Captain Grimes on his way to Coventry City?

[Ringwood]

Even more reason we should be nurturing our youth players developing them to the first team

Are we putting this move purely down to wages he will get there? Or we thinking something else is going on here.

Likely to be a combo of a few factors. Wages, length of contract, signing in fee, better mood around the camp, perceived better stability inside the club.

Not to mention working with one of the best midfielders of modern times who may get the best out of him and make him a better player.

Lampard still has it all to prove as a manager.
I wouldnt put him in the Rooney catagory ...yet. Both generational footballers.
He doesn't seem to have the charisma.
I truly believe that is a vital part of man management. He seems too "level" to be a manager. Sometimes the crockery has to be in danger.
Thomas Franck looks like a muppet puppet. You can tell he has passion though, the bug eyed fker.
I belive managers need a range of tools in order to motivate and engage their team. Steve Copper was another who was too level. Kick the fking door in when it requires it.

Been told by an impeccable source that he’s gone. Make of that what you will, or won’t.

3.5m rising to 4 apparently, 3yr deal with optional extra and he will be their joint highest earner. Wonder how much their top earner gets? Would put some things into perspective

£3.5m - £4m for a CM that doesn't tackle, doesn't do assists, doesn't score goals, and can't beat the first man with his corners.

I'm no fan of Andy Coleman at all, but he's pulled Coventry's trousers down on this one.

I’m now looking forward to multiple threads on ‘Grimes watch’. It will be fascinating to see how this one plays out for Coventry.

And saving 25K a week wages.

If this site is to be believed that would put him on £30k a week!

If he has gone and doesn't play Saturday I wonder if he will be in the stadium with the Coventry staff.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Coleman asked him if he’d like to go on the pitch half time to give the fans a wave off

 

[Ringwood]

Playing against us Saturday would be a real kicker...no doubt he would be higher up the field looking for a pass off Fulton.

Whether it was LW and the WBA fiasco, or the general slide into sh*t football and tedious tactics, finances restricting our business or something else, something has happened behind the scenes for him to suddenly want out.
This isn't just down to more money.
