There was a plan to have a match at the Ricoh against Fulham and give the money to charity in memory of Jimmy Hill but ACL wouldn't allow it.

I bloody hope so. Don't want a Dad's Army team, we've made that mistake too many times.

The whole thing is very odd. The CT report says he had spina bifida, high blood pressure and bad knees, was also on anti depressants and all sorts of painkillers (painkillers codine, morphine, tramadol and tamazipam). Despite all that it says he wouldn't speak to anyone about his health...

Still seems suss to me. For all Lucas knew it could have been suspicious. Any idiot knows you don't start messing around until the police give the OK.

5 hours direct instead of 15 hours plus with connecting flights!

Does seem odd that if you didn't have the money to fund the takeover you would fly over, have a meeting with the council and only after that meeting pull out. Can't see it being coincidental that other parties also pulled out after meeting with the council.

But that doesn't imply they have financial problems, it implies they are doing full due diligence and have concerns about the financials of the various parties involved. You have to read it in the context of the other quotes in the same article. If you look at the people actually involved on...

All seems very odd to me.

No idea, but why were either of them there and how did they get in? Was it a shared house?

His daughter has said that Lucas told her she binned the pills.

Also, what's your first response when you find a dead body? Mine would be phone the police, phoning the leader of the council to come round and clean seems an odd response. And if she had time to take the call, go round there and clean before the emergency services arrived how long did they...

Posted about this in another thread, its all very odd. The police seem to imply it was suicide. If thats the case why was Lucas there? Then you add in that painkillers played a part and Lucas admits removing them from the scene. Something very wrong about this.

It reads to me as financial issues with the companies being taken over not in Manhattan funding the takeover.

Most people on here are loyal to the football club. You seem to regularly side with Wasps and CCC over the interest of CCFC.

Can't imagine why. You would have thought they'd have snapped ACLs hand off when they offered to sell us matchday revenues for £24m :facepalm:

You can't fly direct to Vegas from Birmingham can you? I don't know how you can do this accidentally. I can see someone making a mistake on dates or something like that but this is just odd. If nothing else an internal flight would have been far cheaper, that would set alarm bells off for me.

It's the inquest into the death of the council deputy leader Phil Townshend today. Some unbelievable stuff coming out.

The council could still have a big say on the future of the club. If SISU, or any future owner, do actually decide a new stadium is required and try to build it council cooperation will be needed. Does it not worry you that pretty much every bit of evidence available going back well before SISU...

Excellent piece from David Conn http://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/apr/26/hillsborough-disaster-deadly-mistakes-and-lies-that-lasted-decades
