What is it with Swindon, do they kick off with everyone or just us?

#CCFC XI: Charles-Cook (GK), Ricketts (C), Stephens, Martin, Lorentzson, Vincelot, Fleck, Rose, Cole, Fortune, Armstrong. #PUSB #CCFC SUBS: Addai (GK), Hunt, Bigirimana, Maddison, Henderson, Tudgay, Murphy. #PUSB

Looks like no second half goals so a 2-0 win. Great result.

Think Jones is more one for the future, maybe next season if he's as good as some are saying. Hopefully a left back will come in this week. If not Mowbray might be tempted to recall Haynes.

Think our start contributed to the extras. The pressure was on the bowlers and they lost their discipline.

The first thing I think of when I go to the Ricoh is culture :D

But the point is the club was properly marketed and any interested party was able to bid on the same basis. The fact that some of the interested parties dropped out as they couldn't work with CCC is nothing at all to do with the sales process. Compare that to the sale of ACL. That was done in...

The very simple fact is you can't possibly know who would or wouldn't have been interested as it wasn't marketed - that's the whole point! For example who knew Lloyds were interested in purchasing the NEC before it was properly marketed. You deride people for saying we were the only show in...

The point being made is that there should have been a proper sales process from ACL. You say its the same as when SISU purchased CCFC however CCFC went through exactly the process it is being suggested CCC should have. Hence why KMPG came in - they were the experts and ensured the club was...

Not really. When the club was sold KMPG were bought in to market the club to the maximum number of potential bidders. If you recall SISU weren't the only interested party.

AEG was just an example. There is no way you can seriously suggest that every single potential buyer worldwide was made aware of ACL being available via a comment Lucas made in a council meeting!

Is he better than Cobi Jones?

And to me thats where local media lets us down. The CT article is not a cut and paste from a press release, it says they have been asking the questions. Why has the question not been asked as to what, if any, impact this will have on the club's academy and if the response was that the academy...

Are you seriously suggesting that every organisation around the world is monitoring the minutes of CCC meetings on the off chance they happen to mention something about a stadium lease being available? Are you expecting them to do that for every facility around the world? Of course not. Hence if...

And that's key. If Higgs, or the new operators, had an issue with the lease has that been communicated to the club along with the potential consequences of a longer lease not being put in place? Don't think its really special treatment. I would expect the same for anyone. If such a change was...

Frankly I don't care what the 'experts' on here are saying. They don't have access to the full details and don't have to account to taxpayers or deal with multimillion pound sales. My position is straightforward. I don't believe CCC should have been lying to the tax payer regarding the status...

You've obviously seen England play before!

Ultimately that is correct but I don't think it absolves others of any responsibility to act in the correct manner. If this has all been agreed behind the clubs back and the first they knew of it was when it appeared in the CT yesterday then frankly that's not on.

Council have already said the new one will not be commercially viable and they will be subsidising it!

FFS you can't really be this stupid. I have not said everyone is part of some big conspiracy, I have said given the information we have, along with the rumours we have heard - some from better sources than others, we should be slightly concerned that Wasps have the Higgs in their sights and our...
