When the regular "Sack Pressley" / "Next Manager" / "Nobody would come here because of SISU" threads come up, Richard Money is occasionally mentioned. Watching his team tonight against Man Utd, with Chris Dunn involved, prompted a quick look at his managerial Stats...

Dougie McGuire, I remember watching him in the reserves on a regular basis. John Sillett's reserve team back then would have mopped the floor with our entire 1st team now. Dean Keily, Keith Thompson (so unlucky that we had Phillips, Gallacher and Smith (he was soooo good in his...

I can't help but think the the whole "State Aid" question may resurface in line with the Wasps and ACL deal. The recent Council "we may allow planning in Holbrooks" statement was far more telling than it seems on the surface. This ain't over yet folks!

Liblabcon all the same. Labour take high ground yet seem to be at the centre of any treachery. Tory not much better. Labour Council should now help the club, for their own, and the People of Cov's good. I can see this being appealed to EU Court (higher than Appeal court, higher than UK...

Don't know if this is true or not, but I was told that CCFC now INFLATES it's actual attendance figure to maximise advertising income (some deals being dependant on number of viewers, akin to pay-per-click if you like). Official Attendance now includes all season tickets (whether used or...

And 31000 probably meant 41000 in the days of cash through turnstiles "possibly miscounted", turnstile operatives squeezing two at a time through for an extra quid etc.

Labour Council. Can't be trusted, waste your money, "make mistakes" with the truth. Keep voting Labour, let your kids pay the bill in the future.

He needs to go. He doesn't have the experience and CCFC shouldn't be a training college. Tactical experiments should be done with the reserves, player spats left private, transfers with an eye on the future and squad morale. He needs to go. Sorry, best of luck SP, hope you get a...

I never could understand why, during the rent row, CCFC didn't use Butlin Road in Rugby. Decent ground, sky blue seats, in an area with mainly Cov fans and easier to get to for the majority. The reserves played there a few years back on a regular basis. They chose Northampton instead and...

Wasps/Rugby must be making a fortune on bar and food as it serves all match. All helped by drinking in your seats of course. Never thought of that. Good call, deffo Makes a big difference.

In the US they do. I'm still stunned that JS has left the running of the club to RR then KD, Onye and now TF/ SW. I really expected some Yank to come in at the behest of JS and take the Bull by the Horns so to speak. I'm not necessarily advocating such, just surprised it's not happened.

Nothing wrong with those stats

I agree, the whole thing seems to make sense. Just need a bit of a can-do attitude about all of this. I still think a change of Council is needed.

Tricky beast, planning permission. Can be got around with certain types of developments (care homes, Accademy (not sporting) etc.). Get the right angle presented to the right Council.... I keep expecting SISU to be smarter than they have shown.

Just looked, it's part of the Rugby and Kenilworth Constituency in Warwickshire. Tory held marginal. May be pro-development, may be pro sticking-it-to-labourCoventryCouncil. May get permission stranger things have happened. Land in Ryton is worth more per acre than land in Hollbrooks I...

Anyway, hate to say this, but I cannot see SISU going anywhere until they plug the hole in their balance sheet. I just don't think that they can. If they can own a ground with some additional entertainment options, get their (AEG?) people in, attract some outside investors to the table on...

Is Ryton CCC or Warwickshire ? Can't remember.

Titterton?

Warren Bufton in that squad? - it's bugging me now, I was about 11 and used to just be able to remember these things.

And wasn't there a striker that used to bang in 25 goals a season in the reserves, made the bench aged about 17 for the first team but never made it into the big time. Matt Jenkins??? God I'm getting old.
