Hawkins Joining Coventry

Stephen Kenny has snapped up Colin Hawkins to play in next season's Scottish 2nd Division. What a crap move for any pro footballer

No link. He was sitting beside their Chairman today at the Rangers match finalising his move.

Saw that on TV today, it was the director of football he was sitting beside.

They never said anything about him signing for them, plus it would be the Scots 1st div.

No, i'd say Doncaster Rovers would be a worse move to be honest.

It depends on what his options were. Obviously staying at Shels was a non-runner & not sure if any other clubs looking at him?

Dunfirmline are really poor but Kenny does seem to have improved them. Maybe a good few months might get Hawkins a glamour move to Falkirk?

Well, on their performance against Cardiff earlier in the season, it's close...

Is this your idea of getting a dig at a guy who plays pro football.....surely something u would love to do yes?? So wat if he did move to Falkirk....would u say no to them??

**Rory H** · 23/01/2007, 12:50 PM

saying no to playing in front of bigger crowds..playing in front of 50,000 fans a couple of times a season...playing for better run clubs...

**Soper** · 23/01/2007, 12:52 PM

If he wanted to do stuff infront of big crowds, then he could have just become a Professional streaker

Good one.

As i said it depends on his options. Dunfirmline wonlt pay any more money (figure of 2k euro a week quoted for top Hibs & Falkirk players in sunday paper) than the eL & chances of gaining exposure to make a bigger move are unlikely.

**hoop1002** · 23/01/2007, 2:24 PM

that'd be a good move for him cuz closest he's gonna get to big football outside de EL

Richie Baker turned down Motherwell - they were offering him less than he was "getting" at shels
