If only the council had made a firm offer to sell it for the £6.5m they sold it to Wasps. If only they'd have given it time to build trust when we came back from Northampton, like they promised they would. Didn't need hindsight to see what would happen when we sold to Wasps, it was absolutely...

And that, you see, is where we disagree. SISU have screwed the club over royally, but selling the Ricoh to Wasps has finished us. The academy and the Ryton are trivial issues by comparison. You can bitch all you'd like about SISU being crap owners, and they are, but one day they will go...

You've no need to respect my opinion SBK, no other bugger does. The point is that I'm not convinced that selling the training ground per se is a terrible idea. I think it's the fact that SISU are doing it that bugs people. If Wasps hadn't bought up the Higgs centre then there was at least a...

Absolutely right. Am I also allowed to be similarly sceptical about getting involved with owners who permanently moved their club 80+ miles in that case?

I lived directly opposite the Jules Verne in 1977 - I would've been twelve at the time. You used to keep me awake, you insensitive bastard. :) (Actually, you probably didn't, and in any case my old man used to park all of his old bangers over there so we got good value for it!)

Straight question: Who the hell here is pro-SISU? Where is this pro SISU club, and does it serve alcohol? As for Ryton, from the club's point of view I couldn't care over much about selling it as long as we've got somewhere with broadly similar facilities to train. However I entirely accept...

Nah - I'd say he's somewhere between 90 and 180 degrees - i.e. Obtuse. :)

I'm still of the opinion that an older goalie with more experience would suit this team more. It's not just about raw goalkeeping ability, it's also about organising the defence (which is also fairly young in parts). Both RCC and Burge make me nervous in all honesty.

It's embarrassing mate, give it up. You're bought and paid for, if you ever gave a toss about the club I seriously doubt you'd do anything now to go against the franchise that puts money in your pocket. If you had any decency you'd put the word 'advertisement' in your footer. You've sold...

Torchy will not be happy when he sees this thread, unless it's that Eric Black is off to spend some time at Her Majesty's pleasure that is.

I don't think there's any doubt that TM made some mistakes, not least of which was getting the recruitment wrong this season - he was man enough to admit that. However the club is in chaos, and the sheer number of managers we've burnt through must show that it isn't all down to poor management...

It's a good plan, but it doesn't involve the courts. Are you sure you've thought this through? ;)

I'm not Jesus, Brylowes, I'm just a man. I don't go looking for trouble, in fact just the opposite. I'd expect to be able to go to a game without someone (another CCFC fan!) yelling 'scab' or other abuse at me. I don't know exactly how I'd react, but I've got a pretty good idea how some...

Just to clarify, I'm not hard GG, and I'm not some kind of keyboard warrior either. You won't see me calling out people here. I'm a grown-up, and I've seen plenty enough of fighting to know that I don't much like it and I'd rather avoid it. But I'm also a man, and I'm from Cov, and like a lot...

Fair enough. I've got to admit that it got right under my skin, this. Appreciate that you've been man enough to come on here and explain, I hope others see it the same way.

Defending calling people 'scabs' is just about the stupidest thing I've seen here in a very, very long time. I'm a peaceful man for the most part, but anyone who called me that might be on the end of something a bit more direct than an unpleasant name. I doubt I'd be the only one who felt that...

Indeed, the Sun was happy to take the piss out of someone's speech defect. That alone should tell you how clever and funny it is... Roy, bless him, not the best manager we've ever had, but as it turns out clearly an order of magnitude smarter than his successor.

I feel a bit sorry for him in truth, because there's no in my mind doubt that he really wanted the job and I thought he might make a decent fist of it. But how could he be so stupid (and greedy) as to fall for this? The bloke was getting millions to manage England, why get involved in any...

Then we could have flogged it to Wasps when the FA wasn't looking. ;)
