I shouldn't have left Jericho out either

Football inflation is a bullshit argument when it comes to the championship. Top players were still moving for decent money back then. The reason Dack is worth more than Cairney or any of the others being discussed isn't because of inflation,it's because he delivered consistently at League 1 and now at this level. That's why he is worth more.

Is it not? I'm not up on it. Why can't they just have their own stadium if its so simple? I just don't think the players and the fans should be deprived of a promotion due to factors without their control. I mean we had to deal with so much beyond our control.

Good post. I was talking about transfer fees from players signed

My entire argument was that we don't count players who they didn't sign, obviously. Therefore I never included them. So why are you using that as the opening piece of your post? Strange. Indeed it is difficult to compare, but I think I have made the case well. Ya,I agree with the rest of your post. Saturday is huge really ,isn't it?

So he can spot a good player,but his recruitment isn't good Mmm mmm Ah no to be fair,I do and have agreed with the general sentiment you have here. We all want a ruthless ,no nonsense manger who can crack the whip and deliver us to the promised land. Leeds are paying 6 million a year for that and still they aren't guaranteed of anything.

We were discussing who signed players that we could sell for value.. It's pretty simple,as I demonstrated.

Dack has value though, I don't think anyone else disagrees with that. Bowyer didn't sign Dann ,Hanley or Rhodes (did you not know this)and Duffy left for 4 million(where do you get 5m plus from?). So the rest of your total equals 13 million. Dack was linked with an 18 million move. Add in Armstrong. Now work that out and come back to me.

I feel bad for you that you have such a negative outlook. The reality is we can't ignore the past, agreed, however we are doing well this season and I for one will enjoy that while it lasts.

If you think lower league clubs are hard done by, why deprive Coventry ,their players and fans of a promotion due to something outside their control?

Johnson is very good at that ?

We ain't going anywhere with that set up these days ,unfortunately.

Nice one man Jesus some tipping by Brighton

Shur of course we could. Imagine we went on one of our winning runs now Conversely imagine we went on one of our forays to the dark side It's there for the taking

The only way they will sell us if we get promoted. No one will take us with that debt and they won't write it off to sell the club. That sweet,sweet PL money is the only way we will be attractive to buyers and make it realistic that Venkys to write the debt off. In my opinion! To be fair to them, even though they prob don't deserve that, they are putting money in. I mean that is their obligation,but as of now, they aren't the worst owners. Of course that's only if we look at Mowbrays time here. I understand the fear that we could go backwards again. I just think that Mowbray has and is doing a lot to stabilise the club.

That main event (Italian kissing fingers gesture) Now I think I need to include Angle, Savage and Rick Rude somehow. Ok the 3 of them in a pre show no 1 contenders match for the IC title.

88 Sting v the Undertaker

I like this fantasy booking. I was going to go deeper and say who would be the face and heels in the matches. Plus who I would see as the winners. Obviously the above is Wrestelmania. I think the card might be a bit too loaded in crazy matches early on, although I think the later matches work because of the star power in them

Venkys couldn't put the club up for sell unless they paid the debt off. How is that short sighted? Do you know something we don't? Ya that's what he said and we didn't spend anything in January, so it sounds like we are keeping the right side of it. Might have to sell someone too,but it has always been like that.

Or maybe it's because you have been found out!

Good assessment to be fair. Although I don't think his transfer record sans Dack is as bad as people make out.

Match 1 (US title Fatal 4 way) AJ Styles v Scott Steiner(C)V Richochet v Keith Lee Match 2 (No 1 contenders Ladders match) Hardy Boys V Edge and Christian V Dudley boys V Lucha bros Match 3 (Falls count anywhere) Brock Lesnar V Mike Awesome V Bobby Lashley V Batista Match 4 (Intercontinental title Triple threat) Shawn Michaels (C) V Eddie Guerrero V Daniel Bryan Match 5 (Tag team titles) Legion of Doom V Harlem heat (C) Match 6 (Womens title steel cage match) Becky Lynch V Chyna (C) V Ronda Rousey Match 7 (Buried alive match) Undertaker and Kane V John Cena and Randy Orton Match 8 (WWE title last man standing match) Ric Flair V The Rock V Hollywood Hogan (C)

Ya, I agree with all of that, but we were discussing whose signings created more value. We did sell Cairney for less than he was worth, but it wasn't like we sold Dack for 3 million, we probably should have gotten around 5 for him.

The levels of debt are irrelevant as long as Venkys are here,plus we are safe with regards FFP. Do you actually do any research on what you babble on about? Obviously winning is the goal, but I think rational people would say getting into the play offs would represent a great season and noticeable progress. It's not promotion or bust. It's spend more than your budget and bust. Which we haven't done. Actually I'm pretty sure you were blowing the horn to spend more money that we don't have. That's what gets you in trouble. Look around the league.

Is Pontus Jannsen not still out?
