Has somebody just seen that Brody was in Russia and made this up?

Quite possibly, but god I hope it's true. We simply HAVE to find investment.

ccfc_Tom · Jul 14, 2011

Wasn't he just on holiday in russia?

Lord_Nampil · Jul 14, 2011

He didn't give to much away on his vacation!

ajsccfc · Jul 14, 2011

The article starts 'Rumours abound' and then doesn't mention where the rumours are from. Slow news day?

ccfctommy · Jul 14, 2011

I swear I read on here last week or possibly the week before he was in Russia.

ajsccfc · Jul 14, 2011

He was definitely in Russia, but that's about as far as the facts go.

fanta80 · Jul 14, 2011

Lets hope russians can put correspondence on signed letterheaded paper!

samccov1987 · Jul 14, 2011

Cov mad are usually reliable and with Brody being in Russia two weeks or so ago I would imagine they would have run t story then, so there may be some truth in it. Also I notice brody hasn't been on Twitter since news of t hoff bid broke. Whether this is good news though is another matter - look at pompeys Russian investors!

ajsccfc · Jul 14, 2011

Cov Mad, reliable? It just copied whatever appears on Newsnow a few minutes late.

Actually.... cov newsnow is the last place stuff is posted as it filters from all the other sights automatically. Hence there is sometimes artivles about some ozzy teN also nicknamed sky blues.

As in it appears on newsnow a few minutes after other sources.

Another false dawn,, we cov fans love um!!!!!!!!!! be amazed if this story has any credit to it just someone trying to deflect some heat me thinks!!!!!!!

pusbccfc · Jul 14, 2011

Cov mad, in my opinion is one of the best football websites for fans, my mate who's a birmingham fan says they only put match reports on there footy mad website, in all fairness it saves you having to look around the internet cause kev monks puts it on there, I think he does a great job to tell the truth, he doesn't get the storys he puts whatever he can find in newspapers and online, fair play to him and cov mad

Sorry but the guy breaks pretty much every ethical rule in both the journalists and bloggers handbook.

He reposts others content shamelessly without credit and with skewed, sensationalist headlines designed to drive hits. He splits one CT story into 5 or 6 to increase page views. He is massively biased in every post on the site, from reports to new stories, using it basically to push his personal agenda. He posts up extremely bias polls, then posts the results as another sensationalist story in pursuit of hits. He posts unfounded rumours that he just made up as news to increase hits.

Fair play for going to every game etc. etc. great City fan, but as a journalist/blogger he's a disgrace.

Ccfc1979 · Jul 14, 2011

Couldn't agree more, Shmmeee, with every word. Nearly everything on there makes me cringe massively. I also have huge issues that the club might actually see some of that guff as the true view of normal, everyday Cov fans...which it definitely is not!!

TheParsonsHose · Jul 14, 2011

He is.a trainee CT journo wannabe

ajsccfc · Jul 14, 2011

shmmeee's knocked it out of the park there, all my issues with the site in one handy post.

JCR1987 · Jul 14, 2011

Maybe Brody was over there brokering a deal to replace Coke with Vodka for next season. God knows we're gonna need it!!

'The Russians Are Coming' - no isn't that an episode from the First Series of Only Fools and Horses??

Exactomundo! Cov Mad is just Cov Telegraph stuff repeated days later. I've seen some ridiculous stories on there.

One of the most far fetched was that the police uncovered a plot by City fans to physically remove Micky Adams from the dugout. What tosh!

He really hates poor Micky does Kev. Every article on him claims M.A bragged to City players about being a millionaire. Bollocks did he. He's a family friend and the most down to earth guy you could meet.

IrishSkyBlue · Jul 14, 2011

He prob over there sorting out the oil for the stadium when winter kicks in for the players in the dressing rooms

Monkeyface · Jul 15, 2011

So anyway, this Russian investment...

Bertola · Jul 15, 2011

It was also Cov mad that broke the Joe cole on loan story. Bless

Snozzer · Jul 15, 2011

Absolutely nothing in this one

Snozzer is a good source of info, so if he says that there is nothing in this story, there is almost certainly nothing in this story.

Monkeyface · Jul 15, 2011

Seeing as you're here Snozzer, and seem to be in the know. Is there anything positive to look forward to, on the Sky Blue front?

I'm usually Mr Optimistic, but just feel rather flat with regards to the City, please cheer me up!!!

Chipfat · Jul 15, 2011

I think the general feeling around is gloom and the people i talk to are losing interest very quickly. I cant see anyone investing in Sisu they have had 3 years and loses are getting bigger so investors no,, buy out is the only way. The only problem is Sisu want big money to walk and until they get it will run this club into the ground...

ccfctommy · Jul 15, 2011

Don't really get all the Cov Mad hate on here, theres stuff thats worth a good readand for me it is the first port of call for City news rather than all the crap you fing on the CT website. I like reading the match reports aswell.

Snozzer · Jul 15, 2011

Nothing of much substance to report. If I was gambling, at this stage I think it's more likely that SISU will remain in control and their own hunt for investment continues. Sorry nothing very positive there but the position could change of course. That's just my feeling based on what I know so far. One point of minor interest, am told that the training ground is a far happier place than it's been in a long time ie. Since the moving on of some quite big personalities shall we say?

Yes odd that our play off push started to falter when king became a regular
