Speaking with a Blues fan about their team and what a fuching mess!
They're £70 million in debt, in administration, have a transfer embargo placed on them and are currently groundless. They've struck a deal to groundshare with Northampton but the owners of the Ricoh have since lodged a complaint with the FA to contest it. A reduced rent rate has been offered but as no season tickets have been sold, they have little income if any at all. Here's the latest:

Just makes me think how so very easily this could've been us.
Between the possibility of this or a red kit and a s**t badge, I know which one I would take EVERYTIME.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT A REBRAND THREAD
Unless you have something new to say.
Which is highly unlikely.
No offence.

Surely a good reason to be supportive of Tan?

Ricoh's complaint seems rather unsavoury given that their exorbotant rental charges produced this situation. Shows the benefits of the club owning the stadium.

Only one of the companies making up the club.....but still, a 15 point deduction is massive, they're already looking at League 2 football for next season, not good.

Well, 10 pt deduction in the end:

Could have been worse, but they've still got a hell of a mountain to climb.

Yes, they may find themselves in ever decreasing circles like Luton, Portsmouth and Richard Briers.
