    If Thorn has nothing to work with?

    Depends who we sell and for how much. Saying the squad isnt good enough is not the same as saying every player could leave with no fuss. That said theres probably only juke, sammy and keogh who would get into most championship teams so we should be looking to hold on to them and if we're to have...

    Is A League One Ground Worth Less ?

    it wouldn't make the ground worth less as we pay rent and assuming there no clause to say if we go up or down the rent changes then it's a non issue. The arena would see a drop in other areas (catering etc) if there were less people there but I would guess at the moment that's a pretty small...

    Attendances are not that bad!!

    The problem is it's difficult to compare against other sides as it doesn't really mean much. More telling is the increasingly rapid decline in our own attendances. Looking at average figures since the Ricoh opened (from ccfc.co.uk) you get this: 2005 / 06 21,301 2006 / 07 20,342 2007 / 08...

    are we really stuck with sisu?

    I find the whole 'we've got no other option' thing a little strange. Using the same selling your house analogy SISU used with the Hoff. I own my house and at the moment noone has shown an interest in buying it however my house is not on the market and everytime anyone asks me if it's for sale I...

    Would you trust sisu with the half ownership of the ground?

    I wouldn't trust them however IF the council / higgs trust decide to sell they could put clauses in to protect the club and fans. Things like the ownership of the stadium being tied to the ownership of the club, no finance being taken out using the ground. But my gut feeling is they shouldn't...

    Sold out?!

    It's time for thorn to go.

    There's no point getting someone else in if you're not going to give them money to bring in their own players. Of course AT will make mistakes, every manager does, but he's not doing a terrible job bearing in mind what he's got to work with. Think he would benifit from someone with a lot of...

    Contract talks!!

    how is this even a story. i suppose you could argue that Clouting was taking care of the contracts but even so you would expect the chairman to be heavily involved. i wonder if they'll run a story if I decide to turn up to work and do my job tomorrow!

    Freddy Eastwood Record

    so are you saying the only games he's scored in are the ones he's played up front in?

    Will BBC cuts mean reduced coverage of the City by CWR?

    Don't they already do this in the Midlands. A lot of what you get on CWR outside of peak time is from WM. Pretty sure there will still be local sports coverage.

    fat freddie on the way out

    If he can't be bothered to get himself match fit can't we just terminate his contract rather than waiting around for someone who's prepared to match his wages. Surely we don't have to keep paying him if he's not fit enough to play!

    What can Thorn do differently, assuming he can't bring anyone in?

    the thing for AT tho is that he hasn't got a track record as a manger so won't be getting lots of job offers. At the moment he is, to a large extent, in a good position in that if the team starts winning he will be seen as a miricle worker, if they don't it's generally accepted he's being let...

    Would you pay more to watch the team win?

    I've always thought that players pay should be linked to performance, guess the problem is how you gauge it. You would end up with nobody any good wanting to come here as the rest of the squad isn't up to standard! Another thing I've often wondered is why you can't sack players? If I don't do...

    New article on Guardian online - 2nd on today

    can someone explain to me how, if the league don't know who the owners are, they know that none of the shareholders have investment or involvement in other clubs? everyone kicked of about the Hoff bid being linked with Wilkinson but how do we know the same kind of thing isn't going on. Or even...

    Just got back

    there is a valid point in there tho. There's a hell of a lot of people who would class themselves as supporters who live locally and never go to the Ricoh. some of them are even quite happy to phone up CWR and have a good old moan. I'm sure many people, myself included, would like to make it...

    How much time will AT be given?

    can't see them getting rid of AT. He's doing 2 jobs at the moment and most likley getting paid less than most other managers in the championship. They aren't going to spend money on a 'name' so why would they get rid of him, especially as he has the fans backing.

    Are you a regular at the Ricoh

    Don't get to anywhere near as many games as I would like due to living in Pompey. Home and away I usually make about 15 a season. Keep working on the wife to move nearer to Cov but she doesn't think being able to go to more games is a good enough reason for us both quitting our jobs and moving...
