    Playing Devil's Advocate

    Firstly, let me make it clear that I want SISU out.. they have misjudged and mismanaged CCFC and hadn't a clue about running a football club when they took us over. they stll haven't. HOWEVER: If CCFC had not sold it's star players to cover outgoings, CCFC would not be here today. SISU is a...

    Hats off Andy Thorn

    He was given a budget by SISU and has managed to keep within that budget, and is still managing to do so. Whatever SISU might lead us to believe otherwise, I am pretty convinced this budget allowed for players like Keogh to leave and for Cranie not to sign a new contract. Only Bigi's transfer...

    City are a selling club...

    Why all the fuss about us selling players ? CCFC hace been doing this ever since I started supportin them 60 years ago -- selling Reg Matthews to Chelsea, Eddie Brown to Blues, Gordon Nutt to Arsenal -- all our to star players. The way football is now clubs outside the Premiership have to...

    Hoffman... where the f**k are you ?

    Talk about fiddling whilst Rome burns ! For goodness sake -- give us SOMETHING ! All this posturing around. I am aware you and Uncle Joe read this... I know you can't reveal too much, but just a " hang on just a while, we are aware of your concerns and are optomistic we can do a deal" would help !

    Reply from John Mutton

    Basically I said SISU is not a fit and proper organization and 50% should not be sold to it. However, I did suggest a rent reduction would be acceptable. John Mutton's reply to my email:- " Thanks for your feedback Keith. Your views are entirely in line with my own, however, as leader of the...

    I blame Harrison, not Thorn

    Harrison, ex England coach with supposdly far more tactical knowledge than Thorn. So, who is responsible for advising Thorn on tactics, when and how to substitute - Harrison ! You can't blame Thorn for assuming that Harrison knows more than he does. With a team by and large bought from...

    Advice from a supporter who has been watching CCFC for 60 years now,,

    I have seen so many ups and downs since 1952, some so very similar to our current situation. Grit your teeth, expect the worst, but hope for the best... forget Bristol City and Barnsley .. just concentrate now on OUR three remaining games and see what happens at the end of the season. To those...

    I've got that 1960's feeling all over again....

    Having suffered the ignomy of relegation to Division 4 (Now Div 2) and then gaining promotion as runner's up to Port Vale to Div 3 (now Div 1)-- the City were going really nowhere... until the Messiah that is Jimmy Hill came in. We then started to believe that City could at last be going...

    Perm any 3 from 4.....

    Sky Blues Doncaster Rovers Portsmouth Bristol City I think it's down to 3 of the above for relegation. Not sure about the remaining fixtures for the other clubs, but not so long ago we were 9 points from safety. While there's life, there's hope. Depends on how we fare against the others when...

    Perm any 3 from 5 for relegation...

    Donny, Sky Blues, Forest, Milwall, Bristol City. We ain't down yet, so don't give up hope ! Odds staked against us, but whilst there's still 20 games left ... it ain't all over till the fat lady sings (or fat director). Forest are crap, Milwall 0- Blues 6, Forest o Saints 3, Brighton 1...

    Would you ....

    Would you accept Administration if it meant getting rid of SISU ? I would on the basis we are going down anyway (unless a miracle happens). PS Having said that beat Bristol and Brighton (fat chance) and we could be just 2 points off safety if other results gom our way,
