    Monday morning CCFC thoughts

    "If we had money to spend, then i do not think he is the man for the job but he is doing a sterling job with the resources to hand. " Think that kind of sums it up for a lot of people Covstu

    We're really a mid-table side

    Think things have changed for AT. If you like the "honeymoon" period is well and truly over for a number of fans. It is almost as if it has changed from what he says (ie its positive and honest) to the way in which what he says is received being the important thing (the doubt that fans have...

    Please let this be true...

    Dont think it is just about the money. I know NI do not have a vast player pool to choose from but I think for his international and professional aspirations Clingan wouldnt want to be playing in Div 1. I cant blame him for taking his time or even letting the contract run down. He has to do what...

    We're really a mid-table side

    I think it was said more to keep fan confidence than players but can accept that as the intention NLHWC. However neither fans nor players are incapable of thought and the AT comments are not based on any real facts. It can come across as something of a fantasy it could actually hinder confidence...

    Monday morning CCFC thoughts

    First off disappointed - we have no right to expect to beat Doncaster, but from the reports from friends who went and from listening to the radio we were never going to win. Yes we had a few chances but it seemed to be against the run of play - certainly the goal was. You could sense that a...

    We're really a mid-table side

    Sorry but could have, should have, would have are not worth anything it is a complete waste of time looking back that way and justifying us as a better team than we are. The fact is we didnt get those points and we cannot go back and change it. We are in the bottom 3 because overall we have...

    Attendances are not that bad!!

    not exactly what I said ccfcway :) ...... but southampton because they are doing so well are likely to bring a good support and that might increase the crowd above say the level of swansea (13481)or qpr(17678) last year and that way keep the average up.......... never going to be a full house...

    Attendances are not that bad!!

    Trouble is Rich that 800 equates to £350K income and makes a big difference to us. Attendances are down all over the place so its not just us but it hurts us because our finances are so poor Its disappointing that Leeds is a night game there were 28000 there last year I cant see that being the...

    PFA Backs Tevez

    Am i wrong in thinking that it is essential for players to warm up before playing? so that they are ready to take a full part without as much risk of injury. Is it not expected of all professional sports people that they prepare properly for their match or event. How many sports people actually...

    Would you trust sisu with the half ownership of the ground?

    Just a thought Everyone assumes that buying 50% of ACL from the Higgs Charity will improve cashflow. Well I have, i think cast significant doubt on that previously because of the mechanism to withdraw cash (dividends) not being possible as yet. If you read what KD says in last CT report on...

    Meet the Manager

    Yes he did damage his spine playing for us. But other players have been seriously injured playing for us only to be told there was no new contract Looking at it coldly and harshly we dont pay players because they broke their back.... we sign them to play regular football for the club...

    Finances - a guess at where we are this financial year

    I know what you are saying shmmeee. I kind of based it on the turnover figures and attendance in total for 2010. All the turnover isnt bums on seats but with the lack of any other analysis i used that for a calculated guess. That came out at more than £20 per person. The average gates have...

    Would you trust sisu with the half ownership of the ground?

    I think Dulieu can say what he likes BSB the fact is the Council have made it clear they are not for selling their 50%. I wouldnt trust KD & co with ownership or control of the stadium they work for the investors SISU funds who need an exit strategy to get a return. It is highly unlikely that...

    Finances - a guess at where we are this financial year

    Think folk need to realise that income potentially being down £1m for the year has a big effect on the ability to bring players in. The club needed to get the finances right, are right to do so, but my guess is didnt build in such a drastic fall in gate income (11% or more). This only adds to...

    Finances - a guess at where we are this financial year

    nope wingy nor the effects of any changes in sponsorship. Is all guesswork - really what I was showing is that financially things have improved, the damage that low attendances cause, and that cashflow doesnt require £500k pm The better the figures get the more saleable the club is ...... but...

    Would you trust sisu with the half ownership of the ground?

    to begin with there would be no income from owning 50% but in time there could be depending how successful the arena becomes. As to how much well that depends on how well it does. I agree Prem team would be a boost , no team a disaster - but CCFC wont go bust because of the council. If it...
