Burge’s Confidence is shot. In turn, the confidence that his defenders have in him is reduced. This is reflected in the decisions they make when they have the ball near their own goal. Rather than risk a pass back so that Burge can move it out wide, for example; the defenders often play a...

They have £30-£70m invested (depending on who you believe). Whilst ever they can take annual payments out of the club for “management fees” they can leave their “investment” parked. If the club is liquidated or sold cheaply, the balance will have to be written off. The Hedge Fund won’t allow...

There’s a strategic business angle in the planning of building a new ground:- The value Ricoh props up the balance sheet for the Wasps. The Ricoh is a sports ground with conference facilities. It has a fairly secure source of rent from CCFC. This adds value to the leasehold. Take away that...

HR attendance figures were (allegedly) often under declared - cash through turnstiles didn’t always make it to the accounts department. During the era of cash “bungs” it may be suggested that the source of the cash used for the bungs was under declared gate receipts. It was a standing joke at...

More: 1) Much better atmosphere - Ricoh feels too open, plastic and soulless in comparison 2) Easier to get to for the majority of fans. 3) far more “impulse” fans on the walk up. Few beers in town then head to HR is more likely than going to the Ricoh. 4) More fans likely to go to the...

IIRC there was a suggestion of filling in the corners either side of the West Terrace (moving the press-box & scoreboard). This may have got the capacity from 26500 to nearer 30000. Another possibility would have been to lower the pitch and extend the stands forwards like they did at Ibrox. HR...

About '89/'90. Vs Man Utd at HR Bryan Robson, already on a yellow, hacked through Speedie in a challenge that should have been a straight red and a call up to the FA for violent conduct. Ref saw it as clear as day, everyone expected Robson to be off (including Robson) but the Ref just...

Ellery Cairo anyone?

Zuniga, yes. Moldovan, we probably needed the cash more at that point.

I think Onandi Lowe was badly managed. Chef Evans played his best football when on bail / with charges hanging over him as did, I think, Lee Hughes. Lowe was found not guilty in the end, yet we fired him way before trial. Lowe, on bail, worried about it being his last opportunity to...

Players we should have kept (and could have - IE we let them go free when they wanted to stay) No.1 Dimi Konstantopoulos. Had a few nightmares (unsurprisingly given the defence we had) but had a solid background.

In our current division, all seater isn't mandatory anyway. Just saying.

That's far too clever for this forum.

As I said it was a poor joke, SISU clowns / Circus etc.

No just a shit joke by me. This may seem mad, but Websters Sidings and Park in Foleshill / Radford is currently occupied by Scrap Firm EMR. EMR have taken over the land just off the M6 at Exhall and that site is empty. IF EMR move out if Foleshill, there is potential for a large site...

The only other space is Hearsall Common where the Circus goes. It would suit the Clowns at SISU

Steady on I'm not Nostradamus. Is the land where Mayflower was earmarked for development yet? Back of Dunlop or around there?
