    Be positive... let the rest look after itself

    I know I'm just repeating what so many others have said, but if the board can't see that a small investment in two key areas, an experienced and creative midfielder and a goal scorer, are not essential they are incompetent. It could turn things around overnight. Bring some hope in. Doubt very...

    Be positive... let the rest look after itself

    Otis/Skybluedar, a pleasure to read this thread. Two guys debating the pros and cons in an intelligent and thoughtful way. Agreeing to disagree. No malice, constructive. Wish a few others would take your lead.

    Gael Bigirimana

    Bigi seems to be on a very tight leash. Keeping it simple. Playing to instructions. If he gets confident he looks to be a player that can push forward around the box and be a threat. That will come with games. He's 18 very soon. Of course still very young, but look at lots of other clubs, many...

    CCFC - Once an innovative club

    Daz, your dad is right. Wouldn't give him ten years. We would have had a different history if Hill had stayed. League champions etc. Hill was that good.

    Linnel - News Tomorrow

    6 Generations, you're absolutely right. The gutter mentality of some posters on here is unbelievable. They drag the club through the mud everytime they speak.

    Losses ?

    Les, would guess that the monthly losses of £500,000 have been greatly reduced with earners like Lee Carsley, Michael McIndoe, Marlon King, Aaron Gunnarson, Keiran Westwood off the books. Taking a rough guess, that little lot might have amounted to something like £40,000 a week? So a saving of...

    Howard to us on loan?

    Tommy, I read what I wanted to hear it seems. Well spotted. It is a big 'IF.' I should have known better.

    Howard to us on loan?

    Don't know about Steve Howard. Any source for this? But according to today's Telegraph David Bell has said Andy Thorne told him he is looking to bring in 2 attacking midfielders. Now we've all been waiting through the summer for things to happen and we're all cynical, but if this conversation is...

    How Injured is Ben Turner ?

    oldskyblue58, thanks for a bit of common sense. Agree with all you say. If he returns to last season's early form it would be good news. Given time and a bit of AT's 'nurturing' he'll be a real asset.

    Protest at the Derby Game

    There haven't been any TV's in the concourses for about a year. Another cost cutting exercise no doubt.

    We have to play our strongest team against Bury tomorrow

    Maybe Crainie could move into midfield with Sammy away? Some experience beside whichever of Thomas or Biggi gets picked? Or Bell in the middle? Or it could be Gary Deegan returns? I'm all for putting out a strong side. Especially after the Hartlepool and Morecambe debacles. This cup could bring...

    Ben Turner - Bad News... Or Is It?

    Ben Turner showed in the first few months of last season what an outstanding central defender he had become. Massive physique, dominant, first to the ball. Inspirational. And was a threat at set pieces. We would be mad to sell him. We should be building the team around him when he finally...

    Premiership football within two years, hopefully one ...

    Covey1987, don't like the language you use to say it but agree with all you say above. The stayaway fans, they've been staying away for years now, with all the excuses, should look at themselves and see that they are the real investors. Great fans, great team. It aint rocket science. I'm not...

    Crowd

    Lord_Nampil, three cheers - spot on - at last there are a few fans saying what is one of the major reasons why the club is forever in money trouble. If the can't be bothered/part time/lukewarm fans turned up and INVESTED in the club we would begin to be a force again. Coming home from the game...

    Stuart Linnell is very well connected. Don't dismiss him too readily.
