    Juggy.

    This needs to be changed. Its stupid starting the season with so many teams still building their squads. Move the end of the transfer window to a month before the start of the season. That way everyone has their squad in place for pre-season.

    Council helps football club

    According to KMPG at the time after they had looked into all the interested parties they established there were 7 serious bidders. Of the 7 only 3 have ever been publicly revealed. Of the interested parties SISU are the only one who remained after the potential owners had talks with the council...

    Council helps football club

    You're missing a key point here. While we didn't go into administration at the time that was just a technically due to the fact that the debts where, in the main, to those connected to the club. To all intents and purposes we went through an administration process overseen by KMPG. They found...

    Council helps football club

    Think you're missing the point here. Every other interested party identified it as an issue and walked when CCC made it clear they would not sell ACL. If CCC had been prepared to work with the club at that point we would not have had SISU as owners in the first place. If you look back with the...

    Olympics

    The theory is that if we start doing that for the Olympics FIFA and UEFA will insist on us doing the same in other competitions so the Welsh, Scottish and NI associations won't allow their players to play as they know a combined national team would basically be English. I think most peoples...

    Council want £325k off SISU before they help the club

    Thats a pretty logical conclusion. We've seen that even if they try to move so that CCC / Higgs / CSF / Wasps will have limited say over our future CCC do their best to block it. Only conclusion you can draw is that the club will be forced out of the city.

    Council want £325k off SISU before they help the club

    The implication of what the council have said is that they are also in a position to block anything that would benefit the club and will do so until they receive payment.

    Council helps football club

    Wasps moved the club 90 miles away, changed their name and then took out huge debt against the stadium to pay back their owner. Not sure there would be many people on here happy if the same was done to us.

    Sports that women should not take part in

    What you're saying about those sports would apply the same to men.

    Council helps football club

    Can't remember without looking it up but didn't someone get appointed, and presumably paid, to cover for him when he wasn't there but there was no reduction in Reeves salary?

    How do wheelchair users purchase tickets?

    How did you try and buy them? You have to use the Butts I think or phone 024 7699 1987. Don't think ticketmaster deal with them. The only change that's been made from last season is not needing to bring proof of DLA to the Butts in person, it can be emailed in.

    Council helps football club

    Because the club gave an indication that they wanted to talk and wanted the council to be part of that process. Within a couple of days you have the council putting a new condition in place that Anderson can not meet.

    Council helps football club

    That's a 20% increase over the previous year and compares to £221,372 for his equivalent in Birmingham, Wolverhampton at £158,124, Solihull at £117,722 and Sandwell at £157,192. He's been in charge since since 2008, just think of some of the things that have happened under his leadership. And...

    Match Thread Bradford v Coventry Match Thread - Saturday 20th Aug

    We shouldn't over react. As spectacularly as the wheels came off when it was 11 v 11 things were looking good. No matter what manager or squad you have conceding a penalty and having a player sent off is going to have a huge impact. They then scored what sounds like an unstoppable free kick and...

    Council helps football club

    Can't you see from the way that the council welcomed the buyers who wanted to buy the club and the stadium before SISU took over?

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Roughly 50% of staff where I work have been told they are being made redundant due to uncertainly following the brexit vote so I don't think its really just wait and see what happens.
