    Another one !!! - Ben Wilson

    Obviously that's probably the case. I do think it's weird that we're offering long term contracts to the likes of Wilson though, as realistically can you see him staying here for 3 years? He's nearly 27 and this is his 13th club? I'm not judging the club's recruitment process by the way, as I'm...

    Another one !!! - Ben Wilson

    He may not fully understand the seriousness of the situation though as you don't know what info is being fed to these players. If we're saying we're doing our upmost to ensure that CCFC are playing at the Ricoh next season, but there's a risk we'll be playing at X, Y or Z then it's up to the...

    New Keeper signed! Marko Marosi

    I'm more talking about the style of play expertly showcased by the Pickford's and Ederson's of this world. Keepers who are almost used as both an outfield player and a GK. Hence why I stated that Oggy isn't really qualified to teach such a skillset, as really his knowledge is limited in this...

    Either today or yesterday. I wouldn't read too much into it. He probably just isn't fully aware of the situation.

    New Keeper signed! Marko Marosi

    Oggy was fine as a GK coach. But with the emergence of the modern goalkeeper, Oggy's expertise is limited. That's no slight on Oggy, keepers in his generation weren't asked to play from the back, but rather boot it up field. Even if he didn't retire, due to his lack of knowledge in this...

    Video Ben Wilson | His first Sky Blues interview!

    That's the spirit CCFC. Lie through your teeth, get them to sign on the dotted line, deal with the rest later.

    Video Ben Wilson | His first Sky Blues interview!

    Seems to have loved playing at the Ricoh last season. From his language I got the impression he had no idea about the situation so I think someone might need to give him an update on that one.

    Another one !!! - Ben Wilson

    Seems like a standard No.2. Around 30 apps in his career. Not great considering he's nearly 27. Had a few loan spells at League One clubs at Wimbledon, Rochdale and obviously Bradford. Pretty uninspiring but can't expect a marquee name when you're bringing in a back up GK. Glad we've addressed...

    Next Seasons Confirmed Squad/Transfer Rumours

    It did cross my mind. But I think that’s highly unlikely, in the short term anyway. The only way they’d sell is if they were 100% confident that the EC will find something in their investigation.

    Next Seasons Confirmed Squad/Transfer Rumours

    We weren't paying 7 figure rental fees each year at Sixfields though. We left the Ricoh because of that exact reason. You might know better than me but I just can't see that happening.

    Next Seasons Confirmed Squad/Transfer Rumours

    What about the cost of the annual rental fee, the drop in commercial revenue and the drop in ticket sales. Are they covering that as well? As realistically they'll have to cover more than the playing budget if we move to St. Andrews. You're looking at an equity injection that would reach into...

    Rumour has it you don’t even have to apply. You just walk in, sit down and start typing.

    The Ricoh..

    SISU won't retain a depreciative portfolio that's dropping down the leagues like a stone for 7 years as they'll be at risk of losing more money themselves. Even administration and liquidation comes at a price. If it isn't in the best interests of themselves, the club won't move to Birmingham...

    The Ricoh..

    Well it would be an expensive deal if it's the only groundshare available. It's a typical demand and supply scenario - if a consumer looks to purchase (or in our case rent) something that is rare, they have to pay a higher price.

    The Ricoh..

    I wasn't told specific figures. Only that it was "unaffordable."

    The Ricoh..

    I was told back in April that initial talks broke down due to the cost of the rental agreement. The commercial agreement wasn't exactly favourable either. The cost both figuratively and literally will be hugely damaging for the club.

    Next Seasons Confirmed Squad/Transfer Rumours

    To be honest neither can I, I literally pulled that from thin air. I personally think whatever budget we'll have will be dependant on a combination of hoping Wilson is sold and Bayliss being moved on. Hardly comforting if that's what the club is basing its annual budgets on though - things that...

    Next Seasons Confirmed Squad/Transfer Rumours

    What, the previous income that's already been spent? I highly doubt that. It boils down to 3 separate possibilities. Either we're selling our key assets, the club has knowledge of an impending Wilson sale or they're confident of a Ricoh deal being agreed. The only other possibility is, and it's...

    Next Seasons Confirmed Squad/Transfer Rumours

    How can we have an exciting summer ahead with regards to transfers when we have no idea on income or budgets for the forthcoming season. The huge drop in commercial revenue and ST's will cost the club massively due to the ground share. I'm genuinely fascinated to know how the club think they're...
