    You know the saying "Only in America?" Well they should change that to ..

    He went for one of two reasons: A: It was discovered that he was UK based and we already have one Director living in this country so any more would be overloading it. B: He asked for a budget and got upset when Ken and Clouty just laughed in his face - "same as last years ho ho" The...

    I 100% agree with you OSB about fan representation at board level and in the interests of fairness I have to tell you that ranson was as much against this as SISU themselves. During the takeover I had a minor role with the Trust and several meetings were held with ranson who made noises...

    where has the sub board gone?

    It was faulty - no matter how shite he played the board wouldn't display the number 7

    ps - I was adding on the legendary £30m they claim to have already invested. (30 + 10)/.25=160

    But why would the council sell them the other half of ACL at a discounted price? Doubt that ACL, via the council 50%, are manipulating their profits so as to pay less to, effectively, themseves.

    Even if they did have half the stadium it will be decades before they are seeing a profit on their initial investment (the so called £30million) and the cost of buying the 50%, say £10m. If ACL makes £1m profit a year and is allowed to pay out 50% as dividends that would earn them £250k a year -...

    They have had three and a half years to buy 50% share from the Higgs Trust at a fixed formula price that I believe is way below market value but but they haven't done it and this option is running out soon - not sure exactly when - so is the lack of investment in the team simply to divert funds...

    Main reason I want to know who these investors are is that if they think Cov City was a viable investment then I have a castle in Warwick that I am turning into luxury flats that they may want to invest in or failing that I have some magic beans to sell. I guess Igwe's brother in the Nigerian...

    New Bid!!!

    Falling gates?? Surely Health and Safety should investigate and ban them before someone gets trapped under a falling gate and them burned to a cinder by an inflammable flag.

    Clive Platt

    If the future is ROD and Platt then we might as well start booking tickets to watch Chesterfield, Yeovil and Carlisle next season

    How bad are we really?

    Agree with Otis that lack of goals is critical but also the the inexperience of the squad - we are now so reliant on kids that any injury to key players, which is going to happen during a season, is going to leave us in deep do do. We also have three senior pros who are not contributing as much...

    intresting article

    Do I care who owns us - not really. Do I care that no one is investing in the club - yes Do I care that Onye and his poodles are constantly using thousands of words to mislead or simply to say nothing - not really, have come to expect nothing better from this shower. The hypocrisy is there for...

    Attendance Vs blackpool

    Ashdown - maybe a touch harsh but I really think the last few games of last season under AT we played some superb attacking football but two of the main fulcrums of this, King up front and Gunnarson driving from midfield have gone and not been replaced adequately or like for like. Whilst Cody...

    Attendance Vs blackpool

    It was 12309 on Saturday with 1000 from Reading - midweek would expect Blackpool to bring half that at best, there is Champions league footy on tv both Man City and Manure on, not a great performance on Saturday, less freebie school attendances for midweek game, no excitement around the club or...

    Hoffman in the Sunday Telegraph

    Nick - can I suggest you pull this thread before it becomes libellous - accusing someone of breaking the law by drunk driving without any evidence is dangerous ground I would have thought.

    Shame Cody McDonald didn't play today

    Far too early to be writing him off. Did ok at ipswich and only prevented from scoring by great goal line clearance - today was up against better defence and looked jaded - 3 games in quick succession with little training may have caught up with him. But Platt and ROD are playing 2 leagues above...

    Juke

    Needs to work on shooting with his right foot, too often tries to get it onto his stronger left and defenders know this and read it. Needs to shoot earlier and have more confidence, doesn't need to burst the net with every shot - first priority is get shot away second is get it on Target, take...
