    Left side vs right side

    From the reactions of too many posters the attitude appears to be that the sooner we ban all singing and frivolity from the ground the better - stop the Sky Blue song, stop the left side/right side song, ban the drum etc etc - for gods sake lighten up and lets all have some fun, we have had...

    badge memento

    The guys who work hard producing and selling Twist and Shout fanzine also sell badges but they were banned from being near the ground by the club. Now Justin Tose has gone maybe the club will look again at this serious competitive threat to their finances! ;)

    ROD's contract cancelled!

    He won't be missed - was never good enough at Championship level or even Div 1. I would guess Div 2 or the Borough would be about the right level. No doubting his enthusiasm but simply not talented enough.

    Waggot - We will only get £67,500 from JPT Ticket Sales

    I have no particular love for SISU simply because I feel they have made an appalling job of running the club I love, but to be fair no worse than all the previous owners over the past 25 years. It is a fact that they have lost millions by getting themselves involved with the club and making a...

    Waggot - We will only get £67,500 from JPT Ticket Sales

    Wish people would stop going on about SISU putting money in their back pocket etc - at the end of the day this club is losing money every month even without paying rent so any money made will simply lessen the amount SISU have to put in to keep us going for another month. The statement from...

    Jason Scotland - Free Agent

    And it does stand too high - that is why the club is losing millions every season. But as I tried to explain its the overall figure that is important and if we can recruit better players whilst still lowering the overall wage bill then so much the better - is that so hard a concept to grasp?

    Jason Scotland - Free Agent

    Again Fernando please learn to read - the key word is "overall" ie the total wage bill. Let me explain it in simple terms to you: if we let some surplus (unwanted) players go and save money on the wage bill that lowers the wage bill, which is a good thing. If we recruit a player who would...

    Jason Scotland - Free Agent

    Oh Fernando please learn to read "Could we afford his wages?" might be a bit of a clue that I still think overall wages are a problem - still don't let the facts get in the way of your petty prejudices eh? ;)

    Jason Scotland - Free Agent

    Ipswich and Jason Scotland have parted company and he is now a free agent. Could he do a job for us? He is 33 but would give us a different option. Could we afford his wages? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21123837

    Just how I read the article and not just the single line. As for poor old Robinson maybe he can find another rich Belgian widow to befriend who will give him the money

    As I read the article in the CT the council officers statement was given to Councillors before the vote on the financial restructuring so before the lower loan payments CCFC rent was critical now the lower payments are "alleviating ACL’s dependency on rent from Sky Blues" So in summary before...

    Wood to Wolves?

    This football club has to get on a proper financial footing, sorting out the rent was a start but trimming the playing staff wage bill is even more important. We have four players on very lucrative contract - Bell, Baker, Sheff and Wood. These contracts are totally out of keeping with our income...

    Can ACL survive without CCFC as tenants? They are much more likely to survive without CCFC today than they were before the loan restructuring. Could they? Possibly but it would need some restructuring, rebuilding etc but now financially it would be possible - at present under FL rules they...
