Could it be they came back to us Yes was me - about 50 pages ago!Here it is again Coventry City in a bit of turmoil at moment, which may explain their reluctance to sell anyone unless offer is silly. SISU, a hedge fund, own City. The stadium is owned by Coventry Council, and leased to Wasps, the RU club. City then sub lease the ground. Wasps have defaulted on a £35m bond repayment and will apparently miss a revised date for paying it later this month. according to The Times, the result is that SISU are open to selling City in order to get out of the mess. Theory is a third party could buy both City and the ground lease at same time. Apparently SISU and Coventry Council don’t get on. At all, so SISU don’t want to buy the lease. Alternatively, you may think, it is a good excuse, if they want to sell City anyway, or probably can’t afford to buy the lease off Wasps. They are busy touting City as a top championship Club with “a natural aspiration” of getting to Premier League. Any sale of Gyrokes or other sellable assets wouldn’t help that. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

I know they are only wanting him to go on a loan, but no-one on here would have a go at Uche for example if he was trying to get a loan moved on and was encouraging fans of a club interested in him. He’s not agitating against Fulham, or trying to get a move against their wishes. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
2plus2 290 Posted August 2, 2022 Share Posted August 2, 2022 Pure speculation. No source. Not ITK knowledge. Please put away the pitchforks. But I suspect we're revisiting the Gyokeres deal because of the [slightly] unexpected sale of Tav. We approached the potential of Tav going with trepidation, but this sale does fit with the Kieran Scott footballing model, so not shocked it happened in the end & we KNOW that we are looking to bring in at least 4 strikers this season. Wilder has been pretty clear that Coburn can go out on loan, that Watmore doesn't fit the system and that we're only really giving Akpom a chance because of lack of options. Forss. Larsen. ????. ????. [?????/Akpom] I think we'll put up the cash for Gyokeres if come mid/late August our 'cheaper' options don't come through and leave us with 4 man strikeforce [Akpom discluded from that] Link to post Share on other sites

Fulham are happy with him to come here, they are just waiting on whatever player(s) they want to bring in themselves. We know we are after Muniz, I think we can say that he’ll be playing for us this season, we are just waiting for Fulham now. Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure what video you’ve watched, he looks useful and technically sound in the clips I’ve seen. Far from a sure thing he’ll be able to perform in the championship for us though, nearly all of his clips are in the u23s 1 Link to post Share on other sites
