Apparently Bryan Gil is now worth another look. He’s been bulking up on raw eggs and chicken livers and at the weekend reached a milestone when he tipped the scales at 55kg. His bench PB has also progressed to 40kg

Said Frank with a huge fucking smile on his face
Frank is in charge. He decided to sell our top scorer and he was the one who agreed to bring in Kudus, Tel, RKM and Simons.
OK, Kudus is injured but that still leaves us Tel, Simons, RKM and Odobert. Richarlison and Scarlett.
That is 6 players for 3 positions. We are not short. He is effectively saying that he believes the players that he bought are not good enough.
At the time, lots of us wanted to buy them, but mourning o was manager and decided he wanted bergwijn instead.
I agree with you. Can’t see us splashing out on the financials any way. He’s better than what we currently have but there’s other areas we can also improve. Think it’s just his agent trying to get he may move to England before the World Cup anyway. Suspect he may end up back at somewhere else.
Come on you have been around long enough to know how it and levy/ENIC works. Frank would have been given a list of players and he’d have chosen the least shit option. Just like every manager we’ve had in the last twenty plus years.
Pretty obvious Tel was done before he got here and he had little choice. He doesn’t fancy him or he’d have played him. We got kudus because mbuemo went to united. Simons because we fucked up MGW and Eze. And Muani because Solanke was injured.
There’s rationale for each one. He could have done a Poch and said no to all of them but we’d be even more fucked if he’d have gone down that route.
It would be so typical if we spent 150m on mediocre players that won’t suit whoever manages us next, and won’t be able to offload.
This ownership is the epitome of this

I live near Baginton airport, not far from Whitley. Are you around Cov?
This league is an absolute bloodbath. I mean Liverpool spent 400m and where are they? Miles behind the challengers in 4th. 150m is a drop in the ocean these days.
Everyone has money. Its superior scouting and management that gets results. Thats essentially why we are crap.

We eat at the Baginton Oak every now and then.
I live in Leamington but the Mrs is originally from Bell Green in Cov. She makes me feel posh.
Do a lot of work in and around Coventry.
Know it like the back of my hand.
The airport is being sold off isn't it?
Least shit or not it's his decision.
It’s just not for everyone
Nailed it!
This is why you need a strong scouting team, and ours are second only to our medical team in the competency department!
Not right and correct.
It's not just plundering money but getting the right balance and quality of players at the right moment
This is something people disregard about Pochettino. He had a lot of players at exactly the right time and was able to create something.
150 million, spent well is better than a scattergun 400 million spent badly.
And crucially you need the manager who can gel a group of players and get the maximum out of them, and for me, once you see progress towards that aim, that's all you want.
For me, that's why I don't think Frank will last. We have decent players but he is offering little to add to their collective ability, and sending out defeatist messages too often.

I will be very disappointed if you are not at every Coventry home game, in the away end calling Fat Frank a wanker .
What decent players are these? Frank is an experienced premier league manager. I dont like his football this year. But to suggest otherwise is daft. Blaming a manager that has been here for barely 6 months is also daft. The board recruitment strategy for 8 years has been terrible.
Of course he has finally say, but if it’s a player or nobody 99% of managers are taking a player.
Good to hear from TF. Increasing the wages is paramount.

No idea. I'm not going to go round in circles with people telling me we haven't got a set of more than decent players. It's just nonsense.
We are getting into a constant silly season when posters start saying all our players are sh!t, or that Van De Ven is the only top player, which in my opinion is definitely wrong.
I love football and because Highfield Road was the first football ground I ever went to, to see Keith Burkinshaw's Spurs play Cov, I must confess that I was gutted when they knocked it down and moved to the CBS Arena.
I went to Highfield Road to watch reserve games for years until Cov were relegated in the early 2000's. You'd often get to see top Premier League players for a pittance to get in. This was when I had a Paxton Road season ticket at Spurs and went home and away.
Cov fans have been through a right load of shit for the last 15 - 20 years; at one point having to watch their team at Northampton Town and Birmingham City while the stadium was owned by a private entity.
They probably deserve a spell back in the Prem for that alone.
They do love Fat Frank though.
His combover is getting thinner and thinner as Cov drop points at the moment.
