    Summer transfer window 2024

    I can't remember if we negotiated with Sporting to pay the bonuses already to Brighton for the first transfer? Either way, I think it's already less than people realise particularly with Gyokeres because people often forget it's EUR not GBP 🤣 . If you assume the Brighton % is 10% then you'd...

    Summer transfer window 2024

    No - it's capital gain. Meaning we've already received 24M (hence the reduction from 15% to 10%). So - assuming Sporting sell him for 100M - that would be a capital gain of 76M so a kickback of 7.6M EUR to Coventry or about 6.4M GBP. The reduction from 15% to 10% means we've already received...

    New Assistant Manager

    So I think the conclusion is - Doug is risking his own money, or those of his own investors. He's appointed himself CEO to oversee this investment. He's accountable to his own bank account and / or investors and that means he has plenty of skin in the game. The idea he walks away unscathed if...

    New Assistant Manager

    He owns the club, who said anything about him walking? Do you think he's incentivised to get the club relegated?

    Injuries

    Sounds to me like we are ramping up pre-season pretty well. I'm not sure how Torp / Rapha got injured but Sheaf & Wright were both knocks, right? Not a lot you can do about knocks in terms of avoidance. I suppose there's an argument that the Getafe game in particular was unecessarily testy...

    New Assistant Manager

    In this context, Doug is the manager. He owns ultimate responsibility because he owns the club. Modern football clubs do not have the first team manager responsible for all strategy and hiring. Look at it this way - when Robins leaves, there should be a much smarter structure in & around the...

    Summer transfer window 2024

    Everything I've heard about Jay Stansfield would imply he's a good lad. He is the son of an Exeter City legend Adam Stansfield and is very much idolised there - he returned there on loan from Fulham. Exeter are a really great family run club with the right ideals. All that said - absolutely no...

    Updated iFollow

    The iOS app for me was broken and is no longer on the App Store. When I asked iFollow they said that the club will be notifying us that the app is available. Unsure if that means iFollow or a club specific app will be the way. I already renewed my iFollow season ticket so hoping they get this...

    Something happening at the club that's very different

    Someone should do a timeline of all of the eras with these ridiculous names. Right now I think we're in our "join the journey" era.

    Summer transfer window 2024

    Nothing new has actually been said in that article so I think the comments here still stand: https://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/viktor-moving-on.160292/post-3075296 I'd be more convinced if Fabrizio was running his mouth, but nobody even vaguely credible is saying anything definitive.

    Callum O'Hare

    If it was anything close to that (I know nothing about the MLS) that would presumably be his signing on fee and wages combined as well as possibly some other commercial / sponsorship things. I'm not sure there's any precedent for Championship level players moving for that sort of money...

    Team Spirit

    To be fair, much as I love COH I'd imagine he doesn't leave a lot of room for anyone else to talk because he's such a hyper dude. Losing some of the big loud folks allows room for other people to get involved. You can't tell me Rudoni with his bleached blond mop hasn't got scope to say some...

    Team Spirit

    I've thought about this a bit, too. Naturally, a new personality and bond will be formed when new players join and especially when "big personalities" leave. Yes, character is great - but lets not be revisionist here - for all the comebacks there have also been really awful performances from...

    In the thread: undiagnosed anxiety disorders and summer boredom.

    Summer transfer window 2024

    Sure but quality / potential is improving with the replacements. With the exception of COH, there's nobody that's really "regrettable". There will be more signings but so far so good.

    Have We A Plan B ?

    There was never any real foundation to any of the speculation - it's all been quiet for months from reputable sources. I am sure this wasn't "Plan A" to begin with.
