    Ryan Haynes

    Too early to judge how good he is really ............ needs a decent run in the side to make any sort of judgement. It was a very good cross for the goal, he showed a willingness to work hard and get forward, got back when needed but got turned a bit too easily, showed a good attitude after...

    This formation

    Wouldn't say it was the fittest CCFC team I have ever seen but I think the base problem is the lack of speed & mobility in many of the positions. It has been a problem for a long time Last season Wilson had electric speed up front which gave an outlet for a quick pass or even a poor pass. Now he...

    This formation

    "Clarke and Pugh aren't wing backs, yet at times are our only attacking threat. They along with the two forwards find themselves in forward areas but have no midfielders to link up with. The midfield three don't know what their exact roles are, and only have each other to pass the ball to...

    Watford friendly

    This the Watford FC official report on the friendly. Which ever way you look at it a decent performance from the Sky Blues. Good to see something positive for CCFC - and most importantly positive on the pitch WATFORD’S impressive pre-season results came to end as Coventry City inflicted a...

    wouldn't open a book on it in the first place so wouldn't be closing one .................... but no I didn't and not at all what I meant and dead right I am not a betting man

    Appeal Decision?

    The reason I think they have to meet their own costs is because as highlighted by the judge that although their barrister had his say he fundamentally didn't add to the defence or change any of the conclusions. I do not think the costs however would have been that great as most of the case...

    The rent. Not sure these ideas are acceptable but here goes. The argument from TF is that the rent should be based on a benchmark figure of around 170k as I understand it. That is what he says is the average rent for an average L1 club ground. Ignore the premium that should apply for quality...

    wouldn't give you odds on the current incarnation of CCFC playing in 2020 to be fair let alone in a new stadium

    CCLSC conversation with TF

    SISU have the right to appeal certainly. What they are doing however is making a business decision to continue or not. A number of Judges have now highlighted various flaws in the two recent cases brought by SISU controlled entities. The evidence has been examined and found not to support the...

    Protest Scarf Poll

    For me it has to be a childrens charity preferably local. Zoe's place would be good but another thought I had was whether there was a charity associated with Daniel Pelka? If there was such a charity then the fund raising might have broader appeal?

    Appeal Decision?

    I would expect there to be an appeal to the Court of Appeal and perhaps if that fails application to the Supreme Court. I really hope I have got that wrong though. Having come so far why would SISU just give up? CCFC is a tool for them not a passion..... and currently I would guess there is no...

    In terms of the whole site then the RIcoh is not just a football stadium in fact the football stadium part is less than 50%. But that is just an aside more importantly .... In terms of CCFC then there is even by renting (at a reasonable value) a scenario whereby CCFC could actually be...

    Things looking up for Joy

    That's just her interest in companies registered in the UK though. Some of the trusts, funds and partnerships do not file accounts to be made public. There will also be interests she has in foreign based entities eg ARVO Master Fund which are not listed. Not to mention personal wealth she may...

    A few thoughts on recent statements

    It isn't about ACL's best interests............. if CCFC do not address not only their interests but also the interests of ACL then I have a real fear that discussions will take ages or even just break down if they happen at all . What I have done is point out what the problem areas are and...

    A few thoughts on recent statements

    a few more thoughts - The proposal apparently put forward is for three years. Would ACL want to be tied in with SISU/CCFC that long or would they look for a one year rolling contract? Would such an arrangement suit CCFC better? Of course the FL want a 10 year security of tenure but seemingly...

    no shmmee it is the sales net of VAT. That year had a lot of special events because of leaving Highfield Rd so is not a good reflection of normal trade I would suggest.

    A few thoughts on recent statements

    Just a few thoughts that come to mind about recent statements CCFC/FL/ACL Harping back to the old agreement is not useful (although I will make reference to them below). CCFC has no legal right to be at the Ricoh. Aside from a sign that has been left up and the hopes of the fans there is no...

    CCLSC conversation with TF

    You see when people say things like this I have to ask have they ever actually looked at the figures and known facts ....... or simply relied on other peoples rhetoric - Neither CCC nor AEHC have taken a return on investment, a dividend - none of the appointed directors from CCC or AEHC is...
