... No doubt you'll be proud to see your tinpot club sell yet another player.

I don't think any Coventry fans went onto the Newcastle forums bragging that we sold Bigi! :facepalm:

I've never said CCFC aren't a selling club, because in reality, every club in the world is a selling club except the very elite, but, I, nor other CCFC fans, nor other clubs' fans' brag about being a selling club like Crewe, it's stupid, I weren't proud when we old: Best, Dann, Fox, Gunnarsson, Westwood (well, letting him go), Bigi, Thomas (looked like it), Keogh etc. I was angry because them leaving left gaps in the team.

He's not bragging that they are a selling club, he's bragging because Crewe have an excellent academy. They spot nurture, produce and sell talent to survive. They are a solid well run club, who have a constant supply of quality academy graduates. They sell players to sustain their club, where's the shame in that?

Much better than racking up £30m,£45m, £60m worth of debt and going into admin.....

Why does he have to come on here to say that!?

He and his fellow Crewe WUMs on here have bragged about being a selling club, compiling a list of all the players they've sold on, it's pathetic. Fair play to them etc. but we don't give a shit and SBT isn't the place for Crewe fans to spout their BS.
