What a stupid comment with no foundation or evidence to support that.
Yes Jordan isn't better than Christie, but he is good enough to at least to be playing in League 1 and would be an asset if we kept him.
not surprised with jordan clarke,never good enough,only dumb cov fans could think he was good enough
No don't think so.. I am trying to scramble the brain as to why Pressley would get rid of Clarke, but I can't unless he feels he has a player in the academy who he feels could be potentially better than what Clarke is..
Other than Clarke, there are no real surprises.

Aaron Phillips?

yeh just like he was good enough for the championship right?
i mean look at you robo, your scrambling for reasons why pressley may have let him go, but you havnt once thought that maybe the football manager doesnt think clarke is a good football player
i am happy, hes never filled me with confidence and even if we replace him with a 15 year old he cant be much worse.
I don't know why the same people are talking about relegation, all of the players we want to get rid of are substitutes at best, name me one starter who's been asked to leave?
Erm Jennings and Edge. We aren't going to have Bailey again this year, nor Martin so both of those would start the season for us.
Jennings played 39 times last season in the league, Edj 33 according to wiki. I'd bet that most of those were starts too rather than sub appearances.

Absolutely no way!! Jordan is a good full back and although Christie is a better defender I would have kept Jordan as cover. Jordan struggled early on last season, but to say JC was a liablility is way off the mark!!
Potential? We are talking about someone who is 21 years old (Still young!), has played 82 times for City, has been capped at England U19 and U20 level's, if Jordan was not going to be a starter ahead of Christie, Jordan should have been kept at least as a back up full back in that position!
This is the wrong decision from Pressley and I don't know what thought process he went through to get to this decision...
overall just not quite good enough.. to be honest i think his confidence had gone a bit too.. maybe je will go somewhere else, with a fresh start and become a better player, with a bit more confidence.. i hope he does
To be fair, you did say Cody McDonald would get hero status due to his goals, so we all make mistakes.
once again show me the post,dont make things up
what i said was i think cody can score goals in league one, he didnt get a chance at cov so we STILL dont know do we?
i still stand by that too, he jsut dont fit 1 upfront system at cov.
i probably do make mistakes,but this aint one of them.
Being Pressley's decision if the Manager believe's Jordan isn't good enough then that his decision, but I can't see the benefit of putting him up for transfer not just because of his Footballing ability, but also for the experience and depth in the squad, we are now less than six weeks away from the season kicking off, we have yet signed no players, we are still in Admin and could be for a month possibly, which if so reduces our options because at which point many targets would have signed for different clubs, no player we bring may have benefitted from any type of Pre Season training so is likely to be unfit and there is no incentive for any player to want to join us right now, we are best utilising the squad we have because if the FL say Otium don't pass the test kiss goodbye for City being able to sign players this summer..
I still don't 'get' Nando's. It's not good enough to count as a proper restaurant and service is way too slow and semi-manual to count as fast food. All hype.
I personally don't think so, SP made it clear that he wanted to cut the 1st team squad to 25, in a team that had 35, there were going to be casualties, and if you look at the players who have been told can leave, none of them are starters under SP, Jennings and Clarke I was genuinely shocked about, so FFP might have been a factor for them (only speculating), but the rest, I think are a drain on what little resources we have as I don't hint they are either: good enough, or worth their wage.
This however, does confirm that Thorn's transfer policy was a failure, the only 2 players se to survive are Fleck and Barton, and as much as I am a fan of the 2, Fleck in particular, I'm obliged to say the jury is still out on them.
YEH AND HE DIDNT PLAY
my whole prediction was based on cody macdonald playing games for coventry city.
hes not gonna score from bench is he? lmao
So you were wrong then.
have to agree to disagree im afraid.. i guess thats what makes sport, and football in particular, such a great game ot debate.. some of us see one thing, some us another
Regarding christie.. i alwasy thought the strength to his game was actually is pace on the attack & his ability to cross a ball, rather than his defending .. i mean hes a decent defender for sure.. but his game is more about the attack side of things for me. where as again, and i dont want to be overly critical of the lad here, but clarke couldnt cross for toffee 90% of the time! and he certainly couldnt go past people like christie does.. he'd get down the wing sometimes & even beat his man occasionally.. and then he'd whack it straight into the first defender in the box..
overall just not quite good enough.. to be honest i think his confidence had gone a bit too.. maybe je will go somewhere else, with a fresh start and become a better player, with a bit more confidence.. i hope he does
Jennings was dreadful for the most part - plenty were wondering how he kept Thomas out of the side. Don't get me started on Edge.
Jack Griffin, is it fundamentally wrong to cut the wage bill? Yes or no will suffice.
Look at Grandison, found his feet at Shrewsbury and now Champ clubs are offering him deals.
technically wrong on a pre season prediction, correct on a detailed player review
yeh ill take that everytime
i pity those who watch players week in/out and cant judge them properly. im not perect but i am close, ill have to live with it.
Its fundamentally wrong to slash crowds by moving away from Coventry thereby forcing huge salary reductions because the major income stream, ticket sales, will become a pale shadow of what it should be.
Good enough for me, we are getting there. Let's move on
Oh come on, he has been told to cut 50% of the wages.. he is between a rock & a hard place.
As it stands this is a bottom third squad, that is what the foreseeable future holds.
