£10.8m the season we went down.

The lack of funds in the relegation season weren't as bad as many make out, the wage bill pretty much mid-table(as was proved from the eventually published accounts). Appointing Thorn as manager, and sticking with him would point to a deliberate strategy of relegation though, unfortunately in...

He wasn't a particularly good scout though, just a myth that he was.

One of a series of bad appointments by SISU. Why I never understood the "Love Thorn, Hate SISU" thing going on from the majority.

Average very much an aspiration for Thorn.

Very far sighted in his signing of Baker to be fair, signing a very good League One player who wouldn't cut in in The Champonship knowing that he would be made manager and be able to have a player already used to League One once he'd relegated us. 1 player, Fleck, that you can name amongst...

5 minutes walk from the town(or city) centre should be the benchmark then. Fans on the way to the Ricoh from the City Centre: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E7cQtbMtODk

Very lucky escape, but the amount of people on messageboards at the time laughing when they went into Admin and crowing about how stupid they were to turn down sisu and how lucky we were to have them at the time was considerable.

German/Swiss, can't find anything to point to a connection with the family previous to taking over myself.

I don't have to back anything up, I'm not the one who's been going on about his "genuine connection" to the club, and was a "wealthy, Saints supporting bloke".

What the fuck genuine connection with the club did Markus Liebherr have before he bought it?

Clark wasn't the last guy they sacked though, it was Grayson.

How many of that squad were actually playing by the end of his reign? How many of them are still here now?

Christ, everybody was desperate to claim all the signings last season as Thorn signings, not Waggott(Until most of them turned out to be crap). Thorn's final gift anyone?

Aren't Coventry Blaze a renaming of Solihull Blaze, uprooted from their natural home, moved to Coventry then renamed? Nice to see that you don't really mind that sort of thing then.

You're right actually, can't move for hordes of people from around the World dressed in their tennis whites wondering around looking for The Ricoh Arena. A quick news search on Google for Davis Cup, Ricoh Arena. shows the huge level of interest shown around the World in the event. Well two...

How much did the council pay to bring the snooker here?

9000 was full over 3 days. Have to also take into account that the Jaguar Hall wasn't available for anything else for weeks whilst it was converted to Tennis courts. Just saying that as the council seemed happy to pay to have a sporting event at The Ricoh over a weekend, then why shouldn't they...

[ That's what they did(The money channelled to ACL via the Council They only get 77% of F@B profits from Compass becuase they received £4million from them for the 23% that Compass receive. It's what they did(pro-rata) for the LTA, so why not?

ACL didn't have the right to ticket income for the event at all, ticket income went to the LTA. I'm suggesting the same deal, that ACL pay CCFC £50,000 per 9000 fans that we bring in, and ACL keep F@B revenues. Only fair that the same deal be applied to the home town club, rather than an...
