You say it's the 3rd time but I'm not talking about supporters not knowing their arse from their elbow. I'm talking the media. Even last night on the cwr phone in it was mentioned as fact by the presenter that if its not by 28th then it's 10 pts next season.

It's a fair question IMO. I've had a season ticket since the mid 80s doing my bit to secure the future of this club. What do the majority of the 800 members actually do other than show support by being a member? It's just question and I agree with the idea of the Group but I'm weighing up in my...

I understand the need for such a group and dialogue between the club and supporters but for arguments sake let say you had 10,000 members, what difference does it actually make ? There are only ever a couple of members meeting with the club so what do the other 9998 do?

I think I would be correct if I said that nearly all on this forum base our opinions on this whole situation on hearsay and media reports rather than any real knowledge. It amazes me then that nearly everyone in the media seems to be reporting that we need to be in administration by the 4th...

Yes and we were in the Championship then and weren't in a league which next season will have an even tighter FFP rule of 60% of turnover on wages. Without owning the stadium new owners couldn't buy their way out of this league as expensive players carry high wages which our turnover currently...

Yes we all know its administration but who in their right mind would take on this club. You are all hoping for some group of rich types to take it on as a toy. No businessman would take this on without accepting they've got to stump up minimum £50m for the ground or suffer losses year in year...

I'm afraid this has liquidation written all over it. Without ownership of the ground no one is coming to save us. Last time around the Higgs share was £10m and the council wanted £40m for their share (not like them to be so generous) ACL make currently £1m profit per year so only 50 years to get...

ACL and the council won't let the stadium go for £30m for a start I think £50m would be closer to the mark but even if they did are you seriously expecting someone to come in a throw that sort of money at CCFC just to get control?

What I think doesn't matter. ACL are the ones claiming the only way to get a share of the ground is to develop the land.

But ACL are stating that to get any share of the ground for a new buyer would only happen if they develop the surrounding land. Dont you see that they are already trying to bully any potential investor? No businessman will take on such a loss making, one sided venture. ACL have started something...

But who would buy a club with no assets, continuing losses and the noose of FFP so you can't just buy your way out of it? As ACL have stated, without investment in developing surrounding land then there is not even a share of the ground. Now this has started the only 2 possibilities in my...

Yes but other than the fact ACL will be getting their rent if we got a new buyer, how is that future going to be any better for CCFC? ACL have stated any share of the ground will only come from huge investment in the surrounding area. So basically they want someone else to spend all their...

It doesn't make much difference whether new investors are faceless or not. FFP rules will be the same, our losses each season will be the same, we still wont completely own our ground. Different group but same set of problems.

The problem is that 65% is for this season, it changes to 60% for 2013/14 season so it gets even worse.

Yes including us dropping 3 every home game.

Didn't Waggot say the other night we needed a turnover of £6m to get the the playing budget to the level they want. You have to assume with all this talk of FFP and putting a less competitive team on the pitch next season that our turnover is certainly less than this. It's unbelievable when...

That wasn't as bad as the away game at Highbury when he tried to head a long ball over the top back to the goalie and totally mistimed his jump and the ball hit him on the back of the head/shoulder and they scored. I think Wegerle scored ours and we lost 2-1. The most comical bit of defending I...
