    New Bid!!!

    question .......... Had the team achieved the extra 8 points AT thinks we could have and the team winning regularly would the crowds have been significantly down? The owners would be the same the financial problems not greatly different, would we have picked up returning/new fans simply by...

    New Bid!!!

    The only reasonably sure way to increase gates is success on the pitch.............. precious little of that since 1987!

    New Bid!!!

    If the bid is still on the table then why did Hoffman & co say they withdrew it ? and why is it SISU need to look at it again if they have already rejected it I dont want this done through the media - do the deal or dont. If Keys isnt part of the bid - shut up! In fact even if part of the bid...

    Gary Deegan and an injection of pace

    Question ........... to play Deagan do you play the Diamond or the more orthodox 4 4 2?. Just do not see him and Clingan in a diamond formation. Think to get best out of both of them we will need to play a flatter midfield - which we did when Deagan came on last night

    Ratings Folks

    A number of things worried me about last night The first half hour. Our senior players plus Hussey went missing and it was left to the younger more inexperienced players to keep us in the game. Simply not good enough from the likes of Bell, McSheffery, Clingan, Keogh & Hussey The tactics of...

    New article on Guardian online - 2nd on today

    just a few questions/comments ....... largely practicalities 1) what difference would knowing make 2) how would anything change by knowing 3) why is it an issue for MP's now when SISU have been here 4 years? 4) would we still owe the funds £30m if we knew their names with no real prospect of...

    So who plays tomorrow?

    you available ? bring your boots ! Would start with the same team as Saturday. Wouldnt change Keogh and Crainie because I think Phillips would be a bit too clever for Cameron just now If Christie is fit I would stick with him because of the way he gets up and down the line Think to try...

    CWR Phone In - N E I L what Planet Are You On

    Didnt hear much that was controversial from Neil. He was mainly on about getting a coach for the strikers. Dont always agree with his view point but it is usually well considered. he also goes to every game home and away I can understand the point Juggy was trying to make but I think he failed...

    McSheffrey

    Have never been a big fan of his BUT I thought he had a decent game on Saturday and on that form would rather him play in the team. My reservation is that since his return he hasnt been very consistent. But like I said no complaints from Saturday from me PUSB

    Juke

    Juke had a decent game, worked hard got in a few attempts and good link play. Wasnt one of his better days but he didnt seem to have much support. Dont see how him playing wide left increases our goal threat though - surely we dont want him crossing the balls in, we need him on the end of the...

    Le Fondre against City

    ALF looked the sharper of the two but given the preseason McDonald hasnt had then it shouldnt be a surprise. Was disappointed by McDonald though, looks over weight and on the day offered not a lot

    Why do you dislike Eastwood?

    had plenty of talent, but has poor attitude and currently sent off the Lilleshall to get fit! which kind of says it all Cant keep living on his days at Southend. Its 5 years ago and at least 5 league managers and a couple of international managers have decided he doesnt offer enough consistently...

    Unable to be there....what's the honest assessment?

    Just a few of my thoughts on the Reading game.............. Before the game I think I would have taken a draw and a decent performance so despite the fact we missed a big opportunity for 3 points I am actually not disappointed by the result or performance on that basis. But it should have been...

    SISU or Geoffrey Robinson?

    The club is worth zip wingy........... has never been a question of worth it has all been about settlement....... settlement of the SISU funds loans What is never said is how much teams like Everton etc owe to their owners. In addition to their income streams which give them credibility and...

    Wilkinson was involved too

    It is ok saying they would have resigned but a couple of points 1) The hoffman consortium should have been aware and upfront about their involvement that would have short circuited any potential problem 2) People like that are directors usually because of reputation AND financial involvement...

    SISU or Geoffrey Robinson?

    not sure about best bet certainly as it stands the only bet ............ think we have got to put to oneside SISU out or in right now on these forums . They are not likely to go before they can get a reasonable bailout and there is no one out there (hoffman included ) that is interested to the...

    Would ACL buy CCFC if we went into admin and no buyer came forward?

    Sorry Astute but CCFC is the biggest single income (which is discounted from market value) it is not even 50% of the total income. ACL turnover is £6m+ we pay a rental of between 1 and 1.5m depending on what you believe. Admittedly the rents received from the various outlets there then...

    This week will prove 1 thing about sisu

    ahhh but you see we dont need loan players ....... we have the likes of Wood, McPake, Platt, McSheffery, returning to fitness it will be like new signings...........and we havent even tried the likes of Conor Thomas and some of the other academy players.......... then there are the signings so...

    Cyber supporters

    Dont think any of us need to justify ourselves as CCFC supporters. If someone says they support CCFC then thats good enough for me. It isnt a question of how many games you get to or how much you spend etc etc ........ we each support our team in our own way, show our passion for the club in...
