Just found this on the BBC site. Nigel Owens, referee for the World Cup Final, showing how it should be done. I think you can safely say he doesn't stand any messing http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/rugby-union/34640459 Also interesting the players refer to him as sir

Just out of interest Why would Wasps want a share of the massive debt of CCFC with no prospect of a return as it stands? - there are preference shares there that are accruing £9m each year of any potential distributable profits assuming they can clear the £70m balance sheet deficit ...... Why...

As TF is a director of Otium then of course he was involved in the decision to take Cole on. Silly to think otherwise. However TM is working within the player budget that has been set by the directors and the role of the directors SW/TF is to rubber stamp or not the deals within that budget. Or...

The Klopp press conference is well worth a watch.

Can't fault what he says and I agree with it. Hopefully the owners/TF/SW will learn and finally understand what it takes to run a good football club, rather than the intransigence and belligerence we have seen in the previous years under their tenure. Best thing they can do right now is to...

This just gives me more confidence that the football side of things is in the right hands ....... TM & MV The longer the likes of the owners, TF and SW keep their distance the better in my opinion http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/sport/football/football-news/this-great-job-me-mark-10220611

more likely those in power worried about losing the funding from its sponsors. So far any changes have been superficial in terms of resurrecting FIFA's reputation and establishing it as a sound respected organisation it should be. That said it seems the ethics committee are at least tinkering...

was the meeting with the FL specifically about the stadium I wonder? or was it a general financial review to check the budgets etc. I assume that the minutes of the SCG meeting will clarify when published because surely they would have passed that on to the SCG wouldn't they? Its positive news...

no we haven't but it is possible to list many of the additional incomes such a set up might bring and the additional costs. It isn't actually a long list . You only have to look at other clubs financials to get a reasonable feel for it. Without the aid of parachute payments, loans and losses...

all this has been gone over a million times already, it hasn't changed anything and never will. We have to accept the realities and deal with them So what is the way forward from the point CCFC are at now.............. ?

To be fair unless we have owners prepared to trade at multi million pound losses or to put in millions of new funds the deal at the Ricoh or the new stadium is not going to make the difference to CCFC competing in the Championship. The gap in funding is simply to big

I think that we have to look at the overall picture sometimes. There is presently an ethos of cost cutting (not criticising that btw). It has to be that way for the club to live within its means. So when comments are made that hint at others playing hard ball just sometimes we need to factor in...

there is of course the possibility of CCFC setting the term of the agreement and ACL wanting a two year break option and there was a trade off to get both terms

Some good points the chiefdave on the car parking though ....... the cost to fans on the CCFC website is £184 in A and B or 115 in C. So if costs had increased so significantly would that not have been passed on in the prices? What was the cost the year before? Did CCFC provide CWR with a...

Just to clear a couple of points CCFC return deal was signed with ACL, which of course is now owned by Wasps Holdings, prior to the takeover. It is difficult to believe that Wasps did not know the terms of the arrangement before they bought the two sets of shares however - it would have been...

I agree there are free tickets ...... I have no idea how many. I did not say that the secondary spend makes up for the free tickets. I suggest you read it properly and also do your own research

that's a valid view point certainly but depends on the business model Wasps could have adapted to I would think The bonds are currently still trading at a premium will be interesting to see what happens to them when the first financials are reported

Guess we wait and see. Were we not paying £28 at one point per match ticket in the Championship though. Is £30 such a leap? The only thing I would add is that success or failure at the Ricoh is not just about attendances though. If the commercial department really gets its act together then...

To answer your points No I wouldn't advise my clients to do that. But I would suggest there is more the club could/should have done to inform fans, to get them on side with the new stadium scheme and to snowball the pressure to get it done. So far we have had rhetoric, pictures of a Brentford...
