I'm pretty sure a study said that the post-war generation were the best generation to be in terms of financial improvement as they have had the NHS, the sell off of council houses and the most generous state/private pensions and assistance package than any other generation before. Future generations will be much worse off and are likely to have much worse job security and pay.AND A LOT AREN'T, LIKE ME. Btw there's nothing free re: bus passes, prescriptions etc, like countless others I've worked since I was 16 until well over retirement age (yes aren't I lucky I kept down a job(s) for such a long time) and paid my taxes (and still paying tax on my modest private pension I might add) and National Insurance so I reckon northwards of 50 years I've paid my bit, I'm no scrounger, I'm no money bags old c**t who wants everything that's going for sweet fa.
Wait till you're my age and see whether you still feel the way you do now.
I reckon I was brought up in the wrong era because when I was young I didn't have any rights and now I'm old I still don't have any.
Look at the discounts offered to students, have you got any opinions on that? Tax credits, child benefits, income support, housing benefits the list is endless, you telling me that those people are loaded and don't need help?
And don't get me started on how we treat those that have served this country and have fallen on hard times.
Boy, I wouldn't want to live in your world.
Avoided the false round tooat least they only had one defensive disaster!
Bit too soon to be joking about that farce on Saturdayat least they only had one defensive disaster!
It's going to be a hard sell to massively increase prices during a cost of living crisis and possible recession. Especially if our best players are being sold and we have an uncertain summer rebuild ahead of us.Tickets will go up anyway
can see it being £500 for an adult ST next year, all prices will jump up too
Probably a flat rate of about £28 a game for on the day aswell
Either way I cant see us matching this years record sales. I'm 80% certain I wont renew next year, I'm struggling to justify it in the current economic climate. Me and the kids with ST's and shirts next year probably looking at £700 plus and thats not a small amount to bang on a credit card
Remember all that at the next General Election.I'm pretty sure a study said that the post-war generation were the best generation to be in terms of financial improvement as they have had the NHS, the sell off of council houses and the most generous state/private pensions and assistance package than any other generation before. Future generations will be much worse off and are likely to have much worse job security and pay.
Of course many will have spent a lifetime working and paying in, but many people now will also pay in for many years and not see half of those benefits, and those they do receive they'll have to wait longer for.

Surely there has to be a point where the game turns round and tells players their pay levels are unaffordable. I like the fact that it's an industry where the workers take home a significant amount of the revenue generated, but a lot of clubs below PL are spending more than comes in and something has to give.
I don't want something as draconian as a salary cap but more has to be done to get salaries more in line with revenues.
I don't know why people expect us to be the cheapest in the league for everything but also give the manager a decent budget to work with.Football season tickets in this league aren’t expensive at all - even £500 is just over £20 a game. It’s £23 to watch CRFC
this delusion Coventry people need cheaper and freebies has to stop

Season ticket prices seem to have hardly increased going back years now. Just looked up 10 years ago. They were £276 in the family zone, £345 in standard and £391 in premium. Even if the only increase was inflation they'd be over £500 now.

Worrying that Robins has said the wage bill won’t go up under King because it’s got to match turnover. Feels like that’s what’s really holding us back.
Fair enough. I think £20-£25 a game is reasonable. Up to £30 as long as the club say they're aiming to push towards play-offs promotion. £33 for Cat A games this year is too high IMO.Football season tickets in this league aren’t expensive at all - even £500 is just over £20 a game.

How would you feel about PRP - performance related pricing? Charge high but offer discounts for future years if those targets aren't met.

If (and its a big if) he stays fit he will be a very good championship central midfielder in a year or twoWhy the fuck have we signed Eccles till 2027?
1) He isn’t good enough for the position he plays in so gets played out of position.
2) He isn’t suited to playing in the position he plays for us
3) He’s injured every season

Because he is a talented player, who after a few matches played really well out of position and has the potential to be a good quality midfielder in the Championship. Of course the issue is his injury record but presumably the club believe that will improve. They know more than we do about that.Why the fuck have we signed Eccles till 2027?

Right now we have no back up strikers so id argue we need him in the squadInterestingly, Walker looks to be in training.
Need him gone.
Yep get rid of Vik, Calls, Sheafy and GusMassive clear needed on Sky Blues Talk.
What do you think?
A lot of that generation had pensions which they had paid for raided by companies and a Labour chancellor, their state pension was paid for every week with their stamp money again stolen by government, still is.I'm pretty sure a study said that the post-war generation were the best generation to be in terms of financial improvement as they have had the NHS, the sell off of council houses and the most generous state/private pensions and assistance package than any other generation before.

Waghorn and Walker are apparently being offered new contracts! Mental!

And many also had final salary pensions where the benefits they received bore no relation to what they had paid in.A lot of that generation had pensions which they had paid for raided by companies and a Labour chancellor, their state pension was paid for every week with their stamp money again stolen by government, still is.
