He saw fit to lie about it to Pete and claim it wasn’t done purely because of cash flow problems
Was that 100% down to him as i said he had others breathing down his neck and the would be Hyam replacement didn’t happen. I’m not saying he’s the bees knees but he had a number of difficult situations to work with.
fisher was a pretty peripheral figure anyway. He’s mostly doing this
Why is Boddy not connected to SISU but Fisher is?Had a thankless job though, had hardly any staff not sure if he even had an office half the time, had to put up with Fisher and sisu breathing down his neck and then there were the Wasp lot, that Wasp ceo was as big a prick as Fisher not to mention the move to St. Andrews, can’t have been easy.

The whole commercial operation is a disaster. Wherever he goes it’s a train wreck
His CV before coming here was that of a rank amateur and he’s done nothing since to suggest otherwise. He represents the lower league mentality still rife at the club in the non footballing department
Admit he has a let’s say an iffy background, a disaster at Worcester and I’m not saying we can’t do better than him but in fairness it must have been difficult for anyone working for sisu and with Wasps in the backgroundThe whole commercial operation is a disaster.

Unless King is prepared to do hands on negotiating it’s absurd to believe Boddy is capable of negotiating the FG lease
The best ever 10 year lease with wasps was worthless and his best in class 10 year lease at Newport May make the homeless soon

I think Boddy was offered the job as an easy yes man to manipulate - he's in a job above his level so he's hardly going to be issuing ultimatums
Sisu would have made that decision based on cashflow at the time, the pitch costs and the fact they didnt want to put real cash in. Are you suggesting he made all the financial decisionsNot a Championship CEO and in particular the embarrassing whoring out of Hyam on the cheap should have been the final straw.

Fisher was clearly a slick and slimy figure but also clearly not an idiot. Boddy is a League 2 at best chancer who by pure luck has found himself running a second tier club.
We need rid
SISU told him they refused or couldn’t provide anything extra to help the cash flow problem, so he had to sort it himself. How he went about that was up to him and he chose to phone Blackburn, who wanted Hyam earlier in the window, to offer the player at a basement price if it were paid all in one go.
£1.4 million
Me tooI’d consider it a triumph this month if Gyo and Hamer are retained, a few unwanted players are moved on and a few more first team players join.
Wasn’t just me it was every supporters group at the supporters forum I was just the one making the notes and shared them in full with our forumHe saw fit to lie about it to Pete and claim it wasn’t done purely because of cash flow problems
Of course I want the club to be profitable and healthy, but I personally don’t care if a multi-millionaire loses money because he temporarily makes the club more accessible to ordinary fans.People on social media wanting ticket prices slashed etc to try and get "stayaways" to the games. Why? How did that work for Wasps?
I hope King comes in and maximises every revenue stream we have.

It would be the club losing money.
If it's a case of reducing prices but ensuring that more people are through the doors then happy days. There has to be an uptake of people.

What if he offers every City fan a free pint, as some have suggested? Are you going to run around the concourse frantically telling people to stop costing the club F&B revenue?
The only way the club loses money on a reduced ticket from the standard price is if the cost of providing the seat is not already absorbed
They would need to refund everybody who had paid the standard price also.
I don't get that, it loses no money if a cheaper ticket attracts somebody who wouldn't have otherwise attended. I think the average gate is already pretty much at its ceiling so anything on top is a bonus.
One thing, of many, the club is piss poor at is contacting people who no longer go. I've gone from being a season ticket holder to not being able to attend games. Not one call too see why or an offer of a cheap / free ticketThe whole commercial operation is a disaster. Wherever he goes it’s a train wreck
He owns CCFC now, he can absorb the costs if he wants to. If you want him to make as much money as possible out of it - even if it comes at fans’ expense - then that’s fine, but it’s not my priority.If he's paying out of his wallet on his card then fair enough.
We are on about CCFC ticket prices though?
Why? The person made the choice to pay at that price
