"Would you rather I cut off your leg, or shoot you in the heart? Oh, and by the way, you may bleed to death anyway"

I think you'll find most Mancs support City. I've only ever met on Man Utd fans who was born in Manchester. Old Trafford is actually in Salford, not the local authority area of Manchester. (Bit like Forest & West Bridgeford) United's success has been to turn themselves into a worldwide "brand"...

I dare say they are - on a board outside the court, probably.

You really need to talk about catchment area rather than just what's in or outside the city. Ours won't go far up the M69 or the A45, because of the location of Leicester, Villa & Blues, but if you go south, then there's really only Northampton that's anywhere near. You could almost say our...

Who's been proven to act in a corrupt or legal way? My understanding is it's the Council, rather than councillors that has been alleged to have acted wrongly. This could run and run. It's all about European law, so could end up in th European courts. If they've just not done things properly...

The nearest sewage works (is Finham still in use?) - there'll be plenty of what he spouts there.

Cheers, I forgot that one: Put season tickets on sale & persuade some fans to buy them

Before the fixtures come out (beginning of next month?) the "club" (whoever that may be) has to tell the Football League 1. That it's able to fulfil its fixtures, and 2. Where its home fixtures will be played. The word coming out of Brum, Leicester & Walsall is that no-one's asked them about...

I don't think Fisher & Co have given one thought about it. When some real estate is at issue, who cares about the last resting place of a few supporters? I'm afraid that's what happens when you get owners with no connection with the city.

"It really doesn't matter whoever owns the umbrella."? It damn well does. I don't want the club I support being owned by an Owen Oyston, or a Carson Yeung. And I place hedge funds not much above criminals.

It's not surprising that payments were made to Holdings and not Ltd. the last set of Sky Blue Sports and Leisure accounts that was filed (SBS&L are the parent company) was quite categorical. Ltd is described as having the purpose of running a professional football club, whilst Holdings is...

You've got me there. I don't know. Maybe OSB can illuminate?

I'm sure you're right, and I'm not suggesting it isn't useful. Just that it's not a scientific study like the ones opinion pollsters do during elections. "From people I know" is pretty much my experience too, but I'm afraid it's just anecdotal evidence. I wasn't suggesting a scientific survey...

No, we'd just continue under an embargo until our salary costs come within FFP

Wow! "A loose canon". When did he take holy orders?

This is the result of a poll on the CT site, not a scientific opinion poll. All it tells you is that 93.6% of those who voted wouldn't buy a season ticket. Not existing holders, not a scientific sample of CCFC fans, just those who clicked a radio button on the Coventry Telegraph website.

You forget that what Mutton was articulating was the Council's position, agreed unanimously. Ann Lucas is hardly likely to say anything different.

What I find interesting in all this is that the club is going for a judicial review for the judge to rule unlawful an action by the council that enabled ACL to offer a reduced rent to ... errr ... the club. All very logical ain't it?

Astonishing. The criterion for whether a manager is decent or not is what he says in his post-match interview.

Sounds like Del & Rodney to me
