Fair play Rupert. What was communist Plovdiv like? Many City there?

Cameron was ok here and a better option than say Webster or Jordan Clarke at centre half (his replacements)

Before Keegan was rejected by Doncaster he was turned down by Coventry City for being too small. Or so the legend goes

These teams and their pesky bond schemes.

[Puts on anorak]. It does, Greenfield is in the borough of Oldham. Mills Hill (Chadderton / Middleton border) might also be in Oldham.

Probably starting to see the effect of improving home attendances on the away gates. The home average is up by 30% - some of these will be those who were attending more away from home in previous seasons but can't afford to do both.

They'd be in a significantly stronger negotiating position. But ACL in its previous state would have wanted more certainty than 4 years surely?

Who made the final decision to grant Wasps a 250 year lease? Who decided to perform an about turn and sell their own stake in ACL? I'll give you a clue. It isn't CCFC, it isn't ACL and it isn't Wasps.

Fiduciary duty

Why should anything be predicated on dropping the JR? What sort of public authority would blackmail like that?

I will have to find the quote either Derek Richardson or Nick Eastwood referenced talks with ACL that pre-date August 2014. Do you think that this deal, including all the legal ramifications, was made in a 6 week period? When the fundamentals of what Wasps were purchasing were subject to change?

And in answer to the "Why didn't they do it before?" silly question that will follow: They were never given the opportunity to buy 100% of ACL as at the time the council were in it for the long term. Extending the lease to 125 years was provisionally agreed but in the end neither party pursued it.

Thanks for that. I'm sure that ACL ignored any prospect of Wasps talking over in the negotiations.

Wasps even let slip themselves that they'd been talking to ACL for some time. It's hardly paranoia.

Where have you got that nonsense about teams with a lower income but higher budget from?

He started well but went rapidly downhill to the extent that I'm not surprised he's been released by Wigan. No thanks.

That isn't true. Bury doesn't have one either technically.

I know Baker has an inflated status amongst City fans but don't think MK have found god

It was Middlesbrough

Utter drivel
