Been on a thread for a while but hit the press now.

Coventry City are understood to be in talks with Derby County striker Martyn Waghorn.

The 31-year-old former Leicester City striker is out of contract at Pride Park, where he has also held discussions about a new contract to extend his three-year spell with the club.

Leicester will be begging to join so they can renew their glamour rivalry with Cov city!

Its not really a Derby though is it?

Morning,

A Sky Blues Fan here. Born Derby but moved to Coventry in 1965.  I feel your pain.  My first match was a 0-0 Draw FA Cup 1974/Energy crisis/first sunday game in 'the modern era for both clubs.  Crowd of over 40k...Forest kicked off earlier so they pipped us to the post.

Anyway, The Sky Blues have a different story.  Our white knight actually took us to the pits of the 4th division. Nothing out of the ordinary when a club is on its knees.  I guess Derby could go there as well.  The fans suffer.

Our owners run a tight ship and are loved by some but loathed by many.  

Derby County will not go out of business but the rough ride may go on for several years yet.  Unless of course you end up like Leicester City who were lucky enough to be operating in a different era.  

My guess is that Admin is coming soon.  If any points deduction is applied immediately (But stay in Championship) you may have the added burden of the points deduction for Administration.  Makes sense to take double-punch and relegation at the end of the coming season.  

If you are relegated due to the current scenario I think you will also go into admin. The points could well be assigned to next season but the chances of staying up will of course be better. (Than carrying sanctions over /results of league action this season). 

Anyway, I wish the Rams the best for the future.  Onwards and upwards...It would be great for Derby and the Sky Blues to be in the Prem. The chances of that are virtually nil...
