    Away Ticket Points Scheme Unveiled!

    Any system which tries to allocate a limited resource is always going to upset somebody. I've just looked at the criteria and as I've had a season ticket for the past 4 years, it seems I get a good chance of away tickets. However, I only go to home matches...so that's one ticket that will be...

    Transfer Shouts

    His injury record since his his season with us has been terrible. I would be a big gamble to sign him and one we probably can't take.

    New Kit !

    I’m definitely in the group of supporters that never want to see a CCFC chocolate kit ever again. It reminds me of the 7-1 thrashing by West Brom…. Possibly my worst away experience

    Wasps downward spiral...

    How does the £13m comply with competition law or illegal state aid? Asking for a friend 😉

    Gyökeres Bids

    If Gyokeres is sold, which really hope doesn’t happen. It will be interesting to see if his rate of improvement is maintained. He’s definitely benefiting from our excellent coaching team

    Championship 22-23

    Agree - the owners used the same tactic as the Glazers to buy the club .... a leverage buy out, then transferring the debt to the club and charging over 8% interest

    Gyökeres Bids

    It’s a pretty incredible development from 18 months ago, when he arrived here on loan. A £1m signing to £10m within a year .... even by Argentinian inflation standards that’s a significant increase in value

    Gyökeres Bids

    Pasta has increased by 50% over the past year.... so, I make it up from £15m to £22.5m 😉

    Gyökeres Bids

    I would expect Brighton have a sell on clause in the sale of Gyokeres. That seems to be normal practice with fees. As for who might bid. I would think Fulham would be one, as their manager was complimentary of him from when we played them and they need to recruit another forward. However, would...

    Championship 22-23

    Good points raised. Whilst Burnley were careful in their transfer fees, they are reported to have an £85M wage bill which whilst modest for the PL looks pretty big by championship standards.

    Soupy Sam and the Toffee Lady

    I was lucky enough to catch a toffee before an Everton game. We also had prematch entertainment with the police dog handlers demonstrations . I remember buying a pie from walking around the pitch

    New Kit !

    Love the kit ..... reminds me of Ferguson and Wallace .

    There is a bit of leeway for the club, in that in terms of cash flow. If the final amount the agent insists on is the same as being fully paid for a year, then it's probably better for the club to spread the cost over the rest of his contract term and to make life as difficult, as possible...

    Or Coventry to Pompey to Shrewsbury in 4 months.....they seem to like ex-cov players??

    Championship 22-23

    Firstly, I'm not sure Burnley's owners are like the Coates family at Stoke, who finance the club by putting money in [at 0% interest] and reverting it to shares, so as to stay within FFP. The terms of the contract with libor + 8% paints a very different picture. Secondly, those terms in the...

    Championship 22-23

    Looking ahead to the teams in the Championship next season. We can once again expect the teams with parachute payments to be challenging to return to the PL. There may be one exception .....Burnley. Under the terms of the buy out of the club, who's owners used a leverage process [similar to...

    Retained list

    I'm guessing that the players he's not meeting face to face are retained ones and his feedback can be undertaken via video call.
