It was only really Bellamy that didnt work out... If we'd have got Hartson in at the first opportunity, we may even have gotten away with that

Wasn't there a rumour going round at the time that Kirkland bottled it and basically refused to go on, leaving Strachan stuck? WGS gets a lot of stick for the way it ended here, but he built two brilliant teams, only to have them sold from underneath him... He was only an uncharacteristic error...

My brother sent this in our group chat. Really interesting video behind our Kit designs this season. Interestingly the head of Hummel UK mentions working with us on new kits... Hopefully that's a good sign of things to come

Any names?

Happy with the signing, but concerned that we could field a back 5 made up entirely of young loanees. If there was an option to buy at the end of the deal I'd be happy

I was thinking this yesterday, its definitely been hit and miss. I'd say Maatsen and Clarke-Salter were successes last year though

Back Home? Huddersfield? We've clearly recalled Waghorn

I wasn't suggesting that we offer 5 year contracts, just an increase in the budget for that long, to give us a little security... Obviously you can reduce that security for more of a gamble, that would depend on the risk appetite of Doug and Robins

I'd forgotten about the EFL loan, but just wanted to highlight that even selling at £18m... the budget wouldn't get a huge increase

I fear that we may need to sell both Vik and Gus this summer (O'Hare likely to stay due to his injury)... but then we really need to be proactive in terms of identifying their replacements, as not only do we need to improve the squad, we'd need to replace two of our most important players

Lets say we sell Vik for the reported £18m. Brighton likely to have a sell on between 10% and 20% of Profit - lets call it £2.5m £3m into club infrastructure (training ground etc) £1.5m to cover increased rent costs for a few years £3m as a transfer kitty leaves £1m a year additional wage...

How do we increase budget without increasing revenue? We're one of the cheapest season tickets in the league... so you'd imagine they will go up... but if we limp through till the end of this season, then fans excitement is going to wane and season ticket sales will likely drop. We really need...

I'm really concerned about the rebuild needed in the summer. A new and untested recruitment department, needing to rebuild a brand new squad. Could be horrendous

Yeah, I seem to remember they did us a favour and allowed us to sign him on an emergency loan so he could play in his first game due to the registration deadlines.

I thought he spoke preddy well. His answers well-reasoned, and no stupid promises etc. The proof will be in the pudding, but a decent first impression

It suits me better, but moving it 6 days from the original date doesn't seem the most customer friendly decision

Didn't it start from this? https://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/transfer-news/coventry-city-transfers-jamie-paterson-25901496

Theres new documentation on Companies house. Looks like Doug has taken over Otium, and set up a new company Covcityco Ltd. People cleverer than me will be able to decipher what everything means

I'd say it's safe to assume that's where Bidwell will play on Saturday with Panzo out

There was Everton scouts there last night. The one we spoke to was a right miserable old bugger
