    Higgs vs CCFC Court Row

    I think it's not unreasonable to say that whoever wins will have been found to be right in the court of law, based on a point of law, as judged by a neutral arbiter. Whether that means they are 'morally' right is rather more ambiguous. I suspect that will be argued for some time after both...

    Higgs vs CCFC Court Row

    Good analysis as ever OSB. I'm struggling to see how SISU's counter claim works. Basically you've got to think Higgs have got something in writing to say that SISU owe them money for walking away from the HoT. SISU's claim is that Higgs did something to scupper the deal at least six months...

    Higgs vs CCFC Court Row

    Personally, I'm entirely supportive of the actions of the Charity. SISU have got plenty of form for breaking contracts and as far as I'm concerned it's good that someone is taking them on with regard to it. As for the counter-claim, that's entirely their right but (imho) it's hard to see it as...

    Ah, your generosity knows no beginning. Of course, being from Warwick, I presume you only keep pound coins to put on top of the £50 notes to stop them from blowing away when the butler opens the window. ;)

    The Supporters Consultative Group

    It obviously isn't the case though, is it Nick? Look at the interest in Kingharvest's posts and it's perfectly clear that a lot of people have been following what's said at the SCG from afar. Be honest Nick - you're not overly keen on the Trust, and on that basis you don't really care if they...

    Seems that you and Nick are both struggling with emails from the Trust. Last one I got was 15th March. It ended... This group meets on Thursday 20th March and representatives of the Sky Blue Trust will be in attendance. If you have any matters you wish them to bring up on your behalf at the...

    Supporters consultative group minutes?

    Personally speaking, I think the Trust has represented my opinion far, far better than the SCG. Ward & Strange stood by when trust members and fellow fans were accused by the club of acting for Weber Shandwick. Where's the apology for that? I'd flip the question around. Exactly how do the...

    Questions for Simon Gilbert

    I think it's called Bellamyitus. An unfortunate condition where the carrier seems unaware of his disease, but is compelled to act like an absolute knob. ;)

    Questions for Simon Gilbert

    Don't forget the Higgs Trust. It seems SISU can't trust them either (and vice versa). It does seem odd that they end up in court with a lot of the people they're supposed to have been partners with. It's not just unique to CCFC either, as we've seem from those other court cases. I'm sure...

    Coventry City's Joe Murphy wants new contract with Sky Blues

    I'd go with that too. Having said that I have serious doubts that the club either would or possibly could offer more to Christie or Moussa, given the constraints SISU have chosen to tie themselves into at Northampton. I can't see that Murphy would be asking for much more though, given his age...

    Questions for Simon Gilbert

    Exactly. In fairness Simon's doing a great job, and can only report the answers he's given, but this lack of trust thing is utterly bogus. That's precisely what contracts are for. If ACL said we don't trust SISU and therefore we won't have the club back, they'd be slaughtered and rightly so...

    But I was just searching for recipes, love. Honest. (Has to be worth a try).

    I got caught looking at pictures of tarts on the internet recently, the missus still hasn't forgiven me. ;) (Just thought I'd get there first!)

    Byng still interested in the club

    Mate, I've known you long enough through this forum. No need to worry about me lending it you, I'll just give you the fiver. Get yourself a pint with the change. ;)

    Byng still interested in the club

    C'mon fellas - 'genuine'? He's been chucked out of his own professional association for dishonorable conduct, that doesn't qualify as 'genuine' to me. At one point his 'backers' couldn't work out how to send an email, which was laughable. Then it changed to them not understanding the...

    Byng still interested in the club

    You'd think if Chinese investors were so worried about the legalities of the Ricoh issue they'd steer well clear of a man who has been chucked out of his professional institution. Personal opinion: Byng hasn't got any significant backers, and this is some kind of a pipe dream or even worse a...

    City fans not as friendly at Brentford as at Sixfields?

    Violence is never right, though it now seems this has been downgrading to jostling and throwing beer rather than anything more serious. Either way, unacceptable imho. Having said that, I wonder what is in Fisher's (and Labovitch's) mind. Do they really think it's simply a few malcontents in...

    Steven Pressley says it's vital Coventry City keep hold of star striker Callum Wilson

    No, but given he was injured from March until the end of that season I wonder how much interest there might have been for him. Wilson's a rather different prospect, I'd say, particularly given his age. When we were a championship club looking to buy young players to improve and then move on at...

    So you think Wilson will still be here next season then?
