I'm not sure that there's a route to that court if they get bounced out at the oral application. I think that might be the end of the road for this particular action. However I'm not sure that this prevents them from taking further action regarding the sale to Wasps. Personally, I'd have no...

Talk about missing the point. Would you rather encourage a player and see him improve, or are you one of those sad bastards who sits there booing and whining all of the time. I'm going to guess the latter. I think some 'fans' only go to games to see the player they've got a downer on fail...

I sense this thread may be drifting off-topic...

It can't be as bad as that slow wet tar I got stuck behind the other day... Still, someone stuck a note on my car this morning. "Parking Fine!", it said. That's nice of them, I thought. It's the way I tell 'em. :)

Hmmm. Funny how it doesn't mention the rugby team that I support, Coventry RFC - established in the Coventry and Warwickshire community since 1874. It's surprising how so many people who now profess a love for the game have never actually been there. Personally I really like football, but...

I'd stick that in the potted plants in the boardroom. Or better yet, Triffids. Anyone know where I can get some Triffid seeds from. ;)

Politics aside, I'd love that job. There's something magical about a beautifully prepared pitch - it must be very satisying work. Plus I could secretly plant daffodils that popped up every spring spelling the words, "SISU OUT, LUCAS OUT, WASPS OUT." What's not to like. :)

Excellent point torchy. Whenever I think about dodgy players and how we should treat them, I'm reminded of Adebola. I didn't much like Adebola, he always seemed to look like he was playing in flippers to me. in essence a big bloke, who the ball bounced off, and who never seemed to want to...

SISU seem to have achieved their primary ambition, which was to make us 'cash-flow positive'. I like that concept as a fan, I want us to be sustainable, but the problem is that we're knackered now - without some kind of investment coming in from outside the football side, we seem doomed to stay...

Truthfully gent, I don't think that there's anything that we could do to SISU that would hurt them, other than a complete boycott. But there's no appetite for that, especially amongst the hard-core that remain who quite reasonably just want to watch football. In truth we've got, in effect, a...

I think these days I'm as much of a Cov RFC supporter as a CCFC one. Other than CCFC I'd rather play footy than pay to watch it, such is cheating, diving, spoilt-brat nature of the game at the top level. If CCFC ever fold, then other than the rugby I'd just go and watch someone local like...

Steak _and_ chips. Either she really loves you, or she's crashed the car. :)

I just thought you were battering me, Paxman style, and I'd have to either answer the question or resign. :)

If I was being (relatively) polite I'd say ditto. If I was being rude I'd say QED. It's time for dinner, so I'll go with the former rather than kicking off another pointless row. Chips for tea. Result. :)

Sorry Wingy, I missed this. I don't doubt you're right mate - I suspect SISU did think the return would distract from all of the other crap they've pulled. I don't think it's entirely worked though. ;)

Then there are those who think they are sharper than those who think they are sharper than everyone else but aren't sharper than that. But they just think they are sharper than those who think they are sharper than everyone else but aren't sharper than that - really they're not that sharp at all.

Talk about Machiavellian... you should work for the council mate. ;)

I see what you're saying here, and I absolutely share your respect for the OP. However imho the question wasn't as much about how bad we're doing, as it was about why isn't anyone looking at how bad we're doing. The implication perhaps being that the council revelations are being used as a...

With regard to the Ricoh, it's clear enough that SISU tried and failed once, and then weren't invited to try again. I can entirely understand why the council, or anyone, would struggle to deal with them but that doesn't mean selling to Wasps (a franchise!) whilst pretending to rebuild trust...

Lewys, I like a conspiracy theory as much as the next man, possibly more. But for all that I'm not sure about JFK, I'm pretty certain we went to the moon. :) Didn't the Reid article in question go to print before the appeal got to court? In fairness Reid's been breaking this over the last...
