It had better not happen again, I was so bored I did some actual work today.

Sad news, seemed a decent enough bloke and that's pretty unusual in politics. See the Mail are up to their usual standard implying he drunk himself to death because of the election result. Nothing like running with a story when there's zero facts to back it up.

He was decent enough, preferably as cover, and can't be costing much. Not got a problem with this, especially if TM can improve him further.

And agree, credit where its due to Dyke. I think you have to say of the 'bigger' footballing nations we've been the ones really pushing this. Platini seems thick as thieves with FIFA and the Germans had already ruled out a boycott before UEFA met to discuss the possibility.

Didn't think he'd go until he was forced. Has he been tipped off that those already arrested have dropped him in it and given the chance to resign ahead of any further action?

That info isn't coming out until after the fixtures are released (which is mid June normally I think).

Not sure I'd agree, not if you want a large number of people travelling by train as it doesn't look like a facility that could cope. The platform looks pretty small not to mention narrow and from the pictures there doesn't appear to be a holding area. What happens if we happen to get a big cup...

He's a decent enough squad player and you would imagine it would be a fairly quick deal to do. What does it matter who is announced first? Its not like we're going to be signing Messi, pretty much everyone who comes in will be players most people barely know.

and decide what shade of blue sky blue actually is and stick with it.

Even Blatter can't play the 'I wasn't aware' card on this one can he? As you say the number of times accusations have been levelled at FIFA that are right in line with what has happened should make that impossible. The FBI haven't done something this high profile to just let it be swept under...

Seems to me what Coventry is lacking is it's Bull Ring. Brum council saw what was missing and did something about it where our council celebrate getting a Wagamama which must already be in pretty much every city in the country. Unless they have a plan and do something to attract the higher end...

They've just been showing a press conference with one of the US attorneys. "Blatter has not been charged or arrested, yet" I hope there's a reason he added that yet at the end.

Given the way we get treated as an afterthought would anyone be surprised if our matches don't count as special events.

I would love to think that would be the case however I suspect all it would take is a leak from Wasps to the CT pointing the blame at SISU and Wasps would be in the clear. Saying that I don't think even Wasps are stupid enough to kick is out, of more concern is how much they will hike the rent...

The 2 year break clause, which is at the end of the forthcoming season, is in Wasps favour so there's no guarantee we will be at the Ricoh after that.

why would they not start earlier if its going to take 12 weeks?

I believe the way the system in use in L1 works is that you submit a budget for the forthcoming season. The FL then check at certain points (not sure how many) to make sure you are close to that budget so you can't say we'll have £10m in revenues this season and spend on that basis when you're...

Yep, pretty intriguing so far.

That's total BS. I am no fan of our owners but support the team irrespective of who the owners are. The people I have issue with are those using SISU as a convenient excuse not to go. If people don't want to go because the football is shit or they have better things to do then just say that...

So you think if we drew Chelsea at home the attendance wouldn't suddenly shoot up? I probably went to around 5 home matches last season without going back and looking at the fixture list. I'd assumed we'd be in Northampton all season so volunteered to work a lot of weekends which I couldn't...
