    Brexit/SISU

    I am genuinely interested in what people actually voted for because both sides conducting the debate at a national level were appalling. From your point of view did you simply vote to leave as per the question on the paper? If that is the case then no negotiation is required. Serve article 50...

    Brexit/SISU

    The reason the stock market has risen is that there is no other viable investment to be made. There is no institution paying interest so the stock market is the pretty much the only place to put your money. With regards to most economic indicators its too early to draw lasting conclusions...

    Great idea to reduce tax receipts. That will fix it for sure. But I suppose we can all sell our overpriced houses to each other and sell each other insurance policies

    Ricoh sponsorship

    Very difficult to make that look credible given we sold our share of ACL, sold our F&B rights and over a prolonged period failed to exercise our option to buy back our 50% share.. or should we continue just to say its everybody else's fault

    Brexit/SISU

    I don't hold that view as it is certainly not clear exactly what they voted for. There is a broad church of belief as to what Brexit actually means. If I talk to 10 people who voted to leave then I'll probably get 10 different views on what Brexit means, some close enough to be reconciled with...

    Brexit/SISU

    I could counter with the argument that my Grandfathers fought too ,only to have it thrown away by their children (not their grandchildren when you look at the demographic of the vote). Its not been 20 years since the last european war combined with ethnic cleansing fought by states with self...

    Brexit/SISU

    I dont know if I am at odds with you or in agreement. The point I was making was that during the lead up to the referendum I heard many older people and pensioners saying we didn't fight the war to be controlled by Brussels (or something similar). as per post #18 By definition you would...

    Brexit/SISU

    And the same Tory Govt of the 70's and 80's destroyed manufacturing in our City out of self interest. The same Govt that today purchases Swedish Steel for our defence requirements

    Brexit/SISU

    I accept that point but i do fail to see how we are, European Law was enshrined in UK law by act of Parliament, by people that were elected by the British Electorate. You will get Brexit , via the lawful route

    Brexit/SISU

    At the time we joint the IMF were bailing out Britain we had no money the place was on its knees. Fast forward 50 years and we are the 5th largest economy in the world .... kinda worked didn't it. But lets forget all the positives and throw them away that because we need British Justice...

    Did you fight in WWII or was it your parents generation that did? After all they were the ones that took us in in the 70's and voted a second time to stay in...

    Brexit/SISU

    The people voted for the sovereignty of the British Parliament and British Law. This is British Laws in action with all the safeguards that prevent acts of parliament being removed by any government without Parliament saying so. We joined by act of Parliament so we must leave via act of...

    So we had to sell to pay a company we owned 50% of. No influence there then! .......and weren't you an advocate of purchasing 50% of the RICOH? But I suppose the rental on top of all the money we had put in to build the place in the first instance.......

    CCFC will always have the bigger pull for the people of Coventry, think the WASPS fan Base and CCFC base are largely different. Sure there will be those that are diverted from the football but thats down to whats happening on the Pitch. WASPS pull in people from Warwickshire / Birmingham and...

    For Man U / liverpool and the rest in the premier league is it their asset base or performance on the pitch that drives revenue? Its all about Pounds in vs Pounds out unless investing in a stadium drives positive revenue and improves the clubs situation then it is the wrong thing for the club...

    Jon Sharp - BPA

    I believe that this is fundamentally incorrect. We need an asset base to progress? This will cost big time and divert revenue from the playing side to finance our "Asset". Our owners have already said that any "asset" such as a ground will not be owned by the club but will be an equivalent...
