I hope so, I've always liked him and he has a soft spot for us too it seems. Walrus Waggott needs to pull his finger out before someone else snaps him up as per usual. 2 from Madine, Jackson, Nouble and Miller would do me. Fuck Tudgay off and do not renew McQuoid's deal in Jan. We just don't seek to be learning our lesson on the contractual front. The number of players out of contract next summer can't be doing much for morale in the camp.
Back to the subject in question, I think once Madine gets his 1st, there'll be no stopping him!

Hopefully not literally....like Noel Whelan did in Leamington

Our 1st choice forward line of Madine & Nouble may be gone by Jan 1st - not wanting to be deliberately negative but realistic, if Madine does well it will generate interest from clubs with money like McGoldrick's 4 month loan period did. More chance Nouble will stay but Ipswich may want to sell and there lies a problem we are owned by SISU who don't buy players as would rather fund court costs.

Well my cynical thinking is that Madine may stay because Nouble won't be.

SP did say yesterday that he did not like having loan players and if he could get the ones he wants to keep on full time he would.

I don't think those running our club have any intention of signing players on decent contracts, either from an earnings point of view or length of. Someone with any value will use us as a shop window and go where they are paid the most as with McGoldrick, that's what agents are there for. We need a change of policy on how our club is run.

Apologies, it was nothing to do with the squad but mostly to do with another one of your whiny, boring posts slagging off the Club.

Tochy I'm sure you're a Nescafe man and are very familiar with the handshake
Team v Crewe March 2014
Of the matchday squad of 18 - only 5 remain I doubt Eccleston Prutton Fonz Robinson cost the club much to play - it was all done on the cheap whilst spouting about youth development. The signs are that summer 2015 will see loads more through the revolving door.
Coventry City: Murphy (c), Adams (Marshall 75), Webster, Seaborne, Clarke, Willis, Thomas (Eccleston 64), Prutton, Moussa (Baker 49), Robinson, Wilson
Subs: Burge (GK), Haynes, Delfouneso, Christie

Of course, it's done on the cheap. We were at Sixfields with shit crowds. Now we are at the Ricoh with shit crowds. It would be the same if I lost my job then I'd have to start selling all my lovely precious vinyl to pay the bills.
It's not really that difficult, since moving to the Ricoh our clubs' fortunes have plummeted. While SISU obviously take the lions share of the blame there are other factors too, a big one for me is the Ricoh itself. And now, after a year of fans clamouring for us to be back they can't be arsed to turn up. Again, some of that is down to SISU obviously, but fans need to take responsibility too. We can't bleat about "free signings and kids" when we don't get the crowds to generate income so we can sign better players. Chicken and egg, vicious circle, call it what you will.

OK I think Madine could fire us into a play off place, he would cost a fee of approx £200k as contract runs out with Sheff Wed in the summer- do you think SISU would speculate on this, bigger crowds due to winning football etc.. I think we all know the answer The transfer fees from Leon & Callum are funding losses that they have exacerbated

Now I think Madine would be a very good signing. He seems keen too which is a bonus, so yeah. I agree too with the fees from C and W, though obviously all players need to be paid and so do the bills. And we're back to the crowds again; if we are not generating revenue then we need to dip into our "savings", i.e. transfer fees received.

Some of the rubbish players that we have had to endure and they wonder why crowds are so low, both Prutton & Anton Robinson have failed to find other clubs since being released Ecclestone 4 games for Partick, Tudguy looks another shocker.

Again, I agree. It's the vicious circle thing again though, isn't it? Occasionally we will be a fantastic freebie like Moussa and Clarke and O'Brien (I think he was free), but most of the time they won't be keepers.

Unfortunatley we all know that after 7 traumatic years, SISU won't put any investment into players. They only invest in court cases which thankfully they lose.

200k, really ?. I would suggest they would take a lot less than that.

So investment in terms of wages and the transfer fee's they paid for Barton, Fleck, among others, isn't considered? Okay.

I'd agree. I imagine sheff we'd just want him off their wage bill so the Biggest stumbling block will be what wages he's on and what we can afford to pay him. Not sure if he means next seasons play offs.......

I guess Sheff Weds want rid of him, he is trouble.
Doesn't mean he has any long term future here, just a one night in a nightclub could scupper any chance of contract..

Torchy, All football fans are the same--they pay a lot of money to support their team and want to see good entertainment and the chance
of success. When they see there idols shipped out for a happorth of tar and no inward investment then the interest begins to wane.Please
do not blame the fans for not supporting the worst owners in CCFC's long and proud history.

Why Not it is easy to pick on the fickle Coventry fans the worst in the world.
everyone's fault bar the culprits of all this, Current and past owners.

Rubbish I got made redundant in July, I receive £75.00 job Seekers allowance pay nearly a third of my allowance to attend a Coventry City games.
We have apparently got millionaire owners who have already sold off everything they can and can't be bothered to invest a penny of it but go on blame the fans it is all our fault.
