So hang on, CCFC's contribution to Wasps is negligible, they apparently don't need us there and their business plan works fine without us. But they aren't signing a multi-million pound naming rights deal as CCFC haven't agreed a long term deal to stay which will increase the value of the rights...

That's the problem, its a business plan that relies on pumping millions in hoping for promotion, and even then tens of millions in loans from the owner have been written off, and then managing to stay up once there. Great if it works but not so good for all the other teams using the same plan...

Have to say 43 is a very poor effort by our fans. You even get something for donating, if you choose to have a reward. Even if you don't want a reward you get a certificate of thanks emailed to you. Portsmouth got 5494 backers and they were giving rewards like a virtual square of the academy pitch.

Didn't have much interest in this but the trailer has done its job on me. Looks worth a watch.

I haven't made it through last weeks yet. Might wait until the end of the series and see what people's thoughts are as to if it's worth sticking with.

The republicans who keep on about her emails might want to look at Bushs emails, oh hang on they can't as thousands of them mysteriously disappeared.

Strange that they put that in the accounts. Didn't think you were allowed to lie in the accounts but italia has been telling us for months the deal is done.

Nobody is deflecting anything from SISU, merely pointing out that suggesting spending tens of millions you don't have in an attempt to gain promotion is not a sound business strategy. It may have got Southampton promoted but it will fail for more clubs than it will succeed leaving them with huge...

FFS its not really that complicated. a) If every club in the championship accrues losses of ~£10m a year in an attempt to go up and only 3 can go up what happens to the others? It might seem a great business plan if it pays off, what if it doesn't? b) They haven't earned all the money back...

That's the whole point. Things have to change so that clubs are forced to be self sufficient. That in itself will make fan ownership a viable prospect for many clubs. If you don't do it you have 21 clubs making that investment and failing to get promoted.

We're not talking about how much clubs make in the PL, we all know they get millions off Sky. We're talking about living beyond your means in an attempt to get to the PL which obviously can't work for every club as there are only three promotion spots. That is being held up in the article as...

How many replays are televised?

Week on Tuesday most likely. Isn't there some rule in the FA Cup about not being able to drop prices?

Clem. How is he still in a job?

Given how important managers say set pieces are it looks like we never practice ours. Our corners and free kicks are shocking. Even struggle with throw ins. How often do you see someone holding the ball with nobody to throw it to.

So they've left the athletics seating in and then put in seating for football, with higher tiers, in front? That seems far from the most efficient system. If you look at american stadiums which are multiuse they just remove a section of seats and off you go.

The referendum act was very clear but for some reason people now seem to want to ignore what was agreed on. May should have got it straight in to parliament and a vote taken. The longer she hangs about the more likely that MPs will vote the other way and claim people have changed their minds.

What's with the seats that are covered up?
