There are three protagonists in this story right now, and two of them want my club dead, so I make no apology for being on SISUs side here. I never though I'd see the day that a despised hedge fund cared more about our club than it's own city (i.e Council) , but that day is here. So rather than...

My post was meant to be slightly humourous, but it seems that wasn't clear. Out of interest, whose side would you prefer I was on?

I'm starting to feel like our owners really aren't the shitbags we all thought they were. In fact, right now I'd go as far as to say I'm in their corner. #TeamSISU. Fuck me, that felt weird.

I think the EFL would want to see a binding contract somewhere tbh. Otherwise our home for next season still won't be 100% confirmed. I think the club said they expect it to go to the expulsion vote regardless (I could be wrong on that).

To be fair, the 4 points aren't exactly groundbreaking. They're roughly what this forum has been asking for for several weeks, yet the trust have waited until now to point them out. I also take issue with their 'frustration' at the open letters. I'm actually glad of it. Get it out in the open...

If memory serves, he's a Tranmere supporter. I still miss Rob Gurney tbh.

That's why I said 'supposed requirement'. I think it's a part of their charter iirc. We all know they're anything but, but imho Clive has always tried to sit on the fence. If you asked him if he wanted a jacket potato for dinner he'd try to extol the virtues of mash, chips and wedges...

Clive has his hands tied, to be fair. The BBC can't be seen to take sides on something like this because of their supposed requirement for impartiality. I think he knows the score, but also knows that he'll end up caught in the middle of this whole shitstorm and piss off one or more of the SISU...

What if Duggins is the mole? What if this is like when an MP leaves a briefcase on a train 'accidentally' so information gets out?

It feels like CCC are losing control of the narrative, and don't quite know how to get it back.

If true, this should be a national scandal.

I need to hear a second or third person claim to have been in the room when it was said before I begin to believe this. I've been using the internet for too many years to trust anything off the say-so of one person.

The fifty miles gives us options. If you limit it to twenty there are probably a handful of options, most at grounds not fit for L1 football, and most of which we've probably already looked at. Putting such a low limit on is akin to voting option C anyway.

I agree with you. It's just that I've worked in environments where things have been twisted to fit political ends, and that is how I see option B. That said, I'm probably overthinking it.

I voted A, on the basis that SISU won't be here forever but I want my club to be. Voting B just feels to me like a temporary stay of execution - time passes quickly, and it could be used to kill the club in 3 years time with an argument that the fans wanted it that way. C is just a waste of an...

Two year contracts are great because it means if things go wrong you're not saddled with them ala David Bell, and if they have a solid first season they may sell for a decent amount. The problem with them is that the Jordy Hiwula's of this world who do well but don't set the world alight are in...

I'm putting my tin hat on before I make this point. SISU were, and perhaps still will be, legally allowed to challenge the sale of the Ricoh. Forget the 'big, bad SISU' narrative for a moment; to make dropping litigation a prerequisite of a new deal is tantamount to blackmail. It may not be...

I think the difference is that this time the club has tried to distance itself from the owners, and has openly said they want to stay at the Ricoh. If we don't, then it looks as if we're being thrown out of the city. This wasn't the case last time. But that argument becomes obviously complicated...

Boddy said this a few days ago. Not sure why CovLive have posted it today - must be desperately short of stories (as always).

Yesterday, second half in particular, was notable for the pace, power and skillful ball control of attacks from Bright, Bakayoko and Hiwula. I haven't seen us attack quite like that for years. It was great fun, and long may it continue. In fact, with two of those three being our players...
