Its not FFP in this league but SCMP ( see another thread ) and it says:
Turnover definition
Under the SCMP rules, the definition of 'Turnover' is particularly important as Turnover is used to determine the maximum wage-spend. Within a traditional accounting perspective, there are usually only three elements of turnover:
However the Football League use a is broader definition of Turnover. Crucially, the FL Turnover figure includes donations from the owners to the club and injections of equity. Loans from club owners are understandably not included in the Turnover figure as these would result in growing club debts. up club debts. In League 1 and League 2, a wealthy owner can therefore fund the club spending in a way that is not permitted in other divisions. Manchester City and Leicester for example seem set for punishment for their excessive losses (from UEFA and the Championship respectively) despite the fact that the owners have injected hard cash into the club to finance the spending.
- Match-day Income
- Commercial Income (such as sponsorship)
- TV revenue (and any 'merit payments' based on league position)
Or above your pay grade.
Yes you are right. However for the purposes of defining the term 'turnover' the SCMP use the same definitions for this as is used in the FFP document from UEFA. In this particular case we are referring to commercial income.
Oh shit! I truly am in trouble if a man who flips burgers in KFC is telling me this
You still going to be CCFC's number 1 stay away fan this season?
What contribution have you made other than one that suits your own personal financial agenda?
As regard to limited grasp if facts regarding a populated area - how populated was the gasworks site before the arena was constructed? Sites the other side and in rugby borough council are very similar in population demographic - just because you will not benefit financially others may.
Where are these sites in Rugby. An example will do.
FYI the gas works was surrounded by several estates plus the main feeder road from the M6 into Coventry.

I have heard Ansty on here. But other than getting planning permission it would need a direct road. This would cost about the same as building a stadium.

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 parking and there's already some food and drink places nearby on the showcase site. Its also as close as you can get to Cov without being in the city. Right next to Rolls Royce as well, Rolls Royce Arena anyone?
That would be a 'money no object' build. The land wouldn't be cheap. If we are going to build somewhere the land will have to be cheap. I suppose that is why a lot of the new grounds are built away from where they would be better off being.
We've already mentioned sites around Long Lawford/Church Lawford too, that might be possiblities. Currently mixed industrial/warehousing, just off the A45. Regardless of whether we should build a new stadium, it's daft to pretend that there aren't places where a stadium could be built.
But being more realistic how about very close to Coventry, cheap, ready infrastructure and not greenbelt for starters.
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.
Them days are gone. The big supermarket builds are about over. Tescos even pulled the plug on all new big stores. In a town near where I used to live they were building one. It just stopped and won't be going any further. And there isn't a single supermarket there so they would have made a killing. The last one there was Kwik Save. It was nearly always full.
Ansty or Broadstreet.
So how much would a road cost to Ansty and how much would the land cost? And the road would have to go through greenbelt land so would take years to get permission. And without a road they would never get planning permission. So not affordable and not viable.

Im not disgareeing with you! its just you asked where is near to Coventry and those two came to mind.
Re transport links I dont think it would all be down to the club, and think (although people may know more) that certain funds are avaialble for transportaion links/roads etc.
The Ansty site has been earmarked for development so isnt greenbelt as such, and there are already transport links set in place.
I still think its a non starter.
There's already a bunch of roads into Ansty. They built them a couple (I say a couple, time flies! Many?!?) years ago off the A46.
But being more realistic how about very close to Coventry, cheap, ready infrastructure and not greenbelt for starters.
Never fear, Long Lawford/Church Lawford isn't a possibility
Enough to help getting planning permission? Brandon has roads. They are close to other big roads. Something could have been sorted. But it was a no go from the start because of the roads.
Not greenbelt, cheap land, very close to Coventry and good roads?
There are mixed/industrial sites with reasonable infrastructure that could be redeveloped in RBC, and some have been highlighted here. Politely, just because they don't meet your preferences in terms of location etc. doesn't make them unrealistic.
I'm not for a moment saying that a new stadium is going to happen, but Wasps arrival certainly increases the probability of it (however remote), imho.
Yes.
Into a massive fuck off industrial park.
Who said about my preferences? I mentioned what would be needed for us (SISU) to be able to afford it and for it to be able to get planning permission. This isn't me having a go at SISU/CCC/RBC or anyone else. This is just me being realistic. Or does price/location/infrastructure/planning permission not matter any more?
And a football crowd would have been turning up when an industrial site is least busy. Like a Saturday afternoon or midweek night.
It's greenbelt arounf Church Lawford, and I challenge you to call the road to King's Newnham a good road.
Plus it's a flood plain...
It's only being suggested because it was mooted as a site for an airport. But that was a political play to make Heathrow's extra runway go through more smoothly.
Plus you'd then have issues with the Archaeology bunch getting involved, and the tower's a listed building.
Edit: Could maybe head for Dunsmore Heath, where the nuclear bunkers are, I suppose.
It's entirely relevant, but you're trying to say that it's impossible, perhaps because you'd like to believe it isn't going to happen.
But it clearly isn't impossible. There are locations in RBC where a stadium could be built, and a few have been highlighted here straight off the bat. It's a bit daft, imho, to say that it isn't possible.
Even PP is a moveable feast these days - look at where Brighton got their stadium built before saying that's it's impossible to get PP in the green belt.
