Yeah, and for the home game there will be probably 20,000 wanting to go but it will be in a ground that only holds 11,000.

We will be playing at the Ricoh Otis I cannot see any other alternative.

Ha. Fair play, they've done everything within the rules. I'm pretty sure they're allowed to sign a keeper on emergency loan if they're short. They've done us twice this season and by all accounts were noticeably better both times.

Nige was told to reduce a frankly immense wage bill this season. To achieve that and scrape into the top six isn't bad really.

The rules as they stand allow debt to be racked up with impunity and owners of clubs in different countries to take the piss like Cardiff and Watford respectively.

As for yourselves-if you lose in the play offs, what next for the Thais? Even with a trimming I imagine losses will remain high and the club debt will be huge-and the stadium being security in effect.

Who knows. The massive amount of interest they're charging on the loans (and possibly the fact KPH own the ground) will put off any buyers with any sense. The numbers are frightening. The whole last three years have been a huge gamble; if it doesn't pay off and they decide to withdraw the club's in deep shit. Not a Coventry amount of shit - I suspect it's more likely to be a Portsmouth amount. They seem to want success (ie Premier League football). I'm just not sure how long they're willing to wait for it.

That'd be my concern-Chainrai still owned Fratton Park and the Thais could use the KP to offset debt. My gut feeling is you'll beat Watford but Brighton are in amazing form and will win overall.

I suspect if we manage to beat Watford we'll go up. Brighton aren't better than us - I watched our game against them the other week and we were at least as good as them. I'm confident we can beat any side led by Hollowhead as well. I don't think it'll get that far though if I'm honest. If Watford can regain their composure after missing out on an automatic slot they'll be too strong.

Did I mention Forest didn't get into the playoffs?

You did but it's hard for me to take interest. Too keen on seeing Coventry v Wolves played in Birmingham.
