I don't expect us to be taken over by Wasps. Nor do I want us to be taken over by Wasps. I say that for the following two reasons: 1. I believe Wasps are going to be in serious financial difficulties after they have spunked all their bond money on player acquisitions, new academy facilities...

It was reported by the Cov Telegraph who made their own enquiries. Plus I heard this from one other non-media source.

First, you are wrong. It happens all the time. Players (and managers) are always getting tapped up before the buying club makes an "official approach" to the club that holds the player's registration. Second, TM went to Rotherham to have a chat with the owner. Whether you or the two clubs want...

Over the next 4 years SISU will further cut costs, attendances will drop to 7,000, and we will be lucky to survive in L1. TF and CA will be long gone in 4 years time but Joy will still be running things in the background. In year 5 or 6, Wasps will find themselves in financial meltdown and the...

Yes Wasps may take out another bond when it comes time to repay. However, if Wasps can't repay a big chunk of the original bond, then the interest costs are going to be very high on the next bond due to the high default risk. Ultimately Wasps are going to have to make big profits at some point...

TM signed his contract on condition that he alone was in charge of footballing matters including player trading. That all changed once CA arrived. I would be disappointed if TM left but I wouldn't blame him after the way he has been treated.

I agree with Duffer that Wasps could have serious financial problems when the 35m bond becomes due for repayment. They made losses of 6m in the most recent financial year proving that ACL is far from a goldmine. Yes, ACL delivers a lot of revenues but it also has a lot of costs. Added to which...

Several weeks ago I said that TM would be looking to leave the club this Summer due to interference from CA on player trading decisions. Looks like I was right after all.

KC said we had a very good striker lined up for a loan position but selling JM and then taking him back on loan meant that we couldn't get the striker in on loan. KC wouldn't say who the striker was but did say that he would have got plenty of goals for us once AA stopped scoring.

Very interesting show particularly the inside insights of KC who confirmed that our slump in form was mainly due to the sale of JM,

We could have called it progress this season had it not been for the fact that our better players, such as Fleck and Arma, won't be here next season. If we don't get some really good players in the Summer next season could be a struggle. Let's hope we are aiming for better than the likes of...

How can anyone automatically believe what SISU say about the budget or anything else for that matter, after all the nonsense that SISU came out with over the new stadium? It's truly amazing how gullible some of our fans are. SISU can't even estimate the break-even crowd figure properly...

Oh no...you've really done it now. Grendel will be calling you a council stooge every time you post from now on. Or maybe he'll apologize? Is that a flying pig I see?

The club should have been able to accurately estimate the break even figure as it has historical data on the composition of discounted vs full price tickets and it should have budgeted for ticket giveaways and special offers. To be off by such a large margin is gross incompetence. On the other...

On current form we are nailed on certainties for relegation to Div 4 next season. I don't think it's any exaggeration to say that that is equivalent to staring at the abyss.

A nice nod to George Orwell there.:claping hands:

Maddison never asked for a transfer. CA started trying to sell JM even before Xmas which was. going against TM's advice and JM was happy to stay too because he thought that CCFC would be good for his development.

But that would require the lazy twonts to do some actual work rather than banging out 200 words of drivel every day.

It's pretty pathetic that we can't buy tickets online using an iphone or ipad. This is the 21st century for goodness sake. In addition, some people don't have computers at home (e.g., old folks). There ought to be some ticket machines at the Ricoh just as there are for cinema tickets. The...

We ought to be handing out 5 year contracts on low wages before these kids get a sniff of being in the U21s. As usual the club leaves it too late and then we lose out as the uncontracted players are free to sign for someone else. If we had them on long term contacts at say 2k per month, the club...
