    Article: Player Ratings v Leicester

    very fair assessment jan 9/10 :p Worrying thing is that McSheffery is supposed to be mentoring our young lads!. He was poor yesterday. That run of Jukes proved another thing - if you turned the fester backline they struggled. He was crying out for a bit of help upfront but we were...

    heard from a very good source

    so please explain how the full text of what you wrote was not judgemental of folk you know nothing about ? Bottom line is you had a piece of gossip from someone that is "connected " in business terms with SISU that you shared. None of us including you know if it is true and only time will...

    Gary Hoffman

    going back to GH - I am not sure that his offer is the only game in town, Think it might be the only one advertised. People should keep an open mind and not pin their hopes on the one. As I keep saying believe it when I see it

    still have to pay the rent - buying 50% wont change that it works only if the 50% purchase is a stepping stone to getting 100%. Plus the £10m price guarantee has a finite life and is below market value so makes sense in that respect to get as cheap as possible so long as there is a plan to own...

    Crowd

    so we have never had any owners that have shown ambition then ? or do you mean only the current ones dont? and that lot (fester)have for the last 10 years been consistently a lot higher than ours including in the 1st division. Also a lot of the figures for fester relate to the 2nd level of...

    edgy - if they buy half the shares it does not mean they get given half the income - and yes that is a fact. ACL is a seperate legal entity, just like if you owned shares in BP it doesnt mean you have a share of their turnover, you may get a dividend. ACL cannot pay dividends as yet because they...

    Crowd

    Low crowds are a fact of life for CCFC. It doesnt appear to be just about the stadium or the price or even success (1987 was at similar levels to now!) http://www.european-football-statistics.co.uk/attnclub/covc.htm We do not and have never had a great fan base(late 60's apart)........ and...

    I cannot and would not question GH's passion for CCFC - it is clear. Certainly I am not a fan of SISU or the current Board but not all of what they are doing is wrong or can really be criticised Think folk miss some of the real points at times though GH or anyone else taking over will still...

    heard from a very good source

    aside from the fact that it isnt SISU that own us but the investment funds they manage. The drop in the markets as yet has not reached the values of 3 years ago and will affect all investors including GH's backers and others - so will affect anyone elses ability to take over from SISU. Of course...

    Proposition that should/could possibly be discussed?

    pointless discussion agree with mattylad and others planning unlikely - timescale 3 to 5 years - dropping to 25k capacity wont mean full ground or better atmosphere - financial penalties for breaking our tenure at the Ricoh - if we cant afford £500k for a player how would be even afford the...

    BBC 5 Live

    Would agree with you Otis ...... was a similar report on Sky ..... apparently we are now in the East Midlands and only shot we had was Clingans in the second half! Think powers that be have decided Fester is the team to watch this season and tinted their reports accordingly. Apart from the...

    24th August - Hoffmans Backers meet the SISU Puppets

    transfer window closes 31/08 Just a thought but perhaps the meeting is the result of the two new directors and is to see if there is any common ground or put it all to bed as far as GH is concerned. It may be that they ask the backers to consider investment in rather than purchase of CCFC...

    Time to mobilise and get SISU out.

    Got to agree with ashbyjan SISU wont notice it. Will be honest I have no enthusiasm for something that will make sod all difference anyway Keep hearing we need to do this and we need to do that, but never happens does it ..... well go on then do it

    Transfer embargo

    except McSheffrey started up front with Juke - and we didnt start with a 5 man midfield but there you go. As far as I am aware the contract extensions were signed Thursday - plus Football League Rule 16.20.3 refers to new contracts of existing players also (an extension is a new contract...

    My Thoughts From Today

    Got to agree with your summing up and marks Shmmmee with maybe a 5 for McSheffery. Thought he was anonymous today. He started as a frontman with Juke and it does not work McSheffery simply doesnt know what runs to make to be able to work with Juke. Looked better dropping back but simply not good...

    Carl Baker

    Although not as bad as Vassells it was a stupid unnecessary lunge that many refs would have given as a red. Not surprised both were red but Wellens play acted and increased the likelyhood of a red for Baker - hate to see that. Baker let us down and i find it hard to defend his actions, the guy...

    not too downhearted

    Have to agree I am not too downhearted by the performance and on the day I reckon a draw would have been a fairer result. I think we missed two things on the day. Firstly a dominant centre half, - Turner of last season would have added steel and confidence to the whole team. I dont think that a...

    Gael Bigirimana and Cyrus Christie

    Have to say I was impressed with the potential of these two young men. Gael was a little lightweight in the tackle and to begin with Cyrus a little nervous going forward but hell I feel I am being a little churlish mentioning the negatives because both had very decent debuts and were by no means...
