    I take your point but very few were celebrating the arrival of Bakayoko.

    Duggins

    I’ve known him for years. He’s a top bloke and a genuine City fan. We have very different views about the cause of our current distress - and frequently cross swords on twitter and fb over what constitutes “facts” and “proof” - but I can vouch for him being someone who really cares abt the...

    Right.... The Stadium of Light meanwhile holds up to 49,000.

    8th signing incoming?

    Can anyone explain why Sunderland’s crowds plummeted for the play-offs? Lots of empty space for the first leg semi against Portsmouth (41k a few weeks earlier in the league vs them, 26k for the playoffs) and didn’t sell their allocation for the Wembley final.

    Transfer Rumour Gary Bannister

    One of the dozens of promising yoof from the Milne/ Sexton era of development. Was loved by many during his first spell and there was disquiet when he left. However if you look up his record in that time it was pretty underwhelming. Dropped down a division and scored 20+ goals a season for...

    FMC Online

    On the second point. I bought an egg timer shirt off FMC the quality, look and price of which is streets ahead of the licensed replica versions the club was selling a few years back. Would have liked the club to have arranged some sort of deal with FMC for replica-retros under licence but not...

    Pressley Speaks

    Really interesting watching that back. At the time my sympathies were with Pressley (it was after the FA Cup defeat to Worcester) but looking at it now it’s easy to see he was a dead man walking after this.

    Video Bryan Richardson Interview | Arrival and Early Days

    Of course you’re right. I heard this on a radio programme with Dublin as guest. Maybe Dublin was speaking of his new contract negotiations rather than when he first joined?

    Video Bryan Richardson Interview | Arrival and Early Days

    Dublin said that when he signed for Cov, Richardson showed him a model of the sliding roof/sliding pitch arena that we would be moving to “soon”!

    Video Bryan Richardson Interview | Arrival and Early Days

    That individual investors (usu G Robinson iirc) bought players and cd take a share of the profits if they moved one for higher fees. My understanding is it’s the sort of scheme that got West Ham in so much trouble with the Tevez signing. I’ll dig around for some references to it...

    Yes but that was also the model that brought in the three players in your username. None of H, D or W arrive at Coventry without the Newmarket scheme he Introduced.

    Dave Busst

    So that would be the “home” dressing now then - after Wasps commandeered the one we used in 2014?
