    SCG Minutes from 5th March meeting

    Wouldn't they tell us?

    SCG Minutes from 5th March meeting

    All fair enough OSB - but if Fisher made a genuine offer to pick up the phone and talk about it, then I think the trust should try it. At the moment the Trust have got themselves into an antagonistic position with the club, and seemingly with Fisher personally, and seem determined to continue...

    SCG Minutes from 5th March meeting

    I absolutely agree. I'd genuinely move past it and try to engage on the bigger issue, which is how the club could afford the new ground.

    And again, and I'm really bored of saying this - what exactly does anyone think Wasps are going to give the club? Both clubs claim (legitimately enough, looking at the books) to need access to the 24/7/365 revenues from ACL. Only one club can have them.

    SCG Minutes from 5th March meeting

    So you'd agree then that there could have been discussions that might not make into an FOI? Why this gets people so excited is beyond me - it's an argument about precisely nothing. Both RBC and Fisher could be actually be telling the truth here, there seems to be absolutely no understanding...

    SCG Minutes from 5th March meeting

    I can't quite follow the logic here. Fisher's said that he could've explained it in a conversation, and seemingly opened the door to have that conversation. But instead of doing that, what you seem to be suggesting is that it's better to have a row at the SCG or publish press releases on the...

    SCG Minutes from 5th March meeting

    No discussions, or no meaningful discussions? I think it's entirely possible that someone from CBRE might have had a ten minute phone call with a planning officer, regarding their thoughts on the possiblity of a ground in location x, or a training facility in location y, and that either not...

    The Givers and the Takers

    Konjic as a giver too. The nicest player I've ever met, and the only man I've seen try to tackle the ball on the ground with his face. McGrath is my absolute hero, but Konjic is a man who understood bravery in every sense of the word.

    The Givers and the Takers

    I can't have Telfer as a taker. He might have been limited, but he didn't half graft and put his tackles in. He pretty much cut Boateng in half, presumably to pay him back for going to Villa. Bellamy as the worst taker, for me - although not helped the mystery Strachan positioning of him and...

    The Givers and the Takers

    Yep. Thank you, Bobby Gould - bless him, he had some daft ideas.

    The Givers and the Takers

    I don't think that's quite fair Hobo. He certainly didn't look to try to play defence splitting passes or go on mazy runs, but he was quite capable of winning the ball and laying it off neatly enough to someone better equipped to do that work. As evidence, go watch that FA Cup Final DVD again...

    No scouts

    Seems like we had four just over a year ago. http://www.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/city_upgrade_scouting_department_825947/index.shtml Did we stop paying them too? ;)

    Council Less Reid JLR CCFC

    As someone who worked for Jaguar, and Land Rover, and JLR combined, and Rover for that matter, I've got to say that's not a view that I'd agree with. By the time Browns Lane was shut down, it had a quality and production record second to none. A lot of good, clever, hard-working people there...

    Too many games...

    Without wishing to be unfair to Burge, you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. I can't remember too many keepers going backwards under Oggy's stewardship, unlike a lot of outfield players I can think of (many of whom clearly seem to have improved more at other clubs than they have under...

    Mostly like ours, but with a lot more zeros at the end of some of the numbers? :)

    Pressley suing CCFC

    I think that would only apply to a redundancy situation, which wouldn't apply here because we haven't made the manager's post redundant. But then I'm not a solicitor... so I could be entirely wrong! Either way, I'd agree that this probably won't be the thing that tips us back into insolvency...

    a Friday joke

    Pavlov created an experiment where he'd feed a dog, and ring a bell or a buzzer at the same time. Eventually, the dog learnt that the bell meant food, and started to salivate before the food was presented. Known as a pavlovian or conditioned response. Being a drinker of a certain age, every...

    I presume they've been sacrificing goats over in Leicester, this to make the sun come back. Couldn't find any virgins, obviously. :)

    For God's sake, haven't we got enough midfielders in the squad now. I demand another striker. ;)

    Pressley suing CCFC

    I'd be surprised if this wasn't pretty clear-cut. It's hard to imagine an employment contract that doesn't cover notice periods and suchlike - I'm presuming SISU are just trying to drag it out in the hope that he might settle for less. Unless the club really are completely broke, which I doubt...
