Those subs baffling. Kane was doing ok. Bidwell not. Why put Maatsen in the right and leave that dumpling on?

Ok. Watch that back. Bidwell far too slow.

I did say please no Waghorn. I’ve written him off now.

Back line always looks better when Fadz is marshalling. Am I allowed to say Maatsen needs to come on without being accused of writing off Bidwell? Bidwell isn’t playing brilliantly and I prefer Maatsen but it doesn’t mean I’m writing off Bidwell. Shipley is so frustrating. Some lovely passes...

I’m not so sure I agree about the funding. Whenever grants are involved for big chunks and there’s an institution like Warwick Uni involved then funding isn’t impossible. Let’s not forget, CCFC will be seen as a sensible source of revenue for servicing debt. Add on the concessions like F&B...

I’m not so stupid as to understand legal costs implications of just “dropping hands” without a deal. It’s often the costs in bringing / defending a case that outstrip the original argument. Some kind of deal has been done to desist else CCC would be able to go straight after SISU for costs. I’m...

Anyone involved in high level litigation will know that the mere existence of an ongoing case is a headache. Try getting a commercial litigation lawyer to say: “it’s ok CCC, they’ve no chance, you’re home and dry”. Nope. There was risk to CCC in this case, I can’t see SISU letting the case...

The one thing that has really annoyed me is this impression that the Cllrs give that they somehow had the right to do whatever they wanted with the Ricoh and the lease. The stadium didn’t belong to Anne Lucas and co., it belonged to Coventry. As in the City of Coventry, the citizens of Coventry...

It may well be SISU who are currently in control of the Club, but let’s not forget that it is CCFC as an entity that suffered. CCFC, in my opinion, got shafted by the council in favour of Wasps. CCFC initially started the project and were given certain promises and there was a bone of...

I think what we now have are options. Kane and Bidwell are probably better natural full backs than Maatsen and Dabo. Maatsen and Dabo are better wing backs than Kane and Bidwell. Having the option of switching the play to be more defensive when winning / viceversa were the thoughts behind...

Having read all that, I’ll repeat my earlier assertions: They need 60m to walk away. They’ll take 60m since it plugs their hole in their investment portfolio and CCFC is a risky debt. Imagine MR leaves and we get relegated. Remember Fisher talking about “bottom of cycle”. At the moment we are...

He needed to go on loan somewhere like 2nd tier Holland. Not to L2 cloggers or Scotland where he’d be hacked and bashed.

Having read the article, the key is the 61m of debt converted to shares. A chunk of the “debt” there was the Robinson loan (£30m?) and similar moved over from the original SISU deal I believe. Anyone know different? That money was to be repaid upon return to the PL but I can’t recall if there...

Let’s have a kick around on this. Firstly, SISU are a hedge fund investing other people’s money. They cannot afford to sell the club at less than they have the share values on their investment balance sheet. If they do, they crystalize their losses and will have an investment hole. So long as...

No leadership.

Seems to be a lack of leadership on the pitch to me. No one rousing the troops or marshalling the defence.

O’Hare needs to have a goal fly in from a fluke and he’ll get 10 in short order.

I think the point that some are trying to make is that at 32 suggesting “he needs time” or some notion that he’s developing isn’t right. He was signed as an experienced player who should be able to cut it at this level. He hasn’t cut it. We won’t be able to shift him on for a fee. It...

He missed a few today. The one against the keeper’s legs was awful. A decent Champ striker would have lifted over / hit round / found angle to move and hit. There’ll be a few on here making excuses about “being rusty” but sorry, still think he was a bad use of budget.
