Game in hand as well.....

Definitely an upgrade, but time to move on regarding burge. I think he did his best when here, was selected by a number of managers, so was (probably) best we had at the time. Came through our academy, so no real cost and a boost to our reputation as another player we have developed. Wish him...

Not very good odds I'm afraid! Yes, that is the obvious next step, more legal battles/appeals....

If wasps can't pay it, and can't issue more bonds (again OSB and others can comment better on this), I think Sisu 'could' afford it, but given they have proven unlikely to pay previous asking prices, then unlikely. And, as you say, can't see the council wanting to sell to Sisu. But, if they have...

Fair points, of course, but playing devils advocate here - it's a rule that larger clubs who own grounds won't be as concerned about, whereas smaller clubs, including those coming up through the pyramid are more likely to be concerned about as they may rent from the council. And, a council can...

(I think - expect people with more knowledge to amend) related to the sale of the Ricoh to wasps at a value below market value (in reality, a subsidy from local government, which isn't allowed under EU). Basically, the council (who on behalf of Coventry taxpayers) owned the Ricoh and sold it for...

Not pen is (sorry, couldn't resist).

Not sure why he would consider it at the moment. He seems happy, playing games (has seen lots of mates move on too early and struggle). Would the probable increase in salary make up for it - or a way of encouraging a new pay rise....or perhaps as nick says, paper talk about a player in good...

I have similar problems with modern technology!

Can nick alter your title, from well known member !

I've got friends who are season ticket holders at Bristol - don't seem to think Walsh would get in squad (guess that's why he is on loan), so whilst they have a recall, not sure they will use it, as he is getting games/development and guess we are contributing towards his wages.

I'd even let the insects rent the Ricoh if we owned it to earn some money for the sky blues!

Extra policing we would pay for (I think), local residents...clubs don't always seem to care about - the embarrassment is probably the biggest issue for them! Personally, I'd share my ground to earn an extra million or two (no idea if that figure is accurate), for the potential embarrassment of...

True, but if we get promoted, they are competing with us regardless. 'helping' us by hosting our home games is nice - but they are getting money that helps their club. If they think it'll make a difference to how they compete in the league, of course they won't accept. I just think...

If Sisi continue with the reported not investing or withdrawing funds, what happens to the extra money? If robins is allowed to spend on higher wages and fees that would help - but our players may have promotion clauses for wages and payments too. And...Sisu may want some cash back. The ground...

What threat are we by being in the same ground? We aren't going to steal fans, we give them some of our revenue - both help them. If we played at (for example, not a suggestion!), Walkers crisp bowl, they lose revenue and we still play away from cov.

Who knows - how much are they earning from us (is it about a million)? If so, can they afford to not accept it? Don't know the deal, but do they get a cut of f&b and parking? Would sponsors like it? If so, Birmingham might be happy enough?

Some good points here. I've just checked statzone (a couple of years out of date), but looks at trends of relegation following promotion. 40 per cent chance of relegation once getting to premier, but a out 20 per cent for the championship. Whilst we won't be a strong team, two other teams coming...

True, but not every team has just been relegated. We've got to hope for promotion, then a season (or 2 or 3..) of consolidation in the champ, finishing between 10th and 19th, hoping the ground situation resolved itself and we become gradually stronger as a team. I would expect our team (with a...

Happy Christmas everyone and PUSB
