    What changes for Peterborough?

    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?

    73 points

    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.

    U18/U21 Development Thread

    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...

    Whose intent? When we went through the sales process that resulted in SISU taking over CCC refused to even consider selling their half to the club resulting in at least two other potential buyers walking away. CCFC did indeed sell their half to Higgs but the price for them to buy it back was...

    Armstrong spent?

    The other concern is now he's not scoring nobody is. You hope that when your top striker is getting shut down that creates more opportunity for others but that doesn't' seem to have happened.

    So your opinion is that CCFC shouldn't have been given the opportunity to purchase at the same price and terms under which Wasps purchased? Well that all depends on how a new stadium is financed doesn't it. For example with the Ricoh the council only put in £10m, that would make a purchase on...

    Is Maddison a joker?

    There's a fine line between making it or not making it. You can have the skill but if you don't put the work in you'll be overtaken by others. He seems to have made the mistake of thinking he's made it already and can just sit back now and watch the money roll in. We know he's got the talent he...

    Moving back from free kick to clear the wall, legal?

    Can't be legal. Where would you draw the line, what if they wanted to move to the left or the right to get a better angle?

    Well at least we didn't lose I suppose. We really need back to back wins in the next 2 games now before we enter a run of games against promotion chasing sides.

    Clive also thought they'd scored! Hopefully that'll be the warning that wakes us up a bit.
