    The PR game

    All through this dispute the various sides have used PR to try gain an advantage. Quite legitimate and probably to be expected. Certainly the contribution made by the PR issued should not be underestimated, the biggest effect has been to obscure the facts from the fans however. Say something...

    Just my personal opinions as to where things stand at the moment. It wont agree to everyone elses view and I wouldnt expect it to. CCFC (the team) - the important thing to fans Seems to me that SP is doing a great job with a small squad that is young and committed. Cant comment on the standard...

    Questions - is giving the golden share to Otium a New Co situation in the Football League Insolvency policy?. What is different to say the Rangers situation in Scotland ? (to be clear I have no desire to see CCFC relegated 3 divisions) Otium is a brand new company in that it has never traded...

    Discussions - just an opinion

    Nothing more than my own guess but I really do not think that the discussions at the end of last week will achieve a break through or bring our team back to the Ricoh. The feel i get from the reports & "leaks" is that the focus from the SISU point of view is on driving through the CVA...
