Why would they want to keep CCFC rent down? Wasps are a business, not a charity. They'll want CCFC to pay as much as they can afford - Wasps crowds will be an irrelevance to this. I don't know whether some people here have really grasped this yet - Wasps buying out ACL isn't (despite CCC...

Chief, wouldn't agree with all of this necessarily, but elegantly put as ever. I think you'd be a half-decent journalist - but can you make a good cup of tea, that's the question?! ;) As for tin-foil hats, what's wrong with them. Keeps the heat in and the voices out. I've hardly set a...

SFP, I wouldn't want to lie and say that I welcome the fact that Wasps are here, but it's always good to have someone with a sense of humour on the forum. Having said that, I wonder if there's more truth in this than we know. Owning both clubs and the stadium makes more sense than the current...

Cheers mate - that probably means I'm on a whole load of other people's sh*t list though. ;) Joking aside, these things don't worry me. We're all bound to differ on stuff from time to time, my opinion's certainly no better than anyone else's, except to me. :)

I think that the mistake that you're replicating here, politely, is thinking that because he writes articles critical about the council or individual councillors, that he's somehow anti local government or that his politics are different to those he criticises and that's why he does it. I just...

When my kids go quiet I always know that they're up to no good. Just saying, like. ;)

It would seem odd that Reid didn't seem able to comment or write about the Ricoh until he resigned from the Telegraph. Given the amount written about it by him up until then, it seems to strange to think that he'd suddenly shut up if there hadn't been some pressure to bear. Also, clearly he's...

Fair enough SBS, in the same vein I apologise if I've been unfairly harsh here. For what it's worth I think you and Reid both did some really incisive work around all this. I came more from your standpoint than Les's at the time, and we've had our rows on twitter etc. too. For all that...

Wasps have got what they wanted, 100% of ACL for 250 years. Initially their PR was about making a case that the councillors could sell to the Coventry public, which was basically pushing against an open door given what had gone on with SISU. Now there will be a bit of PR about how great the...

Would it really make you sad though, or are you just implying something under the pretence of sadness. Get over the fact that you got your feelings hurt by having to take down a few cheap insults, and open your mind to the possiblity that there might actually have been something unpleasant...

Hi SBS. I sense a bit of sarcasm here, which is a pity. I liked your blogs a lot, but if you're going to go into the realms of unnecessary personal slights then you can't grumble too much if someone takes offence. Like other people here, instead of taking issue with the message you decided to...

Because they can? It might well be something of nothing, but in general where we might have had some ability to influence CCC, Wasps won't really give a monkey's about us, and won't feel obliged to make anything public that they can keep secret. The club's future at the Ricoh is now at the...

I like him a lot more now he's not here. ;) A thoroughly decent, likeable man, and great player. I think he's turned into a respectable manager, and I wish him nothing but well personally, even with Scotland! But I don't think he did a good job for us in truth.

I can't see it because it's fundamentally and plainly untrue. You really need to go back a while and read his articles and tweets about local government. From what I've read this is a man committed to localism, and away from CCFC he's clearly challenged a number of Westminster initiatives that...

Basically, that's the way that I see it. It's just that you can make the point in one sentence. :)

He didn't get into bed with SISU, that's a ridiculous assertion. At the worst, he offered a different interpretation on events - one that a number of people didn't much care for, and ever since then there's been a stack of bullshit seemingly implying he's been bought off in some way. That...

Do you like Wotsits and pornography, perchance? (Don't throw away old jokes - recycle!) :)

Fair comment, but I always thought St Ledger was a decent player. I'd be tempted. As for Kusczak, I'd go for it - I reckon goalkeepers can probably get without the need for quite so much conditioning (I'm thinking of Oggy here, and his 20 B&H a day habit!).

Oh my lord, I thought you were employing dry irony. You were being serious! ;) I remember, some considerable time ago, my mates car being nicked from Craven St. They pretty much stripped anything of value out of it, including my golf clubs (thus saving me years and years of future misery, I...

Brilliant! :)
