Agree to an extent but plenty of clubs have done great business. Sunderland a particular example. Geldhart on loan from Leeds , Lihadji from Lille and Pierre Ekwah from West Ham all fantastic signings.
Yes we're due a huge overhaul in the summer and maybe it is a case of tread water until then but our window has been very poor IMO. Our only permanent signing a player who can't get into Preston's matchday squad despite being fit...

I generally agree, but surely losing your recruitment chap doesn't mean all knowledge goes? I mean, surely before he went he and Robins would have had the occasional chat, so Robins would be clued up about who could come in to his liking?In all seriousness I keep saying it but it keeps being true: we had our recruitment team ripped from us just before the window and don’t even have a team at the moment, just one man. It was never going to be big investment off that, both Robins and King seem the types to want to do their homework before investing significant amounts. It’s frustrating but the proof of the pudding really is summer.

As said, not disagreeing with the general point, but do think we overstate the recruitment loss. If we were missing one medium-long term, then maybe...
Sounds like someone coming in and he’s out of contract at the end of the season.“We’ve got plates spinning. But we will see. Essentially we’re done this window, unless the one falls that we’re waiting for.
“Whether that’s now or the summer, it doesn’t make much difference, but we will see.”

we need him available for free for it to happen now

In Dave Boddy's last program notes he said we had retained the database which hadn't been the case historically.Seems like the recruitment department is starting from scratch again, we’ve had this for years.. Pressley spoke about the recruitment department leaving and taking the database with them, and procedures were being put in place to stop it happening.
One would have thought that any intellectual property would belong to the club? Robins in this window is giving us a bit of depth, the big drive will be in the summer which you cant argue against. He must think we are Ok for the rest of the season, thats when King will have to put his hand in his pocket. Thats when you will know what the future is going to look like under his tenure.Seems like the recruitment department is starting from scratch again, we’ve had this for years..

He didn’t say we had the password thoughIn Dave Boddy's last program notes he said we had retained the database which hadn't been the case historically.
PUSB: 'From The Board' versus Norwich City
After each matchday programme this season, we publish the regular column from the Coventry City board on our website. You can read Coventry City Chief Executive Dave Boddy's column from our game against Norwich City below:www.ccfc.co.uk
I think it's Robins trying to encourage the side to let him go now so they can save wages rather than expecting a transfer fee from usSounds like an u21 to me ‘doesn’t really matter if we get him in now or in the summer’. If it was a player to have a first team impact it would matter

I don’t think for a minute Dean Austin is working from scratch, he’s been in the game for ever and at a high level he will have his own contacts. We are looking to be in the high championship and one day hopefully premier league level in my opinion Austin is a much needed step up from Badlan.Seems like the recruitment department is starting from scratch again, we’ve had this for years..

Intriguing, Robins as usual keeping his cards close to his chest. Sounds this one would be a permanent addition.“We’ve got plates spinning. But we will see. Essentially we’re done this window, unless the one falls that we’re waiting for.
“Whether that’s now or the summer, it doesn’t make much difference, but we will see.”
I have heard this player who we are waiting on is a top player. Don't have any names though. We will see. This is the start of our march to the Premiership. Expecting the Summer to be spectacular on the transfer front.
If that’s correct I’d expect if possible Robins will get him in asap or risk losing out.I have heard this player who we are waiting on is a top player. Don't have any names though. We will see.
