    Match Thread Cardiff - Home - wednesday the 15th

    You know what is very pleasing to see is how fast we are moving the ball around the pitch. Add to that brave but better decision making and you can see why opposition teams are immediately on the back foot when playing us. Hope it continues but the football is a joy to watch

    Never actually said that, but my professional & business knowledge means i keep a healthy scepticism I was being quite specific Pete about the fans perception that SISU had backed the manager with funds to purchase players. I don't see any evidence of it. Where they have fully backed him is in...

    Have never said otherwise. But the premise made was that they had provided extra funds to back MR and buy players. No evidence of that

    Joy Seppala at Warwick University

    I know we don't have the 2021 accounts but seriously show me how in cold finance where sisu have put in extra funds to buy all these players. It hasn't happened in the 5 years to 30/06/2020. In fact they took out more than they put in. I have detailed this several times previously. My guess is...

    Cov RFC Season 21/22

    What does disappoint me greatly is how little coverage that the CT gives to Cov Rugby. Even if they can't afford a separate reporter surely they could get permission to cut and paste articles. There is no excuse for not covering the club and there is clearly interest in the area.

    Cov RFC Season 21/22

    The starting wasps 15 had a good number of first team. Cov certainly were not over awed and put on a good display throughout. Yes the score was 21 : 52 to wasps but that doesn't tell the whole story. Wasps were stronger in the scrum and lineout in first half particularly but Cov were always in...

    Wasps ticket prices

    Look the finances are not great have never said differently and still of that opinion. But you are applying the ccfc context to wasps and the two are not in the same situation. There is no relegation for wasps so thats not going to hit them for at least 3 seasons, good chance never will. The...

    Wasps ticket prices

    You have been saying that for four years and it's still not close to happening. The ring fenced league probably makes it less likely and they are still signing players. The business is now focused on more than rugby I think their business focus has changed. More focused on keeping their biggest...

    Wasps ticket prices

    50 quid is a lot. I certainly wouldn't pay it. 22 quid at the bpa, which is where I will be going.

    Here are a few proposals that might change owners spending habits Clubs to be run as proper businesses by not having the football creditors rules. Don't argue these are ordinary businesses then give those businesses special rules outside of those available to every other commercial enterprise...

    Derby

    I think people have the wrong idea of what the EFL is. It runs a closed competition for the clubs for the benefit of the clubs mainly by distributing sponsors money. It has regulations rather than rules set in stone that can be varied by the EFL board if they choose. It is not a financial...

    Derby

    Actually it isnt just resubmitting parts of the accounts. Each year to some degree must be re-audited in full, because changing a few calculations each year leads to an investigation of and a reassessment of whether the club is a going concern for at least 12 months from now. That reassessment...

    SISU In or out?

    But relying on player transfers to pay the bills is exactly how SISU operate the club i don't see any evidence that has changed. Technically they haven't hidden, in fact they haven't said anything at all, just let MR get on with it. Long may that continue but i don't see any change in how we...

    Match Thread Reading

    manager Veljko Paunovic told BBC Radio Berkshire: "It's a difficult loss. We played until the last second a pretty mature and good game. "The first half went our way and, in the second half, we recomposed ourselves after their goal. We had a couple of situations we could have affected better...

    Match Thread Reading

    We played well but need to be more clinical in front of goal. The defence still has dodgy moments often self inflicted. Thoroughly deserved the win any other result would have been a travesty. Reading disappointing and generally poor. Referee was inconsistent and frankly missed a lot. The...

    SISU In or out?

    It's within our budget because they did those deals. You could argue that in order to do it though MR has sacrificed some depth of quality in the total squad. We are light imo in the second string players. I would suggest this seasons budget is bigger because the return to Coventry should give...
