    I'm probably the least surprised.

    Got to be honest Don i am only now beginning to think the squad is good enough............ and only because of MR's influence. On paper it have seemed that the squad should be good enough at the start of the season, partly because we signed 9, but it wasnt so on the pitch. Of those 9 how many...

    I'm probably the least surprised.

    a better test of how we are currently is probably Colchester they are very similar in form & position ...... lets see where we are after that. At this stage anything is possible including top six .......... although i would suggest bottom 4 is becoming much less likely. Top six is going to...

    The Secret of Crickley Hall

    Thought the TV depiction moved a bit quicker than the book but thats not unreasonable ........ or is it the speed i read :facepalm::laugh: I thought it did it justice and the suspense is only just building.

    wouldnt disagree DTD. Would also add that there as many half truths peddled by those actually involved now or previously at the club ........ their half truths are more fundamental and deceptive though

    Andy Thorn back....

    I dont think you should ever sack or discipline an employee by text or phone, it has to be face to face. However i do wonder if there was some reticence on AT's part to have a meeting that weekend...... he didnt get the sack because of 45 minutes against Bury, there were surely other...

    Mcsheffrey

    just a question because i honestly do not know i wasnt there and havent seen the goals ........ but how many corners did we score from and how many assists did McSheffery provide. From what I heard from MR on radio yesterday I got the impression he seemed to think Moussa was the most effective...

    The Secret of Crickley Hall

    I agree it was a very good read Grendel ..... hope the TV portrayal does it justice

    just my opinion but i dont believe AT's version of events from pre season to sacking any more than i believe TF's or "sisu's" (not sure we have ever heard the latter). The actual truth is somewhere in the middle of the mess they all created. None of them are very good at taking responsibility...

    Peter herbert and the society of black lawyers!

    you see in one sense Herbert has achieved something........... he has got us all sitting up and talking around the subject however he has created more negatives than positives because we are talking about him not racism and how to confront it, because if you read many posts here and elsewhere...

    Thanks for the update jan ...... good to know what is going on even if not official minutes "Rent and acquisition discussions still ongoing. Was revealed that whilst club is not paying any of the agreed rent it is doing a Pay as You Play arrangement with ACL to cover match day running costs...

    largely the way of football these days though ........ there is a significant change in staff at most clubs each summer..... the key is getting the right ones in isnt it ?

    wont know for sure wingy till 2012 accounts come out but i wonder how that net amount compares to other clubs ? this makes an interesting read http://www.thescratchingshed.com/2012/04/championship-clubs-financial-results-2010-11/ our turnover 2011 10.3m and 2010 9.3m our wage bill 2011...

    Andy Thorn back....

    was responding to the quote from another poster MMM on that particular point but it maybe i have misunderstood the context. But there is always a budget, no budget is a misconception. I agree it needs to be clear which season referred to. Spending millions doesnt guarantee success and a small...

    Supporters Consultative Group

    I know they dont want to sell merchandise from a fixed shop in the city centre but what about a market stall, especially over the Xmas period ? or match days ?........ could take to different locations too

    Andy Thorn back....

    didnt he actually say that he got a text as he was leaving Ricoh to go to the Board room and no one was there when he got there, then got a phone call later ? Either text or phone call is wrong - face to face it should be. Were we not told by TF that the directors discussed it on the Sunday then...

    If you won the euro millions

    Assume £100m Euro lottery win Think i would try buy an interest in the stadium first, say the Higgs Charity shares £8m , and perhaps option to buy the balance from the council £2m. Have a pot of money for further investment there £10m. Would give prospect of future income to the club, and...

    Player Contracts

    The players have to be willing to sign those longer term contracts that we offer .......... clearly Westwood, King, Gunnarrson etc were not prepared to assuming they were offered. In the end CCFc were left with no option but to let Westwood leave on a free, we couldnt afford to pay his wage...

    Robins wants new loan signings

    Clearly there is a big gap between what MR has got and what he needs in terms of the squad. Wouldnt disagree with him if he came straight out and said the squad isnt good enough at the moment. Key to anything happening is players going the other way ........ which is dependent on players...
