Found this on an another forum....

Was lurking on another forum and found this about last nights CCFC London meeting.

Apologies if this has been put up already..


Tim Fisher, Onye Igwe and Andy Thorn were all in attendance last night.

TF is clearly a PR man through and through. Seemed annoyed to have to answer 'difficult' questions and sighed, tutted and twirled his Mont Blanc pen throughout. Said that Leeds pay £2m a year in rent, as if that was in any way related to CCFC's plight. OI had a lot to say, but none of it of much substance. They both did concede, however, that communication (or lack of it) was a problem. They say that they aren't looking for an exit strategy, they aren't asset stripping, and still want to run the club. OI's lack of football background betrayed him at times - he obviously has a business background and has been parachuted in by SISU to do the best he can.

AT was really impressive. Still chief scout as well as manager, there are a couple of loans (strikers) in the pipeline that he wants asap. C-Mac wasn't his first choice signing, it was le Fondre, but the board messed about and Reading got in there. Clearly AT has no time at all for the board. He thinks the fans are fantastic, considering what we have to put up with, and uses a pro-fans, anti-board stance in his team talks: 'let's show those b****** upstairs' kind of thing. He was laughing about Orange Ken, and said he thought the 'give him enough rope' tactic would work and it did.

He says Keogh and Cranie are vital and doesn't want to sell them. RK is in negotiations for a new contract. He loves his stats and says we're a top 10 side in all of them except the most important one, sticking the ball in the net. Re the sale of LJ, he doesn't think it was a bad deal for CCFC. He said after the Boro game, he was chatting to Mowbray and said 'how's he settling in?' Mowbray said 'fine, he's a great lad, he'll do ok for us' and after Mowbray walked off, Boro's number 2 (Mark Venus) said to AT 'he can't finish though, can he?', and Thorny laughed.

All in all a good night. Candid questions and for the most part, straight answers. It does seem that since RR left, SISU have been trying to learn how to run a football club on the fly, and not doing a great job. AT is doing an amazing job (or jobs) - he said that Mrs AT said 'we won't see you til May now, will we?' - he totally believes in his methods and loves it, despite the circumstances.

I posted this in another thread but would probably be more apparent in here:

Why was the London thread locked? Was it because certain mongs still couldn't get there head round:
A) transfer targets were let slip and were requested to not be made public;
B) The CCLSC created a meeting and invited OI, TF and AT along?

Some of our fans are complete morons.

Also, claiming you are more of a Cov fan because you actually live in Cov is one of the most peculiar things I have ever heard.

Guys can we get back on topic, getting pretty sick of threads having to be closed due to petty squabbles. Got a problem with each other then PM each other this board isn't Jeremy Kyle!
For me its good we are still trying to get contracts signed and glad to hear we are looking at strikers hopefully shipping out the deadwood in the process

I agree, the likes of o'donovan and Jeffers aren't up to it

So to play fantasy football for a bit. Would people be happy with this first/second choice front 3 (assuming we stick with the Boro game formation)

Nimley/Eastwood
Hulse/Platt
Trotta/Sheffers

Still would like to see someone like Gardner in midfield maybe if Clingan goes. It looks by far out weakest area IMO

How about goal totals.

Nimley Games 25 Goals 17 Games per gl 1.47
Eastwood Games 322 Goals 111 Games per gl 2.9

Hulse Games 408 Goals 125 Games per gl 3.2
Platt Games 531 Goals 101 Games per gl 5.25

Trotta Games 14 Goals 11 Games per gl 1.27
Sheffers Games 327 Goals 82 Games per gl 3.98


I know the game totals are very different and levels etc but gives some idea of if they know where the net is

Anyway I've been dragged into a pathetic debate that went off at a tangent.

Hypothetically speaking, if you were told about transfer targets and then asked not to tell anyone as it may scupper any deal, what would you?

Just so everyone's clear, I wasn't at the meeting nor am I a member of the CCLSC.

Scupper any deal? A few fans on sky blue talk? Are you for real? I wouldnt take any notice of what the bullshitters say. I wouldnt piss on igwe&co if they were on fire.

My problem isn't with that of the people who attended that they are keeping quiet.

My problem is that the club asked them to keep quiet and told things to only a few select fans which isn't right.

Minutes? Of a fans forum? Have you all gone insane?

Andy thorn asked them to keep the transfer targets quiet, not the club, and that was the only thing they were asked to keep quiet.

please just let it go will you, you're not in the cclsc therefore you have no right to know anything that was said at that meeting.

As it happens I spoke to my mate who went and he said nothing new was said anyway.

Make your mind up. Was there nothing new or were people told transfer targets and asked to keep them quiet?

If I'm honest, the LSC come across as a bunch of pompous tossers, much like Brinner with his secret casino meetings and all the other "in the know" types you get on here.

"you have no right to know"! Get over yourself.

Get over myself? Im not one of the ones who feels I should be told everything that's ever said about the club by anyone to anyone!

If you go back, you'll see someone did come on and reveal the transfer targets, other than that it was the usual rhetoric.

The members of the LSC I know aren't pompous at all, just real fans who care as much about the club as anyone else, but they're organised, arrange things with the club and have a good relationship with them, and why shouldn't they?

Why did Thorn mention names in the first place?

If he wants them to be 'secret' then he should have kept his mouth shut.

I have posted another quote which says they were told before the meeting started the discussion was not meant to be disclosed with any of us commoners.

Nothing should have been said at the forum that anyone at the club would not want to made public knowledge.

Valiant - have you tried? Set it up, if it's still going in 25 years you can ask
