Captain Grimes on his way to Coventry City?

Maybe Grimes thinks the Prem is possible with Coventry

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.

Nah, it's 90% about money, they're offering him a huge wage increase and he's 30. Mad not to.

Plus, it's probably got back to him by now that, despite most people within the club constantly rimming him, most of our fans have long since rumbled what's he's really about (personal stat padding) and that grift was coming to its natural end.

Great move for him - and we've got double what we could have realistically expected for such a limited player. Win-win. Perhaps social media hype isn't always such a bad thing after all

The Cov fans think he's a tough tackling resilient leader.

He clearly isn't that !

They are about to learn the hardest of lessons.

1.6 tackles per game compared to 1.8 last season. Franco at 3.3

And Coventry think the Prem is possible with Grimes, Deluded buggers deserve each other.

Actually with my prediction history I hope that post doesn't age badly.

Grimes scoring on Saturday would simulataneously be the zenith, nadir, and endgame of former players scoring against us. It's utterly nailed on to happen if he plays, but would close the book on it happening again; can feel it in my loins

If you go down to the woods today...

I notice that not many people share stats like that about him. That few tackles despite playing as deep as he does is pretty shocking really.

Shame there wasn't a "tackle's avoided" stat. Grimes would be hitting impressive figures for sure. Get this done, and i really couldn't give a toss if he plays against us on Saturday or not.

Who's going to tell them?

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

I'm not convinced. He could realistically get that kind of money in the summer (maybe more if his agent had until then to tout him about more).

But why is it suddenly imperative (from both the club's and his viewpoint) that the club captain leaves in the last week of the January transfer window?

A few weeks ago he gave that fluffy interview about being here a decade and look forward to the future.

Somethings happened.
