Sutton link formed (1 Viewer)

Coventry City connect with club that inflicted worst defeat in Sky Blue history

Seems a good idea. Can send out players for experience and I assume get first option on any promising players Sutton have. The Widdrington factor again playing a huge part.

SHOWS HOW FAR WE'VE FALLEN!

Nor did we when Slade was in charge!

Good idea, usually it would be Nuneaton as they are local but I guess we will still have links with them. It isn't a bad thing to actually have good links with other clubs where we can send out our youngsters and potentially buy their good players and get first dibs on them.

In a few years from now, they could well be sending their youngsters to us and getting the pick of our best players

At one point we sort of joined up with Inter Milan to become a partner and exchange youth players to gain experience...now it's Sutton United.

We'll probably get more benefit from the Sutton one, and plus they won't yoink Robbie Keane away from us and crush dreams.

What's their stadium like and what's it worth?

 

[capel & collindridge]

But with Inter, weren't we the senior partners?

that could have flourished if he had stayed in prem!

for now this is cool though. Bilmau is easily the best cov striker of all time so more like him will be welcome

Good move. Conference is, give or take, a similar standard to League 2, plus you can't underestimate the importance of a change in environment for youngsters (as opposed to going out to Nuneaton and still being around the Cov area, living at home etc).

Could not agree more. It's part of the loan learning experience being away from home, friends and family.

Yes we would all like to be up the pecking order and have links with strong European clubs but for where we are this seems a positive move and will help develop some of our youngsters. Good move for both clubs.
