Sorry for not mentioning here - I thought you knew that I follow SBT avidly...... ;-)

Back now.... Looking forward to the TV game. Really lucky with the timing as I will be on the road a lot until April. There are not many pubs in Germany that show Coventry. My pub is probably the only one - without a special request - although when I am on the road, I sometimes find an Irish Pub...

The nearest being Simon or David Conn or even TF ( now and again JS ) or court cases ( regular events ). Hopefully Portland will increase the viewing pleasure ( sarcasm ).

One reason being that I can see the politics, but not the games as they are rarely on sky. Not my wish. At the moment though, the mother in law is more important than games or politics and so I better nip into the flat again. ;-)

Yes, it was and a real surprise. Pressley apparently got the tactics right. I only had minute glimpses at BBC because it is my wife's ( common law ) birthday today and the whole family is here. Sorry Nick, I'll make up for it by showing the Swindon game in my pub. Is that ok?

Was just trying to work out if we were better off or not since then. Generaly, CCC weren't forced to help CCFC and if I were them I would have also expected a return for the "bail out". Having said that, the situation got from bad to worse instead of better and the whole concept should have been...

Yes, I agree entirely. I can't see things getting any better in terms of ambition in the short term - unless someone with loads of money who wants to make himself popular in Cov comes along. That would be pure chance and very unlikely.

Out of interest, do you know how much SISU/Arvo take out in combined interest and management fees? Is it less than the extortionate ACL rent? Is CCFC/Otium ( the club ) on an equivalent to a rent to buy scheme ( in this case are we repaying the loans and Investors through management fees and...

The current strategy seems to be: keep costs to a minimum, sell the occasional gem, cash in from the occasional cup run. That way they can give the investors some sort of return without asking for more investment. That we stay in League one or maybe two, is probably taken into account in return...

So. RFC was refering to meaningful discussions. Showing interest is something else. That wasn't either his point or my point.

What? Yes, Wasps seem to be going upwards. As to enjoying reading about the future.... These statements (aims) or similar appear every so often - and maybe it is nice to have something positive to read - but nothing positive happens. Perhaps that is why you seem to get so frustrated. I don't...

Yes, but are we on the subject of the council fucking us over, or of TF bullshitting us over land deals? At the moment I am more interested in where we are going or if we are going anywhere.

Well, why are you mentioning them on a thread about FOIs regarding land deals for CCFC? FFS. Talk about blind hatred of an official body.....

Is this a thread about land deals or about councils assisting commercial entities? Whilst we are here though....Did Leamington put forward a sustainable business plan? Maton seems to say that CCFC didn't.

Was there an FOI about the Wasps deal? What does 6 to 12 months mean? Either it was being discussed 12 months before or it was being discussed 6 months before. Or was it discussed between 12 and 6 months before and then nothing happened for 6 months? Make your mind up o knowledgeable one.

So, FOI requests are a waste of time and Tim will reveal his plans in the new year? Is that what you are saying? In which new year would that be? And why do we have FOIs in the first place? How should we phrase the question? Why the secrecy anyway? - see below ( an Extract from your earlier...

"That can only be achieved by:- • Building trust with the supporters • Success on the field • Clear communication • Having a progressive fully-integrated first team-Academy model" My view entirely. Now, how are we getting along on those points? Playing inexperienced youngsters? OK. The...

Makes a difference. If Simon asked him to clear up some points, then he is doing it at the request of someone else. Or, of course, he knew that by waiting in the wings, someone would eventually ask him to clear a point up and then he could come out with a brilliant PR coup, and point out that he...

Some obviously are. They say that the evil council will never deal with poor old SISU because of the broken relationship. He is just pointing out that he could not turn down people just because he doesn't like them. Now some of them say he is up to no good and protecting his arse. I think he is...

No. That is a SISU trade mark.
