    Wasps current finances & hope

    at the moment they are reliant on Richardson to fund the gap I would think. Certainly looks like they will have to if they are to satisfy the new bond clauses They were losing 3m to 4m per year

    Wasps current finances & hope

    Certainly not what they wanted to achieve and the bond price has dipped 5% on the news. As said several times above and on other threads the EBITDA was the biggest problem. Having had a quick scan of the documents released on the LSE it raises a number of issues. From the number and nature of...

    Christmas coming early apparently? / Dale Evans...

    It doesn't happen often, in fact rarely, but even I can get very frustrated cc4l ............. there is a lot of good work done behind the scenes that has been badly damaged by Evans. Superman I am not, even on these meds and the gym course I am taking (not even close):angelic: :)

    Christmas coming early apparently? / Dale Evans...

    I don't think Gary Hoffman or his consortium, knew anything about this at all. Evans is a loose cannon and should not be anywhere near the ownership of CCFC in my opinion. I can not imagine him changing if he acquired the club, it would be a shambles. If he didn't like the team picked or result...

    All that follows is purely opinion and no personal slight intended or made just in case there are any lawyers around Just say he has the money ................. I have seen nothing that tells me he has (so I do not believe it or in him) .................. So this following scenario is make...

    Christmas coming early apparently? / Dale Evans...

    To be honest I am not sure he is posting about ccfc at all. I do not believe there is anything currently going on in terms of a buy out. For whatever reason ccfc is not for sale except at a price that is mind boggling fantasy If it is about a two year deal how or why would he know. If it were...

    Ricoh deal done?

    No agreed ............... assuming he has been given the authority and perhaps more importantly the parameters within which he can negotiate. Unless he has been given the power and clear instructions it is wasting everyone's time First question I would ask him if I were in Wasps shoes is "do...

    Ricoh deal done?

    In theory it should be the CCFC directors. Checking at Companies House only Fisher is listed as a director of Otium, so it should be him. However I would think because commitments at the Ricoh tie in closely with SISU strategy in a legal sense that almost certainly means Seppala would want to...

    Robins on CWR at 8.50

    heard it when driving in to office. Pretty well repeated what he said Saturday. Started brightly, should have scored more, gave away a goal but came back, deserved the win and McNulty a good player playing below his level. Then went on about the Robins family Christmas and who is buying the...

    This is the week - Next season's home ground

    Whilst a 10 year would suit the EFL and I would think Wasps, if they need the income, I am not at all sure it fits in with what we know of SISU - ie short term planning designed not to give any financial benefit to their adversaries in court. I will believe it when I see it and I do not expect...

    Ten for £10 offer against Wycombe

    You see I don't think we are too far apart in thinking. I have no problem with a differing opinion that is well argued as is yours. I don't claim to get everything right and never have. Yes all teams will max out their budget for wages I don't disagree its the nature of football finance...

    4th bid rejected but sisu

    I would not be certain that this has only just happened ie this week. I do wonder why the news is leaked now as there seems no reason to do so other than to say we are still here and trying (and failing). Perhaps it is to tie in with the 10 year "celebration/wake" I would think that Seppala...

    Ten for £10 offer against Wycombe

    Just speculation really trying to guess what the event could be. Wasn't saying any of the suggestions were right or happening however..... Anything received in April or May will be included in the previous years accounts and budgets, the financial year end for Otium is 31/05/2017. So the...

    Hypothetical January Transfer Thread

    It is worrying that this January transfer window might be exactly as described ................. hypothetical. To compete for the standard of player required, even for loans, is going to take hard cash and I am guessing that is in short supply at CCFC with little opportunity to improve that. I...

    Ten for £10 offer against Wycombe

    Everyone I have spoken to has said they have other plans, already going out or a flat no way. Can't knock the club for trying but I do not think there will be a big take up
