I agree with business / corporate and I believe that SOME young / casual fans would go to watch top quality Rugby if CCFC were no more. The question is would those revenue streams exceed the rent and add ons from CCFC. 500 fans (5% for the sake of argument - not a mad thought) switching and...

I think you're right- couldn't remember. I have a vague recollection of BG protesting / threatening to resign or actually resigning over PN's prospective sale to Leeds for about 3 or 5 million. I also have a dim thought that he then got sold for about 1m plus instalments about a year later - in...

Wasps will always see CCFC as a competitor for the disposable income of Coventry sports fans, just like the NFL in USA see "Soccer" as a competitor. There is a rent income balance but let's say getting an extra 3000 fans (if CCFC went altogether) which may generate £500 per year each (£1.5 m) v...

The Uni thing could work, yes I agree - good idea Lefty Council have any spite towards "Big arrogant London Tory type Business SISU"? Of course not. Is GR a Labour Politico with a grudge and possibly some influence? Of course not. Was there a whiff of spite in the Wasps deal? Of...

Robinson made a mistake with his deal with the time expiry. Schoolboy error - the long deal in a family trust would have at least had a shred of hope. SISU need to park their debt and the club needs to have them (SISU) distanced from them to get a land deal in the City Anybody got a...

Two things 1) the careful use if the phrase "Hoffman Style (ie someone who cares a bit - which I'm sure most people believe he does / did and most people have the good sense to know made a mistake out of trying to do good rather than malice) Repeat Hoffman style - ie cares - not Hoffman...

Good call, would probably do it for nothing and that fits I with SISU budget. Did BG find Ndlovu?, cannot remember.

Only viable Exit Stratagy for SISU: Sell / pass on the club to a Hoffman style consortium (ie someone who Actually cares a little) for a £0 fee and a promissory contract (with no expiry date) that pays of the SISU debt off when CCFC reach Prem. (Let's say £5m when Champ is reached, and 50pc...

After Roland and Money, we had Black. Black was doing okay but then we brought in the Legend Archie Knox as his number 2 (former asst to Alex Ferguson at Aberdeen and Man Utd who had then done several years as asst at Rangers at a time that they won everything going). I remember thinking what a...

For Pressley It's "Now or Never" that we should "Return to Sender". Some say "Don't be Cruel", but I think he's "The Devil in Disguise" that will only take us "Way Down". I'll get my coat.

That 45 mins against Peterborough got SP some more time. Had he have lost that and lost Yesterday then I think the serious protests would have started.

SP's four year contract must have some break or escape clauses - I'm sure that SISU must have learned from the mistakes of Ken D and co. TF Would come out in support no matter what. If he says anything else and SP quits and claims unfair dismissal due to lack of media support, SISU pay...

How many times have Directors come out in support of the manager, only to be wielding the axe a few days later?

But Elvis isn't dead 'cos I heard him on the radio.

From a pure business point of view, it is better to take the money rather than regret later. For every Wilson there's a Mifsud (offered £, ended up going for 0), a Clingan (offered £ from Leeds - free after) not to mention the fact he had a series of injuries. Pace players like Wilson peak in...

I think Dowie was given a rough deal. IIRC Ranson had Coleman lined up even before the takeover. Wiki : "On 11 February 2008, Dowie was released from his contract as Coventry manager,[18] which was officially cited as being due to significant differences of opinion between the management...

Lining up for Hemel Hempstead against Nuneaton Town today. Was tipped for great things.

Thanks, wasn't sure of legalities, didn't know he was originally turned down right of appeal. Always good to ask the difficult questions. After all, it's better to be a fool for a minute than an idiot for life.

Just a question for any legally astute posters, if he is given leave / right to appeal on the basis of NEW EVIDENCE or similar, does his status revert back to "innocent until proven guilty?" For the sake of clarity, it is abhorrent to even think of signing up a convicted rapist. In this case...

Sufc paid over £3m for him. I'm surprised that sisu (who like Court Appeals and have zero scruples) haven't picked up on that and thought "hmmm.... A good player for nothing, if he wins that's £3m for nothing." He was good in his last season, aged 22. 35 goals.
