    Winning in almost any area is done at the margin. If other clubs in the division have an extra £1-9M per year to spend from just this one source, we are toast, and it does not matter who owns us. Look at Ipswich... they have currently £2.65M more just in commercial than we did last year. That money, if we made it and deployed it to Aribo and Bauer, signs them easily, and then some. Now imagine having all these clubs with the extra millions year after year after year. It's grim.

    According to accounts, CAFC made £1.34M in commercial revenue in 2017-18. By comparison here is the commercial revenue for all Championship Clubs the year before that, as supplied by SwissRamble. As one can see, CAFC enters our new division with a mammoth shortfall in commercial turnover to sign (or even re-sign) players compared to our competition. Even if we have clauses in our contracts that allow us to double our commercial contract payments (which I have not heard any evidence of), then even at £2.7M per year, we are bottom of the barrel in commercial revenue sources in The Championship. Anyone have any info on this situation or what our options are? Anyone know if more recent deals are more lucrative? Or how can get our commercial to the upper half of the division (exclusing parachuted clubs) of roughly £5-9M?

    Yes, it’s a significant structural problem within the business and has been for some time. It’s being slightly overstated by outsourcing - the club only receives the profit in some areas, not the gross revenue, while other clubs will include cost of sale in their revenue - but it’s an issue.

    If I was to kill everyone making fish puns there isn't a court in the land that would give me any worse than community service.

    I absolutely knew that was going to happen. It's okay though, because those are the posts that will have the jury shaking their heads in sympathy and the prosecuting lawyer slumped with head in hands.

    Didn’t someone (Crawley ?) say that we ought to know more about Dalman in 48 hours ? That was on Thursday I think.

    Acworth on top form this morning.

    Long tweetings about how he is a family friend of Status quo and David Bowie no less. His relative wrote Starman and made all of their guitars.

    .....oh..and his non league shortlist is out.
    So if you're reading this Roland/Lee get on it.

    If you don't Guardiola will!

    Cardiff reporter and we did. The next day he released that ‘statement’ about concentrating on Cardiff.

    Just wondering what is the very last day when new owners could buy the club allowing a decent amount of time to make new signings? I’m guessing 28th June? 

    Fixtures released on 20th June. 
    Season starts on 3rd Aug (with a live game on the 2nd).
    So we’ve got six weeks to gear up for the new season, including recruitment etc.

    Not sure when pre-season training and tour start but it must be in a couple of weeks time? And I feel you need to hit the ground running in the Championship. Remember our poor start last season? All very well in League One, but could be very damaging in the second tier. 

    Had some inconclusive news from the Aussies this morning.  It doesn’t leave me feeling particularly positive if I’m honest, but hopefully there’ll be an update later.

    In that case, could they be losing out Mehmet Dalman?
