I think you have it spot on here

Nick I honestly don't know. All I would suggest is that "if" SISU cannot get an agreement and elect to downgrade then they have a scapegoat, but on the flip side it will then give them less cash outflow commitments and probably more choices they still have the core staff to deliver the same...

I fully agree that we benefit from the Academy in terms of players out. But the Category requirements determine the investment in and minimum requirements in terms of facilities and full time staff so pound notes spent that cannot be spent else where. A category 3 academy does not require the...

One alternative point of view is that SISU can opt to change the academy from cat 2 to cat 3 and reduce their cost base (which may be a requirement anyway). Each level sets out a minimum requirement in terms of facilities, staff and even the minimum number of hours of coaching that should be...

There is an agreement in place so currently there is no change to the status of the Academy. If I was CSF I would not make any statements promising an open ended agreement with any party until there was a commitment to seriously discuss a mid to long term commitment. Having just seen the post...

With all this hysteria about us losing our cat 2 academy has anyone considered that in order to run a cat 2 academy have any of you actually considered what is required? Looking at the plans there will be 4 grass full size pitches and one full size artificial pitch (floodlight) and the current...

So...... we need 14K to break even in League 1. So we propose to build a 15k stadium to fund us to get there? Mmmm.... So in order to build this stadium someone will have to fund it. But not the club as we cant afford it. Mmmmm...... So lets get someone else to fund it! So who pays for it...

Falling on you sword usually implies taking responsibility for your actions and some sort of self sacrifice to atone...... don't see that here

Nothing "unfortunate" about it. Total incompetence and arrogance on SISU's part.

The old adage is that "the table never lies" we are exactly where the squad deserves to be over the season so 13th is as good as we are. Everything else is subjective. All clubs are capable of a string of results over a short period which is what we have achieved (probably an improvement on...

OSB some good points well made. On the playing side we have definitely made progress. last season we avoided relegation on the last day of the season. Today with half a dozen games left we are safe and have an outside chance of making the payoffs. At the start of the season I hoped that on...

So on your thinking Alex Ferguson would have been sacked by Man Utd before becoming probably the most successful and respected manager in the modern era. Think again.

I believe with Rolf Harris and Stuart Hall they had to be sentenced within the Law as to stood at the time the offences were committed, so probably applying 1970's and 1980's legislation rather than 2015

What?? This is all about Intent, continual grooming her knowing full well her age, no remorse and then not pleading guilty. Thats why its six years. judge deems it all premeditated and calculating.

Fantastic player way ahead of his time on and off the field. Even forced Adidas to give him a kit with only 2 stripes with the rest of the Dutch team having three

It really makes me wonder how and why people now argue that the RICOH was sold on the cheap and at a knock down price. At the time of the deal Fisher's widely reported position was as below (taken from the Guardian in Dec 2014.) "City’s chief executive, Tim Fisher, insists they do not regret...

The academy is the sole responsibility of CCFC and the custodians of CCFC, No one else's. If it is as important to the club as we are lead to believe then it is down to CCFC to ensure that all steps are taken to protect this vital asset. Irrespective of any discussions, secret or otherwise...

Even if CCFC's share of the £456k is much less that £200K it will probably still cover the rent of the stadium and some of the match day costs.
