I read Everton have a “number” I repeat a number of players on £100k+ a WEEK, plus a new ground to pay for, some of their fans seem to think going down will be just a blip and they’ll go straight back up, probably thinking Burnley, think they are in for a big shock.

I suspect academy will stay at the Higgs and U/18s & perhaps U/16s go to Ryton, U/18s are first year scholars and above. Makes sense and the Higgs is a good facility for the youngsters

Don’t see what good that will do them. They ain’t the only ones I think there are more than one or two championship clubs in a mess.

Think we were lower than tinpot.

When you look at it now what a disgrace that training facility has become, it was only two pitches ffs! Just shows the contempt sisu held for our football club, and us, makes my blood boil.

Interesting it mentions 2 phases first being the pitches pretty obvious really the second the building,saying they could add buildings, renovate or even flatten it, no mention at all about the original Connexion building. Wonder if in time they will consider getting it back and use it for what...

Also not so much Carr he was only about 16 and at the time had Gibbo ahead of him but Machin, Tudor, Gillespie & Clements all got straight into the first team, nowadays we look at 20/21 year olds as if they were kids.

Yes my mistake O’Rourke was English and who could forget Willie Carr and Garry Gillespie, what a signing he was at 17. Jimmy Hill signed Carr from non league Cambridge City another top Scot, one of three great non league signings a Ernie Machin from Nelson and John Tudor from Ilkeston and he...

We always had a large group of Scottish players apart from those you have mentioned we had big Jim Holton, Roy Barry arguably our best ever centre-half Ernie Hannigan the underrated Brian Alderson, Neil Martin, Colin Stein, John O’Rourke and my for ever favourite Ian Gibson just imagining him...

Had him for 9 years though, but sold him ironically before he was due a testimonial, typical ccfc. When I look back I can’t help wondering where the Scottish stars have gone, in those gays most top teams had great Scottish players a lot where wingers, there was our Tommy, but also the likes of...

Nothing, nice rest at a critical time. Can’t bear a bit of family time.

I like Panzo, went off the boil a bit in the New Year but so did the team.

Heard they were in sunnier climes for a week ??

I reckon without VAR neither of those semi-final penalties at the weekend wouldn’t have been given, but when there’s been umpteen replays they were both hand balls so in the letter of the law the Fulham sending off was correct and the Sheffield defender should have off been too.

Ladies football is certainly on the rise but any ladies team to play at the CBS would need serious sponsorship, but then again Fraser Plus target customers are more likely women I’d think, might be interesting.

Why not both, but agree likely to be expensive.

It looks we have moved the younger teams forward to play at higher/better levels don’t know if that’s new strategy or part of their development or bit of both perhaps. coming to when decisions are made about about futures too I can see why some are brought back in house.

He was good here could he repeat that ? Napoli are well clear at the top of Serie A so not being a regular doesn’t mean he’s no good, I’d expect he’d cost a fair bit though.

So the only way is up then, if they are the better of the two where do ccfc ladies play ?
