Yea but isn't it their job to sort this crap out.All I'm saying is we need to see the accounts, we don't even know how much maddison actually went for, or what the income/costs were in comparison to the previous year in which we incurred c£2m losses.

I repeat... Why are we being told CCFC are self sufficient and have been for the last 18 months/2 years?No ones saying it is fact. The evidence from the accounts from previous player sales suggests it would be going towards operating costs (which include servicing debts). You're the one who keeps suggesting that its fact that it is all getting taken out by sisu.

They have all been away games haven't they? How much are the club earning from those games?Don't you realise your lack of monetary investment in SISU FC...errr sorry, CCFC makes YOU look as bad as what YOU think I am!..... Fucking irony or what!!!!!!!!

Say it is genuine and we needed the Maddison money to cover costs, for arguments sake say it is £1.5 million up front. We really are in the shitter going forward if we were £1.5 million over budget after it being forecast that we needed 11,000 attendance to sustain our budget.
Dear god, you don't get it do you, you really are beyond help.Don't you realise your lack of monetary investment in SISU FC...errr sorry, CCFC makes YOU look as bad as what YOU think I am!..... Fucking irony or what!!!!!!!!
Is that reason that Rotherham didn't want them?Trust in TM and MV. They are fully aware of the finances and have stayed at CCFC for a reason. If they sold Vincalot it is because they have a backup plan which will improve the first team squad.
Do you mean SISU fc don't get a cut of the gate moneyThey have all been away games haven't they? How much are the club earning from those games?
From where I'm standing, I think it's YOU that doesn't get it Nomark.Dear god, you don't get it do you, you really are beyond help.

There Is aside of financial reasons every possibility of a change in formation.Think this confirms a move to the 3-4-3 formation for me. Vincelot doesn't really fit it imo
We won't know until the accounts come through.I repeat... Why are we being told CCFC are self sufficient and have been for the last 18 months/2 years?
I think you missed the point I was making anyway.Are you really that surprised that a 3rd division club, especially one in our predicament, has to use transfer receipts to help cover running costs? We only turnover £7 million a year ffs.
Are you also forgetting the 400k we paid for Jones? I would love it if they'd have a punt, but if the club does need to be self-sufficient then thsee sort of deals are to expected unfortunately.

If the people misjudged it so badly that we were £1 million short after previously saying 11,000 attendances would provide enough revenue then we really are fucked going forward.
Don't want us to risk taking a punt, have no problem with trying to be self sufficient. If we can be self sufficient, then great I won't have to worry about our financial future ever again. But the people in charge are not delivering on there promise of self sufficiency.
In the last accounts we lost £2 million, this was despite returning to the Ricoh and selling Wilson for £2.5 million and cutting wages, that isn't self sufficiency. The previous season we were told we needed 11,000 to sustain our budget and other spin like we are cash flow positive for the first time in year, then we sell Maddison for a large fee and told it is needed to cover losses as we were over budget, that isn't being self sufficient.
Relying on selling a player for £2-3 million every year isn't a good plan for self sufficiency, especially more so now with the perilous position of the academy.
Is that reason that Rotherham didn't want them?
TM has to work within the resources he's given. Unfortunately, he's got £3 and a bag of chips to work with. The sad state of affairs is that we're selling players to teams with greater resources than us, who a few years ago were 2 - 3 levels of football below us. It is beyond depressing and currently I doubt if we will ever be competitive ever again at a high level. Pub football here we come!
Wilson was sold the preseason of our return to the Ricoh, the accounts show a 2 million loss in that period and that is with the Wilson cash received and the return to the Ricoh. Without the Wilson sale the losses would have been over 4 million in the last set of accounts which covers the season we returned to the Ricoh.The wilson money was used to cover the massive losses during the sixfields exile and gates of 2000.
Don't see any strong evidence we are heading in the right direction financially, the last set of accounts show a 2 million loss and that is with a transfer profit of £2.7 million and a return to the Ricoh within that time frame. This season just passed we had to sell Maddison to cover losses for the season after it was said 11,000 crowds would sustain the budget for the season.I don't think anyone has said we are break even just yet, but heading in that direction. There are plenty of football clubs in the lower leagues who have to use the transfer market to help balance the books, and it is not yet clear if this is purely about cash flow or has been done for footballing reasons.
The club is a car crash at the moment, but on its own this deal is not all that alarming. I just find the claims of some that money is disappearing to the Cayman islands silly and baseless.
The only thing that would convince me to trust these hedge fund scum bags would be a completely open and honest set of accounts with all the detail involved that a layman could understand. If the devious turds haven't got anything to hide why don't they do this as best they can without actually revealing the salaries of individuals. They won't though will they ?! I think in truth they will always somehow ensure a black hole in our finances and one that will need to be filled with yet more 'cost adjustments', sale of anyone saleable and short termism in player dealings.The wilson money was used to cover the massive losses during the sixfields exile and gates of 2000.

Once again you've just jumped to a completely wrong conclusion.FFS .... can they do no wrong with you ?
You seem to justify their every backward move.
Any 1 that thinks a Bare Bones team will go a whole season without injuries is a SISU cock sucker!We have till Sept 1st. Of he brings 7 players in thrn who cares. If he wants to spend fees it's prob for good players
Any1 truly raging about this is a council lover.
If it was his decision then good riddance. We only want players who want to play for Coventry City.Turns out it was his decision then. We should be telling him to fuck off. We won't be overall, I'll leave everyone else to decide why.
Before everyone gets their knickers in a twist lets wait and see who comes in. For all we know, this may prove to be a masterstroke.

Would be entirely wrong to keep him if he didn't want to be here.
Yeah, see my edit. I've had a few newcy browns and misread
