Personally i like the slow/steady rate of signings.
Remember how things went after Buckle pretty much waved-in any old mush who wanted some money with vague nods to previous performances.

It's fairly likely that getting permission for a stadium on a brownfield site, with potential to allow regeneration to occur will be straight forward. There would just be the usual technical details on transportation/parking etc.
Back of a fag packet calc says the Mem footprint could accomodate residential builds worth £50+m [much higher rtn possible], so the land is highly saleable to housing developers. A brownfield site [im guessing the area adjacent to Boundary Road] could be snapped up for a very small amount.
If UWE's demands for the freehold cant or wont be met, then perhaps this is the alternative?

If Higgs and co were still in charge, we would have lost DC a long time ago. It's not a criticism, it's just they would have been unable to be competitive salary-wise, and would have had their heads turned by compo. Thank goodness Wael can see the big picture and has the money to retain Clarke's services.

Blackburn Rovers is good. When did we last play them in a league fixture? Forest we have played in the league quite recently. Hopefully take a decent crowd to Ewood.

Yep, I would have given him another year. Still has a good football brain but the body is now letting him down. Agree, still got great vision, a good touch and a finisher; a mile off of the pace though, really like Jammer, but his legs have clearly gone.

The constant bing-bongs were sh**e. Why don't they just tow offending cars away? who cares about helping people who park like tossers?

Good three points, still in with a chance with 4 to go. Our foward line is the one thing that is a concern for me, can we score enough to win every game. Should be fun finding out. UTG If we make the playoffs, we will need to be firing on all cylinders, strikers not scoring will not get us to Wembley, it is that simple. I think we are going to need to start banging goals away in this final 4 games, and whilst I hope it happens, we need to be realistic we have been fairing shot shy since the snake slithered away.

There is no evidence that the board are willing to sanction the signing of players that could command a good salary or a substantial transfer fee relative to this level so it looks like more poundland in the pre-season period. It's not down to wael or the rest of the board to spend what they want as we are now governed by the rules that states we can only by players which is in our budget which is dependent on our revenue! Which does make me wonder why season tickets only went up by a fiver. If they had gone up £20 or 30 surely that would have put a bit more in DC's kitty. I would have paid the extra.

Beyond terrible. Completely sterile due to the allocated seating and 75% of the away end being sat down. 30-odd Coventry kids with a drum put us to shame. From my opinion not strictly true. Performance was more to blame for lack of atmosphere, along with the 20000 empty seats. +1; it's also odd when the stand you are facing is empty and the home fans are smattered left and right.

Quite happy with tonights results. Millwall, Rochdale, Oxford all drop points. #utg

The buzz for this game is so real. Can't wait. With us on the up and CC in a really bad decline, it might be the only time we play at the Ricoh Arena for some time. To think I used to work with a guy - from Cov - who had a season ticket at Highfield Road and used to brag about playing the big boys every week, how fortunes change.

Had we survived and DC kept us up I suspect things would be similar. He would have shipped out the chancers and got in players who he does his miracle work with.
but,
Would we have caught the eye of the Al Qadis, if we not had already pulled off an instant return from the Conf? Without the non-league rennaisance, we may not have got bought and therefore would still be utterly skint, we would have lost the snake last january (and we cant deny his part in getting us out of L2), DC would have gone when Leeds called [Higgs would have snapped up compensation] and we wouldnt have funds for loans like Lumley and Sweeney. At one time going to the Mem on saturday was a ritual, you did it even though the performances were poor - it was purgatory, now it's realy, really entertaining.
This last three years has scarcely been believable, set against the background of years of utter rubbish. Every Rovers fan I speak to is always buzzing, there so much less moaning from crowds, even when we have a bad day. Long may it continue.

You don't want to be playing anyone in the bottom 3 in your last 3 games. Look how hard Dagenham were to beat. can work both ways..........Alfreton? We must be the only team who can mention alfreton, dagenham and millwall in the same convo. how things have moved on, and how quickly has it happened. Thread-wise, it's great having something still to play for, whatever happens. #utg
