    Joy will be praying for 6 points from the next 2 games. If there’s any sale of the club it’s better to be top half in touch with playoffs rather than bottom half.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    I can’t see CCC assigning the lease without protections for CCFC, it’d be politically and possibly legally) suicidal.

    Liam Kelly is probably crying into his cornflakes right now.

    I think it’s exactly the same: “buy us out either fully or partially. However, it won’t be for zero because: a) we need to balance the books b) we might hit the PL jackpot and in the meantime can tread water” Ashley was brought in to look at refinancing the bonds. I’m guessing he saw the real...

    Yep. “Mike Ashley is really rich but he used to check that his workers weren’t thieving by scanning them - the monster. HUMAN RIGHTS” Then: “I wish a rich Arab or Chinese conglomerate would come and buy us”

    Right. Tax businesses so much that they flag out abroad and we get less tax revenue to pay for the basics of society, borrow, devalue sterling etc. The EU playbook accelerated.

    I think the Council and their self-important original handling or the deal is what has got many people’s backs up. If they had said,“look SISU, we’ve got another option so if you want the Arena stop with the silly shit. Better still let’s all sit around the table because maybe having Wasps here...

    For some reason I thought that Hartson was technically a Ccfc player at the beginning of our non_prem era. He wasn’t, so Vic it is.

    Similarly, if Watford had buried those two open goals then we’d be in the relegation places, I think. We had some bad luck earlier this season but she’s been smiling on us of late.

    I thought he did well last year, he went through a stage of tearing around midfield and nipping the ball off toes, little give and goes out wide with Dabo and Maatsen. This year I’ve been less impressed. Good assist today but other than that there hasn’t been the wing-back link up and he’s been...

    Ashley strikes me as the type of bloke that has to get a bargain to get that sense of “winning”, that sense that he’s outthought the establishment / another businessman/woman. Look at Sports Direct and how he’s made that and now House of Fraser. But then again he flies everywhere in a chopper -...

    We need to bring some in, that is true. Not a loan, but did anyone catch Connor Wickham today playing for Forest Green? It was on BBC (I’ve been laid up with a broken metatarsal so I’ve been watching more footy than normal. Division 10 (or whatever) South Shields v Forest Green - go on then)...

    I think MR had a bit of a strop when Hyam was sold and we didn’t get a replacement. Didn’t we have a match or two where he didn’t name a full bench? (surely he could have put a couple of U21’s in). If MR wasn’t happy it would have spread throughout the squad. Add to this the pitch issues and...

    Captain invisible. He’d be useful on the pitch - he’d literally tackle out of nowhere.

    A franchise for MLS is what, $200m to enter the league? What is an established brand in the Championship worth? Nothing on your assertion. You, sir, are totally clueless. Stick to sarky comments.
