    Another Nice..but this time in Berlin

    Thanks for that; yes, I never read or watch the news. I've never watched Question Time or similar and I've never researched an issue to try and form my opinion for myself - probably because I'm stupid and naive. Carry on hating if that's what makes you happy. EDIT: Go ahead, you guys have the...

    Another Nice..but this time in Berlin

    So if I disagree with you I'm ignorant, naive, buy simple answers, I'm stupid and I believe anything I'm told? You deduced all that without even knowing me. I'm surprised I'm not nasty too. I'd ask you to do just one thing: take a look at the values that the left is supposed to hold and then...

    The personal tax year ends in April. Corporations are different. Their end of year is usually on the anniversary of when they form.

    Alan Hutton

    John Terry hasn't been released either; surely he's a better option than both of them?

    Cost of Sales

    Huge time lag in operation here. If it takes 10 years from finding the players until they are sold, we will only see the full effect from 2023.

    Cost of Sales

    Do we think that the stream of talent will dry up now Rioch has gone?

    Cost of Sales

    So if that's correct, in reality there is little profit in these numbers. There's a profit for CCFC, but only because it's subsidised by the very clubs taking our assets.

    Cost of Sales

    As we seem to be settling into a pattern of selling the cream of our youth team as they start to get into the first team, I'm interested in the costs to the club to generate the income. If we assume we train the kids from 8 to 18 (random assumption) and we recoup £1.5m per year from sales, how...

    Cian Harries to Liverpool?

    Nah, we just happen to have two desirable assets this year. My guess is that all the kids that can be sold will be sold each year.

    OK, I'll be wearing a red carnation.

    Another Nice..but this time in Berlin

    You've proved my point; seemingly unable to accept that the left's heroes aren't OK and instead attacking the left's villains; you've come back with the stereotypical left wing dogma: - Very few feminists are doing anything about muslim repression of women. The silence is deafening. We hear...

    Ben Stevenson - Brentford

    IF we invested the money in the team then I'd agree, but we don't. £1m profit Fisher says - the Madison money. And by stating it as profit he's making it very clear: this money will not be invested in the team.

    Ben Stevenson - Brentford

    Every club sells players and so every club is a selling club. The difference between then and now is that previously we hung onto players until it made sense to sell - for our benefit. What we do now is sell immediately that anyone has any value. And over the past few years the only value we...

    Another Nice..but this time in Berlin

    This is not personal about anyone here and I know that some of the comments here are from intelligent people. I'm generalising. The conversation going on here exhibits exactly why I have a problem with the 'left wing' and the Labour party. Many of the fans get stuck on topics and groups and...

    Ben Stevenson - Brentford

    I won't make the obvious points about building a team for the future or reinvesting to get promoted because it won't happen. However, Brentford being interested is good for the price IMO. I can't believe there's not a premier league side who don't fancy a punt on him and they would pay as...

    Nathan Clarke

    They do. And he was arguing with several posters along the lines of "yes I did", "no you didn't": Dongalez; Toni1911; DonquiEspagnol; CornwallBantz... There was also a bloke called Opus who just wrote witty one-liners in the style of Christmas crackers.

    Fisher Yesterday

    SISU would love it if we were promoted, it's just not number 1 priority. Priority 1: Win a court case and get back all the money they lent the club and more. 2: If any other weasel scheme becomes available grab it with both hands and care not a jot for those that would lose something. 3: Don't...
