Mark Pawsey MP for Rugby got involved. Not saying it was down to me however I did write to him as soon as PM’s started talking about our predicament asking him to get involved with the early day motions and he promptly wrote back confirming he would and he seems to have kept his interest past...

Nick finds someone who agrees with him. Aptly it’s two people who probably know nothing about the history of our situation but he’s found them.

OK I’ll bite once more. More discussions. As I said one of many steps. You can take the lazy route of missing the point if you want but changing the game to protect clubs and supporters is going to be a long journey. I know that you’re reply is only going to leave me with one response so I’ll...

NICK IS NEVER WRONG! I think I’ll just leave it there.

Which is why this being debated in Parliament is important. It’s the first step of what probably will be many steps in bringing change about. Saying what will it achieve is lazy and completely misses the point.

In light of the EFL being impotent I wonder if there’s a possibility in the future of the government giving them some backing/protection to make them less impotent. Something like learning about CCFC’s predicament may help educate the government in understanding just how poisoned the game is by...

Forgot about Smiths appointment. Didn’t he promptly go on holiday for two weeks once appointed. You only have to look at Nilssons record in management since to see he’s capable.

That’s about the size of it. While they think there’s a chance of success in court or another avenue for court action that they think there’s a chance of success with they ain’t going anywhere. Unless someone is willing to pay way over the top for the club, which they ain’t. In a funny sort of...

Don’t think Nilsson was given enough time either. Certainly GM wasn’t an improvement, although I guess you could argue that ultimately it lead to Black’s appointment. Who also as you say stood out.

Looks more French to me.

I bet they all jumped up and clicked their heels too. They might be a bit stabby but they have good old traditional British class, so it’s OK.

They are the common denominator. Don’t think we absolve all managers of blame. Thorn, Slade, Coleman and Boothroyd were all failures due to being inept at their job IMO. I wouldn’t never say that they failed solely because of the owners. I would say that Pressley and Mowbray were deeply effected...

That’s a good point. Could be the same in the other direction too. The difference between 8th highest and 16th highest for instance could be negligible, could be millions.

Slade did the most damage last season. If Robins had have been appointed when Slade was I don’t doubt for a minute we’d have stayed up.

Well that clearly backfired going by the most common theme of new threads over the last week or two.

Plus we had this argument last year where people were convinced that we had a top quarter or top half budget depending on who you talked to at any point before Xmas based on noise from the club. Didn’t it come to light in the end that it was bottom half to bottom quarter? Between the budget and...

Top third? Isn’t this the guy who said announcement in three weeks? Pass the salt please.

That’s easy. Owners, chairmen and board who’s focus is on their needs not the club. The club and clubs success has been a second thought at best, a distant thought most likely and not even in their thoughts at worst. I’m not just talking about the current owners I’m talking about the last 30...

The worrying thing is that SP, TM and now MR’s have had to rebuild the scouting and recruiting network. What keeps happening to it? Hasn’t Robins also said he’s had to allocate some of the playing budget on Ryton maintenance? Something Mowbray also had to do.

Did we? Thought it was more like 12? Which is about average for the league.
