Indeed there were other options, yet we were never told about them because CCC insisted the club only deal with SISU.

So? What are you suggesting? Everyone who joins has to make a first post, and that was his. I'm not sure where this thinly disguised support of all of SISU's actions was, or indeed if there was any support at all. Perhaps I misread the bit that said 'SISU should go' and 'I'm not renewing my...

Someone is bound to ask what the other 3 are, so it might as well be me..

I should hope so, Martin Reeves earns £175,000 a year. For that sort of money you'd hope the people of Coventry would get someone with their head screwed on.

Whether they want to or not, most will be going in the summer. No way SISU will continue to subsidise the club with everything that is going on (not least when you consider the extent to which income will fall), so they will look to slash the wage bill. All the more reason you'd have thought...

A little cynical. Perhaps he genuinely cares? I think it is fair that someone who represents people who care about this issue deeply would seek to get some answers, and believe it or not, being a member of parliament does still count for something so perhaps the FL will be a little more open...

Would make a decent football venue, if it weren't in fecking Northampton:

Where did I say I would trust them? I was merely explaining what I understand to be the FL's position on relocating.

None of this is relevant because the council intend to borrow the £14 million they used to pay off the mortgage, the repayments for which will be met by ACL (plus the council will make a small profit because of preferential interest rates).

Exactly, which is why I don't think it will happen.

That 'rule' applies to any permanent relocation - in which case Birmingham, as a separate urban conurbation, would not be allowed. A temporary relocation outside of the immediate locality, as I understand it, would be allowed on the basis that it could be demonstrated that the club had definite...

Fine, I misread that. Apologies It still doesn't change the fact that the Wimbledon comparison doesn't stand up. They made a permanent move away from their historic fanbase. Nobody is suggesting that would happen here, not least because it would not be allowed to happen. Until such time that...

If we stayed at the Ricoh gates would not be 4000. They also wouldn't pay 400K to play there. For what its worth, Walsall average 4K, pay 400K a year rent and still make a profit (albeit with some help from their market). The fact remains, if SISU wanted to retain control they could still do...

But this would not happen because the league would not allow it to happen. Did Bristol Rovers cease to be Bristol Rovers when they played in Bath? No, because it was temporary. So CCFC would return to the city because they would have to. If they didn't, or went bust then any new club would...

You have to be pretty thick to think a boycott will have much impact. There are plenty of clubs in this league who survive on gates of 3K-4K, some even make a profit. A boycott and they would simply slash the wage bill by off-loading players and bringing in kids and non-league players happy to...

Where has anyone said otherwise? You're seeing things that aren't there. To defend yourself against those who label you a 'moron' for buying a ST is not the same as elevating yourself to hero status is it?

I understand the point about interest rate differentials and the reasons why the council did what they did (I have been very critical of the council in many respects, but I fully understand their reasoning for settling the Yorkshire Bank mortgage and accept it was a move that benefited...

If it was temporary yes, if there was the slightest hint it might be permanent, then no.

Not seeking to get into an argument on your general point, but mortgage rates in 2005 were about 6% were they not? Just not sure about the relevance of the '15-18%' comment. BTW, this isn't an excuse to call me a shoolboy, a SISU employee, a communist or just plain stupid ;)

This is a wind up I'm sure, but it case it isn't, how can moving to a ground that holds less than 3000 with no corporate facilities possibly make sense? We would have the smallest ground in the top 5 divisions in England.
