    short term thinking expecting long term results

    If they want to be signed by someone else surely the have to play as well as possible. Same really with the 'head turned' thing. If a player has an offer from a team at a higher level then will be keeping tabs on him. If his form goes to shit the offer could be withdrawn.

    That's nothing compare to a game kicking off late.

    How has that idiot got another high paying job without having to give up his existing one? If Lucas is to be believed he is one of the two council representatives at ACL who were so incompetent at their jobs they believed ACL to be breaking even when it was making a loss.

    The FA and FL really need to get some rules in place to bar sex offenders from being able to register as players. You can easily argue that they have contact with kids, are examples to the community etc.

    time to call a spade a spade!

    I get the argument that our overall record and our position at the end of the season are both likely to be better than last season. that is of course an improvement and would have been good enough for me before the season started. However from where we were a couple of months ago its pretty...

    Good to hear. Had a news alert on my phone saying he'd been found not guilty! Glad that wasn't right. Seemed pretty open and shut.

    Back to being the biggest club in Coventry?

    They've used that trick before. Pick one of the supposed 'big' games and to all intents and purposes give you a free ticket to another game. I find all successful business give away their product for free :facepalm:

    Intention doesn't come into it. He broke the rules - that's it plain and simple. Where intention comes in is with what punishment he gets. You could say, and I would agree, it was unintentional, doesn't really impact on anything and has since been corrected so there will be no further...

    short term thinking expecting long term results

    But if a lot of the squad was under contract and got promotion I would have thought if they were surplus to our requirements we could get some money for them. Players that have success behind them would be in demand wouldn't they? Sure there would be L1 clubs who would want them.

    Even Mutton accepted that he failed to disclose it, and once he was aware it was disclosed! The only people who are saying it didn't happen are the council committee!

    Do you actually understand the process they've been through? Not having a go BTW! SISU made the complaint and Goacher came in to do an independent report. That report then went to a council committee, of which I think all but one member was Labour, and based on that report they delivered their...

    No they didn't. They concluded he hadn't failed to register his interests. They didn't say we'll let him off as other councils work differently, they claimed it never happened.

    You need to keep reading as the next lines are: O'Connor: I don't know whether Bob Ainsworth would come out in public and say that Mutton: Maybe not but I would because it is absolutely true

    You couldn't get something much more black and white than that. He was supposed to declare something, he didn't. It was highlighted in the independent report. Then the committee, made up largely of Labour councillors, conclude he didn't fail to register his interests. For me once you see that...

    What is noticeable is all those have one things in common. They are one political party attacking another.

    But look at what he said. The Ainsworth comments from Parliament are quoted. O'Connor then states that would have been said under parliamentary privilege. O'Connor: I don't know whether Bob Ainsworth would come out in public and say that Mutton: Maybe not but I would because it is absolutely...
