    I think they do, but they are not talking to CCFC. It is very prudent not to get involved with people who taking you to court possibly for millions if the JR leads to claims for compensation as a result. There are questions to raised about both sides, but the reality is the relationship is...

    I think that although you are right.... it don’t work like that. There is a court case for potentially millions still in the air and that puts paid to any dictionary definition.

    Getting in the limelight in a bid which heavily involves the council means being on speaking terms. Both sides are human beings. Think what you want, but a good relationship helps. No one is erased, but for the time being they are not speaking to each other. It is mutual- as far as I know...

    Do you think that a good relationship would help when dealing with the council? Would you think that the council would be more likely to be proud of CCFC if they were not being dragged through the courts by their owners? Or do you think that it is purely coincidental that CCFC has no mention...

    Not as much as asking about Lady Godiva. That was a specific idea with the shirts. Maybe if they saw it, they could suggest it. Maybe free advertising on the shirts would have got them noticed by the people running the bid. People were asked for suggestions. People made suggestions. It is quite...

    You seem to know a lot. I spoke to a leading councillor recently and he said the relationship between the club and the council is completely broken. Maybe he doesn’t know as much as you..

    Or you could ask if CCFC have offered anything like that.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    We owe the subs up until we leave. The rest includes liabilities on loans that were made whilst we were in amongst other things. If you read what I said, I said we should agree on what is on paper and push the rest on to a commission to sort out. More pressing is the Irish border and citizens...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    They are after us committing to potential liabilities amongst other things. In cash they definitively want the membership up until leaving, but there are loads of other potential liabilities and assets. I doubt whether you know everything on the subject, but I suggested paying the cash...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I was talking about US presidents, you brought up Macron. Macron is not doing well in popularity now, although he is doing what he said he would ( as is Trump - unfortunately ). Macron is not insulting people and using race to divide people or taking rights off gays, so I would say that he has a...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    3 bn is the German share of the membership shortfall caused by the U.K. leaving. That is not the major problem. The EU has not said that it wants to give the U.K. a bad deal. It has said that they should not be better off than before. Brexit was a conscious vote to obtain a worse deal with EU...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    I said that the shortfall is not the problem. Which is not saying there are no problems. I also don’t think the EU wants a bad deal or no deal. They want the three most important things out of the way first. Understandably. The no deal side is the British side who are trying to dodge thinks like...

    I think it’s because CCFC may have something to do with responsiblity for their own fate. CCFC had the home advantage and to have lost that is a disgrace. To blame it on others doesn’t alter the fact that CCFC are ultimately responsible for years of bad management and PR. I hope they turn it...

    Nothing, but it has destroyed the relationship with the council and therefore tainted the history of the club and of the city. It is not even a Coventry owned club anymore and the people pushing the JR have nothing to do with the pre takeover history of the club. If you want to marginalise the...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Seems like loads of people and organisations are warning against Brexit as you say. Conspiracy theory? But who thinks it’s great? Trump, Putin, because he wants the EU to be forced to drop the sanctions. Farage, Gove, Johnson, Aaron Banks, Murdoch..... all of these people are loaded and they...

    This uranium thing has been brought a million times as a deflection from the actual problem of having an idiot in the White House. Worst president since ratings began.

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Germany pays 3 bn of the shortfall caused by Brexit. The total is supposedly 10 bn. The EU budgets will’s be cut. Less people paying in will force cuts. The NATO countries have agreed to commit 2% of their budgets to military spending. Which they will do. The agreement is for a future date...

    Are those the two people who are not in Coventry fighting for the cause? I don't see where you are coming from. CCFC could have done more. You know that I mentioned this to various people at CCFC ( about Wasps getting more limelight through the bid ) a long while ago. You know that I tried to...
