    Lack of gratitude?

    Is it me and am i the only one who has yet to see any of the 3 major departees express any real gratitude to the fans that supported them through thick and oh so much thin. Perhaps i missed it but I feel that some expression of thanks to the Sky Blue faithful would not have gone amiss...... do...

There are plenty of edicts from the FA, but frankly I think their plan is confused simply because it...

    Leonard Brody

    Will say from the start that I have never been a great fan of the Board or SISU, it isnt based on blind prejudice but what I perceive as the errors in judgement they have made in the last 3 years and the "miscommunication" they have peddled in that time. However the two interviews I have heard...

    A summary - a personal opinion

    There have been a series of events that have been pretty sobering for any CCFC fan. Firstly, because it has been the most talked about, the King saga. This has been done to death so wont try to bore with a lengthy discussion. King did himself no favours and he and his agent caused a whole lot...

    current health of CCFC

    There is a major charm campaign going on at CCFC...... not before time to be honest.... but I think a healthy scepticism remains important when looking at things Sky Blue. It is great that the Chairman wants to meet some of the fans, that Brody wants to be available to talk on radio etc, and...
