You're making it sound like the club put zero money in which wasn't the case. At the point the club took a 50% share in ACL they had put millions in to the project. Don't have the figures to hand but the amounts put in by the council and CCFC weren't that far apart from memory. Seem to recall...

How did they manage to elect a group chair while everyone was insisting on being annoymous?

Will be interesting to see how many London / Wycombe based Wasps fans renew STs next season when the free transport to games stops.

Building on the huge success of their last open letter, did that even get a response?

He'll probably be put at centre back then.

The obvious point to make is that they said at the start of the season it would be a promotion push and now we're battling relegation, why? What has gone wrong and where does the blame lie and most importantly what has been done to rectify it. Why do we have such a high turnover of players...

Why have they announced this with them sat in 7th?

Guess it depends on what other options we have. I wouldn't be unhappy if we kept him for the rest of the season but if we could get Murphy back as a couple of people suggested might be not the cards then let him go back and keep Burge as back up.

Why on earth would anyone want to claim credit for the load of rubbish we have signed if it's not down to them?

At the fans forum at the start of the season, with Waggott sat next to him, SP said who comes in and who goes out is entirely his choice. I suspect Waggotts role is more the business side, agreeing terms, sorting contracts etc.

I started going in 86 so Speedie was the first big signing I remember, cracking player. Gallacher was always a favourite of mine and Ndlovu was always exciting when he got the ball. After that it was Hucks and Dion. Keane was obvioulsy a fantastic player but not really here long enough to be a...

Don't think it was a piece as such but something he posted on his facebook. Along the lines of the players didn't believe in SP and he'd spoken to someone on the staff, unnamed at the time, who confirmed that was the case.

Then you'd be looking at one of two things. Either CCFC are doing something strange to not be a viable business or football clubs in general aren't viable businesses. In either scenario I would be looking for a problem elsewhere.

Are you forgetting who the major shareholder in IEC is? There's nothing to suggest that it has to be profitable, it may break even, it may be subsidided by Wasps. Even at cost price it would still be a significant cost to the football club so where is that money coming from. I just don't think...

First and foremost a major concern of mine about the move as it did occur would still be the case, in that a full consultation should take place with those who could be negatively impacted such as CRFC and the Wasps fans having their say. If valid issues were raised then I would be against us...

Is that the same sort of different as us moving to Northampton being completely unacceptable but Wasps moving to Coventry being fine?

What benefit to CCFC? From what is being proposed the club gets a significant increase in matchday costs to enable IEC and ACL to profit. I would be surprised if it resulted in a single extra ticket being sold let alone enough to cover costs. It's a nice idea and of course adding to the...

Because what you're suggesting is CCFC expenditure for the benefit of IEC. Unless you think ACL are going to let us have the hall for free and covering the hire in costs of the entertainment. What you're doing is highlighting the problem of not owning your own ground.

Does this not highlight a difference between football and rugby fans. It seems to me rugby fans want / expect a day out. They aren't really that bothered who they are going to see play, just look at the number of Wasps fans on their forums that just said they would go and watch another team...

I can't see us staying up. We don't seem to have confidence or desire to turn things around. We've also got the problem that teams below us are picking up points. It doesn't look good and I don't think relegation will change things. SP will still be here, the player budget will be cut and we'll...
