It's more comical than interesting.

Indeed. If that's his main position I think it's probably a sign Kelly hasn't accepted his new deal.

Haven't got a clue. Currently waiting on a response from a mate who's an avid Chesterfield fan to get his thoughts. If it's Hamer's replacement I'll be giving my platinum seats away for free.

Yeah they don't seem to realise that going from no financial regulation to financial regulation is an issue. Not surprising given the level of intellect on their forum. Funnily enough is when you have the playing budget of a top 6 L1 club and according to the SCMP rules L2 clubs can only spend...

Their fans are pretty clueless by large. One stated he didn't think they should accept anything below £5m. I'd imagine the fee is well into the six figure mark but it won't be anywhere near £1m.

I'm not saying they were. I'm more highlighting that when you look at the bigger picture it's a bit of a myth to suggest their cost was minimal when collectively they were all under contract at some point which would've been problematic for the club. I think from memory we also paid fees for...

As mentioned they weren't really all that cheap collectively. Granted Hamer was a huge success but the remainder of the signings were a car crash (granted Jobello was unlucky with injuries) and would've together put a dent in the club's budget and as such its ability to manoeuvre in the transfer...

Hmm, not sure I agree. DaCosta, Hilssner, Jobello, Kastaneer's wages collectively wouldn't have been that cheap. I think at one point we had all four on the books with them making zero contribution to the first team. Not ideal to be in that situation when the budget is already spread thin.

As stated, the reluctance to offer what really isn't exactly a sizeable wage for the Championship likely proves my theory that the budget isn't going to increase by much this season. DK clearly wants to build a sustainable model whereby the overheads are more or less covered by...

I'm paraphrasing but I'm pretty sure Robins has mentioned previously that he was changing his stance on the European market because other than Hamer the strategy just wasn't working. Clearly he has more faith in Dean Austin than he did in Badlan to get it right.

Rooms are rubbish and the package in reality is pretty dire.

Yes we were given exclusivity. We'll have to see what the waiting list brings in terms of intake. The only issue is, as mentioned the vast majority would've likely been on there under the premise that the previous prices were going to be more or less in place. As such I'd assume there's been a...

This is what I don't really understand about his decision making. Fair enough if he had better calibre of corporate partners lined up to fill the boxes but he quite clearly doesn't. Why then try to alienate his existing customer base when quite clearly he's relying on them to renew for the...

Hmm I'd take that list with a pinch of salt. Most of these businesses to my knowledge don't have HQs in C&W, it's likely they just have a site/office in the area. So really most aren't relevant other than those we've already discussed. Still would be worth an approach I'm sure. Medium sized...

In the grand scheme of things the area isn't brilliant for business really. Most major companies that are situated within the area are located here simply due to geographical/strategic location. Therefore it's unlikely that they have anything really to do with the region other than from perhaps...

That categorically will be the case I'm sure. As stated, now is the time to make an approach now SISU have gone. But again, as stated, the approach fundamentally needs to be right.

There isn't any reason to not approach them. I've said in previous posts there's definitely scope to collaborate with the larger enterprises within the region and the club should try again. But the packages need to be bespoke and tailored to each company's objectives as I think the previous...

Not sure why you're getting defensive? I understand and accept your point about onboarding in the context of large businesses but doesn't change the fact that said larger enterprises within the region haven't aligned themselves with the club previously for various reasons - and I personally...

Repeating the same nonsense doesn't make it fact.

Yes and that's wonderful but we're talking about SMEs here. How many FTSE 100s are going to be lining up to purchase a box at CCFC? Respectfully, and as I said, you're reaching.
