What's Sphinx's average attendance again? :faceaplm: And 10k-15k CCFC fans made the Ricoh a 'soulless bowl'? Here's a more accurate formula: Sphinx at RICOH = 400k rent p/a = insufficient funds to pay for this rent = bankrupted club.

What was said, was said, you, me, or anyone can't deny that, PWKH said 'that ACL were petitioning for a winding up order, and then starting the process in placing the club into compulsory liquidation' - those were his words on this website. I said the context doesn't matter, as in did he say...

I know the blame isn't equal, I can't remember ever stating that was the case? It's not ACL's fault that McGinity agreed to a stupid rent deal, but they sure could've helped CCFC in their time of need, after all, a successful CCFC is in their interests because it is beneficial to the City, in...

It's completely different, Rangers are the biggest club in Scotland (well, most successful domestic team, I dislike the SPL, but I prefer Celtic to Rangers for the record), so they had to take that into consideration, CCFC are merely a mediocre football club - I hate to say it, but it's true, 1...

"The Board of ACL has already issued a Statutory Demand for payment, the deadline for which has long since passed, and is now looking at its legal options. These legal options include petitioning the courts to grant an order to wind up CCFC and starting off the process of placing the Club into...

So have ACL - see PHWK's quote. Exactly, that's why our club won't cease to exist. Btw, if we were to go down that route, a Phoenix club would start several leagues below Non-League and would take a decade of straight promotions to get to where we are now - is it worth it? Hell no, SISU...

Because Murphy, Christie, Adams, Baker, Fleck, Barton, Moussa and L and J Clarke are 'YA'. We'll sign players to make up for CB and where necessary.

They could kick people out though. Seriously though, hasn't the OP considered that there will be stewards, and quite obviously, if this were to happen, it'd have to be quite public, so SISU would just hire more security etc. so it wouldn't happen in the first place. I don't think the OP...

While you're at it, form a 'Sky Blue Taliban', blow up SISU's HQ and we're all happy! :facepalm: (Sarcastic btw)

... Or the school of 'General Understandings' school like yourself?

Well, I'd take the free ST, but I probably wouldn't go, the hassle of getting there is too much when I could be doing other stuff e.g. play rugby or work, which both would be cheaper and are less hassle. I would probably go if it were Birmingham/Nuneaton.

That's why the sacking of Thorn after 3 games was 100% justified, we couldn't risk pissing this season up the wall - which we did, and the 8 game handicap didn't help.

You two are way overstating it. It's a minor factor in the bigger picture, if we're willing to pay him more wages than anyone else, he'll come even if we're playing at Copthorne! I remember Portsmouth attracting some v good players (Glen Johnson, Lassana Diarra) when they were in the prem...

So you believe that Thorn was never a serious contender for job? Myself included, the fans, by and large, wanted Thorn as the new manager, in fact, I think I can remember seeing that other teams were sniffing around him (I stand to be corrected), and I will guarantee you this, had we not signed...

Thorn was a legitimate contender for the job when he got it, and during the relegation season, I think the fans wouldn't have backed a decision to sack him hence the embarrassing 'Fergie couldn't do better' comments and some opposition to it when he finally got the sack. It's a shame that our...

RICOH wasn't that if a pull, it's overstated, it may be a nice stadium, but it's only a 1/3 full for games! I think good players will still want to come here, how'd you think the likes of Stevenage, Yeovil, Brentford etc. built teams to be able to compete in the playoffs/autos?

Wilson, Christie and Clarke is my guess.

With football, rankings will be dodgy because there's only a major tournament every 2 years, and national teams don't play frequently enough to provide an effective check, whilst we're all basking in Murray's Wimbledon win, I'll make the comparison with Tennis rankings, there are 4 grand slams...

You must understand for SISU to make CCFC a profitable venture, they need CCFC to be successful? What good is the RICOH if CCFC is in L2 playing in front of 3k week in, week out.

I don't think that's what he was going for. I assumed he was saying that Fisher isn't 'dim Tim' because he must be half successful to have been hired by CCFC, and his numerous private ventures to be earning, a lot more than a lot of people on here.
