Cricket has the same issue as football. As much as those in charge want to push it and seem to be all about equality the standard of the games is poor. If you've got Sky there's shedloads of top level football and cricket, there's no chance large numbers of people will start watching an...

I didn't dislike JOB, although he did have a touch of the headless chicken at times. The issue is that he seems to have fallen out with Mowbray. Given that we're not hearing rumours of any other in the issues in the dressing room I think we have to give Mowbray the benefit of the doubt here and...

Its a hell of an effort. Is he likely to have done himself long term damage from this? I mean its not like he's an athlete or anything, got to be a huge strain on the body.

There's various guidelines on the CCC website, and every other council seems to have documents very similar. The closest matches are probably disposal of assets and disposal of land both of which are very similar in that they require marketing and the seller to be able to illustrate fair market...

But again you can't possibly know that. How do you know, for example, that one of the other rugby teams who ground share wouldn't have been interested? How do you know someone wouldn't have been interested in buying it to sublet, or to convert it to another use. That's the whole point. Have an...

No that's not what they should do. Forget about SISU, assume we went to Northampton permanently and aren't ever coming back. Now how does CCC achieve the best return for the taxpayer? Do they agree a secret deal incurring a loss for them and Higgs whilst surprising the local media or do they...

Its all a bit of a shambles. Are they having a PL U21s or are they playing in the JPT? What happens when the top teams leave the PL to form a European League as has been suggested recently? The FL, FA and possibly UEFA and FIFA as well need to sit down and come up with a long term plan. To me...

That's correct. I've seen this justification from a couple of people now and its crazy. You're saying SISU and Grendel are stupid for thinking nobody else would be interested but also saying CCC were right to sell to Wasps as nobody else would have been interested! The simple fact is there is...

I'm not hanging on anything. I just think it is nonsense to suggest that Wasps will become the biggest club as a result of buying ACL and also asset that it would have somehow crippled us and we would have been unable to run it effectively.

But you celebrate Wasps buying it for far less. How have you drawn the conclusion the club could't handle running ACL while in L1? Are crowds are equitable to Wasps, and of course with more games the total numbers are higher. I see nothing to indicate that Wasps have done anything any other...

I'd be tempted to give Sambou a run out, or at least 30 mins off the bench. We can't score at the moment, we'll be short of players due to the internationals and he seems to be keen to get a chance to prove himself.

Yet at the same time SISU matched Wasps bid for Higgs 50%. Its almost as if Fisher was trying to save face after the stadium had been lost.

Worth remembering how the £6.5m was made up. It was a split between new money, writing off loans from Higgs (that IMO were unlikely to ever be repaid) and repaying loans to CCFC directors on the proviso that the money was loaned back to the club. The formula price was confirmed on here by PWKH...

You would need to go back and look at the CT and CWR archives from around the time Paul Fletcher resigned. He obviously realised it had all gone tits up and got out. They were never heard from again after that.

Aren't Mowbray and Venus now in charge of that? If its an issue shouldn't it have been dealt with last summer?

I think we've blown it. With our form as poor as it is I just can't see us getting the points we need. We've been saying this for week but the next 2 games are must wins. Anything less than 6 points and we can forget promotion. After those 2 games we start playing the teams battling for promotion.

Exactly, they say the current U21 games aren't of value as there's nothing to play for but a PL U21 with no relegation means that, with the exception of the handful challenging for the title, there's nothing to play for. Doesn't it also mean that if you get relegated from the PL all your...

The Manhattan Sports bid was arranged by Gary Hopkins and involved Sean McDevitt, Philip Harris, and Roger Garment. They had actually reached agreement with Robinson and the CCFC board on a sale but it all collapsed when they met with CCC. They left the meeting and were quoted as saying CCC...

Once again you're twisting things. You said that at the point we sold our share to Higgs we could have instead purchased CCC's share at the same price. There is absolutely no evidence to support that. The rumours at the point SISU took over were that Higgs wanted £10m plus, pretty much confirmed...

Exactly. People are more concerned with getting one over on SISU than they are the future of our club. Hopefully we'll still be here long after SISU have gone. As bad as many things SISU have done have been the one thing the club will struggle to ever recover from once their gone is the...
