What? The council haven't denied any of it, so why would he need to? If they did, then I might reasonably ask the same question, but they haven't and I suspect never will because it probably happened. You don't need to silence people who aren't making any noise.

Do you think we should tell him?

I won't wait five years. If it goes over one year I would struggle. SISU will not give in though, they would rather close it all down than lose face. We need to get the club back in Coventry quickly if this club is to survive. NOPM is the long game. We need to show our anger now, and...

There was a point today when somebody started singing SISU OUT - a weird hush followed, people were looking at each other not knowing whether to join in. What should have happened, is that the whole ground sang it. My personal view is that we should be there in numbers - getting in their...

Yep, stay at home do nothing fans.

Riot no. Loud, angry protest? Yes. Trouble is, some people are so weak-minded they think staying at home is enough. Their football club has been taken from them, and they stay at home. Sorry, it isn't enough. Not even close.

Professor Plum in the study with a candlestick.

Yes.

But then they would regard you as weak minded. Sitting at home is not action, it is apathy dressed up as protest. If it were Leeds, I doubt they'd all stay at home doing the garden, they'd be there in numbers making a scene.

Is that not the spoof thing, or is it something else?

Fair enough. It wasn't a binding contract though, that much is clear. Just a headline agreement.

Preston fans were very quiet today. Man for man the quality of the support was very good today, but obviously the number of people there effects the volume level, and you also get those spells of silence where all you can hear are the players and it takes on the feel of a friendly. Was...

And your heroes have one sitting empty. Madness, isn't it?

Why are you responding to a post you haven't read? I clearly said that I have no idea if it is true, but the fact is there has never been a whiff of a denial from ACL or CCC. Why not? They're not exactly averse to releasing angry, finger-pointing statements. My guess, is that there is not a...

no, not really.

I get all that. It's just all this 'self-respect' stuff that grates. People arguing that staying at home is the 'hard' option; for some perhaps, but for many staying at home and not going to games is what they have done for years. For them, it is the EASY option. Agree, we need a coherent...

Love how some think that sitting on their arse at home on matchdays constitutes 'saving the club'. It is apathy, pure and simple. Trying to dress it up as a 'moral' stance is self-indulgent guff. I have much more respect for people like simple_simon who actually try to do something (even if he...

SISU went after the council owned shares, it was opportunism. Taking up the Higgs option would have given them a 50% share in a company that would still have owed the bank £14 million. By paying a bit more and offering to pay off the mortgage they instead would have had 50% of a company that...

You're just guessing. You don't need to, there were only 2000 there, so why do you need to make things up? If you genuinely think there were only 300 more City fans in the main stand than there were Preston fans in the away end you're deluded. Also, City fans were singing throughout the game...

It was 50% of ACL - which 50% has not been made clear, but I suspect it was probably a buy out of the council owned stake which was valued at £14 million in effect. I'm not sure how they were trying to distress ACL - the bank were about for foreclose and they offered to settle the mortgage in...
