Don't disagree fp but I think you need to go to the root cause not the side effect. The players have no confidence in what they are doing, in the system they are playing, or to some degree each other. Doesn't matter if it is L1, Sunday League, or an office job you get that in your head (a) it is...

I agree on balance with the first part. But the last sentence not so sure. I look at the teams he has picked this season and cant help thinking he has put round pegs in square holes in terms of the players in many positions, ok some is because of injuries but his insistence on how it is all set...

Didn't Wilson getting in the team coincide with two things 1) Wilson had returned from long term injury 2) there was no one else and he had to play him? As I understand it previous coaching staff and managers had high hopes for Wilson, what held him back was his injuries. Not sure there was...

Other day I had a conversation with a mate of mine who said ........ "there's always an excuse for our owners what will be next will be that they cant afford investment in players because the crowds are not big enough, it will be the fans fault" Now there is an inescapable truth in that the...

Don't the comments above sum it up though ....... no one is sure if it is 532 or 352...... no one is sure if the full backs play defensively, attacking or somewhere else entirely. Leads me to think that the players are not sure where they should be or how to play the positions asked of them...

The contractual set up between Compass IEC and ACL is disclosed in the 2013 accounts of ACL and IEC. That wont have changed yet if it is to at all

Wrong on just about everything in that sentence :facepalm:

As one of the few who in 2007/2008 was saying be careful what you wish for I am not sure all things about the business are better. Yes we making smaller losses yes we are trying to live within our means yes we are more cost saving driven Yes we no longer have an expensive lease Its a tighter...

True fp I don't disagree with you but the decision they had was do they pay a premium on that purchase knowing they would then be in pole position with a place at the table or spend that premium on legal fees knowing there was a risk they would be out in the cold. Not to mention how much a new...

Not sure to be honest Vick. I think in the short term they will bump along at the Ricoh and hope for success and promotion. I don't think because of the potential doing deals off balance sheet on the loans that the potential for loss is as great as it seems. I have a feeling that some of their...

I am going to take this as a serious discussion piece despite a definite suspicion it isn't. I am not going to lay the blame solely on SISU, life is not so simplistic, but I wont focus on the actions of others. I am also going to preface this by saying not everything that SISU have done has...

What I have seen so far this season - with the exception of the Gillingham game- seems a bit slow, deliberate and laboured. It seems to favour safety and to me lacks ambition. The passing is average at best and the pressing game seems to be about getting close as long as you can without actually...

I think there could be an element of playing with words going on The SCMP limit could be £2.7m but that doesn't include all players or the coaching and other staff at the club. So it could be he is saying that's the calculated limit and what is being paid out for wages of players is something...

Basically the club are spending less than they are paying out. It is to be honest more about TF trying to put a positive spin on something rather than a particularly helpful statement - you only have to look at some of the questioning above to see it really told us not a lot. As Godiva and...

In terms of the shares themselves I am tempted to say, that because of the relatively low numbers and the desire of the old stakeholders to have a clean break of ownership, it would be cash. Wasps obviously have at least one money backer in this. But I agree the initial examination of their...

do what you feel is best Torch :) , I was just getting the correct facts out there rather than the multitude of incorrect guesses or half truths that seem to everywhere. Didnt say I agreed with Wasps owning it .....

might pay you to actually understand the set up ...... Compass provide the staffing and management of IEC Experience Limited. They bill IEC for that in line with the supply contract they have IEC has a 15 year contract to operate the stadium for ACL that it paid ACL over 4m for. The money...

so him owning half of ACL benefits CCFC how exactly? It still would mean CCFC didnt own any interest in the stadium

Except when the Charity paid CCFC the £6.5 they were basically refunded because the £1.7m formed part of the total £6.8m spent on the project by CCFC through Football Investors. From the CCFC point of view when you take the amounts they contracted for or paid out less the creditors/loans they...

CCFC had the option to buy which expired. CCFC never actually owned it the land purchase of £24m was eventually done by CCC CCFC contracted for a lot of expenses for the project yes but also ended up owing for most of it. CCFC were allowed to net the costs against creditors and to have that net...
