I don't doubt fans' loyalty to the club - but how about to players? I'm thinking here of things like the 'bomb squad' and how many supported that idea. We're quick to demand that players are loyal to the club, right up until the point that we don't want them any more. Managers too, for that...

Furlong and Morrell, indeed. Didn't take long! I thought they were both half-decent players - in fact if I remember correctly, they were both strikers whom we attempted to convert into wide midfield players. Very odd, particularly for Morrell, who I thought was a pretty good finisher, but...

Did he refuse to play - or was he actually injured? I'm not claiming to know either way, but the only thing I can recall is this. http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/coventry-city-boss-steven-pressley-6641076 There's no doubt the manager thought he could play, but he...

Or should SISU pay a penalty for approaching YB unilaterally (potentially damaging ACL), failing to provide Higgs with sufficient security to complete that deal, and going on a rent strike without the agreement of the other parties. All of that happened way before the council bought out the...

I'm all for giving the lad a chance - but I think it's fair enough to point out that it is a long shot, given the level he's coming from, which is a fair way down the non-league pyramid. However I can think of another one from non-league who had a pretty decent professional career. Was in his...

It's nothing to do with football governance, what are you on about? It's to do with insolvency - there's no fucking law that says that ACL have to accept the CVA, the clue is in the middle word - Voluntary. If you want ACL to get on with it, then why are you whining about them turning down the...

Regardless of him signing for Wolves, I'd still have him back. His only crime was to move to a bigger club for more money. If he wants to come back and pitch in for us again, I can't see the issue. He's not a fan, he's a professional footballer. If it suited the club, because say of a lack...

Surely we've done all this to death. In ACL's words, they rejected the CVA because... “ACL’s motivation for rejecting the CVA was about much more than pure financial interest. Along with various other parties, ranging from Sky Blues fans and Supporters Direct through to local MPs and...

Which, in itself, is ridiculous. I'm not blaming SISU for this farce - we know they'll do anything to avoid paying ACL the money. I'm blaming the FL - they're a bunch of clowns. If they wanted to insist on this as a condition for the golden share, why didn't they do it before the last season...

In truth a large part of SISU's argument isn't just about the state-aid, it's about it being used in a way to damage them. Of course, the Judge is only obliged to address the points he sees relevant in law, but it's surprising how wide that can go (if you use the Higgs case as an example)...

Truthfully, as irritating as it is that SISU are still pissing around with all this, who can blame them? Apparently the FL aren't going to make a decision on this until 6th June, after their conference finishes? What a bunch of tossers - how long would it take for a board meeting to talk this...

Great work mate, and congratulations. Funnily enough, one of my best mates met his missus through football. She used to be a Leicester fan. In fact, it turns out she had kind of a chequered past. She was a student, but fell upon hard times and ended up working as a lap dancing girl. From...

Hey, fair play to Bennett's Afro. The bloke in the canteen did have some inside info - I take it all back! In fairness I'm not sure think this relates to the £590k - ACL have lost revenue of 40+ years with the breaking of the lease. And with that, I'm off. I sense it's going to get lively...

Steady on, what's wrong with being a bloated duffer? ;)

Don't go there mate, it's not worth it! ;) I think, in fairness, anyone who wanted to meet with ML at least, could've had the opportunity through Nick and others here. There are many things I can blame SISU for, but they are at least trying to engage fans, at the moment. Though I disagree...

I sense I'm probably in the minority on this, but I couldn't give a monkey's about what JS looks like. If she wants to keep her privacy in regard to photos etc., that's not a big issue to me. What she does though, in regard to our club, that worries me deeply.

Hi Reg, I think the stuff about the veto and first-refusal relates to ACL, so I don't think that either the due diligence or Appleton would necessarily have been concerned with it. In truth, and imho, it's a bit of a red-herring - I don't think that there's any evidence that either would have...

My understanding was that CCFC were given 50% of ACL but sold it to Higgs because they were, basically, bust.

No problem LN, and apologies I wasn't trying to catch you out, I'm grateful for the feedback. It was the only thing I can recall which mentioned this in the court case stuff, which is why I mentioned it. :)
