To be fair that's obviously not true. In all honesty though, I wonder if the numbers watching the Football League show to the bitter end (when we're normally on) are any higher than the ones watching the snooker on ITV4! ;)

More emotive language here - and the offering once again of opinion as fact. "I can almost smell the fear, as those desperate for the Ricoh to fail begin to realise that it isn't going to happen". It's just as valid a statement that - and similarly ludicrous. The truth is that we simply don't...

Seriously, how on earth can you post about ad hominem attacks when you're pretty much the worst offender here calling people idiots and wankers because they dare to disagree with you. You do know what ad hominem means, right? If you want to debate based on facts, then this isn't a bad place...

I'm not sure I need to have a guess, I'm not the one saying that it's costing the city millions. However, you could try some sort of equation, Num Supporters * Num Games * Amount Spent. And if you were lazy that could well give you a figure that goes into the millions. Of course though, that...

I haven't got a bee in my bonnet because people are protesting, but I get a little irritated when people throw things around like 'it's costing the city millions' without any attempt to provide evidence. Let's face it mate, you're the one who gets upset and runs away when challenged to to...

So in other words this £2.5m is a number without any evidence. Sort of a 'fat bloke down the pub says that we're losing two million quid a year in Foleshill' kind of thing. Sorry mate, but there's not much point in quoting figures like this to support your case. There has to be some attempt...

Did you have a point to make? It's just that there are some people here with something moderately interesting to say, regardless of viewpoint, and then there's you...

Amazing. Andy Turner doesn't agree with what you're saying, so he must be 'frothing' over it. Or is he getting his knickers in a twist? If you can't see why this pisses people off, you're not getting it. I'd like to take my family to watch CCFC, but I'm not going to go to Northampton to do...

At least you don't get bleach in your coffee when you're an accountant. Probably. ;)

Hmm... on the one side there's no doubt that the people looking after the kids who do go to Northampton are doing a good job. On the other side the club, by their actions, have ensured that a far larger number of people who would take their kids, can or will no longer do so. I don't see how...

I think in fairness (and I detest the FL), this actually is quite a smart play. It does, in theory, give them the nuclear option of excluding the club from the league, which is an even bigger threat than (another) points deduction. If they left it until after the fixtures have been arranged...

Blimey, ML is a better spinner than Shane Warne. Not sure about "bank transfer mechanics"? It's pretty straightforward really, one company authorises the bank to transfer money to the other company. All you need are the sort-code, account name, and account number - or you could even write a...

It's a bit like having a job at the sewage works - we're always in the sh*t, it's just the level that varies. ;)

In fairness the article is dated today - but you could well be right.

This is pretty poor, imho, but then I started thinking has anyone been offered a new contract yet? I'm seriously beginning to wonder if everything is on hold until after the JR. Is the end nigh?

Ah - OK, so we're back to the roadmap, in essence. I think that's a three-way negotiation, rather than something that the Council can do unilaterally. I'm after what Rob wants the Council to do - in other words what he'd tell Ann Lucas to do, had he the chance...

Chief, I'm not sure how that would work, but I'd certainly like it explained. ACL aren't controlled or wholly-owned by the Council, and currently hold the lease - so that would have to be broken by CCC, presumably with compensation. Similarly, as long as ACL can pay their way, only they can...

Just to be clear here then Rob, what you're saying is that the Council should give a 125-year lease to SISU, and in effect wind-up ACL, correct? I'm not trying to pretend that you're saying that this should be done for nothing by the way, I'd accept you've never said that - but I'm trying to...

Take your point - but a tribunal is going to have to decide on a 'fair valuation' of him. So if anyone asks, you and I and everyone else here are in total agreement that he's a world-beater, right. Cough up the ten million, Huddersfield, or we're coming up there to take your stadium away. ;)

Never say never, but I take your point. Three epic mistakes led us here, imho: 1) Selling HR 2) Selling the 50% share to Higgs 3) Not buying back the 50% share, ASAP Could it be that out of the carnage, there is a route back? A deal, one day, between all of the parties for the good of the...
