Money helps when assembling a team, but large amounts can be squandered, and small amounts can be spent well. Cash plays no part on the pitch. Famous players can be rubbish, unknowns can sometimes outplay them. And since CCFC has been reduced to operating on a shoestring, what choice do we...

According to that, he's already "singed" with us. Perhaps he cost us a tenor?

"Why couldn't you beat a richer club? I've never seen a bag of money score a goal." A nice quote from the legend, and one we may need to repeat as a mantra for years to come.

Not an interview as such, but an item on the CCFC website - use the link posted by Torchomatic (No. 4 on this thread).

Yes, and Mark Venus refers to "the project we're building here". I know talk is cheap and we've heard it all before, but it's still good that they are talking in those terms.

He did admit that there is a lot of work that needs to be done on the question of a ground before the club would be in control of its destiny. He stated that the club needed to work closely with the council to achieve a successful outcome. Not sure what the reference to the Council is about...

It makes a nice change to be thinking about something positive for once. If would be good if the Maddison money allows us to do a few deals like this - nobody is demanding big-name signings, just something to suggest there might be a plan.

I’m sure Cranfield wouldn’t consume to excess like that. He obviously missed out a decimal point, and actually had three very modest 500ml glasses, which equates to 2.6 pints.

Indeed he did point the finger at the Council, and was full of praise for Joy & Tim even as he walked out on them in the middle of the battle. I somehow doubt they would be keen to sign him up again. I know what you mean about the slump - it would obviously have come! But personally I think...

Indeed. Is it going too far to imagine him reporting to Ms Seppala’s office with an A-Level Statistics book tucked down the back of his trousers?

I loved it while Robins was the manager, but it’s hard to overlook the fact that he cleared his desk and walked out on us like spoilt child. And I doubt if Joy has forgotten that either.

Really disappointed that TM is sticking with such a small team and trying to play our way neatly out of this tough league. Fine while it was working, but we have been completely sussed, and to defeat the system teams really only need to work hard on closing us down. We have no physical...

Ms Seppala appears to be saying that we were run by the wrong people until 2012. But the things that have happened since then represent an improvement, and everybody at the club is working to a clear plan that the fans understand. Thank goodness for that. We need a rent reduction, well...

Yep. Supporting the Sky Blues has been the natural thing to do for the whole of my life, even when things weren’t going well on the pitch. But this lot have made it harder and f***ing harder to stay on board. How do you follow something that’s slowly going round and round in circles?

Chris Anderson, managing director of CCFC, added that he was confident a mutually beneficial long-term deal could be agreed with Ricoh Arena landlords Wasps. It's just a much stronger indication then we've had before. No doubt there's an element of putting pressure on Wasps by going public in...

This is an extremely welcome U-turn as far as I am concerned, and might even be a first step on the path back to sanity. But what an embarrassing picture it paints of SISU’s competence in these last few years. I have always felt that a mutually beneficial relationship could be developed with...

If you enter “sisu” into Google Translate as a Finnish word, you get the following alternatives:- go spunk grit guts perseverance pluck balls bottle Take your pick, but I suspect that the first one is the least likely, and there will be very little of the second one (at least when it...

He’s a politician, not a Civil Servant! In the radio transcript, he expresses a very negative opinion of SISU. He then immediately goes on to give specific and clear reasons - saying that only one side is making any concessions in the talks, that SISU are moving the goalposts etc. He makes...

Maybe if they had said something like "Coun Mutton is not guilty of failing in his duties under the code when declaring his interests" we might all have had a more productive day today? If the Ethics Committee has issued a perverse decision, no doubt we can look forward to yet another round of...

Perhaps I can be of assistance here. Goacher’s report quotes at tedious length the relevant parts of the code of conduct: 5.1 I will: a. register and, where appropriate, disclose those disclosable pecuniary interests that I am obliged to declare under the Localism Act and associated...
