I enjoyed that, in truth - we’re five weeks behind them in terms of preparation and there isn’t anyone out there letting the side down. Back line looks well organised and willing to get stuck in, midfield of Kelly and Hamer is very promising. 2-0 is no disgrace. If we played them again in a...

I honestly don't recall any NDAs for the club purchase - only having to give up our shares to allow it to go through. Regardless, I don't see that it changes things - somewhere here isn't telling the whole truth, quite possibly both sides. Either side can ask for the NDA to be dropped - if...

You could well be right but if I was running CCFC's PR and that was the case, I'd be making it a lot more public that we want to drop the NDA and allow the facts of the proposed deal speak for themselves.

There are some decent councillors out there - I've met them. Some do the job out of an old-fashioned desire to help other people and improve the City, some do it to raise their own profile and climb the greasy pole into political office, and some do it because of the opportunities for...

Also, something that made me smile wryly (my piss having long since boiled away to steam), Wasps, formerly London Wasps, had the brass bollocks to say this... Ho ho ho. Hello pot, have you met kettle?

Just to summarise then, Wasps say... CCFC say... Personally, I sense there's a play on words going on here in regard to Wasps' definition of indemnity, and I find it hard to believe that the club wouldn't play at the Ricoh if there's an offer on the table broadly equivalent to the deal we...

Pedant alert: I think it's Richardson at Wasps - wasn't Robinson our sugar daddy? :) Regardless, even if there was an endless supply of money (which there clearly isn't, hence the bond issue), rugby operates a salary cap so it wouldn't make it to the playing side. Another twitter numpty with...

I think it would be a public duty to say something like, “I can’t believe they’re showing this for free on <link here>, surely this shouldn’t be allowed?” How will people learn if they’re not told. :)

Have a like, because I appreciate the effort to explain it. I’ll need to have a read through to get my head around it because I’m absolutely knackered in all honesty. It’s probably the excitement of some stadium news that doesn’t seem completely fictional! :)

It's odd isn't it. The same people who raged endlessly (and usually, incorrectly) about interference from the EU in regard to things like straight bananas have nothing to say at all in regard to Russian interference in our core domestic processes. Is it just me, or does Mr Cummings three years...

Lord no, many thanks but I waste enough time already on here! :)

Fair point, but two things to add here. The complaint to the EU was and is not legal action, and it cannot be dropped, I'd never picked up that Wasps were asking for indemnity against future legal action on the back of a successful complaint. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'd be genuinely...

To give credit where it's due, SISU have had no problems with landlords other than ACL/CCC and Wasps. And let's be honest about that, it's clear that all of the parties involved in that fiasco were playing their own grubby little games. For my money, you'd be daft to shake hands on a deal with...

They're just not getting it on the Wasps forum, are they? Unless I've completely misunderstood the club agreed to cease legal action, but the complaint to the EU cannot be dropped. The sticking point then became Wasps insistence on an indemnity clause, in case Coventry City Council were found...

There isn't always agreement between Councils though, is there - the King's Hill development was pushed through against the wishes of Kenilworth and other councils. If you don't think council messing is a possibility, then what the hell was going on when Coventry City Council got wind of a...

I doubt the Trust will hold off on a response for too long, NW, as least this one has the value of making the media aware that they aren't the sole source for supporters' opinions. If for no other reason, I think that's a good reason to have got this out quickly.

I'm struggling to see where it's possible to pick holes in that statement, as written. It's impossible to go into all of the specifics that we might consider to be the hallmarks of a bad deal at the Ricoh, and if you tried, then it would be far too complex to be used as a press release. (And...

Yep, that’s a fair point. I think the other thing that’s happening is the state of Israel is keen to suppress criticism of its actions towards Palestinians. That sometimes means framing reasonable debate as anti-Semitic, when it quite clearly isn’t. I think it’s the left that fall foul of...

I’m not entirely sure about that. Antisemitism really isn’t a left-wing thing in my experience. I’d argue that this is the side that stands fully against all racism, overt, covert, and institutional. Labour not doing enough to kick out the odd nutter is certainly a point of concern, but let’s...

Happy days, basically. Quality player, who clearly wants to play for us. Played his heart out when he was on loan, I can only see him getting better.
