According to Twitter 10 players will be playing elsewhere either on loan or permanently. This is from Robins himself apparently.i know there is reference to this on the kit launch thread, but to be more specific, anything Robins say last night of interest ?

Never read it, I did say think. Sorry sir!You were told the other day he wasn't gone
Wilks is a winger, different player to ChaplinBarnsley have just signed Mallik Wilks from Leeds, who was at Doncaster last year - so does that mean they won't be after Chaplin any more?

Didn't nobody think to ask Robins directly about Bright?
He thought that Sepalla genuinely feels that they have a case in terms of unfair state aid and will pursue it for as long as they can. He thinks that when this ends that may be the time she will choose to go. If they win the European case he can see them suing for compensation
Dave Boddy spoke to groups of fans at the end and again I thought he was very honest in what he said.
He thinks we will definitely start the season at St Andrews but that there is a possibility that we could return to the Ricoh if both sides are prepared to compromise. He didn’t say what he felt Sisu needed to move on in terms of the Ricoh, but did confirm that Wasps did want Sisu to indemnify them against the need to pay back money to the council if the EU ruling goes against them. They would need to pay Blues a get out clause if they did return.
Walsall, Leicester and West Brom we’re approached about possible groundshares but only Blues, Burton and Derby gave positive responses. Apparently there is still communication ongoing with the parties (Sisu, City, Wasps)
There is a bid in for Bright who does want to join City but the ball is very much in Wolves court.
Both himself and Robins would have sooner sacked Hickman for his indiscretions but were not allowed to do so by the authorities. He doubts he will play for the club again.
He thinks McNulty would be too expensive to return although it didn’t sound like they had even gone as far as enquiring about him so that one seems to be a non event.
He was very happy to chat and answer questions from anyone who asked for a good while after the event. He did say that he had tried to get Sisu (ie Seppala I would think) to open up and put their side of things and he was interested in how fans felt about her interview (he looked a little disappointed that the response to her interview wasn’t completely positive from those talking to him)
He was asked why, when Sisu will clearly lose a lot of money this season, do they not simply sell. He thought that Sepalla genuinely feels that they have a case in terms of unfair state aid and will pursue it for as long as they can. He thinks that when this ends that may be the time she will choose to go. If they win the European case he can see them suing for compensation. He felt previous bids simply did not meet the true value of the club with Ryton being worth seven million and the playing staff about 12 million (that would surely have to include potential sell on fees for Maddison and Wilson and even then seems inflated to me). He also felt the Club’s name and potential would add to the price.
He thought that Wasps would be losing out on about two million due to City not being at the Ricoh.
Well it is because I imagine CCFC would be a lot more valuable if attached to a stadium which I think is the ultimate goal.Great intel, thanks. Surely owning the club isn’t important in their compensation claim.?
In terms of value is it far off?
Ryton- fair.
Playing squad? All of their contracts must be worth a good few million? Let's take the average wage of a league one player at £2000 PW? 100k per year. We have a squad of about 25 at the moment? 2.5 million on contract value. Then you have the staff on top and at this moment robins is probably worth a fair wedge in compensation?
Then you add player values? Entire squad (obviously it is constantly changing) but depending on viewpoint we could have potentially very profitable team? Then as you say maddison + Wilson sell ons...
Plus the acadamy has a good track record... so adds value...
Club in my opinion is worth in region of 20 million?
Thanks for the effort into the post by the way! Very insightful and appears both robins and Boddy were very honest! Boddy has been a breath of fresh air to the whole club

He’s a breath of fresh air and has been a great appointment. As for the takeover, I’d rather have SISU in charge than Hoffman and his franchise backed bid.
Would have disagreed vehemently with that last bit a few months ago but not so sure now.
There's definitely a lot in uncomfortable with regarding Hoffman and his cronies.
If Overson genuinely left the consortium because of wasps involvement then that is definitely something people who care about the club should be worried about.
That's exactly what Joy Seppalla said in her Sky interviewIt’s crazy, isn’t it? I’d actually be far more concerned with the Hoffman lot taking over.
It does seem that a couple of visits to Wembley have made SISU aware of the need to actually invest a little more in the team and not just tread water, I think they’ve seen the potential.

Bournemouth especially, and Huddersfield pumped a relative fortune in.That's exactly what Joy Seppalla said in her Sky interview
Wasps have reached the top of their potential and are now in decline but City have the opportunity to achieve far higher returns than in rugby
It's obviously not easy to realise the aim of making the Premier League but Bournemouth, Huddersfield and Burnley are good templates for a club of our current standing
