Maybe you should read my response again. I can't see a word in it that you just said
Well that was your response to my comment Thorn did not rate him -- did not start him in 30 games and also played him out of position most of the time.

Scheme said biggi went because he was treated badly.
I said SISU will accept any offer for any player if they think it is a fair price.
You said especially if the manager does not rate the player
I said what the manager thinks about the player will not be considered by SISU.
You said something very bizarre.
...and you are avoiding the question. How could anyone justify holding onto a player the manager hardly ever considered worthy of playing in what many though was our worst side in living memory?
I am saying if we are skint and they get money for a player. As long as the manager is allowed to then use some of that money to get a couple of adequate replacements then I understand why it happens.
We lost Bigi and have picked up 5/6 midfielders.
I would prefer not to lose young talent but can see how it happens.
Are you saying if we get a bid for a player now for a million quid say baker for example who plays every week. If MR says no then SISU will reject the bid?
quite frankly, if a bid comes in for a player, he will be sold,
regardless of his real worth,
sisu, in their various guises, have never demonstrated much in the way of football nouse,
& i don't have to trot out the names of their hierarchy,
it seems to me now no better than it was 4+ yrs ago,
btw, who's on the board now
Er...no I am just pointing out that Thorn did not think he was up to much anyway - but fair enough you don't want to discuss that.
If someone came in for Baker for £1 million I would snatch their hands off by the way.
As I recall we used to buy as well as sell.
We bought Wallace, Gibson, Gillespie, Gallagher, Keane, Dublin and Huckerby.
Spot the difference?
Your embarassing yourself with that list duffy,bell,mcdonald,hussey,platt? Only westwood&keogh on that list are half decent. We're left with the shite,any player worth any money has been sold or has ran his contract down and left on a free because of sisu's lack of ambition. Infact,your ardent backing of the worst owners of this club ever over the last few weeks has just been plain embarassing on yourself.
What are you saying? We haven't signed any players for 4 years? Eastwood, Westwood, baker, bell, keogh, platt, McDonald, Norwood, carnie, Hussey etc are all products of our youth policy?
I'll try to be a little more specific for you then.
When SISU came in they had a plan. It involved buying young players who could improve the club and who would probably then be sold on at (hopefully) a profit.
It appears that you didn't notice when this plan changed. It was about the time that Hoffman resigned and we got the first of our embargoes. Since that time, the outflow of players has massively exceeded the handful of signings.
If you think that over that period things have been the same as for the previous 40 years, then I guess we'll just have to disagree.
Am missing something from the start of this season?
I hope robins is being cute but he normally speaks sense so in my mind he is thinking who can I replace him with???Got to ask what the feck any of this shite has to do with my original post...just seems if you have the right user name you can hijack any thread without fear but if you have the wrong one woe betide starting a new thread on a slightly different angle to a topic already raised......the way its going this board will need a feckin kindergarton area.

Yet perversely we are playing the best football for years.
Coventry City has always sold it's best players and unless it ever becomes a power in the Premiership it always will. SISU really are no different to previous regimes in that respect. We just have a lot less money to spend nowadays.
The fact we're also playing the worst teams we've faced since the '60s does probably help a bit Torch-irrespective it is nice to see the City dishing out a few hidings rather than losing 1-0 every week.
I absolutely agree 100%, BSB. However, in ten years in the Championship I don't really remember a spell as good as this. Also, the players we have now fit the "level" we are playing at.
Surely Eric Black's half season comes close?
Eric Black's half-a-season was good. I should really have said "best since then", of course. :facepalm:
I would also say its the best football since
These days, read the comments underneath. Then unfortunately the summer happened........

When we won 3 games out of 10 in the league? 'Brilliant'
And we didn't even win that game, I appreciate it was an improvment on what had been offered in the weeks leading up to Boothroyds sacking, but come on.
Maybe it was an over reaction to how bad it had became under Boothroyd. However I remember sitting in the stands watching us pinging it around playing with such confidence and thought thank god.
Like I say read the comments underneath I don't think I was the only one.
