    Strikers In Jan

    From what MR said previously there isnt much left in the budget so to bring players in could mean others leaving first. Unless it is loan players where the parent club picks up the wages (or most). The other issue is if they are not playing regularly there will be a lead time to these players...

    New Academy Manager

    I think its good that the club has acted quickly to fill the role. I wouldnt expect any great changes because of his appointment though. It is more a case of him fitting in with the academy structure and direction at CCFC not the other way round. But yes new ideas are a good thing

    Wasps current finances & hope

    Strange that something you see as a fundamental breach of terms doesn't get a mention in the 2016 Financials or the 2016 independent auditors report of any group company, but most importantly Wasps Finance PLC then (which were signed off 30 September 2016). That is the auditors who had access...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    Still dropping. That said its 9 trades so far this month with a nominal value of 225k out of a total value of £35m (0.65%) The drop seems bigger than for other bonds registered on LSE. Is there something else going on in the background? Financials should be out soon be interesting to see what...

    Coventry RFC 2019/20 season

    Thought we ought to have a new thread for the new season. CRFC have got off to a great start after losing their first match in Jersey they have won the next two and sit second in the table. Early days but looks like they will be competing at the right end of the table this season. Not...

    Some good news

    Some good news

    exchanged contracts subject to planning permission guess that all but puts to bed any move back to London area............... assuming it happens not been good at seeing things through so far. Planning permission should not be an issue, the site is sufficiently away from Henley in Arden and it...

    WASPS on the move?

    Just going off their academy twitter page and other things really. They have academy fixtures in Coventry (KHV111 playing fields) and Oxford, they also employ staff at both sites (job advert for academy physio based at Broadstreet in May this year) and a coach at Oxford at around the same date...

    WASPS on the move?

    Actually because of how they allocate the areas to the premiership teams the wasps academy operates both in Coventry and Oxford. The Oxford site deals with the southern part of the area wasps have. Broad street covers Warwickshire. I think there might be a third site too. The rumour ? Sorry but...

    England to walk off pitch if racism happens in the stands

    It should not be down to one team, England or anyone else. to make the stand by walking off, it has to be down to the governing bodies making the stand. There are FIFA & UEFA representatives at each of these games, who must see or hear what is going on (that is why they are there). If the UEFA...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    Yes the Prospectus says 2016. However you would have to expect that the directors had permission from the bond trustees not to do a formal valuation in 2016, that the permission was documented as were the reasons, the assumptions, calculations and criteria for the directors decision, that the...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    Yes I know that, but that wasnt the lease valuation that was reported late or in breach of any covenant The 2017 lease valuation was dated 31/03/2017 and reported mid April 2017. There is no requirement in the prospectus to publish that valuation on the LSE that i can see. (Indeed to do so may...

    Match Thread Coventry City vs. Tranmere Rovers Match Thread - Sunday 13th Oct

    I was disappointed by this result. It is like deja vue for CCFC. Tranmere worked hard but lets be honest they are not that good. But fair play to them they dug in, were organised, fought hard, rode their luck and were ruthless in front of goal when they got the chance. But despite their grit ,19...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    Could they mess up and fold of course its possible but it is not what I am saying I still do not think it is likely. Do they have financial problems yes, but that doesn't make those problems unsolvable Just as I credit sisu with having a plan, then so too wasps. Things have not gone exactly to...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    Dont think the last valuation was reported at LSE or in national financial news was it ? Only in the CT was there an article The value is still above the original bond offer valuation and therefore I assume any covenant on the bonds relating to lease value. Still 1.4 times the bond debt If...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    Ooops indeed The previous valuation for the long lease was 60m so it is a drop of 9m The long term borrowing includes what is owed to the owner. Still due but I dont think it is secured on the lease. The trend was up at june 2018 but showed a small drop by December 2018. Will be...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    I think from day one they were always going to refinance to repay the bond. If they were making the sort of profits after tax to save for the repayment they would not have needed the bond in the first place . Frankly any emphasis on "they haven't got the money to repay" fails to understand how...
