Not embarrassed by Leicester winning the Premiership at all. Well done to them ....... but look how much has been spent to achieve it. We simply do not have access to that sort of owner funding, so I can understand our fans being envious or jealous but I do not see how SISU not having those...

I can think of a lot reasons why the club is not that attractive, but not many that make it an attractive proposition to anyone Seems to me that we have become a bit of a zombie club with no clear way out of our predicament

I didn't think we were for sale ........ and whilst the court cases continue I doubt we are

it could have been us ................. errr no it couldnt

I think the key part of the article is that they looked at him before and couldn't afford the wages. Of course if he is released then that may change but if he is that good others will probably out bid us Par for the course though isn't it over the summer months lots of reports of players we...

Bottom line is we don't know and to be honest its academic. It isn't the amount/ranking that is important or some FL calculation it is how the amount available is utilised that counts and to be honest some of the signings this year do not seem to me to have been anything close to good...

seems a sensible direction to take as clearly the club itself can not handle the ticket sales adequately - they just don't have the man power or expertise. I guess there is some element of cost saving because the club will not need so many staff to administer the issue of tickets It also makes...

Surely our club has bigger issues than the whereabouts of a chronic sick note who is most likely on his way out of the club come the end of the season without playing for us again?

"if things like routine maintenance of Ryton, sprucing up the team coach, setting up a scouting network from scratch and employing your backroom staff come out of it" Such things have nothing to do with the player SCMP budget tony. The calculation is specific to players The direct costs...

From what I understand then CCFC had a "budget" this season that was in the top 25% of all the L1 clubs However that "budget" is just a SCMP calculation. It therefore - is just a FL calculated limit that doesn't include all players - doesn't mean we or any other club spend it all - indeed if...

Well as IEC forms part of the ACL Group and was hived off from ACL (a sub group of Wasps Holdings) then the turnover to compare is 21m for 2015 and the first full year of ACL it was £7m you tell me Up until now the arena has not been driven hard or properly. Time will tell if it will indeed be...

As I have said when looking at the SBS&L/ CCFC accounts it is the Group situation that is important. Not highlighting one group member and then mixing in information from around the group Wasps Holdings Limited shows operating losses of 2.4m. with only six months involvement in the Ricoh. The...

But what you have quoted specifically indicates that their next project was Drapers Hall doesnt it? The Trustees only have to justify their actions to the charity Commission. Is there a registered change in charity objectives - not that I can see There is no duty moral, charitable or...

I assume you mean the Drapers Hall development. That was first reported as the Charity being involved in 2012. Not sure the project has proceeded further than the business plan & drawings No Grendel they have yet to file the accounts but that might be something to do with the charge they have...

Pointless argument though isnt it. There never was any deal at £2m. The valuations gave different figures and the actual value that counts is what was actually paid. Value in 2012 was never going to be the same as in 2014 I am also not sure how this has very much relevance to the reasons Ms...

Thats why i put 1.5m in TOTAL value in the original post

No but you know that. But then again neither SISU nor Wasps made an offer based on a formula included in the original agreement either. They paid 2.77m or in total £5.54m ........ using your £2m value that made ACL worth £4m ....... so Wasps were prepared to pay significantly more than SISU...

Actually Nick we dont know it was about right. That was a verbal offer in 2012 and the Wasps deal was (a) in 2014 and (b) at least £1.5m more in total value plus add ons. Seppalas "offer"wasnt as such an indication of true value but take it or leave it. In any case a lot happened between 2012...

One thing I didnt mention in the analysis is the effect that Wasps will have on our ability to progress. Now i know that Wasps could play hard ball about rent and income streams at the Ricoh and that could hinder the club certainly. However there are other effects that are going to hit but...

Thanks for that update Nick I hadnt seen that before Entirely possible that they would rip it up yes. If it made more sense for a multi million pound swimming pool to replace it in 2019 then they will. They will have had 3 years use out of it and its capital value will be not a lot. From what...
