So if you use the same yard stick that SISU use to value CCFC he's a gazillionair ;)

RIP. He deserves to be remembered for his achievements at Watford rather than his stint as England manager. Watford had the fairy tale with GT at the helm. Bottom league to top flight runner ups, fa cup final and European football in six years. That's some achievement.

Didn't he manage to regain control of Selhurst Park from Ron Noades before that so at least when they did go into admin there was something tangible to bid for? Not exactly success but he at least has one up on our current bunch. He's also got an appetite for litigation. Ask Dowie. Although...

Interesting piece on the Swansea Trust website Trust Facts and History – Swansea City Supporters' Trust There's more than one way to skin a cat.

Portsmouth? Rangers? The point is that the only reason any of these clubs are around is because of fan ownership. Also no one is saying it needs to be 100% fan ownership. Swansea for example.

Still there though aren't they. How many wouldn't be otherwise.

There's a list on supporters direct website Dave. What is Supporter Ownership? - Supporters Direct

Again, thank god no one on this site has fallen into that trap :)

Even a broken clock is right twice a day ;)

Any clarification forthcoming from the club?

I can't see how we wouldn't be better of as a club by holding on to him at least until the summer when the transfer window proper opens and he has a full season under his belt to be valued on. Can't help but think the Brentford are chancing their arm here because they know that come the summer...

What's it got to do with either of them? Neither of them run the club. Sport England's mission statement is " We’re here to increase the number of people doing sport and activity – no matter what their background, ability or age". Their interest begins and ends with the relocation of the sports...

https://www.rugby.gov.uk/download/downloads/id/1170/ryton-on-dunsmore_-_addendum.pdf Here you go Nick. Under Site Conclusion on the last page "relocation of sports pitches to an alternative site". That is the only provision.

RBC state that pitch provision has to be replaced as stated by sports England before the site can be developed and that's it. I'm sure you can do the maths yourself ;)

Not true. RBC and Sports England require replacement of the pitch provision not replacement of the training facilities. It's been spun into the latter but that's not what it says on the RBC paper work which is a matter of public records and available to anyone. Basically some goal posts in a field.

I suspect that would only happen after the sale of Ryton and ARVO have recovered their charges that they have against it.

So basically there is a point as fans protesting and making a noise in an effort to get the owners to put the club on the market because despite what some would have you believe there are people out there interested if a sensible price can be met. Do you know if any of these parties are still...

Just out of interest do you understand if these were individuals, consortiums, hedge funds etc?

If what CD has heard is correct it's laughable. Wolves were only just sold for £45M and they own their own ground (something we don't), training ground (something we won't for much longer), CAT 1 status academy (something we don't have or ownthe facilities for), championship status (something we...
