Cardiff v Huddersfield TV game today and is the first match in a while that means absolutely nothing to us. Most TV games have meant “if x beats y then the game against z becomes important because z can catch us / can rest players etc.”. This one: zilch. Hang on…. If Hudds win then...

What’s that? £3m per year?. Earns his money, Robins.

Those plans for 15000-20000 modular stadiums. Shudder. 32000 wasn’t a big enough stadium today.

Is the Gyok celebration a “Bane” (dark knight Batman) reference or “Predator” reference or what? Any ideas?

Good spot. Didn’t realise. Gotta love Wilson. On all the “Sky Blues Unseen” vids he’s constantly smiling and buzzing - just what we need in the club as a whole.

Birmingham area has quite a few clubs (Brum / Villa, arguably WBA) and possibly Solihull. I’d argue that Cov has huge potential support if you bolt on Nuneaton, Leam, Warwick etc. I don’t think there’s many bigger cities than us with only one club that also has big satellite towns it can tap...

I reckon they rest Akpom. Because they can and it’s sensible. That’s the pickle. We can’t rest Gyok.

Vik scores 1 next week and Wilson keeps a clean sheet then my absolute guess works out.

Sunderland and WBA results bad. Being in playoffs before last match was ideal, we could have technically rested players. Boro perfect scenario: rest players and let us win knowing they will play us next two matches. Also perfect for them: Gyok injured, Hamer suspended for semi(s). I...

To suggest SISU couldn’t find the money is nonsense. They could have raised the finance. As an absolute last resort they had assets in the form of players. (And bridged the finance if need be) Read it back.

Right ho. Don’t be a Sasshole. Grow up. Take the feedback. Cordially.

I’m merely stating that SISU under normal conditions could have raised the money had they been not caught flat footed. To suggest that no one else would pay £16/£18m? What? Doug bid more. The EA that MA locked out other bidders. The stadium not worth £18m? How much to build a new one...

There’s a load of utter drivel on here that there was no way SISU could have raised 18m£ if they had the opportunity. At that time, Vik, Gus, Cal (not injured) were worth far more and could have been pre-sold and the contracts raised funds on. Plus the stadium itself was an asset on which...

Swansea worth a tenner.

With Robins’s favourite Allen on the bench last week I half expected him to start today with Eccles dropping to the bench. Maybe reading too far into things but with Eccles being the pre-match feature interview it looks like that’s not the case and we will start unchanged. Can’t see Godden...

The BBC press guy Gilbert said he’d seen strong evidence else he wouldn’t report on it. I’m going with SISU we’re stupid, signed an EA, got caught flat footed. The EA was time limited and had expired by the time King cruised in. Storey was claiming that King was negotiating during the EA...

SISU didn’t need real money to buy the stadium for sub £20m. Getting finance for the premises you occupy and are paying rent on (and then having additional revenue streams) is a lot easier than just borrowing against fresh air. It’s like buying your council house: asset at less than market...

I’ve no idea either TBF, thought that he did and SISU thought he did - whatever. Either way, SISU missed the boat. They could have owned the stadium for £20m and a club in the play off places for the jackpot.

Just a reminder: If this bogan hadn’t tied SISU in an exclusivity deal then SISU might have bought the stadium (I’m sure they could have raised the cash) and a 5 year license not be applicable. Joy / Tim only had to do a bit of Google to realise their folly before signing that EA. TRAGIC...

I’ll try to find out what’s happening there - I’ve got some staff who have a bit of low level inside intel. There’ll be others who will no doubt jump in to bail out SUFC now that they have “guaranteed” prem income for a bit. It’s a nice thought that they could have a points deduction though...
