    Next season....

    I have had a season ticket for 30 out of last 40 years. No more. I will not be getting one whilst SISU are in charge and I will not attend home games outside Coventry. That could be it for me, now. Never thought I'd see the day, but our club has been kidnapped and held to ransom. We MUST...

    How culpable are the Football league in this farce?

    I see it like a crime committed. All those convicted are 100% guilty and get the full punishment, it is not divided between the number of culprits.

    How culpable are the Football league in this farce?

    The FA and FL have presided over the scandal the English game has become .. Violent, racist, sexist, greedy players, owners who are corrupt and launder money and fiddle their taxes. You get the picture. FA and FL, UEFA, FIFA all share the blame 100%

    club to hold meetings with fans

    IMO you are entitled to your view but it is actually like a judge who listens to evidence but refuses to make a judgement. Weigh the evidence and it is obvious which party is the aggressor and which has tried a reasonable position but been shafted repeatedly. BTW Can a moderator remove the...

    club to hold meetings with fans

    By "refused to negotiate a deal that is commercially viable for the football club", does he mean, "refused to hand over a multiple million pound facility and all its revenue streams for nothing" ? Is this negotiate like hostage takers? We get what we want or we kill the hostage, a certain...

    Any programme collectors here?

    I have nearly every home programme for 40 years and about 70 from the 50s and 60s. No idea what to do with them so am open to offers

    have our council done enough

    Maybe, but the latter is under much greater public scrutiny than the former, and cannot move away.

    why no mention of memorial garden

    CCC will have to step in if the worst happens. They have a duty of care. Our owners?

    have our council done enough

    You should have said "electoral mandate" since the word mandate can mean "authority to act concerning" In either case, of course a council has a mandate to act to protect a facility it part owns. It has a clear public duty to ensure a public asset is protected and to ensure the development of...

    have our council done enough

    You were suggesting that the Ricoh arena had nothing to do with CCC, which is clearly absurd.

    have our council done enough

    Chortle, Chortle. No, I teach English, Humanities and Social Sciences... To A level, as it happens, so I am used to barrack room lawyers. Comment is free, as far as I'm aware.

    Chortle. As I am a teacher and you are a pupil I think so. !)

    have our council done enough

    Have I fallen through a hole in the space time continuum and woken in another dimension? Didn't CCC 1) rescue the Ricoh project when CCFC had sold Highfield rd? Doesn't CCC 2) part own the Ricoh arena? How can some people behave as if none of this has happened? SBTaylor, you seem to blank...

    Hate them all!!

    I understand the sentiment on this thread but, really, "a plague on both your houses" is a cop out. Fans have to see the bigger picture that only one side owe us fans anything. It is the actions of our owners that are to blame. They have had 5 years to sort it and have failed. Time to force...

    Golden Share Could Be In Holdings After All

    To answer your question directly, Grendel. I would expect ACL to offer a better deal on the rent and revenue to a new owner. I would fully support this as SISU have shown themselves to be unfit owners on so many occasions. A new start is what we need. This would be perfectly acceptable business...

    Golden Share Could Be In Holdings After All

    I recognise majority of blame on one side, a few defensive mistakes on the other side, you don't. You also don't like analogies. Fair enough but sometimes they help you see a pattern of behaviours.

    Golden Share Could Be In Holdings After All

    If that's what you think you have not really read it. There is subtlety there you seem to have missed. Just because one draws a conclusion does not mean the evidence has been seen as black and White. Please see the difference between " I'm right, you're wrong" and "Well, both have contributed to...

    Golden Share Could Be In Holdings After All

    No, Torch, I think you have misread that. Very few people take that view. Some have been at pains to say that ACL have contributed to the problem. None of us know the full facts but I think if anyone looked at all the facts that we do know we can see a pattern of mendacious behaviours from our...
