    For debate purposes, just throwing it out there...

    Suspect those numbers are out of date, at the last trust agm they gave the updated figure as 47.6% with the PST having 3 board members out of 7.

    Sisu refused permission to appeal...

    For that reason alone given what has happened in the last few days I suspect we'll see a new batch of court cases from SISU.

    More false Coventry council claims exposed over Ricoh Wasps deal-Les Reid

    It's an odd world we live in. If this time last week you'd have said we'd be talking about Reid, Fisher and Labovich being the most truthful people in this saga I'd have said you were in need of a lie down but it's starting to look that way. Reid has always pushed the agenda that something...

    More false Coventry council claims exposed over Ricoh Wasps deal-Les Reid

    There's the fact that Lucas was claimed SISU were not interested in a lease when Sepalla had told her they were. Additionally there seems to be a suggestion that councillors have been (deliberately?) misled leading into the vote. There's also the fact that the money was from CCC funds not a...

    Sisu refused permission to appeal...

    I imagine with the revelations of the last few days SISU will be gearing their lawyers up for a whole new batch of legal action. Don't think this is the last time we'll be talking about court cases rather than football unfortunatley.

    What Other Team Could You Support ?

    Lived in Cambridge in the mid-90s and used to go to some Cambridge United games but would never have classed myself as a supporter. Just went along as it was a cheap afternoon out at the football with my mates. Since living down here, with Fratton Park at the end of my road, I've only ever been...

    Not sure where you've got your 51% figure from, it's actually 47.6%.

    For debate purposes, just throwing it out there...

    That's not what anyone is suggesting, I don't think anyone is happy with the current position but we ended up with SISU on the basis that we were in a mess and any new owners would be better, not really worked out that way has it. Who knows, I don't and you don't. It doesn't follow that any...

    For debate purposes, just throwing it out there...

    Shouldn't mean blind acceptance of any alternative. What if under SISU its a slow lingering death as they run the club at break even for the next 20 years. That's 20 years to hope that someone with enough money to takeover. Fan ownership may see the club collapse in less than 5 years so we could...

    For debate purposes, just throwing it out there...

    You've got two major problems with fan ownership for CCFC. One is raising an amount SISU will take to walk away. It's going to be a hard sell to the vast majority of the fanbase to say give us money so we can hand it over to SISU. Then how do you finance the club moving forward? How many clubs...

    Extreme measures

    I don't think anyone wants to be chopping and changing manager every five minutes but if there's no sign of things getting better what else do you do? We're getting the same arguments as we did with Thorn and we know how that ended up. This division is so bad it will take a big effort to go down...

    Allsopp

    How do we get so close to the date of his return without SP even having a chat with him about if he would like him to stay or not?

    For the first time ever...

    Should have been in Higgs interests except as soon as SISU proposed it Higgs suddenly decided they weren't interested in sport anymore and were focusing on the arts instead!

    Who's Really To Blame ?

    https://twitter.com/GJRioch You don't need to sign up to anything to see them. It's pretty similar to what some on here say to be honest, when any player leaves he seems to imply they will do better now they are under another management team who can realise the players potential.

    Allsopp

    He's certainly improved massively since being out of the side for a period. I wouldn't mind holding onto him for the rest of the season, there's other areas of the team of more immediate concern. If he's going we defiantly need to get a keeper in, don't think we can rely on Burge.

    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    Isn't there a city plan in place which states what type of development is preferred for each area? Of course that doesn't mean automatic refusal but it does make things harder and give the council or local residents grounds to make objections.

    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    We are told a 60 acre site is required, that site isn't 60 acres. I would assume, if there actually is any plan, it involves selling off Ryton, not renting the AEHC and moving everything to one site. It's like going to an estate agent and saying minimum 4 bedrooms and he comes back with details...

    Who's Really To Blame ?

    SP signed the players so ultimately it comes back to him. We hear opposition managers saying they are surprised where we are with the squad we have, we hear experts on the radio bemused by the team selection and tactics, we hear talk of players ignoring SP, we see players leave and immediately...

    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    Isn't the site they suggested too small? What CCC publicly stated was that they wouldn't break the law when questioned about it by Simon, that's a million miles away from saying they will assist the club in finding a new home in the city. How about Maton puts together a list of 60 acre sites...

    Crisis Point

    I think realistically you have to address them as three separate points. SP first, he has to go as far as I am concerned. We are told we have a decent budget for this league yet look where we are. We have opposition mangers and experts on the radio questioning why we are doing so badly with...
