    CCFC 2018/2019 Accounts Thread!

    My brief comments are Good to see the finances looking better however it is entirely based on significant transfer sale money. Can that be achieved every year ? 2019/20 will show significant transfer income so those results should be reasonable too except for a likely downturn in turnover...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Sunderland Match Thread - Sunday 1st Mar

    2 : 1 win with Sunderland scoring last to give us a nervy last ten minutes Above all though don't lose. If we win the game(s) in hand and match Rotherham and Sunderland results in the run in its job done I think Pusb

    Old Accounts Thread

    Can only guess but total income from the game could be £250k even a bit more but most of that would be ticket based (historically match income has worked out at between £10 and £11 per ticket over a season - after you account for concessions, ST's and exclude VAT). Wasps would earn from the...

    Trust Statement

    From that it would seem you know more than you are prepared to let on Strangely if that was a rental bond i dont find that unusual Yes everyone knows the complaint was against CCC and the remedy if CCC loses is? What did wasps indemnify CCC for - you tell us Why did CCC need an indemnity...

    Nothing to keep us there anymore

    The EU rules suggest that formal preliminary notification can take up to 2 months. Given the speed EU works it wouldn't surprise me, if the complaint was made end of February 2019, that notification to the council & SISU only came in at end of April 2019. Talks between CCFC and wasps started...

    Trust Statement

    Just a few thoughts on the indemnity, which is clearly the thing blocking the CCFC return to the Ricoh. All sides need their heads banging together several times quite frankly. You see for me it all raises lots of questions, and i am fed up of CCFC being used as a punch bag by each and every...

    Sam McCallum upfront fee revealed

    No surprise that the full fee was not paid up front. In actual fact given the timing of the deal it probably suits CCFC for it to be deferred..... just a thought but here is perhaps some reasons why (yes it is conjecture in parts) Part of the deal is the loan back for the rest of the season. If...

    Training Ground

    other than the boost it will give the players which at this time of the year which is a definite plus, it doesn't change much. But whats not to approve about it It wont have cost that much, changes nothing in terms of club value or owners plans for the site, but the boost it gives the players...

    EU procedure update

    Not the way i read it. It is deadlines two months from registration of the complaint. - we are well past that and as far as we know the process continues.

    EU procedure update

    I wouldnt hold on to the 12 mth deadline it is only indicative. This is what the EU's code of best practice says Indicative time frame and outcome of the investigation of a formal complaint 71.

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Portsmouth Match Thread - Tuesday 11th Feb

    I think the two results against Pompey are probably the two most significant results of the season so far. The result away losing with 9 men with time running out then coming back to get a point gave the squad some inner strength and belief that when the going gets tough they can get through it...

    Indemnity and all that

    You wouldn't think so would you. If the lawyers made a mistake that wasn't spotted then wasps would have a claim against them on their PI insurance. Kind of beggars belief given the history that the lawyers were not extra careful protecting wasps interests All sides had access to expensive...

    Could be the death of us.

    could be the death of us? we sit 4th in the table, in a league that is inconsistent and generally poor standard, we have started to find the back of the net more regularly. Not sure i share the concern when everyone else seems so inconsistent. Put together groups of wins like just recently add...
