By "refused to negotiate a deal that is commercially viable for the football club", does he mean, "refused to hand over a multiple million pound facility and all its revenue streams for nothing" ? Is this negotiate like hostage takers? We get what we want or we kill the hostage, a certain...

I have nearly every home programme for 40 years and about 70 from the 50s and 60s. No idea what to do with them so am open to offers

Maybe, but the latter is under much greater public scrutiny than the former, and cannot move away.

CCC will have to step in if the worst happens. They have a duty of care. Our owners?

You should have said "electoral mandate" since the word mandate can mean "authority to act concerning" In either case, of course a council has a mandate to act to protect a facility it part owns. It has a clear public duty to ensure a public asset is protected and to ensure the development of...

You were suggesting that the Ricoh arena had nothing to do with CCC, which is clearly absurd.

Chortle, Chortle. No, I teach English, Humanities and Social Sciences... To A level, as it happens, so I am used to barrack room lawyers. Comment is free, as far as I'm aware.

So I was right then

Chortle. As I am a teacher and you are a pupil I think so. !)

Have I fallen through a hole in the space time continuum and woken in another dimension? Didn't CCC 1) rescue the Ricoh project when CCFC had sold Highfield rd? Doesn't CCC 2) part own the Ricoh arena? How can some people behave as if none of this has happened? SBTaylor, you seem to blank...

I understand the sentiment on this thread but, really, "a plague on both your houses" is a cop out. Fans have to see the bigger picture that only one side owe us fans anything. It is the actions of our owners that are to blame. They have had 5 years to sort it and have failed. Time to force...

To answer your question directly, Grendel. I would expect ACL to offer a better deal on the rent and revenue to a new owner. I would fully support this as SISU have shown themselves to be unfit owners on so many occasions. A new start is what we need. This would be perfectly acceptable business...

I recognise majority of blame on one side, a few defensive mistakes on the other side, you don't. You also don't like analogies. Fair enough but sometimes they help you see a pattern of behaviours.

If that's what you think you have not really read it. There is subtlety there you seem to have missed. Just because one draws a conclusion does not mean the evidence has been seen as black and White. Please see the difference between " I'm right, you're wrong" and "Well, both have contributed to...

No, Torch, I think you have misread that. Very few people take that view. Some have been at pains to say that ACL have contributed to the problem. None of us know the full facts but I think if anyone looked at all the facts that we do know we can see a pattern of mendacious behaviours from our...

Speaking personally I travel 30 odd miles to Coventry 25 times per season, yes to watch the Sky Blues, but also to visit family, my home town and, in a strange way that I can't explain to pay homage to my parents and grandparents who made a good life for their kids after living through the blitz...

There is no reason to support a club like CCFC for many years other than loyalty based on it association with the city. The 2 CANNOT be separated without the club losing it raison d'etre. Not the ground, Not the colours, Not the players, Not the manager, Not the style of football. A club...

It really is tedious that the grown ups have to wade through sh@g it or kill it or insult it willy waving every time a woman is mentioned.

Total respect for that position. If we all took this stand I would hope the FL would step in and remove the Golden share and somehow grant it to a new entity ... Trust, ACL and a consortium of local businesses?

I think you would be wise to stop and think. This is massively bigger as an issue than disliking current owners. The act of taking a club away from it's home town/city is a step too far for, guessing here, the vast majority of fans. We are not a franchise. We are fans of a club representing...
