    What are our squads current wages?

    think FFP rules for 2012/13 League 1 will be based on year to 31/05/2012 turnover figures so turnover wont be quite so dire. Dunn, Clarke, Cameron, McPake, Hussey Christie, Thomas, Bigi, Baker ROD, Platt say that lot averaged out at around £3k each per week that would come to £1.7m - if...

    Gael's award

    Well if he looked that good he has improved compared to a couple of weeks ago against Leicester. That is good news, hopefully he may be an option again for the first team soon. I agree rob the article about Gael makes refreshing reading.

    Why I think League 1 is a must for us...

    Do you honestly think that anyone would listen to what they actually say ..... or even believe it. They should have communicated from the start, told it like it is etc.... they didnt .......... trouble is now if they do it is going to stir up some much rubbish and I can understand why nothing...

    Why I think League 1 is a must for us...

    Going down a division is not going to be easy financially at all. There is a loss on league money and TV money. There is at least an initial loss of gate money. Say as Otis suggested £4m ? I do not think thats unreasonable. On the other side I reckon we will save an extra £1m in wages when...

    Administration

    Not if it is a change to the Insolvency Act so that it over rides rules in governing bodies that are to the detriment to the crown or other creditors. Not interfering in the FA Premier or Football League at all then. And cant claim they are being treated unfairly

    Administration

    If clubs are going to do that then I think the government will have to legislate. The clubs wont like it nor the leagues but I think there is a ground swell of opinion now that says enough is enough and we are getting ripped off. Can but hope something is done about it anyway - its a disgrace!

    Administration

    never been a level playing field BSB - and it riles me too ! Got to hope that we are able to take advantage in seasons to come. Pompey (or was it Bristol) i am sure i heard need to reduce wages from £15m to £6m that is going to take some doing. It is going to affect a lot of other teams...

    Administration

    It could be a reason certainly - but my honest opinion is that it isnt. I think it is more to do with what division are we going to be in. Also I think some of the player costs or player retentions will be affected by relegation and will impact on the plans. But thats just an opinion I dont know...

    Administration

    It isnt the councils share of ACL that has an option for sale it is the Charity. Thats half of ACL who run the stadium not half the stadium. Council can veto the sale as can the Charity. Any player sales are locked within CCFC - and any sales proceeds used to fund the operations of CCFC...

    Administration

    if the plan was liquidation why continue to fund the club knowing you wont get any more money back - that doesnt make any sense. You cut your losses as soon as you can - especially if you are a ruthless financier. I said a long time back that SISU are dealing with the finance (- ie cutting...

    Administration

    lets at least get the facts right.......... SISU are the agents for the investors - they are not the investors at all nor diod they make any loans to CCFC. The investors (SISU's Clients) use a Cayman island based company to channel their investment into various opportunities including CCFC. It...

    Why I think League 1 is a must for us...

    we have won 6 in 36 matches this season - none away from home. I didnt say win all the games i said we should expect to win more games, that is not unreasonable or do you expect us to be relegated from League 1 too ?! Because a similar record to this will probably see that and i will have paid...

    Andy Thorn Myths and Facts

    Why I think League 1 is a must for us...

    I do however feel that which ever manager, whatever the squad we are right to expect the team to win more games than this year. That in its self would be success and more enjoyable. To win 6 out of 36 and none away is just not acceptable for any team under any manager- it takes more than that...

    Why I think League 1 is a must for us...

    relegation didnt work for us last time why should it work now ? The likes of Norwich, Leeds, Man City etc have something we don't have and that is a proven good fan base. What we have is the thought that given our catchment area we should have ......... that is a big difference, most...

    King ignoring booing

    Wouldnt disagree with you about his movement MMM. That is something we rarely have in players at CCFC to any great quality. Thought Cameron did well against him and can only benefit from playing against such players.

    King ignoring booing

    He got booed when he was on the ball but to be honest I have heard far worse from other fans towards him. I think the limited amount of booing he received also shows how often he was actually on the ball. Just a shame he scored but somehow you knew he would.
