    Leon clark

    Whilst no one could accuse me of being in any way shape or form supportive of SISU I think you fail to understand the dire financial situation - the Ryton training ground has been charged to secure borrowings (not mortgaged) for many years. It is apparently valued at Currently at £350k - it is...

    TM wants us to trust him/Infrastructure

    Average salary L1 2014-15 was £69500 or around £1340 pw. With all the money washing around I would expect that to be higher this year. How much would we pay say one of our youngsters? Is the expectation of salary higher because of the big club perception? Will that put a lot of players out of...

    Vincelot joins Bradford

    What I said was it was unwarranted - in that we have sold players before and will again and it is not in my opinion the place of the Trust to question, with what appears to be a knee jerk statement, individual player transfers sanctioned by the manager. Why because it allows exactly what has...

    Vincelot joins Bradford

    I think that Trust statement is unwarranted and ill advised The Manager sold a player so he could best work the budget he has to provide a team. Hardly the first time that has happened

    The 'I told you so' thread

    Seem to remember having had my told you so moment many years ago. CC4L and I were discussing a hedge fund taking over the club on the old BBC 606 site . We both agreed careful what you wish for there will be problems whilst many others were falling over themselves because Joy and her investors...

    Tony Mowbray explainswhy he sold Coventry City fans' favourite Romain Vincelot to Bradford City

    Whilst I have always advocated living within our means you are not correct on the losses In the 10 years from 01/06/1990 to 31/05/2000. CCFC lost 30.34m (even made a profit one year). However in the year of takeover the losses for the group were effectively written off 100% but showed on the...

    Tony Mowbray explainswhy he sold Coventry City fans' favourite Romain Vincelot to Bradford City

    Actually they do disclose the sales in the same way as any other asset when sold in any other limited company. What you don't get is an individual break of each sale but you wouldn't get that if they were selling off plant or equipment either. It is all within the Companies Act Rules That said...

    Tony Mowbray explainswhy he sold Coventry City fans' favourite Romain Vincelot to Bradford City

    Accounts for CCFC (OEM & SBS&L) to 31 May 2016 have to be filed at Companies House by 28 February 2017. I doubt they will be filed earlier than that

    How many players do we need?

    I would think we need at least 6, not just because we need 2CB's 2CM's and 2 forwards. Looks to me like the whole spine of the team needs strengthening Right now he has to solve or allow for the current squads - lack of physicality - lack of sufficient experience - lack of bite & ball winning -...

    TM wants us to trust him/Infrastructure

    Which begs the question what is the infrastructure and image he wants to build ? Easier for fans to believe & trust if they know what it is they are supposed to believe and trust in.

    SCG Meeting

    To be honest I wouldn't expect many answers to questions, never have been in the past. But some of the things I would like to know - How many meetings have been arranged and missed/cancelled - why? - If there is no written reply from CSF what is the alternative solution, given CA's stance of no...

    That's enough

    Although one of the more successful major operations there is a risk that the op goes wrong, that there is infection or the bone splits (older you get then bone thins and weakens). There is a 5% risk of dislocation apparently. My mother in law has had hers 8 years (both hips) and dislocated...

    Have I missed an academy update?

    Trouble is neither side sees there being any form of partnership because of what has, and is going on under present and past ownerships Problem for CCFC is there are two essential capital items that they need access to but they have engendered no goodwill with which they can trade. They are in...

    Have I missed an academy update?

    Sure they could put it in writing Nick, to be honest though there was no need for all this palava was there from either side. It does look like it is back to the Ricoh dispute days of newspaper negotiation. As far as Wasps input is concerned, they have said the indoor pitch would be available 5...

    Have I missed an academy update?

    I think this is the bit in the FOI's that they are relying on. But wasn't there a follow up email (which others have referred to previously) explaining about the netball courts and how CCFC use the area until their user agreement runs out I do wish they would stop referring to it as a lease -...

    Have I missed an academy update?

    It is in one sense yes I would agree and it would not be binding so in that case having it in writing is worthless. I suspect the real reason CA wants it in writing is because he will use it as evidence that CSF/Wasps have closed the Academy by not having the exact EPPP facilities available to...
