Christie didn't come cos we signed other players and couldn't afford him. It was decided we'd go back for him later. There wasn't the budget available, the same as NC had to beg to get enough money to sign Tom bloody Naylor. There's been enough talk of the fact that maybe Mel reads this forum (maybe Sam as well) if I'm saying anything that's wrong, then they'll possibly pop up in a post and tell me you and anyone else that I'm making it up. So you are telling me we couldn't afford to sign Christie from Coventry so we got Adam Smith from Spurs? Righto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zag zig Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Wonder how many will go on to be appearance heavyweights and break say 300? My shouts would be maybe Keogh due to form, Christie because of his age, Hughes if doesn't move to a bigger club and stays injury free. Bryson on form but asking 3 more years injury free so doubt it for that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norman Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 Ronnie, serious question - and you'll know the answer. Who scouted the players? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Righto. Smith came in on loan AFTER we had sold the Bray. Christie was going to cost us 900k it was decided that cash could be better used elsewhere.

Yes but I would guess a loaned from Spurs would be similar in cost to a player from Coventry in league 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It differed from player to player in terms of who initially scouted them, but then typically all of them would watch him. Simon Clough, Micky Forsyth, Gary Crosby, Nigel Clough, Andy Garner, Martin Taylor and probably one or two I've forgotten to mention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You greatly misunderstand. Never mind. look at how many games Christie played after October in that season and re-appraise impartially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely Christie and Hughes if he stays. Both could grow even more in the Premier. Not sure about Keogh if we go up but maybe if we don't. Hendrick is an interesting one because I think he has the ability but not so sure about the application? I would love for it to be Bryson too, but can he stay injury free long enough? What about the relative newbies? Olsson, Ince - both are possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard clough watched Bryso for 15 minutes and left saying he will do for me , after being out the team so long and turning the season around now the hordes maybe realise what Nigel seen in him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted April 27, 2016 Share Posted April 27, 2016 It was the right time for me. Had we not have had such a good season in 2013/14 I feel the team would have been torn apart. When we sacked him we'd just lost Brayford, a player so loyal to Our Nige that he dropped into League One for him and Bryson had just signed a new contract which had that ridiculously low release clause. The team had been built and somebody had to get the best out of it, something the club clearly didn't feel Clough was capable of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hendrick also has fierce competition but could do it based on games played now. Bryson yeah it's a big ask to stay fit to do so given the miles he covers, but he's already going to be forever remembered, regardless of appearances. My kids will probably be showing their kids in 50 years time his goals against Forest Ince easily could but his ambition will probably mean he will not be here in 5/6 seasons time. Olsson, well I reckon Forsyth will have something to say about that who too could be here in 3/4 seasons time given his age. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really looking forward to that battle. Fozzy is one of my favourites but I've quite taken to Olsson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
