    For debate purposes, just throwing it out there...

    Shouldn't mean blind acceptance of any alternative. What if under SISU its a slow lingering death as they run the club at break even for the next 20 years. That's 20 years to hope that someone with enough money to takeover. Fan ownership may see the club collapse in less than 5 years so we could...

    For debate purposes, just throwing it out there...

    You've got two major problems with fan ownership for CCFC. One is raising an amount SISU will take to walk away. It's going to be a hard sell to the vast majority of the fanbase to say give us money so we can hand it over to SISU. Then how do you finance the club moving forward? How many clubs...

    Extreme measures

    I don't think anyone wants to be chopping and changing manager every five minutes but if there's no sign of things getting better what else do you do? We're getting the same arguments as we did with Thorn and we know how that ended up. This division is so bad it will take a big effort to go down...

    Allsopp

    How do we get so close to the date of his return without SP even having a chat with him about if he would like him to stay or not?

    Should have been in Higgs interests except as soon as SISU proposed it Higgs suddenly decided they weren't interested in sport anymore and were focusing on the arts instead!

    Who's Really To Blame ?

    https://twitter.com/GJRioch You don't need to sign up to anything to see them. It's pretty similar to what some on here say to be honest, when any player leaves he seems to imply they will do better now they are under another management team who can realise the players potential.

    Allsopp

    He's certainly improved massively since being out of the side for a period. I wouldn't mind holding onto him for the rest of the season, there's other areas of the team of more immediate concern. If he's going we defiantly need to get a keeper in, don't think we can rely on Burge.

    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    Isn't there a city plan in place which states what type of development is preferred for each area? Of course that doesn't mean automatic refusal but it does make things harder and give the council or local residents grounds to make objections.

    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    We are told a 60 acre site is required, that site isn't 60 acres. I would assume, if there actually is any plan, it involves selling off Ryton, not renting the AEHC and moving everything to one site. It's like going to an estate agent and saying minimum 4 bedrooms and he comes back with details...

    Who's Really To Blame ?

    SP signed the players so ultimately it comes back to him. We hear opposition managers saying they are surprised where we are with the squad we have, we hear experts on the radio bemused by the team selection and tactics, we hear talk of players ignoring SP, we see players leave and immediately...

    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    Isn't the site they suggested too small? What CCC publicly stated was that they wouldn't break the law when questioned about it by Simon, that's a million miles away from saying they will assist the club in finding a new home in the city. How about Maton puts together a list of 60 acre sites...

    Crisis Point

    I think realistically you have to address them as three separate points. SP first, he has to go as far as I am concerned. We are told we have a decent budget for this league yet look where we are. We have opposition mangers and experts on the radio questioning why we are doing so badly with...

    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    Absolutely agree with that. We're told that private lenders would have no issue lending tens of millions to a company losing millions a year to fund another company also making a loss. Why not do that then and replace the money which has been shown to be taxpayers money despite the council at...

    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    If, when Fisher first said the rent was too high and ACL were reliant on CCFC to be a viable business, CCC and Higgs had turned round and said you can have ACL for under £6m and we'll extend the lease by 200 years we might be in a very different position now. But that would have meant CCC and...

    Wasps "very confident" in Ricoh Arena business

    Won't cost us a penny, have Wasps said we can stop paying rent? All the food kiosks could have Michelin stars for all I care. I can manage to go 2 hours in the afternoon without eating and what is available to eat an drink is way down my list of priorities.

    Gillingham match thread

    I quite like Geoff and Clive on commentary, maybe just because they've been doing it for so long. Although Geoff seems to have been ditched to cover Wasps. Maybe they need to get let them just do the match and get someone else in to do the after match stuff.

    Wasps "very confident" in Ricoh Arena business

    Millions according to Lucas who seems to have a broken calculator. Who gives a shit anyway neither the city or the cities football club or rugby club are going to benefit. If a million people turn up for the game it would in no way validate franchising a club from London to Coventry.

    Adkins or rosler

    I was a fan of Baker when he was here but I'm not sure how we go from him being one of the better of a group of under-performing players to manager in waiting. The last thing we need with the state the club is in would be to have someone learning on the job. Maybe if he was still here as a...

    Council admits Ricoh Arena was not sustainable without CCFC

    We've had a lot of shit posts that are way off topic on this forum over the years but that one should be given an award. Do the PR company pay you extra for posting at weekends? And if you think no free tickets are available for that game you are mistaken, well either that or my Dad is lying to...
