Great analysis as ever, OSB. I'm sorry to hear you've not been well, but as others have said it clearly hasn't diminshed your intellect! Your logic looks sound, as usual, but my gut feel (fwiw) is still that as a business you can't keep rolling over debt forever without it catching up on you...

I'm in. First suggestion, let's move Otis to Head of Transport, he's a natural.

Don't forget the new 200,000 seater stadium (which you've almost got planning permission for), complete with sliding roof, pitches, Harrods outlet, and most importantly, wheels, so that we can move it somewhere else when you fall out with the Council. ;)

I think the thing about refinancing, is that next time they're going to have to pay even more interest to draw people in. That's a combination of rates slowly rising, and increased risk. That has to be a drain on profit, and I don't think it can go on forever...

So calling people deluded and radicalised because they don't share your view of things isn't insulting? Unbelievable.

Of course, it's similarly one-eyed to ignore all of the Council's faults in this, all of the bullshit around the Wasps deal etc., but then people are often blind to their own biases.

Steady on now. I'd say that both OCD and depression are on a spectrum. There's no switch that suddenly flips you from 'low mood' into 'clinical depression', and indeed different doctors might diagnose people with the same symptoms enitrely differently. And there are plenty of people with...

At the risk of getting drawn into a very old argument here, there are a few points that you're clearly overlooking. The first one is that the Council told a huge lie right at the start of selling to Wasps. It's well documented, and it's along the lines of 'we need to build trust before talking...

If? ;)

Because people hate politicians and he's clever enough to avoid being seen as one? See Trump. Boris isn't as dangerous as Trump, because he does have some vestigial intelligence, but I'm sure he's as much of a narcissist, willing to do or say anything that gets him what he wants regardless of...

Possibly for some Stu mate, so it's a fair point, but it's not true for everyone. I'd want no part of supporting the Wasps franchise, even if it was of benefit to CCFC. I don't want to see Wasps genuine fans suffer, as they've had enough of that already - however I want their club out of the...

Surely not Otis, I thought you still had a few hundred returns to Wembley Park to shift? :)

Hmm. Wonder why the council didn't sell it on the open market last time then? Regardless, there are hardly likely to be a large amount of takers for a purpose-built 32,000 stadium with no long term tenant. Unless perhaps we can attract another 'nomadic' rugby club from London. Hey, maybe...

Pipped to it. D'oh!

I don't suppose there's any chance of my getting it on Super 8 then...

With all respect, the issue here is that the facts don't match his story in a number of places. Pointing that out isn't sticking the knife in - if he doesn't make false claims (about, say, meeting people from the club) then he doesn't get called out on them. Getting out from under SISU would...

I don't know about a fraud, but hasn't he already been caught in a number of untruths. He's not in a court of law here, but if he expects to be trusted then he'll have to earn it. What you're seeing here aren't personal attacks, but healthy scepticism. I wish we'd had more of it when SISU...

Haven't heard anyone say 'thrape' in ages. Top word. :)

Yes, I'd be upset by this. It's an unnecessary policy. In fact as a parent I'd be asking what you were doing as a teacher in this day and age with this kind of attitude? Children at this age shouldn't be scared of asking to go to the toilet; the risk here is either that the child has an...

Wearing a silly hat is 'unorthodox', lying about meeting someone is, well, lying. I don't know why it bothers you so much so that it's being pointed out that there are more than a few gaping holes in his story... I'd be delighted to see SISU go, but I'm not so keen on being used as part of...
