Tell you what I find funny.

A bunch of people who spend a not insignificant amount of their lives online talking about everything and anything to do with CCFC, down to hypothetical locations for mythical stadia, taking the piss out of a journalist tasked with the job of providing material for CCFC fans to read writing about the things that aforementioned bunch of people are talking about.

The words bald men and comb come to mind here.

Fair play for putting it straight, when you hear stuff like this you've got to put it out there for public consumption.

The most frustrating thing is that there is barely ever any real news. After all this time SISU seem no closer to leaving than ever.

I tend to agree but , I stated earlier today there are one or 2 on the Facebook page who are still sticking by the rumour.
If they were hidden by user names and faceless ( like the majority on here) i would say more than likely it was all Bollocks , but their not.
Why would they have their names and faces open to ridicule.

Just not that dumb that I abuse people on a forum that may have better contacts than me.
What's the point is giving them so much flack so they don't bother posting on here anymore.

I presume the same applies to Les Reid as well then, or does it not as he thinks differently to Gilbert?

I would be the same if Les Reid or Tim Fisher was on here. The more people with beter contacts and knowledge about the situation than us the better.
Totally self defeating to hound them out.

Perhaps if Gilbert, like Reid, didn't have an agenda, wasn't patronising and didn't give out abuse and mud sling (similar to which you chastise others for giving him) then more people would give him credence and listen to what he says.

As much as we are cursed with Sisu we are also cursed with two condescending useless pricks as lead reporters at the local papers. We deserve so much better.

Common sense approach Dongonzalos, I too feel that we should be welcoming Simon's presence on here.
I read the Coventry Telegraph on line and don't understand the vitriol aimed at it and Simon.
I have read his book and found it a decent insight in to events over a long period and with the input of the protagonists.

Very strange behaviour. Either it's stupidity and not really thinking it through, or the odd person hates what he has to say as it goes against their view that much they would rather shout him down to silence him.

Reid is the same you are right, but this forum would still be a better place if he was on here posting as himself so we knew it was him. I respect Simon for that one. Couldn't be arsed with putting my own name on here personally. PWKH was the same.
Would be great if you had Tim Fisher on here as well.

Do you get so angry about Fisher? Now I fucking hate Tim Fisher. And I hate his smarmy, condescending, sewer trawling fucking rodent features. And I hate his Mr fucking all I want is the best for this club,may I say all in equal measure.
Click to expand...

No, actually I don't. Fisher's just another corporate whore. A puppet doing the job his masters want him to, my anger there is aimed at SISU. Elliott though has been there of his own accord and just as complicit in some of the most destructive decisions in our clubs history. He's often spoken in the past before he's engaged his brain, which is dangerous when so many fans take everything he says as gospel, and doesn't appear to have any of the skillsets I would hope for a board member or chairman of CCFC, other than being a Cov fan.. Throw in his place on the board under SISU and Ranson, his attendance of Wasps games, the Haskell circus, the desire to shut down the academy and it's an ugly CV. I'd have taken this rumour over SISU of course but I don't think it would have been the right solution, not even close.

Call me cynical but Fisher, Gilbert, Reid, PWKH et al, all have an agenda and play the hand they want. We never get a straight line from any of them.
If they were on here we would only get what they want us to get, and frankly I would rather not play that game.

To be fair if Nick wanted the site to be more popular he would be encouraging the likes of Simon on here. So he isn't just after that.

Again you are correct however personally I would rather them on here to make that decision for myself though. Rather than others making it for me by hounding people out.

Not seen anyone make those posts about Reid. It tends to be about bias with him, but sure.

I think the message after 12 pages is....don't hold your breath, there appears to be no substance behind this.

I could have told you that after post 1, but there you go.

Posters are pretty much the only attraction on a forum TBF.

Well, since you cancelled the variety show.

Looks like the Hoffman/Elliott rumour is yet another false dawn, no surprise there still leaves with Fisher and Sepalla and the real prospect of going out of existence. Being in division 4 the last in the Football League pyramid with no ground in 12 months and the constant threat I believe in another bout of administration always round the corner with what could be a 20 point penalty our future is on thin ice in my opinion and those who think we can just up sticks and move elsewhere tell me where ?
