Re: RUMOUR - Little in talks with Coventry

The only trouble is that the teams who lost their main stars and then refused to buy were relegation strugglers in that season or headed that way the season after, I dont fancy having to take the past routes of the likes of Leeds, leicester, Forest, MK Dons, Brentford and southampton.
It will be very hard for both the club and the players to refuse moves to the premiership due to the fees we paid for the players to get them here in the first place: shorey 25k harper 400k, hunt free, Kitson 400k, Doyle 85k, Sonko free, so for less than a 1 million quid the potential return on the players could exceed 20 million! thats great business for the club! But then the club need to realise that a rebuilding phase needs to occur.
As much as i want Little to stay, his fitness is against him and will not improve due to his age. He is not part of the future of RFC and him signing for coventry isnt the end of the world. Reading are always very coy and will have a shortlist of 10-15 potential targets and wil then narrow that down to attitude and departures and we will see around 6-7 new players come in.
