I welcome the fact that there are still people still interested in our club, especially given our current status. However, I cannot see SISU relinquishing control until they've totally exhausted the litigation route, as that IMO that is the focus of their current strategy to recoup funds...

It'll be the barrister representing SISU who's made millions and now wants to provide a philanthropic boost to the club out of guilt!

Spot on Old Sky Blue. I can remember games at Highfield Road with 14,000 in the crowd and a very flat atmosphere. However, the good days of seeing us make the "great escapes" like beating Man Utd at home 2-0 with Curtis & Blockley dominating their forward line was magical! I'm not sure if I've...

The date for the appeal is now published. Oh good - we can stop concentrating on the team winning games!!

Kiss of death. Please don't give it to him.

Too early to speculate. Can we bin this thread until the end of March please? If we're in the mix for promotion at that point......we can start projecting results to the end of season to see if we can get out of this pub league!

We're benefitting from early recruitment and MR having most of the squad in place for pre-season. If we can avoid disrupting the team by too much change & obviously injuries will be a big factor on whether we need to trade in January. Fingers crossed that we only need to add the odd player in a...

I concur the following things from this latest decision: 1. The granting of an appeal has been made by the judge on the belief that there is evidence for this matter to be revisited. It's unusual for a judge to take an opposing view to a previous ruling without new evidence. 2. The timeline for...

Not a sending off for me, as there was another defender inline and could have covered. The concerning thing yesterday was our weakness in defending crosses.

From my perspective the worst managers have to be: Slade Reid Bothroyd Butcher All of them brought neanderthal level of football to the club The best Jimmy Hill, Gordon Milne, Sexton, Sillett & Black In contract the best were intelligent managers.

Success? When did that happen, surely not since 1987

Good performance from our lads. Once we were one nil up our game management was excellent, we slowed down their free kicks our keeper runs away from the goal kick to have a "chat" with the defence, then took his time finding the ball.

I'd keep him, as with the good coach MR provides he will only get better. Unless someone offers a really big sum for him. We need a stable back 4 to get out this league.

Agreed, but we need to keep a stable back 4 in front of him, so they can build up a good understanding . Something we never did last season.

At the 6th round FA cup match at Wolves, where Dougan and Richards ran amok there was a long edition of "knees up mother brown"...

Back in the 70s when we were winning I remember us singing.... "Hutch on the wing and Stein in the middle ... that's why Covs, etc"

I would guess that SISU will be banking on the club being promoted this season and potentially adding value. If this looks likely expect an interim deal to be struck with ACL/Wasps, as by that time JR2 will [hopefully] have been concluded, so they can maximise a sell off. If SISU lose the case...

The Thomas contract situation is a reflection on the tight financial situation the club is in. The club has limited themselves to relatively short term contracts to reduce the business risk. During better times the club was able to commit to longer term contracts for developing talent...and that...

I think you have a valid point in that the wholesale changes to the team is something that successful teams have difficulty in managing well. I remember when Bobby Gould took over the team from Dave Sexton and we saw a mass turnover of players. In the longer term that provided the basis for our...

It will be interesting to see if SISU adjust their strategy. Given that they need to find somewhere for the club to play for 2018-19 and that will require partnership working. Something they've failed consistently to embrace. Hopefully they will now realise that repeating the same tactic and...
