Interesting report on the BBC. Southamptons owners have converted £33m loans into shares - thereby removing the possibility of the club having to repay the loans, reducing the risk, changing the balance sheet of the company for the better. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17547804...

Dont get me wrong this is not a way to try to justify what SISU have done.... its more a brain storming of ideas. We keep saying how SISU got it wrong - how would we get it right ? You know the set up. You are the owner of a football club that has struggled over recent years. Having put in a...

I know you can make figures say anything but I took a look at the average attendance of the 11 teams that have remained in the Championship since August 2008. Only took those teams so the figures not distorted by teams in one year not in next etc ie tried to compare like with like. Also turns...

Have got a bit fed up with seeing some of the comments here - too many think it will be ok under GH, that throw money at it and there are no consequences, see a transaction as one sided. Just wanted to explain a few things regarding the finances, putting money in to the club etc. It isnt really...

We seem submerged in so many negatives so I wondered if there were any positives we can take from this season in anything happening at CCFC and the Ricoh. There are few I can think of - the emergence of our younger players particularly Christie and Thomas - the form of Keogh - The Ricoh...

Couple this with the FFP rules and the new premiership driven rules on young player transfers and I can see a lot of clubs really struggling...

from the BBC website Andy Thorn's side are bidding for a 900th home league win, and a fourth in succession at the Ricoh. • Yet the Sky Blues are two points adrift at the foot of the table, seven points from safety, with just five wins from their 28 games. It is the worst equivalent return...

stark reality is that we will need a tremendous run in until the end of the season I think a reasonable target to give us a chance of survival is 50 points minimum. That means another 34 points from 23 games (69 points max possible). With great respect to Brighton, today's game is one we need...

Listened to an interview with him on Radio 5 live about 12 30 yesterday. Talking of his feelings, emotions and sadness at the death of his baby. Very moving. Spoke of how Football helped him through it and how his son is always with him. Some things are vastly more important than the game or...

clearly some people in this world have more money than sense!:thinking about::facepalm::whistle: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-16027006 Eight Ferraris, three Mercedes-Benzes, a Lamborghini and two other vehicles were involved in the pile-up in the southern prefecture of Yamaguchi Japan.

I dont claim any credit for spotting this - was good work by crowsnest :claping hands: We are told that Otium now own CCFC and that SBS&L own Otium (but this is not absolutely certain because I have seen no proof) But who owns SBS&L ? Shares issued 13698 it was SISU Capital private fund...

This isnt a discussion of who so lets be clear I am not looking at the merits (?) of SISU or GH consortium or any other. What do we the fans want to see as to how the club is owned? The next change of ownership is an opportunity to really engage the fans but will it be more of the same?. Can...

Clearly Sunderland have by anyones standards invested in the playing squad, ok they lost Bent & Gyan but overall they spent significantly They have taken 21 points out of the last 81. They have won 3 home games this calendar year. CCFC have taken 27 points out of 87 under AT won just 5...

If you look at the first ten home games this season compared to the first ten last season then the total crowds from those ten games are down by approximately 16500. At say £18 per ticket that equates to close to £300k lost income. I think most would agree that we have made significant savings...

Firstly I would like to say thank you to those who replied to a question I raised regarding the apparent mortgage of season ticket income. The claims surrounding these apparent loans have been bugging me. So what is it we know well firstly it was made public by an article in the CT 11th July...

I have just watched a news item on Sky about Accrington. Apparently the chairman, Mr Khan, has already put a substantial amount of money into the club and is about to put £2m more into the club. Apparently the club is "debt free" - probably means they only owe only the chairman but not sure. His...

Seems financial shenanigans still plague Pompey. It isnt just us http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-hampshire-15859800

There are a number of issues I have with the team, how it plays and its ability to perform. It isnt about the formation as such although I firmly believe the diamond for the squad we have is far too fragile and easily overcome by the opposition. There are things about CCFC teams over the recent...

Firstly I was pleased to see a decent display from the team on Saturday. The team worked and played some good football. We played higher up the pitch and for 2/3rds of the match were the better team. Credit has to go to the players and AT for that. We lost but I went home with some pride and a...

I sat and listened to CWR this morning airing interviews with Daniel Gidney from ACL and councillor Mutton. Here is what i took from it - the attitude to CCFC/Board/SISU appears to have hardened. Perhaps from frustration but more likely due to the unprofessional underhand almost bullying...
