Difficult for these youngsters. Being offered 10,15 times or more their current wages. It's the same for these academy players who are plundered from non-PL academies - parents offered all sorts of incentives.Yet overwhelming percentage end up in lower league (often non-league) football...

Keep saying this. Club rugby overrates its appeal to large audiences.

Lot of nonsense on here about Richardson.was all over the Ricoh move. Acted like there was a bottomless pit of someone else's money on tap. Wasn't he one of the highest paid directors in div 1 when we were in it? don't even think he had any money in the club -a GR appointment. Moving back to HR...

Wasn't Keys for a null void season -harsh on his team but fair for the majority of teams. Muppet

For all the finances etc in the Championship i do think there are quite a lot of ordinary managers in it.

Seriously how far back do you go for good chairman? None spring to mind last 20 odd years possibly all the way back to Poynton (who had his faults)

Think it came out in one of the judicial reviews that Yorkshire Bank weren't prepared to write off anything and SISU were looking to restructure but nothing came of it. Both sides were talking to the bank. Weren't there emails about keeping SISU talking/busy whilst other side tried to put...

SISU did what they'd do with any business they took over. Stopped it haemorrhaging money then restructured it. Cost of this was a drop through the leagues before bouncing back. They never claimed to be anything other than a hedge fund looking to turn us around financially before selling us on...

Likes the Specials as well as City. That's a top man :)

I met some guys in Senegal when i had some business there. They had got City shirts in a similar way. Became fans, used to get an hour of internet a day and use it to follow the club, had changed their village side's colours to Sky Blue. Also saw old City shirts in Zimbabwe.

Fine but Wasps haven't met their proposed income streams and CCFC won't pay for a share that could be valued based on income / revenue they might add to Ricoh in the future.

i'd think the Bond issue would be a sizeable problem when it came to valuing the stadium - what a part share would be worth against what they've said it's worth for the sake of the bond financing

Big difference between profitable and equitable

Has to be the 2nd one - business / economics 101 a longer lease is a game changer. In the real world a 250 year lease for a stadium that probably has a life span of 50 years is just a paper exercise.

Didn't want on the terms that were available at the time. If the same deal as Wasps ended up with had been on the table then then that's a completely different scenario.

PL Rugby is in trouble. They've just imposed around a million cut in the salary cap. Our problem is higher we move up the leagues the more important it is to have control of a stadium income - not just match day. We move back to the Ricoh and things like naming rights jump in value of which we...

that'd be good

He's been terrific - hopefully he goes onto bigger and better things as well

wouldn't be surprised if Fleetwood and Oxford caved and had just been paying lip service to carrying on

Honestly think if the break hadn't happened we'd have cruised home.. Definitely best side in the league at that point -league position was just the confirmation of it, Management done a great job in making the required tweaks from last season.
