Blue 0 Posted June 3, 2010 A couple of points from me, in case you happen to be interested:1. Cowling is a P***k. Everyone living near Colchester knows that. He has even made Tiptree United rename themselves after one of his companies after muscling his way onto its board a few years ago!2. Cowling p*ssed me of when they were momentarily looking like getting close to the premiership whilst still at Layer Road. He was asked where they would play home games given LR would not pass the regulations. "At Portman Road" came the answer. Seems a bit presumptious I thought - surely he can''t just decide himself? so I asked ITFC. Had they been approached? No. If approached would they have to accept (i.e. any rules)? No. Would they be likely to accept? Probably short term for the right fees, but would be worried about the pitch if its a bad winter, so doubtful they''d sign up for anythigg more than say 3 months at a time. So, Mr Cowling what was that "at Portman Road" statement??3. What other team can you name where the council actually paid for the new ground to be built and gives it to the club at minimal rent? Surely that is distorting fair play. Most other clubs have to finance their own ground improvements or new stadium build through their own channels! I wonder how many Colchester council tax payers realise that their tax has gone to a club that 99% of them (given attendances of <5,000) don''t support?I feel better now!Still, onto the matter at hand. Disappointed that NCFC has been found guilty of breeching code 20 or whatever it was - not particularly good PR within th football world for a club that! However the penalty is whatever the judge decides and that should close the matter - let''s face it when do we all agree on the level of penalties ever handed out in football matters (or outside come to that)? One thing for sure is that you can''t use the word "consistent". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canary cherub 1 Posted June 3, 2010 There''s a fine line between an appeal and dissent. If he thinks Col Us compensation is inadequate that''s an appeal, but the size of the fine or points deduction (or lack of it) has no direct effect on Col U since we will not be in the same division next year. That''s dissent in my book, he''s questioning the committee''s judgement. I hope he gets a fine for bringing the game into disrepute. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PurpleCanary 5,554 Posted June 3, 2010 [quote user="Graham Paddons Beard"]Ha Ha'' nice one Purple and completely understandable! Have a good time.[/quote]---Thanks, GPB, it was a very pleasant afternoon,[ip] although I did feel a bit overdressed cycling past the nudist colony...[:$]And I see you got your answer, so I don''t have to feel guilty about neglecting my duties on this board as resident geek/nerd/wonk![8-|]For what it''s worth I think Cowling would be wise to drop any idea of an appeal, although I don''t blame him for being angered by the statement we issued in the wake of the tribunal''s decision. It was badly misjudged, reading like one long whinge. And it enabled Cowling to retaliate by publishing what we''d apparently offered in compensation - £160,000, then £126,000, then £180,000, then £213,000.Now it''s not entirely clear whether those figures referred to compensation for Lambert alone or all three, because Cowling has sometimes used "Lambert" to mean all three. And these figures are coming from Cowling but I suspect strongly they are truthful for this reason. If they hadn''t been McNally could have used his latest interview in today''s EDP to deny them. He didn''t and I think that can be taken as strong evidence that they accurate.And the point is that if they are, then it is hardly surprising that Cowling took us to a tribunal. Even the final, final, final £213,000 (even IF it was only for Lambert) has to be at least £100,000 less than the tribunal awarded (on the basis that the great majority of the £425,000 will have been for Lambert alone). And if the £213,000 was for all three then it''s half what was awarded.The bottom line here is that whatever one thinks of Cowling''s public pronouncements, his ACTIONS were justified. We HAD broken the rules and we HAD offered way less than was appropriate in the way of compensation. And as a result of us playing hardball (a deliberate attempt to get away from "little Norwich"?) it is possible we ended up paying more than we needed to. This is quite unknowable, but it is distinctly possible that if we''d offered a reasonable sum to start with then Cowling would have been amenable to a deal. Saving loads of legal costs into the bargain, of course, as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
