Get over yourself mate, even Corbyn has said this is wrong, stop trying to deflect from the utter and well documented corruption of the people actually in charge now. Who was in charge in this country in 2014, when Crimea was annexed? I'll answer for you, Tories. What did they do? Fuck all...

Not bad, but they could do with sorting out that big puddle to the left. If it was any bigger it could be a Coventry pothole.

Not all down to Brexit, but only an idiot could argue that destabilising the EU hasn't been Putin's objective for a long time. All those 'patriots' doing Russia's bidding, eh. https://www.thearticle.com/the-russia-report-who-paid-for-brexit And all that Russian money flowing into the Tory...

Funny isn't it. These ultra-right Brexit loons, who wrap themselves in the flag and accuse anyone to the left of Attila the Hun of hating the country, have actually been doing Russia's dirty work for them all along...

There's absolutely no way Putin does this if Ukraine is part of NATO. An unintended consequence of this madness will be absolutely what Putin hates, NATO membership increasing elsewhere.

Politely disagree, this suits China very nicely. A weaker Russia and a distracted NATO is very handy for their global interests, imho, which is why they're staying on the sidelines. What the West does now might well influence their approach to Taiwan though...

No one, other than Putin, wants war in Ukraine. Describing it as you do elsewhere, as a 'little wander', is frankly ridiculous. Ukraine has only ever wanted peaceful co-existence with Russia, and a right to democracy and self-determination. It gave up its nuclear weapons when Russia pledged...

I think this invasion of Ukraine will almost certainly, probably, possibly, slow down Putin's application for the House of Lords, unless he can pay for some further redecoration of No. 10 or bump off a few awkward journos for Boris. In the meantime, I have absolutely no doubt that we have the...

I sense unhappiness, Moff. :) It's a fair point though, I'd like to see something new tried. There's no point in having him on the bench if you're never going to give him a go...

Evenings OSB, hope you're keeping well. A well argued post, as ever. I think the one thing the Council might be trying to milk out of this is political good will - "we're desperate for the club to succeed", etc. etc.. Anyone with a reasonably long memory will know the truth about that, of...

I think what struck me was just the lack of energy. Cardiff didn't look that much better in truth. I'm still happy with where we are, but maybe it's time to mix it up a bit. Robins will sort it. :)

Interesting... It makes you wonder how it could've gone for us, doesn't it.

Yes mate, apologies, not trying to pick you apart, just trying to see if there is anyone in the same boat as us, renting without income. It is the point, rightly or wrongly, that the owner's keep coming back to as justification for a new stadium.

Wikipedia says they took control of the stadium in 2018? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swansea.com_Stadium So it's not just a rental deal... https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/swansea-city-finally-take-full-14302712

100% this. What really salted the wound was the Council's added claim that they wouldn't have sold the ground unless they were certain it would have no impact on CRFC or CCFC. That was shown as either complete bullshit or utter incompetence, possibly both!

Didn't know blades shared their ground, but I'm not disputing it. What's key though, is how many of them rent without access to the other income streams? I don't know the answer, but that's always the point that SISU/Fisher come back to.

I don't think there was any way of either side reclaiming costs for the EU complaint. It was never a court case as such. However, you're spot on about the risk involved in an actual court case; there's no such thing as a certain outcome once you're in front of a judge, which is why so many...

At the end of the day, regardless of our opinions, it's about money. If, in the long term, building our own stadium with access to the full revenue streams is cheaper than renting at the Ricoh with access to none, then I think it could happen. I'm not sure it adds up unless you can get hold of...

I am baffled. The one thing I can see is the council pressuring Warwick University into making SISU back down. But what can the Uni offer CCFC that would give them that leverage over the club? The only thing I can think of is some sort of future deal regarding a new stadium, unlikely as that...

Still not sure where this new owner suddenly gets all of his money from. I know it's a bit rich coming from a CCFC fan after all of our SISU-related shenanigans, but I'm not sure that this will end well...
