I understand it's an old argument, water under the bridge and all that. When a chairman of a football club initiates a project that 15 years later sees us on the brink of administration or worse, directly due to his insistence that we leave a ground that was ours, I really cannot see how the...

Jennings for me. Or Murph.

Is being the "driving force behind the Ricoh concept" a compliment? :confused:

Yes, perhaps.

Pleased you didn't deny "bail out" like many do on here.

Because it's no longer about a football club. It's no longer about popping up to cheer on your local team. It's as you say, about a multi-million pound arena with land development and shopping centres and hotels. If that "multi purpose venue" was ours and the club were going to benefit then...

What facts don't you get? We owned our own ground. We sold it, rented it back, got a shed load of money from Tescos, ended up with nothing, paying an exorbitant rent for a ground we will never own. Not sure what's so confusing. Selling our own ground isn't an opinion, it is a fact. Those...

Yes, Tesco paid £60M to the club. As for the shares, as I said you need to question Elliot on that, not me. My Dad gave his up.

We didn't need to move in the first place. We weren't exactly overflowing with fans at HR and only BR wanted to us to move to a new stadium. I don't recall fans clamouring for a new ground. The rot started with him.

Ah. We put in £20M originally. Then we get £6M to sell our share In seven years we pay £8M in rent CCC put in £10M Yep, plain to see that it's all fair. "Stolen"? If that's true then you should put up a wanted poster with Joe Elliot's picture on it. WANTED: MR COVENTRY.

Who knows. Why didn't ACL drag us into Administration after we knew if the playoffs were possible or not? Odd for a company that (and I quote) "care deeply about the football club".

Thank God for that. I was getting bored with "Mayfair Hedge Fund", "Bully Boys", "Hard Nosed Business People", etc. The Council certainly "done wrong", but some walk round with their eyes closed and their fingers in their ears.

Yes, he was a clown. Well, a word beginning with C anyway.

We agree for once, the bloke is a complete prick. ;) But, not everyone. Just the vulnerable in care homes and day centres. He's starting with them. He's cutting £15M from the Community Services budget a couple of months after giving ACL £14M. Weird eh?

Couldn't agree more, flip the coin around, reverse the names and imagine the girly hysteria on here and the lectures we'd get about morals, etc. Sickening that people are backing action against their own club.

Thanks Black. Yes, I forgot about the £60M we got for that.

Oh, come on. Think of his poor family.

Like I said, awaiting the "yeah, buts..."

So, let me get this straight. CCFC withhold their exorbitant rent (which only CJ seems to think is fair) because it is crippling the club and that is "bully boy tactics from a Mayfair Hedge Fund", "immoral", etc etc CCC put HALF in what we did, form a Company to charge us (that's the Club you...

That'll be the bastards from Mayfair. Not the fluffy bunnies in the Town Hall.
