    McNulty

    tbh McNulty couldn't hit a barn door for a long period before suddenly finding a golden streak (in league 2) where he hit the back of the net consistently for the rest of the season drawing attention from Reading. Reading never really gave him much opportunity or put their trust in him enough as...

    This sounds likely

    Jordan Willis

    Willis, very good defender. brings the ball out of defense. Will ping one over the top or cross field accurately. Quick, intelligent player. Needs a no nonsense guy next to him for the perfect pairing. Yes ready for Championship.

    Bright and Bayliss 3m?

    I read that there are plenty of suitors for Bayliss, favourite being Villa with a tag of 2.5/3m. Is that a fair price? Also we are still very interested in Bright coming back. Will Bayliss departure give us the funds to bring in Bright and what would Wolves ask for him? Based on last season...

    Robins speaks !

    A good rallying call from the manager.What else could he do? He has to show players and fans we are very much still in business. The reality will be somewhat different when as we wake up this time next year and realise we once again face no ground to play in and there is no money to sustain us...

    Will Robins consider his postion?

    You need to do the math. Season ticket sales will be way down by being in Birmingham. It's more likely also that the 'deal' at Brum is more costly than the Ricoh with all other cost associated with it, like policing cost etc. Last season our average gate was over 12k with many walk ups. Brum...

    Talks Back On....

    For the life of me I did not see how WASP stance was in anyway helpful to their own cause in the first place. The EC complaint will run regardless. To lose a tenant and the windfall of cash that brings with it is utterly foolish. And their own standing in the community will be trashed. CCFC...

    Will Robins consider his postion?

    I'm of the belief that he thought we would get a deal at the Ricoh. He brought in new coaches and has set about signing new players. It just became a little harder to secure one or two of those other signing targets. Convincing any player the club has a secure future can not be easy to sell. He...

    Will Robins consider his postion?

    In the light of ground sharing with Birmingham for this season, and the prospect that we could be in the same position for a few seasons longer (with EFL sanction) what must be going through his mind? We are going to lose income affecting squad building. Convincing and signing players has...

    Why will they not sell up

    I'm just fantasing here folks, but if I had the backing of some 50/60m, and lets face it not a huge amount by todays values I would buy up WASP along with the stadium and then buy out SISU for around the 25m or so they seek in order to exit. Now you have the lot including a very valuable asset...

    Why will they not sell up

    Major one city club with historical premier league status An excellent stadium and infrastructure Local catchment area in excess of 500k (the wider area of being central midlands over 2 million) A 250 year lease Expansion plans already approved Brand Premier league rugby football club comes with...

    Why will they not sell up

    The football club is very salable. That golden share is worth money. New owners would almost certainly be back at the Ricoh. New owners with a little extra cash (unlike Hofman's consortium) would be able to offer WASP a tempting offer for some ownership or an owner with say 60 to 70m could...

    St Andrews confirmed!

    There is conflicting reports from different sources and it will be clarified eventually. But in a climate of fake news it's difficult to draw any real conclusion as to what has brought a potential deal to ultimately fail. Presently it would seem WASP changed the goalpost and insisted on further...

    Club Statement regarding EFL vote and stadium situation

    No not amazing for CCFC but on the face of it should the Ricoh become publicly available again then I don't see many tenants able to fill or make use of such a venue if WASP bowed out...do you? the obvious choice is the football club which the stadium was originally built for. Can't see a...

    Club Statement regarding EFL vote and stadium situation

    IF they win through the European process then the outcome would be catastrophic for WASP and the council. Do WASP have a considerable cash pot? I'd suggest the Ricoh may well end up on a 'To Let' sign once more.

    Mark Robins

    I would be very surprised if Robins went. Flattered maybe but the last time that fell flat very quickly. He can stay with a high probability of getting CCFC into the Championship anyway next season, or go and fight a relegation battle and even end up in league 1 with Swansea. I just don't think...

    Club Statement regarding EFL vote and stadium situation

    Would you go quietly if your house was sold off for pennies on the dollar to someone else behind your back? Oh yes SISU had plenty of opportunity before WASP, but they stupidly allowed that boat to sale making a gargantuan mistake in the process. But we are where we are now. There is evidence...

    The penny dropping?

    What the EC will be looking at is the legal position regarding State Aid.
