    Bayliss off?

    You would hope so. but it is really just stirring the same pot around to cover player purchases and wages. The most he can spend is 60%. But that is restricted to the timing of funds actually received and the SCMP is reviewed every 3 months ( is my understanding). I think a lot of fans will...

    Bayliss off?

    Just a question if Bayliss is being sold to fund the shortfall because of playing at St Andrews how does that leave surplus funds to buy players? Also most deals are structured in terms of payment so are we sure it will be £2m up front or is it over a longer period? That affects the club's...

    Less Money

    Last accounts 2018 (ave crowd 9700 and checkatrade win in that year) showed net losses total over £2.5m I think (that is after profits on player sales £970k). Even making savings on the wages budget they will lose 1m+ in match income because of smaller crowds. I dont really see losses going...

    Less Money

    2 games at 5000 people probably brings in 100K or 120K against that they don't have to pay out rent, wages for stewards, subsidise coach travel and match day expenses etc of probably around 30k or more in total. Plus some (most ?) of the income is from season tickets which i would guess is not...

    Poll: Wasps in Coventry

    The negotiations were with the Charity not ACL fp. Turns out there was a reason SISU wanted sight of the ACL books. Yes ACL were talking to wasps with a view to ACL owning wasps not the other way round. It was also the time that assets in CCFC got moved or were lost. They were all as bad as...

    Poll: Wasps in Coventry

    Just a few of points on the Wasps finances. The latest info available is for the 6 months to 31/12/2018. Audited accounts are due to be reported 31/10/2019 If you compare 31/12/2018 figures to the same six months in 2017 then turnover was up not by much £390k but it hadnt fallen. ( six months...

    Poll:Attendance

    Will attend when and if it suits me to (have a couple of games in mind). But if i don't i won't lose any sleep over it. Not making any protest or statement in saying that. Wont tie myself to a season ticket, it just wouldn't work for me. I have other things i can and need to do, which are more...

    Ask Neil

    "Why don't people feel represented by the Trust?" "What would we need to do for people to feel represented?" "What could we improve on to build relationships again?" All valid questions Nick that the Board need to consider

    Ask Neil

    Shouldnt be about personalities it should be about actions and knowledge. Really not bothered by his assessment of my credibility, I have demonstrated enough knowledge and understanding of this saga over the years. I have nothing to prove to anyone Can i ask is this a chat with Neil between two...

    Transfer Rumour Bids for Chaplin

    There should be no surprise at this, entirely sensible in our current circumstances. Think a few were getting carried away without thinking of the realities. Also i notice the talk is of a possible loan move for Walker not a purchase and certainly not at £1m!

    Transfer Rumour Bids for Chaplin

    Which budget though? the one set by SISU/directors to run the finances in total or the internal playing budget agreed to be available to MR or the one set by the EFL under SCMP. Could be very different things They can only spend 60% of the transfer money on the playing budget. so not all money...

    Transfer Rumour Bids for Chaplin

    must admit i am curious to see how this will all stack up financially Given we will have a smaller budget this season. MR made this comment recently “But it’s not a bottomless pit of money. We will not have increased the budget, which is another good thing because at the end of the day we...

    Trust Meeting

    Yes people got behind a great initiative but it took someone to do it, not just say wouldn't it be a good idea. Bet he never thought it would be such a success. MMJ is to be greatly applauded for it The only cause to get behind is bring CCFC back to Coventry I would doubt numbers at the AGM's...

    Trust Meeting

    I wouldn't get hung up on numbers attending an AGM proving any point. I have recently done the audits of three clubs with over 3000 members each, with a free pint available to the members who attended the AGM and the numbers there ? ........ 21, 25 and 32. Attendance numbers at the AGM send no...

    Trust Meeting

    Not up to me to explain, and everyone will have different opinions. i was just showing the differences between a supporters club and the Trust. The Trust should be more than any one individual both in perception and reality is the only comment i would make
