We’ll be losing our best and worst midfielder at the same time. Mixed feelings, but - and I may come to regret this - I think it’s for the best in the long term, so hope this comes off.

According to two reliable sources on X he's handed in transfer request

If this is true then. There is no point everyone starting to back track. We wanted change. Yes no doubt there is a player there. But he has brought nothing as captain. And I see more errors than anything else. Maybe this is why he has down tools it would make sense now. I have 0 issues with changing things up in mid field. Be careful what you wish for people.

Speaks volumes. He has downed tools. Get Franco or someone else as captain. People will start panicking. But can our performances get any worse?

It's that typical situation of wanting rid of your missus but she one ups you and says she wants to leave you. You're hurt and upset that it wasn't on your terms...

While I'm on a rant. If he goes, people will start to pull up the stats he will bring to Coventry. I could get great stats by kicking a ball against the wall. But if it doesn't go into the chalk drawn goal then what's the point.... Food for thought people.

Latibeaudiere, Bidwell and now Grimes.

And a manager who was on loan with us.

Handing in a transfer request last week and demanded to go. fee is only 2.5m I believe

I was going to say it was evident Saturday that he was protecting himself from getting injured by the way he played, but that’s just how he plays anyway.

2.5m. Fucking hell. Can barely even call it asset stripping.

How much, if any, goes to Exeter?

Everyone having a go at the club/Coleman. This appears to be Statty demanding a move away - In January, all by himself. Get him the F*ck out of the door and good riddance.

There is absolutely zero chance that the club have decided that they want to change things up in midfield by selling their captain and someone who has played virtually every minute of the last 6 or 7 seasons in January. When we are in freefall and only 7 points above the relegation zone.

Whatever your view is on Grimes, there is no way this is a deliberate ploy and no way it can be spun in a positive light.

The question should be why does he want to move, maybe he's sick of being asked to play the way Russ and Luke have asked him to...just a thought.
