Why no official news yet.
Big how though? Not in budget, maybe not in crowd size, (and even with 8k it's in a 75% empty stadium that we've only got a year left in). We're big in terms of history and potential, neither of which a league 2 footballer that we've offered a 1 year contract to is going to give a flying fuck about. A 250 quid win bonus (not ridiculously tied into promotion) on top of a 500 basic salary is the difference between 26k and 30k a year for just 16 wins in the season. League 2 is all about the now, not the past or future.Regardless of salary of club situation, Coventry are still a massive fish in the League 2 pond.
In fact, I doubt there are many biggish clubs in as low of a position than us.
We're not as unattractive as a lot of people are making out.

That might work if we offering the same money as another club in our league. But at the end of the day it won't matter how big a club you think we are if the player can get more money elsewhere.
You also have to remember Sisu only see CCFC as a small club. Why else would they be looking at us playing at the Butts or Nuneaton. I'm sure players will be banging Sisu's door down to play in those dream theatre's
It's 5 grand a year! If you're earning the average L2 40k, that's still a sizeable sum. And Tim's publicly declared we're only top 8 budget so effectively relying on a miracle to get back into League 1.I was looking at it from the other side really.
Just suppose you are a pretty good conference player. CCFC come knocking and say, 'Do you wanna help us get back into League 1?'.
I might be wrong, but I think the extra £100 a week Forest Green would offer them wouldn't go as far as people may think.

I know, I've been a right misery guts today! We were (rightly!) scathing of Mowbray last year. I'm still concerned how much harder his and now Robin's transfer window will be made by SISUs management of the finances - I fear cashflow and the poorly marketed release of season ticket prices could really undermine what he's trying to do.Damn it. I was only trying to raise some optimism around here!

Probably because as we were down near the bottom, he wanted that clause!Why the fuck did we put a clause in Beavons contract given we signed him on an 18 month deal whilst completely adrift bottom of the league? May as well of took the cash and had him on loan.
Can we please invoice the CET for lifting guesses off here and posting them as published articles?
Completely wide of the mark from that amatuer establishment. No wonder they get so much abuse.
As for the retained list, it looks dreadful. Now a bit less optimistic for next season.
One player ain't a squad, and doesn't mean conference clubs can offer more.
What that means is they want one player more than we do.
You're saying this club will have a bigger overall budget than us for players next season, and that's typical of Conference clubs as a whole?Its not one.
You dont trust mark robins?
So in other words:assuming no sales and everyone signs

It's not that I don't trust him at this point, I think the jury is just out until the end of the transfer window.

RCC
AN Other, AN Other, AN Other, AN Other
AN Other, AN Other,
AN ther, AN Other, Jones, Reid

I'm still waiting on the "official" list. This "The Coventry Telegraph understands" cover-all means they have no confirmed info from Robins, and they may just have asked the tea lady about who's bought a tea or gone straight for the vodka (or read speculation on here).
