    Paul Fletcher : Ground Share will never work

    I think I might add to that a long term partnership that is mutually beneficial to both clubs in terms of revenue. We shouldn't at this stage assume such as thing is not possible at the Ricoh, but the will to do it has to be there on both sides....... is it? Two basic things need to be...

    Paul Fletcher : Ground Share will never work

    Could be wrong but I believe he was one of the signatories on the lease and licence agreement, not sure if it was for ACL or CCFC though

    Swansea group accounts makes interesting reading They have made profits of 1.7m and 1.3m in 2015 and 214 respectively 85% of their £103 turnover is from the media sources. Match income is £7m and commercial income £9m with around £2m from other sources. So if they earn £85m in the...

    Coventry City's Top Five Academy

    Seems there was a lot of good work started under the academy leadership of Gregor Rioch and is being carried on and improved under the current set up. Hard to believe that it has been under threat so often in the past. Well done to our academy

    Paul Fletcher : Ground Share will never work

    Football salaries

    Cant help thinking that this is money gone mad. The product is often little more than average. Yes the players have pressures but no more than the rest of us, only different in some respects. I would rather be in their position than that of a family living on or below the poverty line worrying...

    Scg

    Really struggle to see the point of the SCG in its current guise and make up. Most who sit on it do not represent anyone other than themselves. Who do the Chairperson and his vice chair person represent? Why is Ms Garlick a good future Chairperson? What makes her particular insight appropriate...

    Mean while back in court

    We will never know and perhaps you could call it naiive but............... I can not help wondering if the club had adopted its current financial stance back in 2008, shown the same attitude to living within means and not racked up £53m + in debts, had a plan to run as a viable business...

    forgive me father for i have sinned

    PR at the club has been woeful for a long time. They keep saying they are doing something about it but somehow it stills seems uncoordinated and knee jerk. For example the JSB's on the clubs own website have had no article since December 24 and a total of 8 articles in 2015 (four of those were...

    forgive me father for i have sinned

    isn't the holiday football for kids run by sky blues in the community charity but they call it the jsb's ? there needs to be funding for this kind of stuff, but more importantly joined up long term thinking and the will to follow it through .......... none of which has ever been a great...

    forgive me father for i have sinned

    Think you raise a very valid issue CC4L ........ its about attracting and retaining the youngsters interest. Face painting is a start but giving the youngsters a taste of the sport in a fun safe way is the next step and will get the older kids more interested This kids thing that Wasps did...

    Mean while back in court

    wont actually make any difference to what they do annually. The Charity spends its investment money on good deeds and the ACL shares never got them any income. In fact as they now get 50p per head in the Alan Higgs Charity stand from Wasps they will be better off They will of course not have...

    Mean while back in court

    Higgs McGinnity & Robinson were owed a total of £2m between them. Higgs was never a director of Football Investors. Football Investors was 100% owned by CCFC Holdings
