    Match Thread Shrewsbury Town vs. Coventry City Match Thread - Saturday 22nd Dec

    Could really do with a win today. Need to restore confidence. The recent weather won't have helped as the pitch likely to be a lot heavier and I don't think that will suit some of our players and style of play. Sadly I think the best we will get is a draw, but most likely lose 1 nil

    Wasps current finances & hope

    Going to get messy then. Will be interesting to see how quickly it gets dealt with. Hard to see how they can stop a private company from selling its own shares to who they want when all the shareholders agree to the sale. What are they challenging exactly? The whole deal to sell or elements...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    Actually it might not mean there is any loss of income. Depends what rights are attached to the CVC shares. If they have capital shares only that give voting rights but no rights to income then annual income for the clubs may not dip at all because of the CVC acquisition. The plan is i should...

    Supporters Forum groups pledge Ricoh Arena deal support

    The statement is in the right direction, it gathers various fans groups together. But the statement will not have the effect desired by fans if it is only aimed basically at some sides not all. It is further weakened by the difference of opinion with the Trust. To get them all around the table...

    Supporters Forum groups pledge Ricoh Arena deal support

    I have always tended to support the Trust on things but on this i think they got things wrong. I posted elsewhere that the campaign has to be led by the club and that fans groups have to get behind that. All the Trust had to do was to reissue the same pledge missing but five words "despite the...

    you dont think that was engineered by SISU from the start then with a set aim that was achieved?

    From the Boardroom (Luton)

    You would have to ask each of them NIck. I always take what politicians and councillors say with a huge degree of scepticism Any team that doesn't own its ground will have a lease that is for a set term with no guarantee of renewal

    Agree with you on the CCC comment As for Anderson, who knows what really went on or if he really had the power to agree anything

    From the Boardroom (Luton)

    The facts as i see them. The only way that guarantees staying at the Ricoh is if there is a lease agreement. It is now going to be a commercial agreement that CCC has little control over but may have some influence. It will have a start and an end to it, and the landlord does not have to renew...

    From the Boardroom (Luton)

    What was said by Lucas was misleading, but it is a worry that the "club" place so much reliance on it. I am guessing, but i do not think there is anything in the sale agreement that says any such thing. Which is a problem if it is being relied upon to leverage a new deal. Both SISU and Wasps...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Luton Town Match Thread - Saturday 15th Dec

    Really disappointing. Couldn't go today but from the comments here there is a level of commitment and application that is expected whoever we are playing. But that's not just the players on the pitch. Doesn't seem to have been there today

    But you specifically said sisu and wasps joining together to take on CCC . So you really have not answered the question. How does changing the council over a number of years help CCFC now or even the next year. Could two private companies even do that ? And can you really see wasps who have...

    Enough time to listen to a sensible idea. I am sure we would all like to know what that could achieve, how it could be done, and why it would be in the various parties interest to do so. So over to you, whats your idea and why?

    to start with i am not convinced they would take such an action, however i do not rule it out Depends if selling gains them more than say the crystallisation of tax losses from liquidation that they can utilise elsewhere for example. They say the losses they have made are over £70m which at...

    You don't need administration first to liquidate a company. The directors can go straight to liquidation process
