Cheers Duffer - I know exactly where you are coming from, and completely respect your stance. I guess it's very patronising to say that someone is only doing something to make themselves feel better, and I realise I started it :) However, you're wrong about me not being comfortable with going...

Obviously I can't guarantee what they will do, but their ground is well suited to accommodating a very large away contingent. We took a lot there a few years back (a bore draw if I recall correctly), and we still had room to spare in the top tier.

Reasons for never going to MK:- To put them out of business – very unlikely To prevent more franchising – the football authorities have made sure it can’t happen again To ram home their immorality to them - everybody knows the history and that it wasn’t right (despicable in fact), but maybe...

Quite pleased with the draw, looking forward to a big day out with the Sky Blue Army. And delighted with the coverage we got tonight on the TV, which probably did more to put CCFC in a good light than anything in ages. The players (current & former) acquitted themselves really well, and the...

But my missus isn’t on here.

You’ve got the gist, but to be fair the person concerned didn’t say we got “great value”. From the fact that they were comfortable with the sale, I just assumed that they must think it was good business, and that CCFC did the best we could out of selling the player. Not sure how you can live...

Good question, and I don’t have an answer :) Having said that, I think he was being monitored by Spurs etc. wasn’t he? Then from memory he got quite a bad injury with his rash challenge in that game at Walsall, and he hadn’t been back that long when Norwich (who were in the Prem at the time?)...

Getting rid of SISU wouldn’t warrant sacrificing a promotion and taking a relegation instead. There are plenty of less extreme things I’d consider though! btw I guess people are no longer aware of it, but I remember the term “cretin” being regarded as offensive and dropped many years ago (way...

Yes, the Conor Thomas point is a fair one and there will always be examples where young players don't fulfill their promise and the buying cliub loses out. However, if we'd sold Conor Thomas I'd merely have been a bit miffed, whereas Maddison's talent was on a different level altogether.

I accept what you’re saying Otis, and I think you’re right that we probably had to sell him, and not for £20m. I was just expressing my sheer frustration at the lowly status of our club – having a young player who (at least to some of us) was very likely a future England international, who was...

Is that Alain-Patrick d’Oh, the up-and-coming feature writer from Le Figaro? Quite a coup for the Telegraph.

I seem to remember people here licking their lips at the idea of getting £2m for him, and me pointing out that he could be sold on for 10 times that. At this rate, I’m going to be right and it makes me mad that we’re in a position where we can’t keep players like this, at least for a few seaons...

Presumably we need to log in to SBT at 5:00 AM on Monday when you will release the exciting news to an expectant world?

Otis - Reading?

Say no more!

Maybe I’ve missed something as usual. But I can’t see that anything has changed since the article yesterday, which said Nazon had returned to Wolves following the end of his spell with us, but was going to go back out on loan and we were still interested?

Nope, Maddison always had more ability but was just more lightweight. Don’t know much about what he’s done this season, but I wouldn’t be the slightest bit surprised if he ended up at a very big club. Couldn’t believe it how some people were rubbing their hands at the money we were getting...

Yeah, apologies, I thought the quotes sounded a bit familiar! God, that's deceptive recycled journalism from Andy Turner, although to be fair I normally like his coverage of things. The bit where it says "Speaking last month" looks like a standalone paragraph, but I suspect you're right in...

It says City are understood to be continuing talks with Molineux chiefs about an extension. Robins: “I know their sporting director Kevin Thelwell really well and unless there’s a reason for them to move him on I think the appetite will be for him to stay with us. But, again, if a team from a...

Maybe I'm reading it differently, but to me it sounds fairly likely he'll stay with us. I like the player because he can sometimes do the unexpected, but I hardly think he's done so well here that higher-level clubs will be queuing up for him. Can only presume that if we lose him there are...
