    Not my fault it was because........

    if it was about watford then a limited apology to AB. However................. Principle is just the same and how long before similar comments come from him about CCFC? Still think my comments about his honesty and tactics apply. We are a different team but the same players and the key to...

    Not my fault it was because........

    As posted yesterday by others here Aidey Boothroyd (on Radio 5)blamed the dismal results on .... Because King injured...."Had to go with a striker who was inexperienced and couldn't hack it" Now it is only part of the conversation and out of context, but what a statement to come out with...

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

    They can listen but they dont have to deal. Thats the point, they dont have to sell...... they own lots of property domestic and commercial this is no different only more prestigious..... they can happily remain as landlord charging a commercial rent. The whole point of the development companies...

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

    I can see what you are saying. You just know there is a but dont you :)........ Latest accounts for ACL show the leasehold property as a 50 year lease dated 2003 purchased from Coventry North Regeneration Ltd (CNRL)(not sure if they own freehold or moved a lease on) That company is a wholly...

    Jordan Clarke has vowed to learn from past mistakes

    I think there is enough there to work on. What the lad needs is a run of games not play one miss two or get 15 minutes in a game. He isnt outstanding but he had a decent game last week and is still only young. Far too often our fans expect a young player to step into the side and be the finished...

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

    Just as an aside So who does everyone think are the main sponsors of CCFC other than City Link ? For some reason I always thought CCFC benefitted from the LLoyds pharmacy, CT, Tesco sponsorship. Isnt a logical thought really though is it as we dont own the ground. All that sponsorship goes...

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

    Sorry but who is to build all these shops and hotels ? - and just how long would it take to achieve? The area as we all know is not the best placed for access and in reality there isnt a great deal of land available for CCFC to purchase. My understanding is that much of the land surrounding is...

    Transfer Embargo

    Hate to put a spanner in that thought........ but....... the embargo came in late 2010 or early 2011. It is likely it happened because (a) HMRC was not paid.... Clubs have to inform the League when tax liabilities are over due or (b) football debts had not been paid.... ie other clubs not...

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

    Think both can use the arguement Rob, but I think what attracts SISU and certain parties on the board are the non football potential income streams. I think there is a reasonably tight window of opportunity for SISU to get the deal done. Yes they are tenants, but not sure the length of lease...

    The next few results and AT

    Its hard to tell what to make of it were we to lose the next 4 games. Is it a test of AT or a test of the players comitment and desire to play to the end of the season or a mix of both?. I think I would be more worried if that was the first 4 games results at the start of the season. Wonder...

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

    From the reports that are given the Ricoh venue is a success but doesnt generate the £5m profits suggested. I am not sure having new investors owning it will change the current profitability. To increase significantly may well require substantial investment in additional facilities and infra...

    Season as a whole?

    TPH .....Dont think we will finish above 14th and frankly there is little difference between the teams down from 14th to 19th. So yes we should finish above 19th but we easily might not. We dont usually do well against Middlesboro, the games against Reading & Norwich are not games you would bet...

    Season as a whole?

    I think I will remember this season for all the things off the pitch rather than on it. Much of what the team has done has been very forgettable, infact I prefer to forget. Yes I know things have looked up recently and I dont knock for one second the impact AT's change in style/attitude has...

    CCFC Questionnaire

    Anyone else receive a questionnaire from marketing department at CCFC? I completed it and left me wondering if the current sponsors are getting somewhat unimpressed with the coverage they receive. Questions all about such things as name five luxury car manufacturers and who is CCFC's official...

    Poll: Player of the year

    I dont think there is an outstanding choice this year..... I think without the injury that would have been Ben Turner. Marlon King has class and has played pretty well but started late and got sent off twice so hasnt played and been the influence he should have been Westwood, to be honest...
