    Government white paper

    Not sure the issues are really being dealt with. the real issue is the sustainability of the clubs not whether fans get a seat on the board I do think more meaningful involvement with the supporters is important. Not a tick box exercise, and certainly more than the talking shop that most clubs...

    Wasps downward spiral...

    Hoffman is still chairperson of CBS CBS is effectively a public company and Hoffman would not be allowed to take part in any negotiations loan or otherwise because of his previous involvement with the stadium. As far as I know CBS have a maximum loan available for any borrower of £2m More...

    Boddy

    In terms of next seasons ambitions, i have a feeling that Boddy got the emphasis in what he said wrong What he should have said is probably more like " first we need to make sure we stay in the Championship but of course we want to push on from this season, build and to finish higher is the aim "

    Boddy

    I am confused by this comment from Boddy - CCFC have a 10 year agreement to be at the stadium why would you want to "own" the retail premises for longer than that if you have no right to be elsewhere in the stadium if lease not renewed - the intention is to move to our own stadium (at least 10...

    This Summer

    Just some thoughts £130m plus commercial opportunities ? Sounds a lot, and to us (club or fans) it is. Had a quick look at a couple of the "smaller" or yoyo clubs and the feel i get from their published accounts( Norwich, Burnley etc) is all obviously complete guess work TV probably around...

    Match Thread Bournemouth (H) Easter Monday

    Thought though we were still in it in the first half reality kicked in even after the first goal and we lacked our usual fluidity. Too many players seem a little leggy and were mentally tired. Bournemouth are a good team in this division but a fair distance off the division above in terms of...

    Joy

    I think when it got really bad she was probably advised not to attend to be fair to her To think this builds bridges to the majority of supporters is tenuous at best. Would have more sympathy if it was a very regular event but I don't believe it is. She is identified as the owner, she should...

    New UEFA limitations on Club spending from 23/24

    All heavily focussed on European competition it would seem to me Haven't really seen the detailed regs on this but based on CCFC 2021 financials the following seems to be the result Turnover 11.8m so 70% is 8.26m (Fulham £119m at 70% 81.2m) Wages 13.1m (Fulham 113m) player purchases (inc...

    Robins interview

    My own view is that the return was essential for finance reasons to both parties pure and simple wasps needed the return of CCFC because of - the increase in value to the stadium it would create - the increase in turnover it created to benefit the deal with Delaware North - to be able to get...

    In what scenario would SISU sell?

    Unless there is a big offer put in then I don't see SISU selling up any time soon. SISU are duty bound to consider any offer as part of managing their clients funds but unless it is substantial and largely upfront i think the reply would be pretty quick & negative. In fact not struggling in the...

    Robins interview

    I would guess that adding 1000 season tickets to the total would add around £330k net of VAT a decrease in numbers of 1000 would be a loss of £330k with the rise in living costs and other uncertainties i am not sure i see an increase in ST numbers being achieved total season ticket sales this...

    Swiss Ramble - Twitter

    Wages exceeded turnover in 20/21. Turnover £11.8m to £13.2m wages. In 2019 /20 it was turnover £ 5.1 to wages £6.5m Player sales covered the gap. Running at a turnover deficit means player sales essential You would reasonably expect wages to have grown again this season together increases in...

    Match Thread Derby Match Thread

    Probably needs must given what we have available but I really don't see much strength or leadership in that team selection. Also Probably going to prove me wrong and win but right now I am thinking we will lose 2 nil.

    Penalty Shouts last Night

    The Hull number 10 for every corner had both arms around Gyokeres stopping him moving, sometimes pulling him down. Anywhere else on the pitch that's a foul but not in the penalty box. The ref and his assistant should not have failed to see it, Gyokeres repeatedly told them it was happening...

    Perhaps the best team performance I have seen this season, certainly one of the most satisfying. Players that stood out for me JCS was solid, not going to be beaten composed and decent distribution. Too often Sheffield forwards bully our defence, definitely not this time Allen. Was full of...

    Notes from Supporters Forum

    Thanks for the update Pete. My own feeling is it is a waste of time asking Boddy about anything other than match day experience questions. He isnt going to tell you, is going to dress it up as best he can to put the owners in a positive light with the same old spin. The guy has little real...
