    Conor Thomas - I am much happier now I am back

    Think that you misunderstand what I was saying Rev :) See no reason to rest them if they are playing well, and frankly if they are good enough then they are old enough - I totally agree with you about developing our own players and giving them a chance. My worry is when they do dip that there...

    Conor Thomas - I am much happier now I am back

    Seems a sensible lad to me and I am glad to see him back at CCFC. I hope he does well and I hope the fans give him proper time to develop I think the key with having a lot of young lads, aside from a decent mix of senior players to go with them, is to have a big enough squad to give the...

    Kick up the back side?

    Havent been surprised but I have been very disappointed by the comments most have made about Eastwood. They should all have been buzzing to play and from what I have read he wasnt. Somehow I doubt even a strategically placed stick of dynamite would spark him into anything like a decent...

    In 3 years time...

    Keep seeing people say about having a major financial backer prepared to throw money at the club (Jack this isnt aimed specifically at you its a general comment) ............. but that only works if that backer is prepared to write that money off, very very few do that. The money they put into...

    Leeds make bid for Clingan

    Before we all slit our wrists or jump off the nearest bridge .......... They made an enquiry, bet they have asked about lots of players at different teams thats what happens in the transfer window. It does not mean that there is an offer or it has been accepted or that SISU are interested in...

    Lack of gratitude?

    Lack of gratitude?

    :D nah It really isnt that important Rob - if he thinks he won I am really not bothered, I think I have done enough to prove I am not an entirely witless Sky Blue fan :D though I admit to having some moments - I bought a season ticket after all and keep going back season after season for...

    In memory of Rosalind Cooke

    Wouldnt presume to know but I would assume that her's and your families Rob would welcome some sort of a celebration of her life and achievements at CCFC. I really think that far too often people like her are overlooked and undervalued and the reality is clubs cannot operate well without them...

    Lack of gratitude?

    Gee only an expression of opinion chap and in the scheme of things not important. However the purpose of a forum is to exchange views or opinions on matters big or small AND not to be derided or belttled for doing it And to be honest I really cannot take seriously being chided for expressing...

    Current wage savings

    In the 2010 accounts the total wages bill was £10.3m thats nearly £860,000 per month. Even with the savings i put in my original calculation that only reduces the wage bill to £635000 per month or £146500 per week (in round figs) Uk average wage is around £26k per annum in 2010 CCFC had 94...
