We've written to Minister Jacqui Smith to raise our concern over the hundreds of jobs at risk at Coventry University.

Making mass redundancies and forcing remaining staff onto an inferior pension scheme goes against the government’s reform agenda for higher education.

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

My letter to Minister Jacqui Smith urging the government to intervene to stop Coventry University's disgraceful attack on our members' jobs and conditions 👇

@Samfr @EULondonMark @barneyronay I'd be interested to know how many of them were playing sport to begin with.
Elite success tends to encourage already active people to try something new, rather than getting non-active people to do sport

@Jonathanjclark2 Cheers! Glad it was ok

Really enjoyed appearing on the 77 Club this week - it's so weird being able to talk back to a podcast...
Hopefully some of what I said was useful to people

[The Wolves 77 Club 🎙 @77ClubPodcast]

@ChrisHewitt It was a great show, even if it took me a while to get used to you speaking at a normal speed, rather than a sped up podcast

Wolves make a loss of £64m for year ending 2023. Without making adjustments for FFP exclusion and Covid adjustments, the three year rolling loss was £86m, meaning we were well within the FFP regulations.

[Kieran Maguire @KieranMaguire]

Wolves submit 22/23 accounts. Revenue up slightly but major ⬆️ in player costs meant #WWFC had operating loss of £100 million before player sales reduced this to loss before tax of just £67million. Alarming though that established PL club losing £184,000 a day.

@FootballCliches re seeing a long forgotten sponsor, this building is hidden away behind Coventry Station

@slbsn Cheers!

[Tom Bason @Tom_Bason]

@slbsn So then based on the individual club's accounting year (assuming it fits within that date). Thanks - I've strugggled to find the confirmation on that one

[Tom Bason @Tom_Bason]

@slbsn @MattBarnett2477 Hi Stefan, do the PL/UEFA have specific dates, or is it based on the accounting year for the clubs (e.g. Wolves accounts are dated 31 May, not 30 June like most others)

One day, people will realise that hosting sports events is expensive. And moreso at a time when funding for councils is at an all time low. But funding them from grassroots sports is not the answer.

[BBC Midlands @bbcmtd]

The 2026 European Athletics Championships are at risk of being moved from Birmingham due to a £2.2m funding shortfall.

The worst away end in the Premier League is a fine legacy for a £1bn stadium
