And didn't Rangers go out of existence? (but maybe they're not the same size as us as they have a bigger supporter base...)

Are you a Sunderland fan?

He did not say what Cov should pay, but he did say the rent was "completely and utterly off market" then later made his comment about it being 10 to 12 times more than what most League 1 clubs pay. Therefore, I think he was giving the impression he was suggesting the club should be paying closer...

OK, I'm sure there was a fuller explanation somewhere, but this was from PWKH, of the Higgs charity: "ACL is not the Council or the Charity. It is owned by them, yes. The Directors appointed by the Charity and the Council have to act in the best interest of the Company, equally in the interest...

I've not been able to find it yet, but you need to read the explanation of how this works. I think OSB posted it. I'll keep looking for it.

Ah, "fudging it". Yes, creative accounting is always good for the long term health of an organisation...

Some of us do realise the last point as OSB has been making it for some time. Fisher this morning was talking about getting hold of some of the match day revenues "to put on the pitch". I have some difficulty squaring that with the Higgs negotiations because as I understand it that would not...

Tim Fisher gave away an interesting nugget of information in his radio interview this morning. Paraphrasing, he said our rent was 10 to 12 times what it should be for a League 1 club. That suggests Sisu only want to pay £100,000 to £120,000 a year, which would explain why they rejected the...

Sorry, but I cannot see how any Cov fan can advocate McLeish or Megson for the job. Otis is right, the football would be dire and the results no better.

I don't think he achieved that alone. The people who are really in charge often escape the chop as someone lower down will be offered up as a sacrifice first.

Please God, not Gary Megson.

Thorn's gone. Sisu are still here.

Can't hear the interview. Does it sound like Sisu have gambled their last chips on one shot at promotion? If so, that might explain the speed of Thorn's departure...

We have no money, so any manager already in work for a team in a higher division, or out of work but expecting to work in one of the top two divisions, is not a viable option.

I think they did under Rodgers, but I've heard Laudrup's got them tucking inside more. Seemed to work for them on Saturday!

What's ours? We're 5 times bigger as a city and have the league football all to ourselves. They've got two huge Manchester clubs (and Bolton) on their doorstep. Not sure we're in any position to laugh at their attendance.

Don't "we" (and I assume by this you mean Coventry City) play 90 mins every game? Or are you wanting the refs to cut out that pesky "time added on" which, in our case, just improves the chances of us losing another one goal lead? :D

To be fair to Thorn, I don't think he has used needing time to "gel" as an excuse. A fact of life maybe, but not an excuse. He said this to the Football League website pre-season: "Pre-season was tough for the boys. We've been to Scotland, to do some work up there, and had some tough games...

Thanks chaps. Windows 7 machine. Did it again yesterday, downloading and installing the updates without my say so. Caused the same problem so I know it's definitely the updates. As Dutchman suggested, they have been turned off now, so it'll only do it if I say so! (I hope) It wants to do 49...

I was going to say Leigh RMI because I always liked hearing that name on Grandstand but, sadly, I have just discovered the team is no more: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leigh_Genesis_F.C.
