Sorry lurking local cov fan again! - I scored the only goal of the game for my school at St Thomas More in Nuneaton, happy memories and if you are going to be born in Nuneaton then Whitestone is the spot for certain!! Mind you if he is "only 38" then I scored that goal about 4 years before he was born!! Had never heard the lad though not that it matters and wish him well ! |

Nope both Allen and Shipley are still in contract which as you say might prove problematic.... Bakayoko and Biamou are both out of contract and have left. |

Thank you all, it got a bit scary for a while but a good late run saw us survive relatively comfortably.
Strong recruitment and a clear plan of playing has paid dividends over the past 3 or 4 seasons. We tend to buy young not always but normally thats the aim. Shipley has a sweet left foot and would be a great signing, one small snag might be that he doesn't drive and his grandad takes him to training or certainly did a short while ago! Allen and Shipley would be superb additions as you develop. Anything less than the play offs will be failure next year. I get to a few games each year and do a little sponsorship with ITFC so have huge hopes for the future for them, a successful football club lifts the local economy and general good will.. Some good times are well overdue...
Oh yes, to be back home is lovely, shouldn't have happened once let alone twice but thankfully back where we belong and in the Championship. We've sold about 8.5k season tickets which is the most we have sold for many years, always thought how poor we were when compared to your season ticket sales.... |

Local Cov fan here in peace, just seen a couple of twitter rumours suggesting Ipswich are interested in signing Jamie Allen from us, midfielder and a decent League 1 player for certain, played 16 times plus 6 as sub for us this year in the championship. As a Cov fan but living down here I had been thinking that we had 3-4 players you ought to be showing an interest in and Allen was one of those, the others being Jordan Shipley who has played since League two for us, he has a lovely eye for goal but he has found the Championship hard work this year, not out of his depth as such but neither did he take to it that easily. The others are two forwards we are letting go, Bakayoko and Biamou, both good players but with goal scoring records that need improving, both will play their hearts out though and have been amazingly popular with the fans at Coventry.. Wish you well next season, I think you have a good man in charge and next season ought to be much brighter. |

Cov fan living down here and long time lurker on the site... It does sound horribly like the model Sisu tried to implement. At first they bought young players with a view to building them up and selling for a profit. Also of course was the aim to get promoted to the Premier League and then sell which sounds just like this plan of your new hoped for owners. The credit crunch screwed us, the owners got cold feet and we did a fire sale of players and didn't reinvest. From there it was hell on earth with two relegations, countless managers and of course playing in Northampton! We finally turned a corner with the checkatrade win and the reappointment of a management team who were finally in a small way supported in the transfer market. Whilst our owners have learnt lessons albeit we are in bloody Birmingham they remain despised by the overwhelming majority of us Sky Blues fans.. I hope to goodness your new owners are more responsible and sensibly support Cook if true with good young talent that can get you promoted bu then also see you steady the ship in the Championship before aiming higher. I really hope it all works out for you..... |
