Not that one, the other one, with a deliberate title pun. In an astounding piece of business close to the deadline on transfer day, when all good supporters are tucked up in bed, the sale of Scott Dann to Coventry, on a three and a half year deal, was announced. Predictably, the fee was undisclosed.

Having signed a three year deal just last June, Dann would hav been one of the last people anyone would expect to leave, but the unthinkable has happened, and it looks like Roper will now have a good run at making a centre-back slot his own, unless Dickie thinks Manny is ready to cut his teeth in the first team.

There’s some questions need answering over this deal, given the very public announcements from both our owner and manager expressing their satisfaction with the youth, with our progress and with our finances. “We don’t need to sell”?? No doubt these answers will be forthcoming tomorrow.
