    Should Eastwood go to Coventry. Will we then be bombarded by talk of he couda done this that or the other thing or will our ears be blessed by silence. If the lad wants to go and thinks a move to the blues is in his best interest I for one wish him well. However I feel the interest being best served will be that of his agent!

    Looks like the E&S moderators, in their infinite wisdom, deleted my April Fool’s Day post about Eastwood leaving. Obviously can’t take a joke then folks? (And if you post this one too then I’ll be surprised!!)

    £2 million for a sub? You would be silly to say no to that. Use the cash to build a defence.
