A question - How much realistically would promotion to the Championship be worth to the club? 5-6 million?

And the rest.... (no, I don't have the figures to hand, but it's a significant jump. Although as with promotion from Champ to Prem, it comes with attendant increased costs too) |

Fitton said promotion to the Championship (back in 2010 when we were in the play off final) was worth around £10 million, that was 3 years ago so it could have gone up since then. |

Then there is the small matter off increased wages to players.

Isn't Marie Saunders Nick Watkins' PA? I'm hoping that colleagues wishing her all the best on her last day at the CG yesterday is co-incidental and a move she'd planned for some time, not related to the take-over.
That was announced over a month ago. Not related. |

Yeah, she got a new job, it's unrelated |

I think I read that Cardiff were something like 93 million in debt, although they look like they are going to get promoted to the championship, but some of these debt I have been reading about are pretty staggering.
Paul, you seem to know your stuff. The unsecured debts of 9-10 million have been written off, but we have a secured debt of 3 million still (if I have read correcly). What does this actually mean? (apologies if this has been covered before but I have only been catching up this morning)

There is no money to be made, ask Bristol City, It's all a fantasy world. |

That's a relief. Nick Watkins would be a significant loss, probably worse than losing Matt Ritchie in the medium term. Hope her new job goes well, must have been a bloody weird last day. |

I may seem to, but it's just a good impression I assure you. Basically though the difference is that the secured debt is secured against something, like your mortgage is secured against your house. So if you default on your mortgage, you lose your house. Same thing here, except the debt is secured on the ground. Not sure though whether it's owed to the Holding Co (I think it is) or directly to individuals (Arbib and/or Black). SiPie's a better man to ask, he does actually know his stuff on this |

Sod it. This may turn out to be a disaster, it may just be a bit of a rocky start to what ultimately proves to be one of the most glorious periods in the club's history. Or more likely somewhere in between. But me fretting about it isn't going to make any difference, I'm going back to bed to enjoy my flu!

Indeed. Whatever happens today, there's fuck all I can do about it, i've got more important things going on to worry about what happens at a football club  |

I heard a representative of the Oxford English Dictionary has been seen in SN1
Apparently they are excited to have a solid definition of TINPOT
