    Transfer targets

    I think it's actually 12 if you include the loans returning to their parent clubs. Then when Gyokeres is sold that'll be 13. Granted not all of those exiting the club will need to be replaced but we need 6-7 in the defence alone in order to fill gaps.

    Season Tickets!!!

    Pretty impressive 9000 have sold already, especially when hospitality tickets/boxes are yet to be released.

    Transfer targets

    Not saying really we don't. I'm saying the more signings we look to make the chances of it going wrong increases which is why I've long been concerned about this window. With more signings needed to be brought in the likelihood that they're not the club's primary targets increases, meaning the...

    Gyokeres

    On the face of it, no. But if there are multiple genuinely interested parties which are keen then he'll go for more than £15m. Personally I think Sporting Lisbon, a club that traditionally doesn't spend a great deal on players, coming in with the fee they have early in the window puts in the...

    Transfer targets

    True, but there's little chance of Robins having the scope to sign that many players in one window. 11 is already an extremely tall order IMO with the resource and budget available.

    Transfer targets

    That would leave us incredibly thin. 12 players out + Gyokeres for 6-7 to come in would be nothing short of alarming.

    Transfer targets

    Loan would be difficult as there would be an expectation of playing time - really need to be brought in as a starter. I think if you brought in two main strikers with perhaps a young Tavares equivalent it would work. I don't really think the club will have the capacity to bring in 13...

    Transfer targets

    I was thinking perhaps Robins might be looking at an AM but I'd imagine at best it would be a 6 month loan with O'Hare coming back later on this year and with Palmer and Allen able to fill those spots in the short term. But as you say it depends what formation Robins prefers as we'll need...

    Transfer targets

    I think we'll need another 10-11 signings. GK, X2 RWB, LWB?, X4 CB, CM, X2 ST I'd imagine a chunk of those will be made up of frees and loans which will be more or less covered by the club's outgoings and 3 maybe 4 will require fees which will require external investment.

    Transfer targets

    I think there's an expectation that money will be reinvested, which it of course will be in some shape or form, but the level of expectation is difficult to gauge really. Regardless, the notion that Robins will receive anything above 25% of the Gyokeres fee in particular to reinvest back into...

    How much did we get for Wembley?

    I think from memory 3% of total gate receipts is taken to cover this.

    How much did we get for Wembley?

    + what ever the club received for sponsorship and merchandise.

    Attendances next season

    Yeah I just think marketing to a niche is IMO is pointless in this context as you're unlucky to generate any kind of ROI. In order to cultivate momentum and consumer recall you'd have to occupy multiple billboards in strategic places throughout the area pretty much all year. Equally I think...

    Attendances next season

    This is one area that the club seemingly has consistently failed miserably at capitalising upon. Given there's nearly 60k students between Coventry and Warwick Uni, more effective collaboration is needed to entice students to games. Same applies with the local colleges too. The odd billboard...

    How much did we get for Wembley?

    Would be pretty nominal in the grand scheme of things but yes the club undoubtedly would've seen an increase last month in merchandise sales.

    Transfer targets

    In all fairness while he often spouts rubbish he probably isn't all that wrong. I'd imagine a significant proportion of the Gyokeres fee will be set aside for investing into infrastructure and to cover operational costs for the forthcoming season. Then you have to factor in whatever monies are...

    How much did we get for Wembley?

    At most it would've gotten the club through May and part of June without King having to bridge losses I'd imagine as with the last league home game being at the end of April it essentially would've had no revenue coming through the door without the PO run. So while it wouldn't have made a...

    How much did we get for Wembley?

    There'll be TV money and sponsorship needed to be factored in as well. Difficult to gauge how much the club would've received for the latter.

    How much did we get for Wembley?

    I'd need to check the regs but I vaguely remember reading that the EFL take 50% for a pool account.
