    Leicester winning again !

    True, I don't know more. So how can you say they are 'Money Grabbing' when all you do is speculate? Didn't the club sell Prozone for £7m? I didn't say there's no need to critize, did I? So no, I don't defend them. I just hate when the mob turns into the Spanish inquisition on conjecture...

    Leicester winning again !

    I believe Ranson was well paid when he was here - on the flip side he lost Prozone in the process. I can't see how they can benefit from amassing the debts. I don't think they can use it with other companies as they are not chained (ownership structure - no other company owns SBS&L so there is...

    £1.2m?

    Yes, but how does these rumors start? What is the motive? Did someone decide it was time to stir up some sh*t as it's already a couple of days since the last commotion? I don't get it, and even worse there always seem to be a band ready to make it sound as it could be true.

    Leicester winning again !

    'Money Grabbing' may be a bit harsh as they have never taken a penny out of the club. The main difference is that our owners have only invested some £25m while Leicester's owner has invested almost £150m.

    Joe Elliot: Even He Likes Wasps

    And formed part of the first sisu board that over three years wasted millions and got us exactly nowhere.

    Mowbray, League 1 and finance

    Let me start with your last sentence - the reason it's not done more than it is, is because of ignorance. Not many company managers care about 'green tech', CO2 emission, waste management, water conservation, renewable energy or any of that stuff, because 1) they don't have to and 2) it's not...

    Mowbray, League 1 and finance

    Thing is the club is owned by bankers - not entrepreneurs. In their world innovation is about new ways at circumventing the tax laws. They dream of assets and liabilities not profit and losses. Asking them to come up with innovative new ideas is like asking me to build a spaceship. If we want...

    Mowbray, League 1 and finance

    Ok - I will leave the details to others. The main objective is to come up with new ideas.

    Mowbray, League 1 and finance

    At this level? It was meant as an incentive. But maybe you would prefer that the players who do not get voted MOM pays a fine?

    Mowbray, League 1 and finance

    What, my idea is not original? Must try harder! Here's another - bet that is original. Buy an evening with a player. A group of up to 5 people can buy an evening with a player of their choice. The group pay £350 to the club plus dinner (no alcohol to the player!). The evening could start at...

    Mowbray, League 1 and finance

    Good start! Let me try ... Text-a- ... no not a sub, but MOM (home games). People can during the game text their MOM and at the final whistle the result is displayed. The proceeds is then shared: 15% to the MOM player 10% price draw by all contributors 75% to the club £0.75 per text (plus...

    Mowbray, League 1 and finance

    Maybe they need help? Why don't we produce a list of suggestions? I am sure there are a few creative thinkers on this board who can come up with usable ideas. Weed out the 90% unserious remarks and send the rest to the club.

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    I am afraid I agree with you that Wasps/ACL won't fail anytime soon. If they can secure a good name sponsorship then it's definitely over - the club will never own the Ricoh (or whatever it's name will be). That leaves two choices - stay as tenant in the faint hope Wasps hedge fund will treat...

    Wasps in talks to takeover Ricoh

    I think the shareholder agreement between Higgs and CCC stated that none of them could own more than 50%. If that's (roughly) correct, then Higgs would have to match whatever CCC put in.
