imaginative ideas then of course you have to deal with the practicalities. some of which are - who is setting up the organisation? - who funds it - what powers will it have and how does it enforce them - who regulates the organisation? - how do you make it binding on all clubs? Rule changes in...

The company with the deal at the Ricoh is Otium t/a CCFC so any additional income would be the clubs. Remains to be seen whether SISU would have the cashflow available in Otium to be able to withdraw anything

It is a nice idea but I really don't see how English football gets to it. None or very very few of the current owners are going to give up the value they have in the 51%+ that they currently control. Partly because that value largely underpins the sums that they have put in to most clubs. I...

Questions The term budget is bandied around but what is the actual spend? How do actual spends compare? We have second lowest aiming for fourth lowest but what is the difference between our budget and say the next say 6 clubs? Is it huge figures or is it a few hundred thousand.? If you look...

Just had a quick look for clubs detailing their turnover in Championship in their financials for example Millwall 2020 financials Match income 4.4m Central distributions 9.3m Commercial 2.7m TOTAL 16.4m (they had wages 18.9m and made 9m loss) Preston 2020 match 2.9m Central 7m other 1.1...

not in one season it wont, but the Championship model has always implied that clubs must invest (borrow usually) millions each and every year to maintain that position even at the lowest levels. Clearly SISU dont make interest free loans (interest over 10%), they have to get the money from...

Couple of things - because of the way that the notes declaration works the average number of stewards would be based on the total number of stewards registered as employed by the company whether or not they were actually paid each month. Clearly in 2019 the club had not deregistered most of the...

Really not convinced that our owners are of a mindset to pump millions in to the playing side on the high risk strategy that it would move us up the table or get us promoted. Yes they specialise in losses and risks but i think their focus is now taking risks on young players they bring in...

For me what is wrong is that people take an estimate or best guess of the "budget" then apply it to an absolute of league position. That enables comments of over achievement or excuses of what did you expect. The reality is the budget though a big part of it is still only part. Player...

Terrible, selfish, egotistical idea that will seriously hamper the National teams, the 86 remaining teams, non league and grassroots football. I think however the response to this ESL is wrong. It focusses on legacy and history, it isn't going to be heard by the 12 teams involved so far. They...

Having slept on it I think i would rate individual players probably on the lower side compared to some. It was a decent team performance and that is what got us the result in reality. Rotherham were poor on the night, probably had 15 to 20 minutes leading up to half time where they put us...

Comparing law with regulations doesn't really work though. Efl is governed by company law in so far as submission of accounts. So can legitimately delay until 30/06 The clubs are governed by company law and efl regulations. The law says they don't need to submit yet. The regulations say that...

Nothing to see as far as ccfc are concerned. Companies House have amended their rules, which they can do quite easily. The EFL has a set of regulations that can only be changed by its members approval in AGM or EGM. CCFC have chosen to take advantage of the Companies House temporary change...

I hope that we pressure Bristol from the get go. Get the opposition to make mistakes in their half of the pitch. As a team we need to press higher up the pitch. I will be worried if he starts with Da Costa as wing back. Godden I hope is not the only striker Bristol won't have a lot of...

If he goes with Da Costa at wing back then I think we will be in trouble. He hasn't a clue how to defend and that puts pressure on the rest of the defense who struggle with silly mistakes in the first place.

Just read what MR said about the game. All seemed a bit muddled to me in parts. Pretty much like the team on the day. We didn't play 2 up front" because we would get passed off the park" sorry but first half we were passed off the park. Walker and Gyokeres "made a difference " well yes and as...

They will just adjust the budget and spend less. Done it before when things were no where near as stable. Players will be moved on, fees taken in, no major player purchases and reductions in payroll. Which likely mean hanging around in L1. The fans will be there and in more numbers than went...

It is not just a team that has to develop and be open to new ideas on promotion. The same I think can be said of managers. If we stay up, I still think we will but it will be touch and go until the end, I think MR has to take a long hard look at what he has done this season. He needs to go...

I expected us to struggle. I didn't expect lack of passion and organisation Gave him credit for the promotions but that only lasts so long. I would give him credit this season even if we got relegated if I thought he had adapted, was clear in his thinking, reacted to the changes,

Not playing at home hasn't stopped the promotions has it ? All teams get injuries What worries me is that he doesn't adapt things well, gets stuck in a rut expecting something that repeatedly fails to work next time. It is a tough gig but this is very much his team and the direction he...
