    six reasons why SP should stay long term

    no it isn't its your opinion........ and for a start off just keeping the players we had last season does not guarantee us winning the division or success just a better chance of it. Nothing as they say is certain in football ask the team that played Worcester on Sunday. The JPT semi final was a...

    six reasons why SP should stay long term

    not really reasons are they ....... and the 6th one just doesn't count :facepalm: - how does getting angry in public make him a good manager exactly ? not saying he is or isn't but yesterdays press conference offered no proof he is destined for the top at all - had we kept last years team then...

    Some basic ricoh questions

    Cllr Taylor set out four tests which potential buyers would have to pass before the arena was sold. First, investors wanting to buy the Sky Blues and the arena would have to show their deal was agreed by both the football club and its bank, the Co-operative Bank. Secondly, they'd have to...

    Some basic ricoh questions

    Thing is though Wasps haven't bought in on the original either they got 250 years! So why couldn't the club negotiate better terms too? especially when they first came in and had decent leverage on the situation

    Some basic ricoh questions

    Yes there was that clause in the original lease....... however I am not sure how the new lease works or even where it sits in the structure..... so that clause could be defunct, certainly if I were Wasps I would want it out of any agreement

    If We Lose Tonight?

    We don't need knee jerk reactions and whether you call them stubborn or not in my opinion it is very unlikely CCFC would sack SP now even if we did lose . Personally not in favour of a change at the moment, there is still time for SP and for him to change the results around. Tonight will...

    Some basic ricoh questions

    what has puzzled me NW has been the reluctance by CCC until now to create a lease for ACL that has real worth. Why didn't they create a 125 year lease in the first place that could have allowed a lot of things including development of the site and a higher value sale. Politics and egos getting...

    Some basic ricoh questions

    ACL borrowed 21m from Yorkshire Bank in order to pay CCC for the £21m lease premium. That lease premium means there is no annual rent paid by ACL to CCC. They were given a choice between paying the premium or an annual rent of £1.9m they chose the lease premium The naming rights go to ACL as...

    "Certain players will be banished from this football club"

    I would suspect that mixed in with a lot of what he was saying yesterday is the pressure he is under. In TF's interview on Monday he mentioned that he was speaking to the owner that day. I would imagine because of the financial implications it was not a great conversation. I would suspect that...

    Wasps do have the veto

    sorry but the whole original idea was to provide CCFC with income, its even why the option is in place, so of course no one was arguing about it because that is precisely what was intended. What TF did was to make an issue of it and attach that issue to one particular solution - out right...

    A Different Incident?

    Think it is something different Torch probably something that happened in the changing room

    Wasps do have the veto

    Leaving aside the fact Yorkshire Bank said they were not minded to accept the deal proposed in settlement and the fact that AEHC turned down flat the £2m. Why would that have been a better deal for AEHC? Because whilst we all want what is best for CCFC the decision the Trustees have to make is...

    How has Pressley lost the dressing room?

    I am not sure he has lost the dressing room as such but clearly the message from manager/coaches has not been getting through to the playing squad properly. Trouble is if there are disgruntled players or even the odd one that has lost an element of respect for SP then that could be a real...

    "Certain players will be banished from this football club"

    I can not help but think that this is all part of the downward spiral we are in and no one at CCFC is actually has a clue as to how we get out of it other than cross fingers and hope.

    "Certain players will be banished from this football club"

    has he recognised how bad things are or squarely placed the responsibility on 3 or 4 players? He can not ignore his part in this and there has been little recognition of that

    "Certain players will be banished from this football club"

    really not certain that is the best approach coming out with its all the players fault in public and certain ones in particular. Yes absolutely things needed to be sorted out because there is clearly a break down between manager/coaches and the team. But keep it in house. I understand SP is very...

    ACL chairman forced to resign

    As far as I can see there are 8 ACL directors still registered at Companies House. The latest being Nick Eastwood. It would seem to me that the resolution was needed because there could be a 4:4 split on board decisions and therefore stalemate. Wasps even if they only have 50% will be the...

    FAO the 'Pressley Out' brigade

    Whilst I might agree that sacking SP just now is perhaps not the best option there will come a point where it will be necessary if he fails to turn the fortunes of the club around. There are plenty of teams above us and still in the FA cup with smaller playing budgets this season. So the...

    Whos fault is it.

    Does it matter? isn't the main thing how do we get out of this bloody deep hole that keeps getting deeper? crowds wont start to recover until we are consistently winning games and challenging at the top not bottom of the table

    Should wasps buy ccfc?

    As CCFC stands now I don't know who would take on that amount of risk to be honest. It would require the settlement or writing off of the loans outstanding (that would be the 13m+ in respect of Otium because you would not need to purchase SBS&L and its £28m+ loans). Not a small sum even so and...
