    I know that it was a case of adapting our playing style to suit the environment, but looking back at how we played in league 2 to now is significantly different and I can't help think that AV has been central to that change.

    Premiership relegation. Who do we want down.

    Thinking strategically for CCFC. I'd like to see Bournemouth go down, so they sell Callum Wilson, Leicester down....sell James Maddison [almost impossible, I know] and Norwich [so we can beat them]. Strangely, it might help us secure O'Hare is Villa stay up.....I'm almost chocking at that...

    SISU

    Noooooo - we've been doing well without him being higher profile. I hope he doesn't spout off now and spoil the summer with his b******t.

    Season Tickets

    If the provisional start date for next season is September, I would guess that 6 weeks before that date.

    Retained players list

    I understand that this will be released quite soon, so it'll be interesting to see who MR wants to retain. I presume the club will invoke the 1 year extension to Westbrooke's contract, but at the same time try and tie him down to a longer deal. Some other players might have new deals offered to...

    Season Tickets

    I'll be renewing and happy to donate the balance of this seasons ticket to the club. I'm happy to renew without knowing where/when we are playing.....that can wait. It might be a case to help the club of being able to pay a deposit for the ST....say 20% of cost now and the balance later, when...

    Budget

    I would guess our wage bill this year was £3.5-£4M and we reportedly spent £400k on Matty Godden. The business model for the club has consistently been stated as "living within the income generated". So, assuming each club in the Championship receives £7M...and for the first half of the season...

    Happy League Champions Day

    Who's up for driving up to the Stadium of Light and driving round the car park with horns blaring and scarfs hanging out of the window :happy: Perhaps - Covid City Centre is a better idea!

    Surely Mark won’t go

    It's a case of "better the .....owner ...you know"! Blues seems prime for a raid by the fraud squad....allegedly.

    Line up for championship next season

    When we were playing with four across the back early season, we got exposed to the counter attack as our full backs were overlapping forwards. Hence there were times when the counter attack was facing only 2 defenders. The shift to a central 3 defenders gave us more cover, but I obviously...

    8 years progress or regression

    Different context and business environment this time.

    8 years progress or regression

    BCD will mean no income until fans are allowed back, so designate Ryton as our home ground that will ensure home advantage? Alternatively, paying a lot of money to Wasps and perpetuate their ownership of the Ricoh seems a backward step, especially considering the crap pitch they preside over...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Good question, but I'm not sure they can as I thought I had read that we had already extended the loan periods of the three loanees to the end of July already. If I'm wrong someone please correct me.

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    The Barnsley proposal goes against the edit from the FA, who state there must be promotion and relegation.

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    Interesting analysis. Given that Lincoln have announced their released players list, I doubt they are in any position to play on. Doncaster & Wycombe have questioned the costs of playing on and Bristol Rovers are clearly nuts as only wanting to play on, so they can assess their squad.....seems...

    Positivity

    You've got to be more positive when you're top of the league! Next season could be a big opportunity for us to secure our place in the championship with some teams hit harder than us in financial terms. If we can secure our own home, either by Wasps going bust and us snaffling up the Ricoh or...

    Ryton

    Let’s designate Ryton as our home ground for the period we have to play BCD . That’ll ensure home advantage

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    The easing of the lockdown is bound to increase the incidence of cases. It’s interesting to note the reports of children being mainly asymptomatic and potentially 40% of people testing postive were also asymptomatic. In terms of death rates - whilst the numbers of younger aged people dying is...

    EFL to end season this week - City likely to be promoted

    It’s a sign that the sky blues have shattered the premise that the teams with the largest budgets get promoted
