Blimey Nick, PWKH agrees with it enough to sign, Fisher agrees with it enough to sign, Ainsworth agrees with it enough to sign. It would seem that all of the main protagonists want it signed - so there's no logic to the argument that people shouldn't sign because the petition is insufficiently...

Right, so you accept that the Council haven't made money out of the rent or the matchday revenues. Now it's just about the land deal. I've asked the relevant questions to that above, I think. But again, what profit did the council make out of the land deal? According to the books, not only...

According solely to Fletcher, who seems to claim that there was some king of agreement to give the club a share of the profit from the sale to Tesco, even though it was the council who bought the land. How would that agreement work exactly? How would that fit into the Council's legal duty to...

The money in rent goes to ACL, not the Council. ACL have never declared a dividend, so no money to the council as shareholders of ACL either. The club sold its matchday revenues (and its 50% share in ACL). So again, how much money have the Council sponged off the club?

I'm sorry, because I think we're going miles OT here, but once again there's this accusation that the council have sponged off the club (cash cow is usually the favoured phrase here, btw). How? What money, precisely, has Coventry City Council made out of the club since the Ricoh was built?

It's a fair point this, imho, about not buying players immediately. I guess we'll see the truth of the investment strategy in the close season. 10,000 is a great start on the petition, but maybe people are a bit war-weary now and don't want to hear the arguments any more. I don't know, but I...

"if the directors have wrongfully traded or committed a tax fraud or some other offence" Always a possibility that... there are certainly some questions I'd like to see answered, although they mostly relate to CCFC Ltd, in fairness.

I like the idea of safe standing - it might be the single, only upside to having a new stadium. (If it was going to happen, which it isn't). It's going to need FL & FA and Government buy in though. That's going to be like wading through treacle. Cold treacle. In flippers.

I'm obviously not the only person to misread the article, because there's nothing about having a top scorer back that I can see. We've got a paper-thin squad. When fixtures get that congested there's no time to rest, and no scope for rotating players. Anyone who does get injured will also...

Nope - that's quite right, I misread it. Apologies. SP got his way, and Saddlers lost out. Although I suspect we'd still rather play fixtures on their scheduled date than run the lottery of the FL re-arrangers. As for the point though, the fixture backlog. That's going to hit us. You're...

And so it begins. The 'home' game against Walsall is now on Weds 5th March. http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/sky-blues-fixture-wrangle-walsall-6684034 Doesn't look like SP will be very happy about this or that it helps the play-off push. Given there are already...

The problem is Gentleman, is that "incompetent cowards" is precisely what they are.

Ah, a bit like Father Ted the Nazi, perhaps... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9x70bndpc70 I'm not defending this guy, btw, he deserves what the court hands down imho. No more, no less. I don't know him, so I can't comment on his political beliefs - but I'm from Tile Hill and used to have a...

Boy, you're a ray of sunshine. I always pegged Schrodinger as a quantum physicist, which is quite close to philosophy in some places. And this particular conundrum definitely draws more towards metaphysics/epistemology than the physical science of testable hypotheses, and it's certainly of...

Noggin's plenty objective. But you're having problems because your paradigm's misaligned, mate. If you nip down to Kwik-Fit they can pop it on the ramps and sort it out for you in twenty minutes, and they'll give you a discount on your next MOT. ;) Talking of cars, Dr. Schrodinger's on his...

Wherever the loan deal was I'm sure Barton would've got paid his full salary, and would probably have been guaranteed first-team football. I think it's to his credit that he's decided to stay, work hard, and fight for a place in the side - plenty of players wouldn't. He's come back from an...

Very good point. And you'd think that if he had found something it would be the Ltd liquidation that would have been paused. Still, you never know. Maybe there's something left in this yet.

Indefinite is harsh because it's entirely at the whim of the club. It might only be for a season, or it might be for a lifetime. Typically, in law, indefinite sentences are used for the worst offences. It's considered fairer to at least let someone know when they will have served their time...

Erm... following that logic, sometimes people who break a window enter houses and end up murdering the occupants, it's rare, but it happens. Therefore the correct treatment of window-breakers is obviously a life sentence - they might just break a window, or they might murder the occupants...

Oh bless, you've illustrated your reply with a delightfully sardonic piece of imagery. I guess you win. Except that you haven't. If all clubs were obliged by law to apply indefinite bans to any and every pitch invader you'd have a point, but you know what, they're not. If you, personally...
