Bah, bloody closet liberals - far too left wing for me. Why, I bet he's not even related to the Queen. ;)

Meh, fwiw Irish father, English mother. Would always support England over Ireland in sport, since that's my country of birth, but have no problem with those who celebrate their heritage more than me, even if it's technically more distant. It's handy having two teams to support, especially in...

Absolutely spot on. Twenty years ago pretty much my entire social life revolved around CCFC. Five years ago I gave up my season ticket. Last season (for the first time I can remember since the late 80s) I didn't go to a single game. If we're in Northampton next season I'm thinking of getting...

Ah. Can I just add this then. Arrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Apologies if this is already out there somewhere, but I just wondered if anyone had seen anything official about how long the JR is scheduled for in court? I might try to pop along. I'm not really fussed about the detail, but I'd like to see what Joy really looks like in person. ;)

And here it is, all official like... http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/27701666

Ah, once again we've lost out to a 'bigger' club who used to be a smaller club. Are Sphinx letting anyone go in close season? Just a thought. ;)

Indeed - in fact I'm coming to the conclusion that it's all history now, to a greater or lesser degree, and all of the parties have to start looking forwards rather than backwards if we're to get out of this mess. Personally, I think that that means SISU start talking about a rental agreement...

Mornings NW. Agree entirely that the SBT should stay as reasonable as possible in it's dialogues with our owners (whomever they may be), regardless of provocation. As for Haskell's motives in offering fan involvement, I don't think there's any evidence one way or another that he would have done...

I don't doubt fans' loyalty to the club - but how about to players? I'm thinking here of things like the 'bomb squad' and how many supported that idea. We're quick to demand that players are loyal to the club, right up until the point that we don't want them any more. Managers too, for that...

Furlong and Morrell, indeed. Didn't take long! I thought they were both half-decent players - in fact if I remember correctly, they were both strikers whom we attempted to convert into wide midfield players. Very odd, particularly for Morrell, who I thought was a pretty good finisher, but...

Did he refuse to play - or was he actually injured? I'm not claiming to know either way, but the only thing I can recall is this. http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/coventry-city-boss-steven-pressley-6641076 There's no doubt the manager thought he could play, but he...

Or should SISU pay a penalty for approaching YB unilaterally (potentially damaging ACL), failing to provide Higgs with sufficient security to complete that deal, and going on a rent strike without the agreement of the other parties. All of that happened way before the council bought out the...

I'm all for giving the lad a chance - but I think it's fair enough to point out that it is a long shot, given the level he's coming from, which is a fair way down the non-league pyramid. However I can think of another one from non-league who had a pretty decent professional career. Was in his...

It's nothing to do with football governance, what are you on about? It's to do with insolvency - there's no fucking law that says that ACL have to accept the CVA, the clue is in the middle word - Voluntary. If you want ACL to get on with it, then why are you whining about them turning down the...

Regardless of him signing for Wolves, I'd still have him back. His only crime was to move to a bigger club for more money. If he wants to come back and pitch in for us again, I can't see the issue. He's not a fan, he's a professional footballer. If it suited the club, because say of a lack...

Surely we've done all this to death. In ACL's words, they rejected the CVA because... “ACL’s motivation for rejecting the CVA was about much more than pure financial interest. Along with various other parties, ranging from Sky Blues fans and Supporters Direct through to local MPs and...

Which, in itself, is ridiculous. I'm not blaming SISU for this farce - we know they'll do anything to avoid paying ACL the money. I'm blaming the FL - they're a bunch of clowns. If they wanted to insist on this as a condition for the golden share, why didn't they do it before the last season...

In truth a large part of SISU's argument isn't just about the state-aid, it's about it being used in a way to damage them. Of course, the Judge is only obliged to address the points he sees relevant in law, but it's surprising how wide that can go (if you use the Higgs case as an example)...

Truthfully, as irritating as it is that SISU are still pissing around with all this, who can blame them? Apparently the FL aren't going to make a decision on this until 6th June, after their conference finishes? What a bunch of tossers - how long would it take for a board meeting to talk this...
