Few that spring to mind off the top of my head: naming rights - sure we'll be hearing plenty about this when Wasps cash in shortly. With the sort of wage budget we have anything approaching the Ricoh deal of £1m a year would have a massive impact. f&b - the numbers don't stack up to me, there...

Anytime a player left, especially the kids he used to look after, he would send them a tweet that while not explicitly having a go a Presley didn't need much reading between the lines to work out there had been a major falling out.

We could give it a catchy name like Operation Championship.

Unfortunately italia on this occasion Fisher is being backed up in his assertion that to be successful above our current level with need stadium ownership or at least full revenue access. The 'experts' hauled out by the CT and CWR have said the same as have Wasps who have stated they had to move...

I have no idea, do you? I would suggest that may be largely down to location. For example if a stadium was part of the University complex the type of facility that would generate the most income would be different to somewhere like Broadstreet. Also would need to consider proximity to the Ricoh...

You understand the meaning of the word if don't you? Do you think they're on minimum wage? I've got no problem with anyone in any role, even if they are on a big salary, if they are earning their money. What are Fisher and Waggott doing to earn theirs? So what are they doing? Is Fisher...

How much footfall was there at the gasworks prior to the Ricoh site being built? How many people going to exhibitions, weddings etc just happen to be walking past and pop in to spend money? The need for high footfall surely depends on what you are planning to build?

Not a bad shout Noggin. The technology for manufacturing these type of shirts has come on leaps and bounds in the last few years. Pretty much any local company involved in shirt printing could produce shirts for us that were totally bespoke and of a high quality. You could have the club badge...

I give a shit if it turns out they're on £500K for doing nothing. Would much rather get rid and add that to our player budget.

Doesn't have to be a supermarket though, was just an example. Even with supermarkets in the right location they will still build. They've just started building a huge new Tesco near me despite the fact that within a few miles radius there is a Sainsbury, another Tesco, Asda and two Morrisons!

Now Ann has decided we're going to be part of Birmingham there will be some new options for where we can build a ground!

It's all a balancing act though isn't it. Land in the middle of nowhere is cheaper as there's little demand for it, it would then follow that other companies will be less likely to want to get involved in a deal similar to the one that saw Tesco contribute a large chunk to the Ricoh.

The retro kit and the FA Cup one we used against Spurs were both bespoke. Believe you can have bespoke so long as you hit a certain minimum order. See Puma / Newcastle have managed to unveil their new kit with the Wonga logo on it a few hours after Wonga changed their logo and are now...

Fisher got pushed out to pretty much just working on the fantasy stadium didn't he? Waggot does some of the management of the business side as when they were talking about the ticketing issues around the return to the Ricoh he took the blame for that and said it was his decision to either have...

If I was in charge of this project my first choice site would be the bit of land bordered by the M69, Central Blvd into the business park and Hill Park Wood. The infrastructure is pretty much there, believe there's even an underpass already in place. Business Park could provide additional...

Broadstreet wouldn't be too dissimilar would it? You could probably make an argument for Ansty Business Park as well although the bulk of the housing there would be the other side of the showcase from any new ground.

Mowbray was talking in his press conference about making sure we have the right players and making sure we keep them under contract so they are here for as long as we want them and can't just walk away for nothing at the end of the season.

To be fair he said he was talking his phone with him and would still be working every day.

From the press conference on Sky Blues Player he's got money but he'd rather spend it on wages than fees. He's happy that he's got pretty much a clean slate so lots of funds, relatively speaking, to work with rather than having to get rid of people to bring someone in. His theory seems to be...

It's all part of the Ricoh / Tesco site isn't it? People talk like you just open a business and make a fortune. A hell of a lot of business fail totally and a lot more don't make a great profit. I'm not sure going off at a tangent with a new business is the way forward. We have people employed...
