    Doug King Takeover

    It was really positive to hear that any future loans will be interest free and the club is currently free of debt, which provides MR with stability. However, King is very careful with his words as you would expect from a smart businessman. What he didn’t refer to was potential dividend payments...

    Not necessarily. Last week when playing in midfield he failed to track back on a number of occasions leaving Dabo (who was struggling) with two players to cover

    If Cuffey plays tomorrow I hope he's been learning that he has to defend at times!

    Ben Wilson

    Unfortunately, I credited Wilson with improved shot stopping earlier today. However, the second goal showed poor technique as he dived over the ball. Schoolboy error!

    Ben Wilson

    Wilson shot stopping has improved this season, but he doesn't command his penalty area and is poor on crosses. I'm struggling to think of any crosses outside his 6 yard box that he's claimed this season. As a number 2 he's okay, but we definitely need a better keeper on crosses if only to take...

    Sheff Utd - Umbongo'd

    I wonder who they owe money too? It's reported for a player bought last year and they've failed to pay an instalment on that transfer.

    Doug King Takeover

    Exactly, both Doug & MR in all their comms are managing expectation levels. MR has continued with the messaging of "incremental improvements". They obviously want us, as the fan base, to not get too excited and expect big changes in the short term.

    Doug King Takeover

    I hoping that in the short term MR doesn’t have to endure stupid “fire sales” like Hyam and has some financial stability within the club. For once in his life here MR might be able to fully concentrate on developing the playing side of the club. As for Fisher - glad see him resign. He had to be...

    Transfer Rumour Outgoings?

    If he went to Derby we would still pay a proportion of his wages.

    CCFC wages v other Championship clubs 20-21

    I’ve read the thread, but I think some are not taking into account the context of these figures. Obviously our current wage level will be higher than 2021, but I would expect it will not be at a level in the top half of the Championship. The impact of this means MR has less choice in the...

    CCFC wages v other Championship clubs 20-21

    This has been posted by Keiren MaGuire today [who is usually a reliable source for financial information] and highlights the amazing job MR & his coaching team have done to sustain this club in the Championship.

    Doug King Takeover

    Grendel has made some good points regarding the prospective takeover. The prospects of the EFL trying to clarify details of ownership within Doug King and SISU's [who'll still have significant holding in CCFC] is daunting and no wonder it's taking time. The EFL will not only have to check that...

    O'Hare

    The danger with the rehab from any major injury is the potential for imbalances between the muscle groups. So whilst the initial injury is dealt with there are possible problems with the ancillary muscles, due to losing condition or alternatively being a lot stronger than those in the same area...

    Not sure that selling Vik for £1m given his track record at that point was "cheap".....it might seem like that now, but some on here were questioning that fee.

    Given the loss of O'Hare, it'll be interesting to see if we change our tactical approach of playing with a high press. Allen is capable of harassing, but Waghorn is just too slow and not sure of Palmer is quite quick enough. Will MR change to playing Waghorn just behind Vik and play some longer...

    Gyokeres

    I agree that there will be a sell on clause to benefit Brighton, but I'm not sure that it'll be any more than 15%. My reasoning being that his loan deal at Swansea was poor and whilst he improved here....he wasn't looking like a player capable of stepping up to the PL, which goes to show what a...

    Tonight's game with 4500 away fans looks like it could be a contender for worst boycott of the season.
