Just wondered with the international break coming up and following the departure of Harries & Thomas do we at any level within the club (including the Academy) have any players that are currently being selected for any international squads ?

Yes higher attendances will knock on to other incomes I agree but look at the 2016 figures for CCFC. An increase to 15000 average would have been 2500 extra people. It wouldn't have changed the shirt sponsorship income that was/is in place, it might have increased advertising incomes (few more...

I can see the point you are making but the Turnover already compared favourably with Burton & Fleetwood in 2015/16 on average CCFC gates of 12570 that season. An extra 2500 on the attendance to 15000 average would raise say 700k excl VAT. Ticket prices have gone up since then so that may mean on...

This was included in the BBC football transfer & gossip this morning A legend as a player, not so much in the boardroom? Former Bolton Wanderers striker Dean Holdsworth has resigned as a director of all group companies of the Championship club. The 48-year-old's resignation comes nine days...

The promotion to Championship season 2015/16 financials of Burton make interesting reading. Promotion achieved on a turnover of £4.2m and wages of 3.6m. That's not out of reach of CCFC even now. However Burton have land assets, a positive Balance sheet (£5m) and are not burden with debt or large...

Seems a sensible chap who looked at it decided what was best for him and his family. CCFC have their pay structure and couldn't offer better for an player 28 and unproven in the football league. Seems sensible all round to me. You could argue well at least they tried to get a non league hot...

Understand the points you are making NW, which others have to some degree pointed to also, they are well made I understand that repeated use of such rememberance actions numbs the sensitivity to it. There is a real danger of that I agree. But (there is always a but ...) general questions to...

Surely a minute out of your day clapping, or in silence, or one after the other, or whatever you choose to do as an individual is not too much to ask is it? a few moments taken to show a rejection of terrorism, solidarity with communities subject to it, to show compassion with those injured or...

I think people are over estimating his role and influence. He is not going to be making the key decisions without the full support of those higher up. It seems to me that his focus is the commercial side of things, which involves frequent communication of such things to the fans, which is...

It is easy to focus on the "selfish" footballers with more money than sense but this shows it isn't always so Everton’s under-23 squad are buying a house for young homeless people - BBC Three Well done to those lads & EFC and I hope it continues to be funded

Did anyone else see this SKY programme on Sunday. The story of Gretna Football Club. For a few brief seasons (around 6 years) they had terrific success rising from Village club through the divisions to the SPL, Cup final and even Europe. Then in 2008 it all fell apart and Gretna folded...

Bigirmana not even in Motherwell squad. Has he played for them yet?

Good start to the season against what was expected to be tricky opponents, and which leaves room for improvement (i mean that as a positive). Goals scored and a clean sheet. Confidence instilled in to the group and individually. Decent crowd that with consistently good results will increase. Got...

Ok figures available and proves how wrong my speculation was. Briefly - turnover down £560k to £804k - loss for year before tax £157k (2016 Profit 270k) - Cash in hand down by £400k to £128k - shares issued in 2016 year at premium = £128k - money put in. None in 2017 - one less employee now 8...

pretty much. Its management and administration of other peoples investment monies

Just a heads up really. The SISU Capital 31-03-2017 financials were filed at Companies House today. They should be available for download next week for those of you that are interested. Will no doubt bring the usual comments about CCFC fund extraction. It will be interesting to see how they are...

Interesting commentary on the way PSG might be affected by the FFP rules. Turns out that the £198m will be spread over the 5 years of his contract to meet the FFP criteria. Neymar transfer: Can PSG get away with paying £198m fee? - BBC News

Trouble is though deals such as this become the overall driver of player prices. It is not just about does it work for PSG. Average players become more expensive, and not all teams are backed by countries, but they do all operate in the same markets. Nor is it just about the transfer fee there...

I would guess at around 7500 might be a bit more as it is first game of the season I hope the club have got their budgets right because the lower down the leagues you go the bigger the effect of small variances. If they are budgeting say on 9000 average crowds and don't get off to a good start...

complete financial madness. deal worth £198m apparently. It is obscene really The whole structure has to collapse at some point surely. If the various governing bodies didn't have rules about political interference, football creditors, and lip service financial and owner controls it would have...
