Continue pushing Ukip until they shove the Tories into a commitment for a referendum. We may be on the brink of that given Cameron's spinelessness. Then vote out. Then live with the consequences. Sadly there is no way to hold politicians accountable for breaking promises. I think of the...

The UK never joined the euro, so why protest something that didn't happen? The main issue with the euro is the integration shortfall. When Europe becomes a federation, which will happen sooner rather than later, the UK (or perhaps England & Wales by that time) will be perched on the outside...

They are not a parliamentary threat. The spin from the right may say that they are draining votes from all three parties, but it is primarily the Conservatives. The Lib Dems and Labour will deploy tactical voting to topple marginal Tory seats which are especially endangered by Ukip candidates...

Coventry City.

It is worth remembering that ACL had no objection to Mr Appleton's appointment as administrator.

That is a very pessimistic take on things. Fans will always have a stake in their club as long as they continue to attend and remain invested. No fans = no club, which is why I argued that "starving SISU out" is parricidal.

You have to listen to yourself from time to time. An unfortunate phrase to aim at an atheist.

Even by those standards Adams was less successful than Black, with a 1.36 points per game average during 2005/2006 v Black's 1.54. Finances ... Unlike Black, Adams had a generous wage budget and was able to build his own squad. Joining his February signings (Hall and Page) and existing...

As misguided as Taylor might have been in using the term, it was quite mild, not directed at anyone specifically, and did not cover all callers. This mock outrage to divert the discussion isn't very impressive.

It is not logic; it is subjective and contextual. Most managers reach a point where the fanbase feels they have shot their bolt. MA hadn't won over much goodwill with his ear-cupping antics, brand of football, Ibiza pre-season trip, and ongoing rumours of player revolt (reflected in the...

Black's budget was practically non-existent; he certainly didn't have the luxury of bringing in high earners like Wise and Hutchison. As for doing better: Adams averaged 1.26 points per game; Black averaged 1.54 points per game.

Black and Adams aren't comparable in the least, whether it's the contrast in budget, tenure, expectations, playing style, or fallout.

Quite. It is not a credible source for news.

I just feel bad for you when I see a response as insecure, lazy, aimless and feeble as that one. You ought to stay away from discussion if your ego cannot handle dissenting opinion.

An average manager who was past his sell-by date at the time of his sacking. His final 14 games gave us an 0.85 points-per-game average, a goal difference of -10, and plummeting down the table. This was amidst strong rumours, regularly reported by the media, that he'd lost the changing room...

Not that odd considering the thoroughly shameful thread ripping on the looks of the woman in the directors' box (who turned out not to be Joy Seppala).

So true. It would have been declared a conspiracy by SISU to win the public relations battle using underhand tactics typical of a hedge fund etc etc. But I'm keen to hear whether PWKH denies it.

Indeed. The sensible Tories, such as Peter Oborne (a Thatcherite if ever there was one), recognise how incorrect all this is. If there was ever any doubt that a desperate Conservative party is using this as a propaganda tool, then that ought to have been removed with Cameron's declaration this...

Is that ever a weak and passive argument! Lurking behind sarcasm, avoiding any substance, and ridiculous use of the straw man. If anybody in the thread insisted on a leader's profound, nation-changing pre-power influence, do point them out.

Awaiting comment from PWKH.
