I don’t disagree, and that’s kind of my point - Robins and Vivaesh have worked miracles with a style of play that’s easy on the eye. I back us to stay up easily.

We talk of the Brentford model but they sell players then spend 10m on Ivan Toney.

we’re likely to sell O’Hare for 9m, give Robins 500k at most and say “good luck with that Mark”

It's not just Toney though look at the fees spent on players such as Watkins, Jansson, Henry, Norgaard, Jota, Maupey, Benrahma in the Championship.

Their model is not only built on substantial reinvestment of prior transfer fees, but also a healthy backing from their owner. Not from the recruitment department receiving pennies on the pound from player sales or an owner extracting funds instead of investing.

I don't particularly mind Boddy. But in order to maximise our commercial revenue - which really is vital due to how the club operates/zero help from SISU - we probably could do with someone better at the helm.

The club is pretty unimaginative with its commercial strategy/finding alternative ways to raise income and it showed last season.

Seemingly the age old excuse has been a lack of staff, but as a Championship club I'm afraid that doesn't really wash with me anymore.

You will always get a SISU puppet

The Brentford owner personally invested £100m and they had a wage bill of £44 m

We see Cornet at Burnley has a 17.5 million release clause and Forest have bud 13 million just need to wait for the Mekon to complain that his players are being unsettled.

Yep. From memory he's also a Brentford fan from childhood and would reportedly lend them money - interest free - prior to physically buying the club.

It's laughable fans think we operate even remotely similar to Brentford.

Standard SBT that some posters are getting upset that Robins won’t have any money to reinvest (complete rumour) from the sale of a player we haven’t even sold.

Unfortunately mate we are having a good pre season, aren't selling our players for the first offer anymore so the usual suspects now need something else to moan about rather than accepting that maybe people at the club have learnt from their mistakes in the past and things are working a bit differently now

I’m optimistic for the season, I think our squad can cope with the loss of one of the big 3, but I think it’s a case of SISU actually learning from their mistakes

This is your area of expertise I think you’ve said, what things could the club be doing they’re currently not?

Callum O'Hare latest: Coventry City's crazy price tag revealed as Burnley rumours rumble on

Coventry City playmaker Callum O'Hare has been at the centre of transfer speculation recently, with Burnley the side chasing him.

read that article! We’ve ruffled some feathers by not giving our players away

Bit of a bizarre article. Regardless of whether the club needs to sell for its own reasons, it reads as if we have no place in placing a high price tag on our own players.

Who is on about £20m a year from the owners? Who is this person you’re arguing with?

If your business mode is developing young players for profit then yes signing young players is investment.

It was a random number thst I pulled from my area because I’d like it to be true?

Yes and we signed young players last year. And we have signed a young player this year. And we will probably sign another young player with a portion of the fee from O Hare or whoever goes (to cover the fee we didn’t get last summer)


You obviously get it you’re just being stubborn so I can’t be arsed it’s boring

Now in his second season as a permanent Coventry player, O’Hare has established himself as one of the best creative midfield players in the Championship.


A sky high valuation…

Burnley have spent their fair share of money this summer. They spent £4million on Scott Twine and that valuation alone suggests that £10million for O’Hare is a bit pricey.

O’Hare, although a very good player, is yet to take the Championship by storm and warrant a double figure price tag.

Which one is it then

I think you could argue that they seem to have a little bit with the fact the noise is they are for the first time in their ownership actually playing hardball over selling one of our players, so much so that the manager who wants the player has gone to the press to try and move it on

Obviously if it all goes to shit we are allowed to carry on the beating but at the moment the signs seem to be better (watch me curse it now 😂)

Interesting that it uses £4 million for Twine as an argument that we should want less for O'Hare. It's like Kompany wrote the piece himself

We've just had our highest finish in 16 years and I swear every day there is a new spat on here. Whether it's about owners, ticketing, how much we might invest about a transfer that hasn't happened. It's always been a mad house on here, but feel like we were generally less moany when we were losing home and away to Forest Green. Cheer up guys, we get to talk about actual football in 12 days.
