I also feel Jan and the trust try hard to be objective. At least they don't present false stats or opinions as facts.

One can be independent and listen objectively to arguments on both sides of an issue. Then you can come down in favour of one side. It is what judges and juries the world over practise. Maybe Jan and the Trust have done that and drawn very logical conclusions. That is not evidence of bias but...

We get it. You don't like Elvis. The rest is mindless twaddle. Stop stating your ridiculous opinion as if it is a fact.

If that is true a certain group Of club owners (which cannot be named and this is hypothetical, libel lawyers) are either, 1) Terrible businessmen, pouring money down a drain. Or 2) Creative accountants... Using every tax avoidance strategy etc. to fund a certain football club (hypothetical...

This is what I meant when I said the Elvis jokes are disrespectful. Elvis was ill ... But it is OK to joke about the illness that killed him. Do your research .. Or carry on with the ignorant banter ...

Yes it is tedious to emasculate an erudite individual with spelling corrections ... But... For people who read fluently spelling mistakes stop you in your tracks, you lose your thread and have to start again. That is why the spelling police get so upset. They learned to read well and need...

The Elvis puns will annoy me for the opposite reason than nonleague gave. Elvis is treated as some sort of joke when he was a legendary talent. Sinatra, Ella, Duke, Lennon etc don't get this infantile coverage. Those who are too young to remember Elvis will never take him seriously, which is a...

I was hoping all of them were. On current form only Murphy and LC would be hard to replace.

Oops, does this mean CCFC if a quango? (SBTaylor will let us know, I expect)

Sky blue Sam would not clear his desk ... he might pack his trunk though :claping hands:

I also have sky mainly for the excellent cricket coverage. Far too much football on and of much lower quality than the cricket

ACL is not funded by the government.

BTW Oakey did not shy away ... I was at work. Just got home.

SBTaylor, ACL is not a quango. You may be able to use google to find an example of a limited company that was once a quango or vice versa but that still doesn't make ACL a quango. You call it a charity in other posts. Confusing use of terms = obfuscation.

Let it lie chaps. What cj said or didn't say is not the issue. The future of Coventry City is the issue.

They do not debate, they obfuscate ...:facepalm:

ACL is not a quango. It is a limited company ... very different beastie. For evidence of the progress of council owned clubs we should watch Valencia's progress with interest. ;)

SBTaylor, why do you call ACL a quango? It is not.

Well, as ACL are a company I can think of no legal reason why they would be unable to buy a football club. The council would not want to buy a football club but they could do what Portsmouth council did and loan an interested party like a supporters group a chunk of money to bid for a club...

Question for SBTaylor, Grendel et al: If ACL ended up owning ccfc outright would you switch sides and applaud our new owners and back them to the hilt?
