    ticket sales

    No but most teams raise finance ........... whether it be owner loans (secured or not), loans from private equity funds, bank loans, other forms of loans or retail bonds ............ the bottom line is that they all appear as liabilities on the balance sheet and are all legally due for repayment

    ticket sales

    but in the scheme of things so far, it doesn't seem to be any more so than for most sports teams (outside the Premier League) so it doesn't raise further any particular hope in my opinion of it all benefiting CCFC or CRFC. Most teams rely on the goodwill of creditors, investors and owners...

    Fisher again

    true NW but not everyone is actually in a position to influence or direct one of the parties directly involved. To my mind there are only four characters in such a position regarding where CCFC play ..... Seppala & Fisher or Richardson & Eastwood...... the rest is just noise. Fisher has often in...

    Jordan Shipley - is he good enough for league 1

    I think Shipley is good enough but like many of the squad lacks consistency. Like the team overall plenty of players play a good half then disappear from the match for the rest of it. He is no different. Young lad who is still learning his craft and asked to do so in a position he is not...

    Match Thread Coventry City v Sunderland match thread Saturday 29 Sep

    I thought the first half was cagey and disappointing. Sunderland were did not play as well as I thought they would and we gave them too much respect. Second half was much better, but we lack confidence and belief in front of goal...... the longer that goes on the harder it will get. In the end...

    Fisher again

    I haven't seen the interview but I would think that he is trying to position public perception for something that is going on or about to go on in the back ground. From the comments here I would suspect its along the lines of "we wanted to stay but it wasn't our choice"

    Wasps current finances & hope

    I would say following the comments in the last audited accounts that refinancing is harder. However put together a couple of years decent figures with no adverse reports and the effect of that wears off. Lenders will still be on their guard. The fact that there is very little trading that has...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    - the 6.5% coupon is the annual interest rate. So no you don't get 106.50 when term is up. There is a sliding scale of bonus for early redemption at the issuers option up until 13/11/2021. After that I think it is face value. That's if Wasps pay the bonds off to clear their debt before the...

    Wasps current finances & hope

    Just a few thoughts really - if they are investing in training ground then the prospect of them moving from the area, relocating at Brentford etc is made even more unlikely(even if Brentford will be ready December 2019). The training ground has to tie in with the location of the players, youth...

    Coventry RFC Thread 18/19

    Went to the game on Saturday, I try to go to a couple of games most seasons and have done for years It is good to see Cov doing well and hopefully they surprise a few this season and upset the odds above. It is a tough league that they are now in. Consolidating a position mid table would be a...

    10 Clubs that could play in empty stadiums and still profit

    To be honest I think there has been some very simplistic calculations being done. I do not think there is a set definition of match day income. I find it hard to believe that Sheff utd made sales of 7.9m from their crowds. I think teams allocate or differentiate between income sources as they...

    10 Clubs that could play in empty stadiums and still profit

    Interesting article on the BBC. The TV money makes a massive difference higher up in the leagues. So much so that 10 premier league teams could still have made a profit had they had no fans attend at all. However in the case of the really big clubs gate receipts are still important because of...

    Sisu' latest accounts

    Wasn't going to say more but... What annoys me is that they don't actually think about what they are reporting. Sisu group reported income 3.9m paid out just over 1m in costs and made 2.86m profits. Yet somewhere in that they paid nearly 3m to directors..... how??? Amounts paid to directors are...

    Presently on a well earned and great holiday so going to spend very little time on this until I get back The report in the CT is wrong and shows they have little understanding of accounts or group accounts. So don't rely on the report The sisu accounts report their investment activities via...

    Stayed in the next bay Srebreno. Went to see the hotels. Also went to Cavtat which is very pretty and used by some very expensive boats. Dubrovnik was very busy but did the walk round the city walls and the cable car and of course the game of thrones sites

    Absolutely disgraceful behaviour by the agent involved in this. Totally unprofessional, I hope the FA take away his licence - (which of course they wont)
