We have 2 young goalkeepers. 1 is ours and 1 isn't, yet we play the 1 that isn't ours? Seems stupid to me that we are developing someone else's player whilst our own is sat on the bench. It's not like Allsop is saving us points/games.
Thats what I don't get. Unless we've made some agreement to take him permanently as he's not significantly better than our own player why are we developing his game for someone elses benefit?
Don't think any of them are any good we need experience like a murphy or I would take paddy kenny
The question must be asked why allow an established experienced keeper like Joe Murphy, who wanted to stay, go, and despite having over 3 million in transfer fees in the bin not signing a regular goalie. The one position you must nail down in any team is goalkeeper.

We didn't let him go, he wanted to go - he's chosen to take championship wages to go and sit on the bench. We can't afford to pay championship wages whilst in league one. And we know full well they the Wilson money has been used to cover operating losses.

That is simply not true. Show me a quote where he said that he wanted to leave.We didn't let him go, he wanted to go - he's chosen to take championship wages to go and sit on the bench.

Would that be the same Waggott that some are calling for to be knighted?Take it from me like Carl Baker Murphy wanted to stay, sisu never offered him a contract and that's fine if the manager wanted to change the goalie for someone else. My question was why haven't we signed a goalkeeper on a permanent basis, In my opinion the most important position in the team despite having money from in coming transfers and Waggott did say when Callum Wilson was sold that money would be invested on the pitch.

I would like to see us bring in an experienced keeper
Pressley wanted him to stay. He chose championship wages.
Sky Blues boss Steven Pressley confirms goalkeeper Joe Murphy has engaged in talks elsewhere
Coventry City boss Steven Pressley has confirmed that out-of-contract Sky Blues goalkeeper Joe Murphy has been in talks elsewhere regarding his future.
The Republic of Ireland international is coming to the end of his current contract with Coventry City and, following recent media reports speculating about a potential move to Championship side Huddersfield Town, Pressley confirmed Murphy was holding talks regarding the 2014/15 season and beyond.
Pressley said: "I'm obviously aware that Joe has been in talks as he will soon be out of contract with us but to this point I understand that has been no contracts agreed or signed.
"Joe has been exceptional for this football club, both in terms of his form and level of appearances, and obviously I would like to see him stay here.
"By the same token, we are also aware that Championship football brings with it Championship wages and we would be unlikely to be able to compete with that.
"However, we still would like the opportunity to make a case for him to remain with us. I know he enjoys being here, he is highly respected and his performances have attracted a great deal of credit so ultimately it will come down to how Joe sees the next stage of his career."

And.....
Resigned to losing Murphy, City’s development director Steve Waggott said: “Joe was one of the Championship players in our squad who had a reasonably good deal at the club, so I think he and his agent are looking at other options and seeing if they are more attractive than staying another year or so with us.”
It's quite clear to me that we wanted to keep him, but couldn't afford to continue to pay his reported £8k a week wage.
You can argue that he said he wanted to stay, mark robins said he had sky blue blood. When you offer a new contract the terms are usually improved terms and kick in straight away - this is why no contract was agreed and offered before the end of the season, he was never going to agree to a 50%+ pay cut whilst his current contract was in place, it was never going to be settled until the end of the season. He chose championship money.

You seem to be missing out the most important part. We didn't offer him a new contract. He even came out and said that he was prepared to accept less money. It is quite difficult to accept something that isn't offered. Or was he supposed to play for free?
We have all been mesmerised by the return to the Ricoh. We forget how we have sold and freed up wages of best, Clarke, Wilson, baker, Murphy, christy, mcgoldrick etc and not one penny has been invested in the team.
sisu have pocketed all this money for their shareholders and put no investement in the team.
We were only paying mcgoldrick £2k per week, and he wasn't our player, Wilson and christie were on peanuts and Ffs best left years ago, we've had plenty of player come in since then.
We have been losing £4-7m a year for years, even in our last season at the Ricoh we lost £7m that year. They haven't been pocketing money.

And you mention the players from last season - how many signing have we made this season? Do those players no get paid? Not had signing on fee's? Not had to pay clubs a loan fee? Agents fee's? We also had to pay baker off.

Yes.But only a total mong would still say they are pocketing money.
It's the affordable option. You talk about their incompetence in running a club but think they should break the bank to pay for a keeper. Not one of the defeats this season is attributable to Allsop.Wages mate wages. With Shitzu it is all about getting the cheapest option:blue:
