    Recruitment screwed up

    After reading this article I conclude that Mowbray & Venus made serious errors in their recruitment strategy. They tried to get premium players on a small budget and ended up settling for 3rd choice. Now they are looking at an unreliable market in out of contract players to fill big holes in the...

    Maybe a FOI to the council to get a statement of their assessment of what usage is expected is in order. If they have no real understanding of the projected use, or it turns out most users will be Egg Chasers (as Grendul speculated) then the political nature of the project should be exposed...

    Never in doubt

    I don't support the development one iota, but they are talking about elite swimmers/divers using that pool, can't for the life of me understand what's wrong with them going to Birmingham?

    Saturday's game - biggest ever.

    Form will not improve till Rose and Stokes return, in 6 weeks or so. Just hope McCann is not still injured.

    Mowbray and the Acadamy

    I believe the average Div 3 salary is still around 70K, so with a bit for signing on fees etc I think my estimate isn't unrealistic. Though there would still be an U23 team to run in the budget...

    Mowbray and the Acadamy

    7 strong squad players and a more extensive scouting network with approximately equal transfer income and an enhanced league position and therefore bigger crowds and ticket income. I think that is the case too but I do not see it as a disaster.

    Mowbray and the Acadamy

    But similar benefits would accrue if sold players with potential were bought and sold on the open market (e.g. Jones) rather than developed internally, you have not understood the way the transfer market works for some reason you are assuming that an academy is greatly superior to any...

    Mowbray and the Acadamy

    You have no proof of that. OSB's figures show about £3.7M received in transfer fees from 2013-14 to 2016, the corresponding investment was about £4M over the same period. I would contend it is approximately break even and actually a bit risky as the cashflow from academy product is uneven, if...

    I don't doubt they'd want SISU out, I certainly want them gone. As for a thriving CCFC, that is another matter.

    @oldskyblue58 & @duffer My gut feeling was always that SISU want to close the academy to reduce overheads/cashflow/risk and they they are moving to bringing in scouted players from various sources. e.g.non-league, ex-premier academy and other local academies like SFF etc. As OSB implies out the...
