So everyone has to agree with you to avoid ridicule do they ? Poor quality argument, shout everyone down if they have a different view from you. Very very sad.

The comments from the Pompey administrator are very interesting, I am sure SISU are aware of this, but it does show a path the Trust should follow. The more people with expertise we can get on board the better, together with a sound business plan. Not an easy task, but would be well worth it in...

For information this is what happens in Germany In amongst the frantically waved flags and billowing banners at Bundesliga games, there's a particularly unmissable one raised by fans of all clubs. “50 + 1 muss bleiben” – “50 +1 must stay” – is a mantra for supporters here. The ’50 + 1 rule’ is...

Reading the link to the formation of the Supporters Trust at Swansea City is inspiring, and certainly shows what can be achieved. Obviously our situation is different, and I fear much more urgent. It is good to see that we are getting a much more professional approach to this situation, as...

The same applies to long distance fans such as myself. I would like to lend my support. We need to be prepared for what I fear may be the worst, and be able to reform straight away. In the sprit of being prepared, the example of AFC Wimbledon is woth familiarising ourselves with.

5000 fans stumping up a grand each ? Not a hope in hell in these troubled times. Most people are struggling to pay their bills never mind having a grand to spare ! And where would you get the £30 million to pay SISU off. Do you not think that GH would have done this if it was possible ?

If you are not in favour of this idea, in view of what Gary Hoffman has said today, indicating that no take over is going to happen soon, what do you expect will happen to rescue us, and who do you think is going to do the rescuing ? Surely this is better than the slow, lingering, painful death...

Is it possible to identify "people" registering on this site from the Sunderland area and get them kicked off for good? This whole situation is getting stupid.

I would include George Curtis (maybe before 67) and Tommy Hutchison. No mention of Oggy ?

If I was a potential investor having been "chatted up" by GH, I would look at what connected with CCFC could be a money maker. It certainly is not the football club ! Has anybody thought that CCFC might only be a relatively minor part of what is being discussed ? Might they be discussing the...

Are we possibly in a "be careful what we wish for" situation. If SISU announced tomorrow that because of the protests and bad publicity they have had enough and by next Friday would be gone, nobody knows if there would be anyone there to take over. We have heard nothing official from the...

I was pleased to see that the Save the City campaign is moving on from being just a protest movement to serious thoughts about what we want the club to be post SISU. If a credible plan can be put together to indicate a way forward that can be made public via the media, the Save the City movement...

I think the Council would be correct to exercise maximum caution in this matter. They came, like all of us, to seriously distrust SISU, and would I believe be looking for a working relationship with new club owners to rebuild the trust which has been lost. Maybe in a few years, who knows. I...

I assume you mean we would own half the ground. Haven't the Council said they are not prepared to sell their half ?

If we assume that at some point, GH and whoever is backing him, or is part of his consortium takes over the club, I want to hear from them asap what the plan is. I totally agree that to do what has been done before is not acceptable. I do not want to hear a "throw money at it to get into the PL...

Gary, have you talked to Jim Brown, I believe he used to work in the City of London, he may be able to help ?

Bamala.. Read about Schalke, very interesting, I thought I read somewhere that German clubs had to have some element of supporter ownership ?

The rot started way before SISU, back in the Richardson era. SISU have just made it much worse and accelerated the decline.

Links For anyone interested in how football clubs should be run below are a few links, 2 about Swansea and 1 about football trusts. Food for thought...

When we finally come out of this SISU nightmare, and someone else takes us over, possibly Gary Hoffman and his backers, are we sure that this would take us to a better place ? Might we be exchanging one set of faceless money men for another? Would we end up 3 or 4 years down the line in the same...
