He's a character. The world needs characters.

How much will it cost to access non match day revenues either at the Ricoh or elsewhere? When does that investment pay for itself?

The rental deal agreed with ACL certainly is good. You wonder whether it was negotiated by ACL with the Wasps deal in mind, it was never going to be their problem to give up 50% of match day income. I personally think the club should drop the pursuit of a new stadium and pursue 100% of CCFC...

You'd imagine that even with the Wilson money the club will be in a break even position at best this year.

In what respect? Is it not the case that the council has made what appear to be conflicting statements? I must admit I do think the headlines are a bit OTT but then nobody would read the story otherwise.

Les Reid is a political journalist reporting on the local council. Not sure why he needs to balance this against the local football club.

Did you ask the club for a view on the story, Simon?

I thought it was a charity? Wasn't the land gifted to them by the council? It was previously a municipal sports ground.

We need a mobile central midfielder. We don't need any more wingers unless they play JOB in the centre.

Excellent write up, agree with the analysis

Poor tonight. Mowbray has got a task on his hands. Too many players just have no impact. Barton and Fleck being the main ones. We desperately need a box to box midfielder who can carry the ball forward.

Like the 4 year contract for Pressley or long term deals for junk like David Bell. You do understand there are 2 parties to a contract? With Pressley's track record in the transfer market is it not a good thing that most of the dross we've got are on short term deals?

Contracts are a bi-lateral agreement
