I just hate Labour with a passion. Up where I live now (near Rotherham), Labour politicians have turned a blind eye to all of the Child Grooming, done nothing positive for the area yet always get all high and opinionated whenever they like. People up here vote for them "because mi dad did"...

Labour internet SS at it again ;)

True, I agree but the deal is done and the Wasps have got themselves a good deal and would be mad to give it up. We can't turn the clock back. New owners for CCFC or not - the Ricoh is now a done deal, best CCFC can do is use it's only assets (it's history and remaining fan base) to give...

Oh but it could. Stage 1, get rid of Labour Council and Geoffrey Robinson and all of those pretend working class champaign socialists. Conservatives won't get in, Libdems are finished but UKIP did well in last local elections so why not? Stage 2, see if bridges can be built between new...

Who? Pressley? He's not very good don't y'know?

Hence the title. Half (or at least some of) the problem is the Labour Council. New Council, clean slate, fresh ideas - investment etc. Labour Councils in Coventry have watched over: Cathedral Lanes The loss of the Car Industry Stagnation of the canal basin development No train...

The Council helped finance the Building of the Ricoh. It brought jobs and downstream growth during the construction and now still provides jobs and (importantly) local tax revenue. The Wasps are now there, and like it or not they bring fans and revenue into the City. The whole Ricoh deal has...

Good call. We need a strong GK, all great teams build around one. Would he come? He's 31 and spent a long time as a squad player and not always a no1. I think that if he was guaranteed first choice and the £ worked then he would. We need to show ambition.

I agree with business / corporate and I believe that SOME young / casual fans would go to watch top quality Rugby if CCFC were no more. The question is would those revenue streams exceed the rent and add ons from CCFC. 500 fans (5% for the sake of argument - not a mad thought) switching and...

I think you're right- couldn't remember. I have a vague recollection of BG protesting / threatening to resign or actually resigning over PN's prospective sale to Leeds for about 3 or 5 million. I also have a dim thought that he then got sold for about 1m plus instalments about a year later - in...

Wasps will always see CCFC as a competitor for the disposable income of Coventry sports fans, just like the NFL in USA see "Soccer" as a competitor. There is a rent income balance but let's say getting an extra 3000 fans (if CCFC went altogether) which may generate £500 per year each (£1.5 m) v...

The Uni thing could work, yes I agree - good idea Lefty Council have any spite towards "Big arrogant London Tory type Business SISU"? Of course not. Is GR a Labour Politico with a grudge and possibly some influence? Of course not. Was there a whiff of spite in the Wasps deal? Of...

Robinson made a mistake with his deal with the time expiry. Schoolboy error - the long deal in a family trust would have at least had a shred of hope. SISU need to park their debt and the club needs to have them (SISU) distanced from them to get a land deal in the City Anybody got a...

Two things 1) the careful use if the phrase "Hoffman Style (ie someone who cares a bit - which I'm sure most people believe he does / did and most people have the good sense to know made a mistake out of trying to do good rather than malice) Repeat Hoffman style - ie cares - not Hoffman...

Good call, would probably do it for nothing and that fits I with SISU budget. Did BG find Ndlovu?, cannot remember.

Only viable Exit Stratagy for SISU: Sell / pass on the club to a Hoffman style consortium (ie someone who Actually cares a little) for a £0 fee and a promissory contract (with no expiry date) that pays of the SISU debt off when CCFC reach Prem. (Let's say £5m when Champ is reached, and 50pc...

After Roland and Money, we had Black. Black was doing okay but then we brought in the Legend Archie Knox as his number 2 (former asst to Alex Ferguson at Aberdeen and Man Utd who had then done several years as asst at Rangers at a time that they won everything going). I remember thinking what a...

For Pressley It's "Now or Never" that we should "Return to Sender". Some say "Don't be Cruel", but I think he's "The Devil in Disguise" that will only take us "Way Down". I'll get my coat.

That 45 mins against Peterborough got SP some more time. Had he have lost that and lost Yesterday then I think the serious protests would have started.

SP's four year contract must have some break or escape clauses - I'm sure that SISU must have learned from the mistakes of Ken D and co. TF Would come out in support no matter what. If he says anything else and SP quits and claims unfair dismissal due to lack of media support, SISU pay...
