What's happening to Southampton makes me wonder what the point is in being a football supporter these days. Of course teams have always sold players, even the biggest teams, but Southampton have an owner who has said they will put more money in to get the club into the champions league but after...

When was it that all the contracts got changed? Didn't pay cuts happen then with it being moved to a lower basic salary and more performance related bonuses?

Based on just last season Daniels with 3. It's even worse if you look at our 2 seasons in L1 combined. Top scorers: Clarke 23 Wilson 22 Baker 19 Moussa 17 McGoldrick 16 Elliott 4 Fleck 4 Then your answer would be Fleck who last season managed 1 league goal.

He's scored 25 goals in 2 L1 seasons from Midfield, surely that has to be worth at least a token fee?

When they started down this road I remember posting that by now we should have seen them purchase land, full plans and a planning permission submission but that wouldn't mean the stadium was actually happening as that can all be done relatively quickly and easily and without chucking too much...

The only reason it is worth SISU continuing is if it's having any impact on ACL. It must be very clear to them by now they aren't going to win an appeal so any continuation means they believe they are succeeding in distressing ACL despite there being little evidence to support this.

I wonder how much the stadium costs when not in use. Can't imagine its a huge amount as things like security would be in place already for the rest of the site. Pitch maintenance is only needed if the stadium is being used, what else needs to be done, a quick clean up before it's used? It's...

I had no idea Coventry Sporting had changed name. Any particular reason it was done?

I'm sure we all do however to have a chance of success any proposal has to be realistic. Coming in saying we want everything for nothing is not the best starting point in my opinion. They can make a gesture like dropping further legal action without the club losing any money, why not do...

On that basis surely then it would be a fair offer if ACL said you can pay £150K a year without those revenues or £250K a year with them. If SISU are paying for them wouldn't it work like that? You will most likely find that when any other company hires the Ricoh, either the exhibition halls or...

I remember this time last year when we had a cup game at Orient and it was asked if people who were NOPM should go as the club would get a cut. The general consensus was that trying to apply it to games like that would be more trouble than it was worth as some people wouldn't even realise the...

Neither of those options seem to hold up to much scrutiny. A joint investor will want a decent shot at a return and any co-development will need SISU to have something that is more attractive than all the other plots of lands available. In both cases you're really reliant on SISU somehow adding...

If ML can't get around and do any work for the next 8 weeks he should sign up on here and answer some questions!

So we've gone from an in depth discussion about the clubs finances to a lets get everyone in and go over old ground to lets have the one we normally have every year at the start of the season. This new era of communication and transparency is fantastic!

Might also be worth asking them if they would oppose any new stadium being built in their constituency.

Trying to come up with questions which aren't flippant and SISU should be able to answer without any commercial or confidentiality issues. 1) Will SISU drop further legal action 2) Will SISU pay the undisputed portion of the amount owed to ACL immediately 3) As any return to the Ricoh is...

Mulling over the statement today while sat in the daily traffic jam a thought occurred to me. While SISU can release all the statements they want saying they're doing it for the fans and / or club we know this isn't the case. Even Sepalla herself admitted that her primary concern was getting a...

Not sure that's going to work in the present environment. That type of retail is nowhere near as strong as it was when the Ricoh got built, a lot of the major retailers are sitting on a large number of sites having shelved plans to build on them. The attraction of the Ricoh site was land in what...

Can Nick just sticky one of the MK Dons threads for reference so we don't have to have the same argument every time they are mentioned.

A tenner for a scarf doesn't seem too high to me. Is there any local companies who send stuff out mail order who might handle the orders and post them out at cost? Bit of publicity for them, nothing to stop them chucking a flyer in when they're sending them out.
