Surely either Sky or CWR (or both) will ask the question tonight. Assuming he hasn't resigned before the match!

This chaps obviously done his research!

You need to listen again, he was asked if the money had been reinvested in the team and very deliberately said it was in the club. Simple maths tells you that, if SP had that money yet has only 60% of the budget he had last season something doesn't add up.

I don't really see what playing Allsopp achieves. He doesn't appear to be that much better than Burge so we're basically developing someone else's player for them, what's in it for us? If he does any good he'll be back at Bournemouth and we'll be back at square one. Remember if Burge doesn't...

SP definitely quoted a % cut in playing budget this year on the fans forum, can't remember what % of the top of my head but it should be on iplayer if anyone wants to verify.

Was working in Bournemouth yesterday. They think Wilson is the second coming and are surprised we let him go so easily and cheaply. Hopefully they're just basing that on one match and in a couple of years time we're not all going to be looking back thinking what an incredibly bad decision we...

I find it hard to judge SP as there's too many unknowns. He stated at the fans forum that all transfer decisions were down to him, which I find very hard to believe. I can see him saying lets get rid of Callum so we can sign 3 - 6 proven players who can get us promotion but why would he be OK...

The idea of an empty ground is great but there is zero chance that will happen. So if we go down that route you might end up with a slightly lower than usual crowd but all anyone who's watching on Sky will think is that we can't be bothered to turn up. A big protest on the hill, even if just a...

I'm hoping the money gets paid on time and we have no more rubbish about banking errors or anything like that. If SISU get that paid and the deadline for the appeal passes without an appeal being lodged we might finally have some light at the end of the tunnel. At that point we can start putting...

It's absolutely correct to say that the past sale of the clubs share in ACL and the associated revenues is now irrelevant. Any deal made now will be starting from a blank sheet of paper but I think it is naive to expect that if ACL are sat opposite Sepalla, Fisher and Labovich both sides will...

It is only one game but there are also signs that cause concern. Yesterday just seemed to be a continuation of the poor form of the second half of last season down to letting in a winner so late in the game. I still have concerns about the defence and I can't see us being able to rely on scoring...

Where we are concerned assume the worst and you generally won't be too far out.

I didn't actually say that did I? You started off talking about the value of F&B revenues over the next 3 years. You then started on about stadium sponsorship which really has no impact on the club in a short term deal. The question I posed is that you can't know that Ricoh won't see a benefit...

Your main aim is to get a good ROI but there can be many paths to that. You may just want brand awareness, you may want to target a certain demographic who are likely to purchase your products. It could be numerous other things.

So basically you have no idea if Ricoh are intending to renew or not.

I wasn't aware it had expired, what is it called now if it's not the Ricoh Arena?

How difficult it would be would depend on whats already in place. As the stadium is in use for other events I would assume all the required H&S certificates are in place. The pitch must be there if other teams are using the ground. How many tickets have been sold? You could make it general...

Your argument is very strange. You're saying it is essential for us to get F&B revenues if we return but you then suggest they should be sold to us at a low price as they aren't worth much. You then dismiss other events that will most likely bring in more revenue than our matches as irrelevant...

I really hope all these rumours turn out to be true.

Good point. What generates more revenue, 10K turning up for a couple of hours on a Saturday for one of our home games or 10K turning up for Insomnia which runs for 3 days, all day and into the evening? I think the answer will be obvious so the question then becomes could ACL have booked...
