Only where the football creditors rule is being used as that is what they oppose. Football creditors rule was not involved during our administration.

They would have agreed the CVA if the judicial review was dropped.

So you're agreeing that there would have been no points deduction if a) SISU had paid the rent it was ruled in court they were legally obliged to pay or b) they had accepted a lower rent offer and dropped the JR? Seems to me if you're placing blame for the points deduction then looking at those points you have to place the vast majority of the blame on SISU.

Was a strange day.

Went to a game by myself for the first time ever. Needed a replacement phone last week. Kids managed to get my sim card and have lost it so have lost all of my phone numbers. But here is my take on the game.

Poor game on our behalf on the attacking front, but they played as a TEAM. Wilson hardly had any chances with the way we played but he certainly knows where the back of the net is. The new lads haven't helped us on the attacking front, but have helped the defence to strengthen. But if Crewe had a player like Wilson they would have buried us. They were not as bad as their position suggests. Their strike force is though. Effort 9/10. Lost count of yellow cards. Spent the second half waiting for a red card. The relief at the final whistle was immense. Not the normal away SBA I am used to though.

Went for a beer after the game. Ended up drinking with Crewe fans. Good bunch of lads. Hope they get to safety. They deserved at least a point. But we know that feeling. It is good to spend time with other fans. It makes you realise how lucky we are even though we have the present mess we are in. At least we have a fan base to take us further when everything is sorted. Their aim is to stay in Division 3 and have time in Division 2 on occasions.

So now we look safe this season. Great 6 points. 6 lucky points but will happily take them.

Sat in the Crewe main stand, again was expecting a red card, had Paul Scholes been coaching the team on tackling. Connor was subbed cos he would have gone for persistent fouling. Mpussa was a lucky boy a very clumbsy effort whilst on a yellow card. Marshall's booking could easily been red was a lunge not sure if it was 2 footed, no need to give the ref a decision to make.

Not totally out of the woods yet I think however it relieves a lot of pressure for sure. One more win, perhaps two, and then we'll be fine.

I think we're safe. We need to not pick up a point and those at the bottom would need to win half their remaining games.

We won I'm glad we won, I would rather play badly and win, then play well and lose. BUT that was a dire game of football from both teams, no lack of effort or determination but lacking in skill. Webster was lucky not to concede a penalty in the first half both hands on their striker's shirt. Playing a back 5 with 2 further defensive midfielders meant we played very deep and kept on booting the ball high to Callum. Disappointed with Prutton did nothing of note, liked Anton, Baker had a very poor game when he came on. Murphy and Callum are class acts and will be missed.

I know everyone thinks he's not been as good as last season but I rate him at this level and have always liked him
There may be a few politics going on behind the scenes as to his form
Next year we will want him off the wage bill
it's possible he's getting that vibe
By the way did he not make a goal saving clearance near the end and deliver another excellent ball to Callum for another assist. done that a fair few times this season

Ugly win against a team ROCK BOTTOM in League 1!

This is very much similar praise to what he gave Chiba Akpom, Nathan Delfounseo, and pretty much EVERY plank he has brought into the club this season!

FACT is that YET AGAIN a Pressley side showed just how TOTALLY RELIANT they are on Callum Wilson & Joe Murphy!

Did ANY of SP's signings look even close to scoring? The way they played they could be playing continuously now and STILL not have scored - yet they totally dominated the game!

I mean they have played in effect the two teams who are at the bottom of this league, who have been atrocious all season, and were almost beaten!

To claim that Prutton was key just shows how out of touch he truly is! The guy like the manager is a LIABILITY! He should really have been sent off for 2 yellow cards - Pressley was again lucky at the casino in that they had a ref who has never been exactly kind to crewe!

So for the rest of the season we are going to be served up Jimmy Grimble "give it to Callum" football. ABSOLUTE GARBAGE! Even die hard fans could not condone the absolute bilge Pressley is serving up the fans now.

Quite frankly if a win is ALL you want, WHY are you watchign City? Surely right now if you JUST wanted a win, you would watch Liverpool!

Football is SUPPOSED to be entertaining. I cannot imagine the dross served up this year under Pressley would be winning ANY new fans, even if they were playing at the Ricoh.

Most DEFINITELY were we at the Ricoh, Pressley would NOT be at the club! He is without question the WORST manager we have had in a generation, and that includes Andy Thorn!

ANY manager - ESPECIALLY a former defender who produces such poor defensive displays and STILL heaps praise on a defensive minded player, is either a LIAR, or totally detached from reality!

Just look at the team HE has "built" take out WIlson, take out Murphy, but using the core of HIS signings, this isn't even a conference side!

ABSOLUTE GARBAGE !! WHY is he getting such an easy ride?

-10pts does NOT excuse signing nearly TWENTY PLAYERS who just CANNOT SCORE!

PRESSLEY IS A LIABILITY
WORST CITY MANAGER EVER
PRESSLEY MUST BE SACKED
SOSPO
