I am more concerned ofthe way the club has set it self up 'self sufficient' & 'provide your own funds' This
Very concerning no income etc but surely when unusual situations occur not budgeted for this is when the backers put there hand in there pocket and bank roll the club

I hear all football matches are off next week due to policing issues as a lot of police in London hope I am wrong

Premier League clubs fear more games will be postponed next weekend
Premier League clubs are fearful of losing further fixtures next weekend due to policing and logistical issues

CCFC Finance Director
Fixture congestion is going to put a massive strain on the club. It's the knock on effects that are a problem. Cancellation due to our Queens death is unfortunate but understandable in my view. Disappointed to see other sports don't feel the same. Although I can see the logic in playing and allowing the teams and players to show their respects this weekend. It will be October before ccfc can do such a thing. But it should have been all or no sports not pick and choose.
The effect on ccfc due to all the fixture changes could be huge
The squad is small and under cooked because of the postponed fixtures already. Physically they won't get any rest and that increases the risk of injury as well as affecting match energy. Team needs points so the best players needed to play, small squad with no great depth its not going to be easy
The team relies on confidence to play our style of football and is already playing catch up. Having games in hand is fine so long as we win them all. Not sure I see that happening.
Crowd sizes could be affected, so many games close together, economic situation, whether the team is winning etc. Most cash flow will come back but games played of evening don't usually equate to Saturday ones
The finances will be severely strained. We clearly did not have a financial buffer. Cash flow income will be difficult and lower - player wages and overheads wont be lower. The owners will no doubt have to fund, very short term, operations, but I have no doubt those funds will be extracted at the first opportunity. It may be the club has to come to arrangements with some creditors for time to pay perfectly understand that many companies have to. but we will never know.
Anyone expecting a transfer pot in January is sadly mistaken I think it will require a major sale to create anything meaningful and even then the timing of that sale will affect things.
MR is going to be under massive pressure to achieve. Right now I put achievement as just staying in the division. A lot of it is well outside of his control. Would suggest with all of the fixture problems this could be the hardest season of his managerial career. In the circumstances he deserves patience and understanding, not something a lot of football fans and indeed some owners are known for
I very much hope I am wrong and that everything goes well, the team wins and keeps winning...... the finances take care of themselves then in a sense ...... but I don't see it

I think the FSA was right on this one, and not for the first time the people running football were wrong.

Maybe the FA/Premier League could show some respect to the slightly smaller clubs like us who are most financially impacted, by covering some of the lost income.
Clubs that can spend billions on players meanwhile, aren't sure whether they'll pay the casual staff impacted by the cancellations...

Football call-offs a ‘missed opportunity’ to pay tribute to Queen, says fans’ group
English football has squandered an opportunity to pay tribute to the Queen by cancelling all matches this weekend, according to the Football Supporters’ Association

The only positive is that we hopefully we’ll have Kane Kelly and COH back for the Middlesbrough home game.
I fully back MR to sign a free agent in the coming weeks too

What I would say is hopefully we can start winning games and then the games won’t come quick enough
however I do agree with most of your post saddle.
more games with COH though

Many years ago, we had a small squad, had postponements due to frozen pitches etc. What is different about football nowadays?

5/2 after Norwich I think. Third favourites after B’ham and Hudds. 8/1 for 24th.

It certainly feels like a relegation season to me. It was right to shift players not up to the standard (Shipley, Jones and so on) but it's probably come at the cost of some team spirit and unity, and the squad looks paper thin and, arguably, unbalanced. Two games a week will ruin us.

Like you I've not got a great feeling about this season but its reassuring to see the usual bedwetters banging on about relegation because their doom and gloom predictions are usually bollocks, though even a stopped clock etc.....

We have it in us to make the CBS a bit of a fortress, we always lose to PNE anyway, win at least two thirds of our home games we’ll be okay,

We only won 10 of 23 at home last season, and that includes ridiculously good start of winning our first 6 games at home. We were 16th in the league playing at home and 8th playing away.

4 games in the first two weeks of November too.
Good job Sisu have ensured we have the squad depth for all these fixtures.
