Goal for Delph after ref played good advantage when Fleck was pulled back. Good finish by Delph :)

We got a corner!!

Strangely "half baked" is a phrase that often pops into my mind when I see one of your posts.

I've been watching City since the late 60's. I've had season tickets for most of that period despite never living less than 50 miles from Coventry (and often much more). Your suggestion that I didn't go to Sixfields because I "can't be arsed" is as ignorant as it is insulting

Even if the club's gone, surely we'll all still need somewhere to meet and insult each other :D

I have every faith, that if it is untrue you'll have it on the forum within minutes of its release ;)

With a private house purchase, pretty much invariably, any existing mortgage will be paid off by the vendor as part of the process, so that the house is sold "unencumbered" (to use a favourite word in these parts). As you rightly say, the vendor is then left with the net proceeds after paying...

I refer you to "the first method" of valuation. The lease will produce (hopefully) positive cash flows, which have to be discounted back to a current value to arrive at a valuation. Whilst the business will be more valuable the longer the lease is - with a lease at 40 years plus - the impact...

The problem around the valuation of a business is that it's an art as much as a science - if you got 10 accountants to value a business you'd probably get at least 20 valuations and most of those would be ranges rather than figures! Broadly speaking there are two fundamental ways of valuation...

I think you might have missed the "net" bit.

One of my favourite quotes: "The honourable gentleman uses statistics as a drunken man uses a lamp post, for support not illumination". B. Disraeli

I'll be there :D

As a general principle that's true (subject to the present value of future income streams etc etc), but from where we are currently, getting back to the "Ricoh status quo" looks a pretty tall order let alone recouping how many years worth of £2m's (not to mention lost sponsorship and merchandise...

It's pretty clear that they did want to sell, but were concerned that SISU might pull out and leave them with "dead" costs.

I think you misunderstand. It'll be me checking on you (insert evil laugh) :)

Totally agree. The season feels a bit of a let down because of the great start, but staying up will be a pretty impressive achievement in the circumstances.

Fair enough, I will make a note that you will only ever comment on anything relating to performances over a full season.

I agree with much of that. Our start was little short of wonderful. I was however one of the "pessimists" who at the time posted that this had a bit of the feel of Bobby Gould's first season as manager - for those who can remember that far back! With a small and young squad, it always...

If you think that looking at our form over the most recent (almost) four month period is "odd", then fair enough. I'd have thought that it was a fairly relevant indicator as to how things are currently going.

That is true to an extent, but the worrying (if not totally surprising) thing is the way our form has collapsed. If you look at a league table that runs from 1st January, we're one place and one point outside the relegation zone - and that's with no points deduction.
