    Cardiff Match Thread

    You can certainly see that the money from Clarke, Wilson and Arsenal has been invested into the team. I've seen better non league sides than this.

    Cardiff Match Thread

    I think I'm watching the wrong channel, the sixfielders keep on about the amazing atmosphere and how we're all missing the best football we've played in years. That was absolutely dire and without doubt the worst half of football I have seen since I started supporting in 86. Everything about...

    Snapshot of your TV world

    Not much on over the summer is there? Just finishing up season 3 of Person of Interest and I've been keeping up to date with The Leftovers (highly recommend that), Under the Dome, Defiance and Welcome to Sweden (if you like the American Office and / or Parks & Rec you'll probably like it).

    Think being a fan-owned club in England is easy?

    Fag packet maths but if you take average attendance as a rough indication of income based on previous championship season we'd be around mid table. Of course it depends what you do wit the money but you get the idea. The point I'm making is would people stick around if there was practically zero...

    Gunner is captain tonight, is that just as they're playing us or is he the most senior player in that line up?

    That's not a particular strong Cardiff side is it? We could be in with a shout here. Wonder what odds you can get on Gunner getting the winner?

    Think being a fan-owned club in England is easy?

    One of the biggest problems with fan ownership in this country is having to keep pace with the other teams who aren't fan owned and are quite happy to lose millions each year. Imagine if we were fan owned. Back at the Ricoh we should have a big enough fan base generating enough income to get us...

    IF a deal to return to the Ricoh was confirmed today .....

    How on earth are they going to build a ground without telling anyone where it is. There's only 2 years left in this 3 year plan so they've got to get a shift on. They got to get plans drawn up, planning permission in, put the job out to tender and get the thing built. If there were in anyway...

    Huddersfield after Pressley

    Surely either Sky or CWR (or both) will ask the question tonight. Assuming he hasn't resigned before the match!

    Steven pressleys record

    You need to listen again, he was asked if the money had been reinvested in the team and very deliberately said it was in the club. Simple maths tells you that, if SP had that money yet has only 60% of the budget he had last season something doesn't add up.

    Allsopp / Burge alternating

    I don't really see what playing Allsopp achieves. He doesn't appear to be that much better than Burge so we're basically developing someone else's player for them, what's in it for us? If he does any good he'll be back at Bournemouth and we'll be back at square one. Remember if Burge doesn't...

    Steven pressleys record

    SP definitely quoted a % cut in playing budget this year on the fans forum, can't remember what % of the top of my head but it should be on iplayer if anyone wants to verify.

    Ex Player Watch

    Was working in Bournemouth yesterday. They think Wilson is the second coming and are surprised we let him go so easily and cheaply. Hopefully they're just basing that on one match and in a couple of years time we're not all going to be looking back thinking what an incredibly bad decision we...

    Steven pressleys record

    I find it hard to judge SP as there's too many unknowns. He stated at the fans forum that all transfer decisions were down to him, which I find very hard to believe. I can see him saying lets get rid of Callum so we can sign 3 - 6 proven players who can get us promotion but why would he be OK...

    Protests don't work. Try telling the Football League!

    The idea of an empty ground is great but there is zero chance that will happen. So if we go down that route you might end up with a slightly lower than usual crowd but all anyone who's watching on Sky will think is that we can't be bothered to turn up. A big protest on the hill, even if just a...

    3 Critical Days in the History of Coventry City

    I'm hoping the money gets paid on time and we have no more rubbish about banking errors or anything like that. If SISU get that paid and the deadline for the appeal passes without an appeal being lodged we might finally have some light at the end of the tunnel. At that point we can start putting...

    Revenues - how much are they worth?

    It's absolutely correct to say that the past sale of the clubs share in ACL and the associated revenues is now irrelevant. Any deal made now will be starting from a blank sheet of paper but I think it is naive to expect that if ACL are sat opposite Sepalla, Fisher and Labovich both sides will...

    Dissapointed

    It is only one game but there are also signs that cause concern. Yesterday just seemed to be a continuation of the poor form of the second half of last season down to letting in a winner so late in the game. I still have concerns about the defence and I can't see us being able to rely on scoring...
