If you went in with that kind of approach, I'm sure that's exactly what you'd get. Personally I find it pretty amazing that you'd think otherwise. Of course, if you weren't obsessed with picking a row just to give you a happy warm feeling that SISU really were a bunch of w*nkers etc., maybe...

All fair enough Noggin, but again that's an adversarial approach. I think the trust have got some pretty clever people on board, the key is just to get Fisher talking and expand on what he's saying. This isn't a court case, you're asking him to explain what's going on, and it's not...

Not much wrong there OSB - and it's absolutely obvious to me that the club don't trust the Trust and would like nothing more than to be able to ignore them. Personally, I wouldn't give them any excuse to do that. You're right about phones working both ways too, but it's the trust who have the...

It's not so much about asking questions of the club, as about how they're doing it which doesn't seem to be particularly productive to me. I think everyone who sits on the SCG needs to stop complaining about the rights of anyone else to sit on the panel, it's pointless bickering. Focus instead...

Goes in for a sliding tackle in the 17th minute, and disappears under the pitch like a puppy under a duvet cover, never to be seen again. In the 87th minute Nouble is clean through on goal to score the winner, but falls over a mysteriously large, wriggling bump that has appeared near the...

Wouldn't they tell us?

All fair enough OSB - but if Fisher made a genuine offer to pick up the phone and talk about it, then I think the trust should try it. At the moment the Trust have got themselves into an antagonistic position with the club, and seemingly with Fisher personally, and seem determined to continue...

I absolutely agree. I'd genuinely move past it and try to engage on the bigger issue, which is how the club could afford the new ground.

And again, and I'm really bored of saying this - what exactly does anyone think Wasps are going to give the club? Both clubs claim (legitimately enough, looking at the books) to need access to the 24/7/365 revenues from ACL. Only one club can have them.

So you'd agree then that there could have been discussions that might not make into an FOI? Why this gets people so excited is beyond me - it's an argument about precisely nothing. Both RBC and Fisher could be actually be telling the truth here, there seems to be absolutely no understanding...

I can't quite follow the logic here. Fisher's said that he could've explained it in a conversation, and seemingly opened the door to have that conversation. But instead of doing that, what you seem to be suggesting is that it's better to have a row at the SCG or publish press releases on the...

No discussions, or no meaningful discussions? I think it's entirely possible that someone from CBRE might have had a ten minute phone call with a planning officer, regarding their thoughts on the possiblity of a ground in location x, or a training facility in location y, and that either not...

Konjic as a giver too. The nicest player I've ever met, and the only man I've seen try to tackle the ball on the ground with his face. McGrath is my absolute hero, but Konjic is a man who understood bravery in every sense of the word.

I can't have Telfer as a taker. He might have been limited, but he didn't half graft and put his tackles in. He pretty much cut Boateng in half, presumably to pay him back for going to Villa. Bellamy as the worst taker, for me - although not helped the mystery Strachan positioning of him and...

Yep. Thank you, Bobby Gould - bless him, he had some daft ideas.

I don't think that's quite fair Hobo. He certainly didn't look to try to play defence splitting passes or go on mazy runs, but he was quite capable of winning the ball and laying it off neatly enough to someone better equipped to do that work. As evidence, go watch that FA Cup Final DVD again...

Seems like we had four just over a year ago. http://www.coventrycity-mad.co.uk/news/tmnw/city_upgrade_scouting_department_825947/index.shtml Did we stop paying them too? ;)

As someone who worked for Jaguar, and Land Rover, and JLR combined, and Rover for that matter, I've got to say that's not a view that I'd agree with. By the time Browns Lane was shut down, it had a quality and production record second to none. A lot of good, clever, hard-working people there...

Without wishing to be unfair to Burge, you can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. I can't remember too many keepers going backwards under Oggy's stewardship, unlike a lot of outfield players I can think of (many of whom clearly seem to have improved more at other clubs than they have under...

Mostly like ours, but with a lot more zeros at the end of some of the numbers? :)
