Don't think many of us saw that coming.

Some squad we have.....til January anyway!

Got nothing to lose with this one can only be a good thing.

Qualification from TM "Without anything being concrete, we are in discussions and will try to take it to January"

Has to be long term, or completely pointless having him for just a month - he was always going to need time to get up to speed.

jim20 · Nov 17, 2015

I think if he gets up to speed we need to keep him until the end of the season, along with a few others including Armstrong and Kent. If we can do that, or TM replaces them if they go in Jan with as good as or better we will have a good second half of the season as well

Interesting how it is going to work with 6 loans when Turner arrives.

Seems quite straight forward to me... either Cole will start and Bigi will miss out, or when Cole is not fit enough to start, he won't be in the squad and Bigi will be on the bench.

Possible that Cole, Bigi and Kent get rotated a bit when we have 3 games in a week, or shall I say Cole plays one game and the others play 2/3 each!

The positive to Cole's fitness is opposition managers never know if he'll be playing.

skybluetony176 · Nov 17, 2015

I heard he wanted to stay because he loves jumping jacks. Never out the place apparently

Philosoraptor · Nov 17, 2015

Keeping Cole is only good news. I don't think money has had a big part to play in this whatsoever. Tallent like that can choose which club he plays for, and I think he has. When he does finally become fit and shakes off those niggles from coming back from major injury, he is going to be a legend for us.

Can see this going longer then just January.

Kent will go back and Maddison comes back. That's got to be the plan

Astute · Nov 18, 2015

Not too bothered about what the plan is. TM has put a decent team together on a pittance. Next season if we go up he will have much more money to spend. It doesn't seem right as we are Coventry City.

skybluetony176 · Nov 18, 2015

SW must have come back for a day to sort this out. I have it on "good" authority that JC was his parting gift ointlaugh:

Fair play to the club once again, just need to get the stadium situation sorted, and dare I say it, we will be being run not to shabbily at the moment.

This season has been a step change. Hope it's not just Mowbray's influence and it's someone on the board so this continues even if TM leaves.

Sick Boy · Nov 18, 2015

Let's hope so! The club certainly showed massive ambition getting him in and retaining him, they deserve credit for that.

Nick · Nov 18, 2015

IrishSkyBlue · Nov 18, 2015

tbf, scattergun signing policy aside, I've not had much of an issue with how the club's been run (bar Northampton! and the ticketing stupidity - OK as I put this, maybe I *do* have a fair few issues with how the club's run:thinking about since Dulieu left.

Take away the elephants in the room and, even if they haven't worked out, managerial choices have been sound in Robins, Pressley and Mowbray, as has the general principle of backing a manager and keeping an academy going.

But what a free kick and great 3 points.

I think the very fact they initially recruited TM and ultimately persuaded him to re-sign indicates a change of strategy from SISU. Couple that with the fact they allowed him to create a Director of Football position and appoint his own man into it.

As the season has progressed the backing they must be providing (compare our current squad to last years) and the decision to work in the background to not distract from football matters, demonstrates further positive signs.
