wage bill continuously and numbers. I am all for developing our own, but in order to develop youth they need the support of some experience and quality.

There's no evidence at all, and he "resigned" about two years after these supposed deals were to have happened.
