Coventry City
Reliable journo from The Telegraph, John Percy, released a story earlier today that Coventry are in talks with Walsall about a ground share and also confirmed that they are in another transfer embargo.
Surely, if VK wanted O’Hare that badly a deal can now be struck early in January. Can’t think of any reason O’Hare wouldn’t fancy it himself and Coventry clearly need the money.

Re: Coventry City
Well, that would be up to the manager….
There’s nobody else like O’Hare in our team currently. He’s a proper no 10. A player like him would certainly help to break down stubborn teams who defend with such a low block like a few have already this season (like Reading yesterday).
Re: Coventry City
Did we sign Twine before or after we kept going back in for O’Hare? As Twine also looks like a number 10.

Before

He bagged a great assist for them yesterday.

No surprises if VK goes back in for him then.

Re: Coventry City
Is O'Hare back and playing yet?
Plus, do we really need him?

The type of assist in the middle of the park we’ve been crying out for at times
Guess it depends on the fitness of Twine / Churlinov

Re: Coventry City
Another club shafted by chancer directors who had only personal gain in their minds
It started way back selling Highfield Rd and has declined since with the club very badly mismanaged with a series of very poor business decisions. Loyal supporters who deserve better, ground share with Walsall, you couldn't make it up

Re: Coventry City
Given the number of ST holders at Cov if they do end up at Walsall it’s going to be a big problem as I do believe the number of ST holders is greater than the Bescot’s capacity

Re: Coventry City
Yeah they've got an embargo because of money owed to HMRC (at least partially due to them missing the income from those 3 cancelled home games at the start of the season).Jakubs Tash wrote: ↑Sun Oct 30, 2022 5:19 pmReliable journo from The Telegraph, John Percy, released a story earlier today that Coventry are in talks with Walsall about a ground share and also confirmed that they are in another transfer embargo.

It looks like Wasps RU club has a possible buyer (from the administrator) but seems the bid is just for the rugby team and not inclusive of the stadium.
Who would want that actual stadium though? There are other facilities attached but the stadium itself now seems redundant with no big footy or rugby club there.

Re: Coventry City
Yes they probably lost around £500k + of incoming walk on gate receipts say 6k per match at £30 each plus X million thanks to a certain player staying put due to injury.

Re: Coventry City
Always quite liked Coventry, as much as you can like a team other than Burnley. I used to have a girlfriend there. It was a decent night out. Good pub in the centre. Forgotten its name.

Re: Coventry City
Dabo has been getting pelters on social media from Coventry fans. Apparently he runs out of steam too often. He’s also 27.
Gyokeres would be the one for me but in the summer to replace Jay.

All about opinions, I guess.

Re: Coventry City
Watched that back and it was indeed a great assist (although the striker still had a lot to do). In the highlights he also made a great run that wasn’t found and some other sharp play. Looked better on a 2 minute video than I recall his YT highlights looking in summer.
I’d be shocked if we still went for him now we have Churlinov/Twine.

Re: Coventry City
I think we were still after him after signing Twine, and Churlinov is a winger so I don’t think that would impact our desire for him. I remain convinced COH would have already been a Burnley player but for his injury, and I reckon he’ll sign for us in January.

Forgot to add that he actually missed the target when pretty well placed which ties in with the Cov fans feedback on him.

Re: Coventry City
Just looking at pictures of Highfield Road on Google Images. They had a good thing going there, and the stadium would still be suitable, even by todays standards with a bit of redevelopment.
