There is nothing coherent there. You are just rambling. Are you really this thick?

Cov Mad reporting second-hand news from an unnamed source. Christ.

I'm trying. So you're saying we didn't just lie down, and that our situation could have been worse? What? No. I contrasted the fan power. Just ... stop.

Not a deal where they get the Ricoh for free. It's a ludicrous thing to say, and symptomatic of the extreme mindset that stops us viewing the situation with any nuance. Fucking hell. The point was about the ability of fans to affect change.

False on both counts. Straw man argument. Failed condescension. If you are going to cry bullshit on a post, don't submit a mish-mash of nonsense.

Sadly, I think it's in the council/ACL's hands -- they have to be prepared to go cap in hand to SISU. Get them back to the Ricoh with a deal they are amenable to. That is their civic responsibility. The brutal reality is that our fanbase is too small and apathetic to fight them; even Man Utd's...

Because there's every chance that they want to 'franchise' the club away from the city.

"and he's grown up enough to put the past behind him" -- that's usually the privilege of the winner, such as the political leader who brings into cabinet a rival who led a nasty campaign against him. SISU seem satisfied enough with their arrangements. It's ACL and their backers who are...

Well, obviously we all hope that the club stays in Coventry. It just seems a bit rich to expect SISU to deal with ACL/Hoffman after all the shenanigans that have been pulled over the past couple of years.

You speak as though Hoffman was the winner in a situation that happened years ago. A bold line was drawn between SISU and the ACL/Hoffman faction, and it's clear that SISU have looked to untangle themselves from that. After all of that, why would they re-entangle?

Hoffman positioned himself as SISU's nemesis. Why give any leverage to a nemesis?

Hopkins makes her money by being a professional troll. Second-rate TV shows and radio phone-ins book her because she's guaranteed to wind people up. Then comes the water cooler talk which involves the repetition of terms like 'this morning', 'schofield', 'hopkins' and 'willoughby', compounding...

It's not like he is sat outside the Ricoh with a tin cup. It is CCFC that has handed him two contracts.

Pretty brutal, but I quite like the move. It allows the current squad to bond and familiarise themselves with each other's play without responding to the styles of players who won't be on the same pitch as them. It perhaps also gives the other isolated players a kick up the arse to find...

It's not really a stand though, is it? I doubt the ghosts of Rorke's Drift are worried about being overshadowed.

Correct. He cost £2m and was sold for £5.75m, making a near £4m surplus. Even at £20k a week he would have paid for himself over his four years at CCFC, though he didn't earn that wage for the whole tenure. A break-even playing asset who single-handedly saves you from the loss of millions of...

True. You're right, crossed wires. Nevertheless, the historical element is what played heavily into the lenient sentence. Not comparable with a 30 year old man guilty of recent crimes under modern legislation.

Not comparable cases. Hall's crimes occurred over 25 years ago when laws were less defined. He was also treated more leniently because in 1986, in front of a probation officer, he resolved to stop his behaviour, cease drinking and be celibate, and has kept his record clean since then. There...

Ugh. Seeking pity publicity? A new low.

These groups form quickly and haphazardly. They usually have no leadership, choosing simple majority vote instead. To try to pin one hard set of principles and demands on such spontaneous and diverse gatherings is impossible. However, it is fair to say that modern youth have grown up in a...
