it's sounding like it has in which case paying back the loan, not accounting for interest, would mean we can only afford to pay 11 players. Let's hope we don't get any injurys next year :)

Save Our City could do worse than reach out to some former players. Froggy and Hucks have both spoken out on twitter so they may put their names to it. Now the campaign has been shown to be peaceful and well managed it can't hurt to have a few 'names' on board.

Would talks need to take place with Higgs at this point tho? Isn't that a set formula for the price, if that's the case any actual talks would need to be with the council if they wanted to buy the stadium outright. If / when they agree surely the purchase of the Higgs share would be straightforward.

it is the parent company that's in admin but according to reports on the deal they've got rid of him as they're under embargo and the league will only let them sign someone if they get rid of someone. something doesn't quite add up but if they haven't had points taken off by now they most likley...

says it all that noone at the club tells Thorn what's going on with transfers and he had to phone Mowbray himself. you could tell from his response to the Cody question that he finds out someones left the same time as the rest of us.

any idea how many tickets we get for Reading, seem to remember from last season there's quite a big away section. I'll be making the trip up from Portsmouth to 'back the boys'.

could be interesting but it depends how it's being run. at the ones they've had in Cov there's always been a buffer (Eakin or someone similar) between the powers that be and the fans asking the questions to stop things getting too messy but if this is going to be fans putting the questions...

while you wouldn't put anything past SISU where are they going to play if it's not the Ricoh? The Butts only holds 3K and isn't Nuneaton mostly standing? If the freefall continues and we end up in League 2 or worse then I'm sure there's a point at which a move to the Butts becomes a viable...

what happens with teams that go down, is it just a blanket rule? can't see how many teams with higher revenue in the championship and no limit on the wage bill would be under the limit if relegated. how are they supposed to get under the limit, not like they can just cancel contracts?

a lot of clubs put in a clause which would prevent him playing against us, let's see if SISU have the brains to do that.

Gardner had potential, that worked out well for us didn't it. guess this is the premiership loan they were banging on about last week. pretty sure when you say premiership loan to most people they don't picture a kid who hasn't played a game in the premiership!

doubt we'll get enough money for any decent replacements, prob be someone around Cody MacDonalds standard, he's hardly setting the team alight with his goal scoring. what happened to that player we were going to sign before Saturday. Surely SISU didn't make it up to try and stop people...

if you take a look at the photos there's no way there's 9K there. Plus the protest wasnt' a boycott it was missing the first 15 mins so anyone protesting would still be counted in the attendance.

having looked online I'm struggling to see where we've sold these 6000 tickets

don't think it would be an embargo in the same sense as the ones imposed by the league but if talks were in any way advanced there may well be an agreement between the two parties for no players to be sold.

think it's more their usual incompetence than anything to do with the protest.

I was, I've given up now!

I would normally say that some of the flack CWR and Eakin get is unfair but with the protest there does seem to be a bias towards the SISU / club and a playing down of any protest which seems at odds with the BBCs supposed neutral standpoint.

maybe they've using block 25 for the freebies? would be a bit odd for one block to sell out and the rest be empty.

if there's a chance he's getting a decent wage where he is there's no way he'll be coming here to be paid peanuts.
