How can we play elsewhere when the ITK's have already told us that we are struggling financially? We surely couldn't survive a season at Birmingham on 6,000 crowds and huge rental costs!

Why should CCFC fans raise funds for the pitch when Wasps will still be playing rugby on it, and they will undoubtedly schedule more concerts on it next Summer?

His value is not what you or I think, sky blue glasses or not. As well as his proven ability, it is about potential, and ultimately how keen the buyer is and whether there is competition to buy, as well as how much we want to sell. In a scenario where we don't want to sell then any fee is...

Early doors but reading some of this it looks like Eccles could be an early candidate to be a 'favourite' for the boo boys this season.

Absolutely gutted at this. Season has just started and its a complete momentum killer on the pitch. At a time when the ITK's are saying we're desperately short of money, this will also be a big blow to our immediate cash flow off the pitch however. With it looking like a fantastic day tomorrow...

No, blocking someone when you have no intention of playing the ball is. To be honest its not so much the player 'in possession' I'm that bothered about, but more the secondary player who acts as a blocking screen to prevent players easily getting to the man 'in possession'. That to me is a foul.

The trouble is that his pace offers us something off the bench that could prove useful to us now. Sending him off on loan takes that option away from us. We have already lost O'Hares skill set for the first half of the season by the look of it, so why voluntarily take another different option...

The ball in the corner thing is still there for the ref to deal with in the existing rules. Most of the time the player protecting the ball has no intention of playing it. Likewise there is normally an additional team mate nearby solely acting as a blocker. It is to all intents deliberate...

Barring any late injuries I think the only change in the starting XI will be Dabo for Eccles.

I don't want us to play our best XI in this game, as it would give Millwall a fitness edge over us going into the following weekend game, and to me that match is far more important. Its also good to get game time into the squad in general, win, lose or draw. Not sure what the ticket prices were...

This would eliminate the preceived gain from certain types of timewasting in relation to pissing around over corners, throw ins, free kicks, injuries & substitutions, whereby the time refs add on currently comes to nowhere near the actual time wasted. It won't however eliminate gamesmanship...

I think too much is made of the ground location. It's less than 3 miles from the city centre which is not too far really. The bigger factor, which you have touched on, was the ill thought out 'green travel plan', where strict parking restrictions were put in place, without any reasonable...

Fair enough, I was working on 10% basis. Is this definte though, that we still qualify for a cut of the transfer fee or are we just guessing?

Your maths are wrong. The percentage we get will be of the profit, not the total fee, so if we are entitled to a cut still it will be in the region of £350k.

Maybe its just the circles I've been in but my schooldays were in Rugby where I can only ever recall 3 Villa fans, who were all ridiculed (and bullied sad to say) relentlessly. As an adult in the 20 or so years I lived in Cov I honestly never came across a Villa fan from Cov.

If nothing else this might dampen the ridiculous over confidence of some posters on here predicting the Sunderland game to be a stroll. For the last 3 seasons (including our promotion season) we have struggled to get going away from home, even if we have played fairly well at times. Last seasons...

Giles played very well and he does deliver a decent cross. In the first half particularly though West Brom allowed him acres of space, while in the 2nd half though, all West Broms danger came from his side so nothing has really changed in regard to him. Very good when you're attacking and your...

Perhaps the O'Hare rumour emanated from Sunderland's version of Greggs and is a bit of payback on their part!

Presuming its correct that we still get something from future sales, wouldn't it be based on the transfer profit made? Therefore if Leicester bought him for £20m and sell for £50m the bit that we would have our take from in your scenario would be £30m, and we would therefore get £300,000.

Don't bet that 20/1. Just been told its 40/1 with Paddy Power. Obviously suggests its an unlikely winner, but you never know!
