On the subject of Richard Wood, anyone know why he was never fully in favour when with us? We paid strong money from a rival Champ club, and then played legends like Nathan Cameron and James McPake ahead of him - we got relegated (shock) then he had a stint with us in L1 before we gave him away...

You wouldn’t be starting O’Hare in this game, bring him back slowly, don’t wa t another calf pull or worse. 2nd half sub again, tell Palmer to run and run at them until his blisters burst Wood needs oxygen and then bring on Cal.

“Wasps accuse Gallagher Premiership teams of profiting from club’s demise by offering stars ‘derisory’ contracts” Welcome to the real world. The offer we had to accept for Hyam was derisory - I’m guessing some of that money had to go on sorting the pitch and covering wages when we didn’t get...

Wilson 8 Didn’t have much to do, distribution not the best but seems to be on his toes when needed and gets out well. Clean sheet gets him an 8 Panzo 7 Tracked back and covered well. Didn’t get forward but that might have been an instructional tactic. Kept his opponent out. Fadz 8 Headed...

I’m sure if SISU were to say: “if we secure the stadium would local builders / industrial painters / sign makers / cleaning companies help out; we will stick a plaque up / stick a write up about your business in our program etc.” Then we could have it looking a lot better for less than £20m.

Didn’t they burn him to heat their stadium #kingpower I’ll get my coat.

I’ve got a feeling that the manager is worried about his player being retrospectively banned. Not sure how it works but think Godden v Fulham and the “dive” and the subsequent ban. If I were MR I’d be putting an email together to the FA or FL or whoever. It’s also a better way to get Stroud a...

Two left feet, problem being that he’s naturally right footed.

Wilson 8 Not too many saves to make but good distribution and timing. They hit the post late on but he even seemed to have that covered. Maybe. Rose 7 Didn’t do too much wrong. Fadz 8 Some grandstand defending there. Marshalled well and a clean sheet. Panzo 7 Showed some skill but also a...

Yep. but you know what’s going to happen so: Kane and Hamer for Dabo and Sheaf else this brainless gimp will send one of them off on 60. Just marking this.

Surely if it needed £20m spending it’d show as a contingent liability or some such in ACL’s accounts. I guess it doesn’t. Unless they’ve only just discovered so since last filing. I’m calling BS.

Can’t see £20m in repairs. It’s a bluff tactic.

I fully expect SISU to be in the bidding either directly or through a patsy or other investment arm. If the cost is Zero they’ll be in. If the cost is £100m they won’t, it’s where in between they bid and who else bids.

The £20/£25m figure for repairs sounds a bit like tactics to me. The CBS needs a good scrub and a lick of paint but £25m would imply some serious structural issues - which would imply some safety issues meaning it possibly unfit for use. Whoever is banding the figure about wants to influence...

SISU have access to funds if the deal is right. The 250 year lease has a value and if SISU almost compartmentalise ACL / Newleaseco then things stack. It’s the whole rent v mortgage argument. You can get a mortgage on a flat in Kenilworth Court even though it’s technically a lease. SISU...

Doesn’t any business lease over 7 years give protected rights? CCFC should be hard to shift if the lease was registered properly

I really do dislike Labour politicians. Always hiding behind some kind of social value BS; they need watching.

Unless they use a patsy to buy it then some SISU shenanigans may commence. Would be sensible and, quite possible.

It depends on the cost of money and the likely revenue streams. Up until recently the cost of borrowing was cheap. For the sake of fag packet maths £35m might have cost 2.5 over base- call it 3% total, let’s say £1m per year. Gov bonds yielded less so finance houses like HSBC might have...

Still think there’s a better opportunity for CCFC & CRFC to team up in some way. Share some training facilities, (Uni?), club shop, CCFC to use the Butts for League Cup / Reserve games (few beers in Spon End / Chapelfields / Bottom of Earlsdon - match - curry after… I could do that) If CRFC...
