So you unequivocally endorse the Wimbledon move to MK based on the information you have just said.

Wow - you upgraded from shady to duplicitous. Next you'll be saying you don't approve.. or is that a step too far?

Sorry if this has been said before, but we debated this with some of our Year 11's in school this week. One comment that came up again and again was that they believed the money and lifestyle of a professional footballer contributed to some of the outcry (obviously not all). As one kid put it...

I know to be fair he did acknowledge it. When SISU do it - abhorrent, morally bankrupt etc etc... CCC do it - a bit shady is the best that can be mustered.

You mean like - negotiate a return to Ricoh and be told to 'rebuild' trust whilst they sell off the stadium on the sly.....

The people that are percieved as the SISU apologists are the people that actually try and offer some kind of balance and perspective to the discussion, as the majority of other just go for the SISU bandwagon. It does not mean they are endorsing or supporting all their actions. That's what...

Less likely than Pressley not saying the phrases 'this group of players' or 'the Coventry way'

I think you are right. Going to be a fun day on here when Joy Seppalla is revealed as the face of the secret hedge fund.

When we played in Cardiff and we were down to 10 men inside 2 mins (Peter Clarke) and we won 1-0 with them missing a penalty and Shef scoring one for us... that was a moment to be proud. The Ashes win in 2005 was far more satisfying than the Rugby WC win in 2003. Even more enjoyable as I was in...

Really....? Look at the facts.... SISU moved CCFC for their financial gain, Wasps owners have moved Wasps for their financial gain SISU showed scant regard for their fan base. Wasps owners have shown just as much regard for their fan base. You can dress it up however you like... but that is...

There is a model - it's called being totally sustainable. Money in is more than money out. But people refuse to accept it because somewhere in the madness and actions of SISU it is the model that they are subscribing to... but not at this moment in time delivering on.

Do we have a better deal for being at the Ricoh now than before we left? Yes we do - so I'd say there was at least one benefit. That benefit has come at a cost in other areas - and if you looked at the cost overall (savings + revenue versus loss of earning at Sixfields) then financially it has...

Only went as the club went into administration though. Technically you could then argue there was no agreement or deal in place at all meaning the club did not have anywhere to play.

I suggest partaking of a few threads on this board. You will be inundated with people that think it is a wonderful piece of business A crippling rental agreement with no access to any revenue whatsoever would seem to me a good rationale to start with. As for Wasps 'reasoned argument'.... they...

At the moment there is no reasoned and backed up argument for the Wasps move is there....? Especially as their move is permanent and they have isolated their own fan base. However their move lauded as this amazing piece of enterprise.

Or from another point of view... the Northampton move was done to ultimately return to Coventry in a better position (motive, rationale is not necessarily in dispute) Wasps are not looking for a cash boost before trotting off back to London are they? So who's worse?

Given Pressley's questionable ability to pick a good player perhaps it time for Leonard Brody's 'text a loanee'

So let's say we build a new stadium. (And to save you excuse of ignoring the comment by saying that it won't happen we will for arguments sake say it will) I assume given your support to the Wasps move you will be happy to support CCFC at their new, purpose built stadium in or very near to...

Do I? That's quite the assumption. I feel the club has been treated poorly by everyone.... SISU, CCC, ACL, Higgs, Richardson, McGinnity and no doubt countless more. The difference is you only attribute blame to one party when the irrefutable evidence suggests that culpability lies with...

You misunderstand.... that was the price for Wasps. For anyone else it was far higher.
