    Article: Contracts - To Be or Not To Be?

    Think it is highly likely they make the offers and it is nothing underhand. Both the club and players need to know where they stand. If the offers are not good enough then the embargo is irrelevant. If the offers are tempting it shows intent by the club and the player knows he is wanted, the...

    City Director on threat of admin

    Changed his emphasis in what he is saying. Two weeks ago it was a bold "this club is not going into administration" now it is a you never can be certain. Things are about to get very tough financially....... no income but wages and bills to pay..... no prospect of any sales of players...

    The Peter Reid Effect

    Without the 10 point deduction they would have been safe. Dont think that you can blame administration on Peter Reid plus the guy has dipped into his own pocket to pay some of the running expenses - am i right in thinking none of the employees (including Reid) has been paid this year ? On...

    McSheffrey Wins Award

    wouldnt have been close to getting it from me. Would have said Turner, Clingan and King were as influential as him this season, Keogh has been ever present. For me i would have voted for Crainie

    Reading Player Rating's / Match thought's

    Good to see you here covcity4life :) Think the performance was pretty much on the up but had Reading scored late in first half I am not sure we would have got that back. However thats academic as they didnt and in the end a draw flattered the visitors. Gunnar certainly had one of his better...

    New Season Fresh Start - Who should we sign/let go?

    I dont think we will keep Westwood Gunnar or King..... we just cant compete in terms of wages..... would like to keep all three but if i had to choose one it would be King (maybe a surprising statement from me as I was dead set against him signing in first place) McIndoe needs to be playing...

    no noise from the tesco stand

    there are a few things that puzzle me about this arguement, leaving aside the arrogance of some to judge others as lesser beings What makes us think we are such a breed apart that this situation doesnt happen at lots of other clubs? What makes us think other groups of supporters at other...

    Positive News on Contracts - think they will be signed

    Gunnar was at our clubs presentation last Saturday...... did a Q&A session.... first question was "are you staying?" reply was along lines....... "been offered a contract, its 50:50 have current contact to 30/06 will wait see what happens in the summer" might have changed since AT got...

    no noise from the tesco stand

    Hate it when folk get all judgemental, "i am a better fan than you because I sing you dont". The important thing is that they are paying out damn good money to go watch and support their team in the manner they think best. They dont have to answer to anyone else. There is no test of supporting...

    Administration in 11 days !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I doubt much has changed from what was said at the press conference to introduce KD & co. The finances will not have significantly changed, the up turn in form will have had very little effect on the finances. Perhaps crowd revenue will have been a little higher but still well short of what...

    I went yesterday

    certainly not suggesting 10 behind the ball SBS, far from it. However if we keep shipping silly goals, ala Boro, Scunny etc then the attacking flair will disappear through lack of confidence, and we could return to dismal runs of results all the same. I am sure AT is aware of that and is...

    I went yesterday

    From what I heard we deserved more from the game - could easily have won it, but to give away another late goal shows our weakness. In this system I dont think it is King or McSheffery are the key- not under playing their roles ...... but the key to actually being successful over a season is...

    if the Ricoh generates £5m a year profit....

    Isnt quite that easy rob. ACL is still a seperate legal entity and though it seems they are paying themselves the rent and there is a saving, it isnt quite the case. Even owning 50% ACL is a seperate legal entity that has to operate for the benefit of all its shareholders not just some. 50% is...

    if the Ricoh generates £5m a year profit....

    Happy to debate anything about CCFC paxman :D. Very much doubt that KD SISU &co would take a blind bit of notice though!!!!

    Brilliant BBC Reporting

    Lets be honest the standard of reporting surrounding various aspects at CCFC has often been shoddy, inaccurate and baseless sensationalism. It is lazy journalism, and what I find so frustrating is that the correct information is usually easily obtainable. :facepalm:

    Manager update from Ken and controversy

    If it is based on economics then AT gets the job because he will be the cheapest option. Any alternative is likely to cost more money as they will undoubtedly want to bring in their own backroom staff which means paying off at some of the present ones. Also AT's scouting knowledge is going to be...

    if the Ricoh generates £5m a year profit....

    as far as i understand blend the option to buy shares of Alan Higgs trust in ACL runs out in 2013 as for how much I dont know. However the info I have is 2 years out of date so it may have changed
