Coventry release nine..

[fbm]

"New Coventry City manager Peter Reid has wielded the axe at Highfield Road with nine players being released by the Sky Blues.

Pegguy Arphexad, Dean Gordon, Onandi Lowe, Barry Quinn, Gavin Ward, Michael Briscoe, Ruaidhri Higgins, Avun Jephcott and Hussain Yazdani have all been told their contracts will not be renewed when they expire at the end of June."

Now Lowe was at Rushden and only joined Coventry late in the season...

I suspect he'd be out of our league BUT he is a huge presence used to the Conference and Div 3...

Just a thought

Agreed, he scored a lot at this level i believe?

Also Dean Gordon would be a hell of a signing, he is a quality left back which would allow tilly to play nicky in the midfield role!!

I wouldn't mind Arphexad as well actually... he was a decent enough keeper at Liverpool if I recall

Ah, you've got to love silly season. Just how, exactly, are we supposed to afford one of them, let alone all three?!

Of the three, I'd go for Lowe, definitely...

You are living in dreamland people. They are probably on 4k a week and lets face it £5.50 a week a dary leas slice and peter pans wristband is hardly going to entice them is it!!! We should be looking at the conference or scottish leagues for real gems. Or now the easten block are part of the EU perhaps we can find some top talent out there. But i wouldnt fancy scouting in bandit land!!!

(Matt, Do you want to remind them that a) we missed out on promotion and b) Abramovich pulled out of his Southend takeover, or shall I?

I see Reid has also brought in Dion Dublin on a free. Ah well, that's our ex-Cambridge striker signing theory blown out of the water. As I had it from a reliable source we could afford his £10,000 a week wages ....

Would Lowe not come with a bit of form off the pitch ??

"Coventry striker Onandi Lowe has been bailed by police after being arrested on suspicion of possessing drugs with intent to supply".

Sounds like the ideal partner for Bramble up front...

To be fair, we've got some form on a lags XI - Ricky Otto, obviously, and wasn't another ex-player implicated in a serious GBH case recently?

Just trying to generate a bit of non will they won't they Maher/Warren/Cort/Constantine chat... I don't suppose for a moment we'd get any of them... even if we wanted them.

Bramble was apparently 'cruising' round Felixstowe with Titus at the weekend.

Just like the Krays aren't they...

I thought rumour had it that Bramble Senior (i.e. Tes & Titus' Dad) was a bit of a Mr. Big in Ipswich, with his hands in one or two slightly nefarious pies, so to speak...

allegedly of course- and this is the last word on the matter as from all accounts he's a bit scary.

I'm sure all the rumours are thoroughly scurrilous and untrue.
