    Random Telegraph Article

    The article does seem a little skewed. Ccfc can't come back unless all the parties compromise As to the figures being bandied around regarding the rugby premiership deal with CVC then I think this article provides a good summary. Exclusive: CVC set to increase revenue share in Premiership One...

    Coventry supprters club

    Clearly if the Trust isnt planning any protest (whatever your view point on that) against anyone including ccfc , wasps and sisu ........ and there are no negotiations going on for a return ................. then why should anything else that has been expressed as a reason for expulsion be...

    Coventry supprters club

    I have asked several members of the Trust Board directly about this supposed protest plan against the owners & club at the next Wasps game. Got a categorical NO such plan at the moment & "fake News" I would assume CJ could back that up There are no negotiations going on with Wasps. The new...

    Coventry supprters club

    A Fact or two There never was the remotest chance of any third party forcing CCFC out of business. It simply was not and is not possible to achieve, and something the Trust Board have been aware of for many years. The only organisation that has ever been in a position to do that is SISU...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    I would not read too much in to what the bond price is. There is not much market for the bonds and if someone wants to get rid they are going to take the hit not wasps. In the scheme of things the total transactions since may 2015 have not been many. Also for a sale to take place there must be...

    How much do we lose

    Just guessing at somewhere between 1m to 2m losses this season. You have to, for this season at least, factor in the profits on player sales. Reportedly 1m for chaplin and 2m for bayliss. That's going to be a minimum profit 2.5m in the accounts. I assume the plan is to sell players each year to...

    Response from MEP regarding SISU complaint to EU Commission

    Yes but what also happened for the olympic games is that the stadium was put on lock down for a week or perhaps two before the olympic games started so no other events could take place there in that period or during. that said looking at the dates i am not sure it is a big a problem as i...

    Response from MEP regarding SISU complaint to EU Commission

    Does this indicate making plans without CCFC on a longer term basis Coventry to get these sports at the 2022 Commonwealth Games I assume the EFL will kick off early that year also. Wasps are happy to make the venue available

    Response from MEP regarding SISU complaint to EU Commission

    they can play it but a lot of interested parties and fans simply do not believe it It is very difficult to believe given all of their business experience and £££££££'s of legal advice spent that they simply did not see how things would play out when they made the complaint in February...

    Response from MEP regarding SISU complaint to EU Commission

    Tie those responses in with what the wasps sports CEO Steve Vaughn was saying on CWR last night and it is hard to see any imminent return to the Ricoh. It is also pretty clear that wasps are setting up to continue without CCFC being there for foreseeable future. The problem is viewed by wasps as...

    Peter Crouch

    I have read it too and can thoroughly recommend it. He writes in an easy style and doesn't take himself or the football world too seriously. Found myself laughing out loud at a couple of his stories

    Bury gone

    Distribute more money from the prem and you will still have the same 72 (now 71) owners using it in the same manner and creating the same problems just with bigger numbers. Personally i am inclined on the side of why should the prem do that - quite rightly they must put their own business first...

    Owners Financials

    No specific mention no in the SISU accounts From the Otium accounts you can estimate the percentage rates. One of the loans (£6m) attract interest at 19.5% APR another £1.8m at 11.4% APR and a third £1.2m at 14.8% APR. Interest added to the debt each year so far last figure available on size of...

    Owners Financials

    not exactly. The effect is not great certainly so long as the overall fund performance is good. However if ccfc continue to make cash shortfalls and assuming sisu want to keep ccfc going then they have to top those shortfalls up with further loans. Those loans are nor secured and so far...

    Ponticelli

    The lad needs experience and conditioning that playing regular matches on the league not sitting on the bench. His current loan is doing him no favours. A League 2 or national league team would be better for his development

    Rose tinted glasses

    Early days for a totally revamped squad. Until they all bed in over a significant number of games then there will be as many downs as ups. Way too early to get upset by performance and results or indeed to get over excited. Unbeaten in the league so far that is a good start.
