Headline is a bit harsh on Cole. Mowbray's quotes don't read to me as if he's saying no more Cole's implying Cole was shit, more that there won't be household names.

Would be interesting to see public money awarded locally per sport and how that compares against participation figures. I suspect football would have a fairly low cost per participant - that's just a hunch not based on any evidence before people start making demands!

City of Sport would be fantastic but is probably unlikely as it would need investment into facilities. Focusing on rugby makes no sense to me, if the aim is to get people to participate football is the obvious choice. If the aim to to promote attendance at games should public grants really be...

Simon's starting to stray into Les Reid territory. Started off hailed by the fans, took some criticism and then starts blocking people and making sarcastic comments on twitter. Hopefully he won't be on gardening leave soon!

Very disappointing, he must be gutted. Would have liked to see him on the tournament.

Best site for factual information is fullfact.org, not just for the EU for politics in general. They fact check, and list sources, PMQs, Question Time etc.

There has to be allowance for someone who moves from, for example, USA to England when they are an infant. Its finding the balance. How many people would you ever ask what nationality they are and they wouldn't know yet they will happily play for another country.

This is the problem with politics in general in this country. A lot of people are entrenched in their views and don't even want to consider the alternative viewpoint.

I'm just jealous he's got hair!

Not a name I recognised but did a lot of work with the academy kids. A lot of tweets from former players saying how big an influence he was on there careers. 70 is no age to go these days.

You mean the Lib Dem Daily? Its bloody awful and the football coverage is the worst. That's not surprising though seeing as a Villa fan from Nuneaton is chief sports writer.

No idea. Think a lot of people were so into a new stadium by that point there wasn't much rational thought put into anything. In an ideal world the council would have come in with a fresh pair of eyes and realised the whole thing was bonkers and looked for alternatives rather than taking over...

All the taxis down here are Octavia's so I guess they're pretty reliable and cheap to run.

Do what other councils have done. CCC purchase HR, club pays an affordable rent. When purchase price has been paid back to CCC ownership passes back to the club.

How come when we play someone like Doncaster at the Ricoh and they bring less than 500 fans we have about 10 empty blocks between fans, netting and loads of police yet here they sit fans a couple of feet from each other with just a handful of stewards to control them?

Used to get some decent crowds at HR for reserve games but that's back in the late 80s when teams didn't have such big squads and you'd regularly get 'names' appearing. Think it was only a quid to get in as well. If fans don't boycott we'll be stuck with it. What happens when you get Man City...

The only thing that has changed is there's more teams but that can't be it. So you have to look at something specific to France, the policing, stewarding and general organisation.

And the Czech's have just equalised with an injury time pen. Great decision from Clattenburg.

Croatians have kicked off in the ground. Loads of flares on the pitch and fighting amongst themselves.
