    Mowbray, is he the right man ?

    I'm happy with the appointment, better standard of manager than I thought we'd end up with. Let's hope this time next year we haven't got a similar thread about someone else.

    John Hartson

    That's got to be a record. An I'm never going again post before we even know if the guy is on the shortlist!

    Injury returns

    We've got some bloody clever people at the club. Fisher is an expert lawyer and judge and now it turns out Waggott is a fully qualified medical professional!

    OPen Letter Asking For Public Inquiry Over Wasps Deal

    I'm not one of those connected to the letter but I have, via my father as I'm not a local resident anymore, asked questions. Everything comes back as confidential, even things that couldn't possibly be covered by any confidentiality agreement with Wasps. CCC know there are people who have...

    OPen Letter Asking For Public Inquiry Over Wasps Deal

    People say that like they can just snap their fingers and it will happen. It ignores the state of those industries. The Ricoh got a lot of outdoor events while Villa Park was being refurbished. That work is now complete and any booking agent is going to prefer their band playing a city the size...

    OPen Letter Asking For Public Inquiry Over Wasps Deal

    How have you come to the conclusion ACLs income has significantly increased? The only increase would be through rent from Wasps wouldn't it? The F&B etc goes to IEC.

    OPen Letter Asking For Public Inquiry Over Wasps Deal

    Well to give one example off the top of my head Lucas stated after the sale that she hadn't lied about the profitability of ACL but had been given incorrect information. What other incorrect information was she and the rest of the council given and how can we be sure that the information used to...

    Qatar world cup

    The problem for me, even if you ignore all the humanitarian issues, is that the terms for submitting bids were for the world cup to be played at a certain time of year. When Qatar was picked there were lots of questions about how they could play in the heat but FIFA and Qatar insisted it wasn't...

    Waggott the maggott on the manager situation

    Probably as much chance of that method working as any other we've used in the past! I would imagine not a million miles away from how it would work for you and I. Apply for a job while in employment, if you get an offer you then need to resign your current post. Of course the difference with...

    OPen Letter Asking For Public Inquiry Over Wasps Deal

    As the term of the loan has been halted the payments must have increased. So a loss making business now has to pay out more on an annual basis. Wouldn't that increase the risk of default?

    OPen Letter Asking For Public Inquiry Over Wasps Deal

    There's enough doubt about the whole process to warrant an investigation in my opinion. If everything is above board and the council have done the best for the city and it's football club and rugby club then why would they have a problem with any inquiry?

    Lets just support the team.

    We can't operate in a bubble. Put the ticket prices down to way lower than everyone else and our revenue is way lower. We know from past experience that putting the price down doesn't result in a big bump in numbers. The price is fine, especially if you're a local and buy one of the packages or...

    Latest Wasps accounts filed

    What you've missed is that by taking over the loss making ACL they will now be fine. Of course nobody has actually explained how that works out but it keeps being said as if its fact. No matter how good the ale is or how long the hall is open for they're going to need to sell a shitload of it to...

    OPen Letter Asking For Public Inquiry Over Wasps Deal

    A reasonable set of questions that should be of interest to any supporter. To me there is enough doubt about the whole process to warrant a wide ranging enquiry. If everything has been done above board and in the best interests of the city then CCC have nothing to fear by such an enquiry taking...

    Latest Wasps accounts filed

    Sure someone more qualified will explain but isn't this like Fisher saying we've made a £6m profit only to find out we really lost £4m but SISU put £10m in? What happens next year if another equivalent amount isn't put it, before you even consider they will have an additional expenditure next...

    Shock Horror: Tim found out again...

    I would have thought all the local press would be straight onto this. It can't be that hard to go to Fisher this is what Rugby Council have said and this is what you have said, why are they so different.

    Fisher: Support the team

    Can OSB or Godiva tell us how much the accounts show have been taken out of the club for court cases?

    Protests

    I thought this group wanted SISU to leave? Selling no season tickets doesn't make us very attractive to any potential new owner does it? Seems to me they've read the threads about how many people are not renewing and are jumping on the back of that. At the start of next season they'll take...

    Coventry City receive more than 50 applications for manager's job

    For an up and coming manager this would be a great job if you were confident in your ability. Imagine being the one that does eventually turn it around. We've dropped so low now that the one who does it will be held up alongside Jimmy Hill.
