    UEFA Financial Fair Play Rules

    Despite the fact that all Championship clubs agreed in principle on 10 July 2011 to sign up to the rules nothing has as yet been signed but our board, apparently on its own, is slashing and burning our costs allegedly to comply with these as yet unsigned rules. The rules are going to be (if...

    Clouting Refuses To Be Drawn on Hoffman Talks

    Snr Vic - did he really say we have the same budget as Norwich last year? In summer 2010 Norwich signed John Ruddy, Andrew Crofts, Simeon Jackson, David Fox and of course Elliott Ward. Sounds like more bullshit and lies from Clouting - or did he mean as a percentage of revenue where they had...

    Clouting Refuses To Be Drawn on Hoffman Talks

    The hardcore support who would come whatever division we are in or however we are performing is probably around 8-10k - which for a City and catchment area is pathetic but maybe a Div One team is all the city deserves or wants. We have always deluded ourselves that we are a "big" team but in...

    City Fans: take action now or regret it later

    None of know really what Hoffman is offering but from the outside it does appear to be a better deal than the slow decline into obscurity that we are in at the moment - however it does seem totally dependent upon SISU writing off most if not all the loans they hold on the club. If we take...

    Clouting Refuses To Be Drawn on Hoffman Talks

    The financial control issue is a convenient smokescreen for the Directors / SISU to hide behind. Nothing has been agreed as to what the rules will be and I very much doubt the clubs will vote in something that will penalise the majority of themselves. If, and it is an if, something does come in...

    Let's protest

    I think the best idea was a boycott of the Derby game - its on telly so you can still watch it and the Sky cameras might notice an empty stadium (well even emptier), the only lost revenue to the club would be the 2-3000 walk ups as the season ticket money has long since been borrowed against...

    Fans forum

    It's obvious the board and our owners don't care about what happens on the pitch so why not just stop bullshitting and admit it? Will a cessation of monthly losses at the cost of relegation constitute a successful season for the board?

    Gael signs contract extension!

    OSB - you seem to have a handle on this player valuation in the accounts thing and I understand that the value of the player ie his transfer fee is divided over the length of his contract but what happens if his contract is renewed? ie Bell signed for £500k on 3 year contract so value written...

    Birmingham want Ben Turner 2-3Mil

    Not sure how much credence there is in this - Brum may have a v small squad but they have just taken on Spector, and have Ridgewell, Caldwell and Curtis Davies all of whom can play centre back. Maybe Ridgwell is joining the exodus? With such a small squad cannot see any player exchange deal nor...

    Whats Happened To Sheffers?

    To me Sheff is a busted flush who contributes little most of the time, is a liability some of the time and occasionally does something special. In our current state he's a luxury we cannot afford - we need 90 minute players who are willing to bust a gut for the cause - we lack overall quality...

    Sisu protest

    The fans have been so ground down over the years by Richardson, Robinson et al that any fight has been just extinguished - doubt we will have 100 going to the Palace game let alone going on a protest march

    Leicester Fans Celebration

    I am sure Health and Safety officers at the 'king Stadium will crack down on it as once all those sets of six fingers get interlocked its just a tragic accident waiting to happen.

    Sisu - is it just possible they are doing it right ?

    I agree Tommy that maybe SISU are trying to create a sustainable business but I just cannot see how thats possible in this division without new players. I suspect that they have taken the simple view that the numbers who will turn up come what may will be about 7 - 10 k and they will turn up in...

    Fans Forum in Kenilworth

    Probably haven't paid ACL for the last one they had at the Ricoh and their account is now on stop.

    Sisu protest

    Hopefully I will be there les-mis and youre right its a starting point to at least make these people know that we do care about our club and its survival

    Gunnarsson!

    Got to agree with you PVA - compared with Bell, Baker and McSheff he looked world class but he's left us so he must be crap - isn't that always the way?

    Fans Forum in Kenilworth

    Brinner and Otis - I realise selling players would give us some money but Clouting and Doolaly have stated that we will be breaking even not just finding new ways of covering the monthly losses. These geniuses seem to think they can turn us around and run at a break even level - I just want to...

    Fans Forum in Kenilworth

    Andy Thorn and Clouting are attending a fans forum on 11th August at the Kenilworth Wardens - there are 150 places available and to apply for a tickets you have to register, state your question if you have one. So all questions will be censored and thereby answers sanitised - freedom of speech...

    Sisu protest

    Hardly likely to happen Macca - they have been offered a way out by Hoffman and haven't been tempted yet so to walk away and write of the £24m in loans their investment funds have given to SBS&L is not going to happen.
