    Coventry V Leeds Extended Highlights

    seemed a fair report by LUTV and didnt quite match their managers view of the game. As their commentator put coventry the better side of the two on the night

    one thing the "keep thorn" brigade needs to understand......

    Yes he was, my mistake :facepalm: but it doesnt actually change anything i said in the post NLHWC :) General comment Would also add that in my opinion there isnt one city fan that wants to see the team fail - as AT is inextricably linked to the success or failure of the team no one wants to...

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    no it doesnt - i think it means that an extra club would come into League 2.

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    All clubs are supposed to report any HMRC payment defaults within 2 days of the default and a default should place that club under a transfer embargo, and the FL could require the club to work to a budget. Also the FL has the power to contact HMRC direct to monitor if payments are being made...

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    Would confirm what BSB says. points expunged and 1 less relegation place its covered by FL rule 12.2.1 http://www.football-league.co.uk/regulations/20110629/section-3-the-league_2293633_2125717

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    I understand your point Real and agree to a point ............ But ...............so while we struggle with getting our own financial affairs in order we accept that we go down and make it even harder for ourselves in doing so .............. but teams that sign players way beyond their means...

    Hreidarsson out for rest of season

    Really do not recall anyone saying AT has got it easy not sure anyone would. He has and will make mistakes and if we stay up then he will have contributed positively & negatively to that but it wont be down to just him .......... the biggest reason will be the players (especially the...

    Top Championship Strikers

    Who is best or better is just opinion - strikers are there to score goals first and foremost and having scored 11 this season that puts him in with the top strikers in this division on that basis

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    Could have sold a player or two during the transfer window and paid their debts but took delight in saying they kept everyone :facepalm: Sooner the "football debt" rule is abolished the better - there is no justification for it and it is the likes of you and me that carry cost whilst those that...

    one thing the "keep thorn" brigade needs to understand......

    Blackpool used the same tactic against us at the Ricoh and that left our fullbacks very exposed particularly Hussey who got absolutely hammered for his performance that day some. It wasnt a new, unknown or even unexpected tactic. Another manager could do worse could do better - would...

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    Appleton can say what he likes it isnt in his hands - if the plan comes out as slashing wages and selling players because that is what the creditors (HMRC in particular) want then they will have to do it no matter how much the manager bleats. I think Appleton was very ill advised to make such a...

    Portsmouth- what on earth

    I would have thought it would be harder to prove to the courts the 2nd time around - judge likely to be more sceptical of any figures particularly as the previous ones didnt ring true. Without looking at the figures it is hard to say but they have appointed insolvency experts to deal with their...

    Thorn Reality

    It isnt about whether it is negative or positive wrong or right it is just opinion and if the future of our club is so seriously damaged because a group of highly paid players managers or staff are devastated by a few electronic dots on a screen then we truly are in a mess. I agree in a...

    Thorn Reality

    in your opinion......................... others might see it differently ........... "i of course Minister couldnt possibly comment" Bottom line is we all want CCFC to succeed (that is the club of which individuals form part and are transitory) but we all have healthy valid opinions as to how...

    Fixtures to come

    I think what ever we realistically do we are now reliant on other teams doing worse or going into administration. To target 7 or 8 wins from 15 games plus a couple or three draws is a hell of an ask for a team that rarely achieves such form in the last 10 years but i guess all things are...
