But didn't Joe Dhinsa hold press conferences and hire hotels for meeting rooms and have Gerard Houlier lined up as manager?

I read up to the 2nd line and then had to simply stop for a bit of a chuckle. Allsop? Would say he has been a liability for us so far and been anything but decent. Poor form has been Pressley sticking to a system, but deploying the wrong players within that system.

They wouldn't want to rent the space though, they would want your whole head.

Makes perfect sense. 50% each. We don't want Wasps here, but here they are. The common sense approach now is for a 50% share between CCFC and Wasps.

It could the new model. Tesco would do well to follow Be rude to the customers, let the stock run dry, reduce the opening hours and then move into a smaller store.

If I was Pressley I would pull a bit of a flanker. Today I would be bigging up 3-5-2 and be saying we are sticking with it come hell or high water and insisting it will work, but would then deploy a completely different system tomorrow to try and catch Bristol unawares. By the time they had it...

I agree. Sneaking suspicion though, that though I'm sure it is just hot air, the notion of a 18,000 seater stadium could be based on the fact they know they can get nowhere near Coventry anyway and realise that they would probably lose thousands of supporters as a result.

Well ... sort of. Would say everyone needs to support CCFC on this one and that course would mean Sisu being successful. People need to get Sisu out of their minds and just think about Coventry City Football Club. It's that simple.

Who you replying to Grendel? I am getting just a blank post coming up. ;)

Yes, true. Probably end up as 11,700. 21,700 is very ambitious for a club that historically is not that well followed. I do really think City need to be looking at about 25,000. You have to think to the future. Big games will bring in big crowds. If Sisu said they were building a stadium at...

Though looking at that Bristol Rovers proposal, the capacity of that facility is 21,700, which is already over and above what Sisu seem to be aiming for in any new venture for us. I find that incredibly bizarre. In the last 35 years Bristol have never ever averaged more than 10,000 fans over a...

That's a very good concept.

The answer is obvious - there is no new ground and never has been and never will be. And this is why they keep looking like incompetent fools. The stadium idea just doesn't make any sense at all and no-one believes it, so why do they keep saying they're building it and what keeps happening to...

Well I bloody well hope so. The answer does not lie in a new stadium.

And how do we envisage that happening if it is miles outside Coventry? Put it this way, if it was in Rugby would it feel like our home? What about if it was in Nuneaton, or Atherstone, or Hinckley, or Leamington, or Warwick? The burning question for everyone, is where is this magical piece...

Exactly.

Well yep, that's my beef. Where on where are they going to find this magical piece of land, near Coventry, that has this great access and fab parking and will be big enough to encompass a casino and exhibition halls and hotels etc? It's getting all a bit beyond ridiculous now. A new stadium...

But we know things can't just carry on as they did before. We need a better deal going forward.

Yep. Keep going through the courts until you find a judge who finally agrees with you. Good business practice I would have thought.
