I don't think SISU will be nipping out to the Coventry Economic for a mortgage. They are a reputible institution (despite what they get called on here) they will have their own sources of finance! :pimp:

I don't disagree with your logic and I don't think Fishface would either! I just think he is very bad at explaining that they don't have that choice! :pimp:

Yes Wingy I agree too much examination of detail is not always worth it. At the end of the day its the owners choice not ours! On another thread I said I was originaly hoping that we would come out of admin without the £70m SISU debt but realised that maybe if they are effectively buying the...

We can twist figures around and present them in different lights. Yes there are costs in buying, but also you saved all the dead money you would have paid in rent, I wasn't trying to start a rant on the benefits of house buying, I was trying to illustrate that the debt we are left with is not...

Too literal man! I wasn't suggesting they would sell the stadium for a profit after 5 years, I was ilustrating the debt doesn't need to be paid off to benefit! The benefit with buying the stadium will come in increased revenues, over the long term. They can finance buying the stadium for...

I didn't mean to imply ther would be less goals, although that might follow. I meant that teams with more equal budgets would lead to closer matches, with less big margin wins. It would logically lead to tighter league tables with less points between top and bottom. Didn't we see that last...

Yes but there was potentially more contrast with the possibility of an Obramavich coming in and blessing someone (maybe the one with 60% of £5m in your example) with XXX Millions. The mis-fires are likely to ocur in any team even with the best of intentions from managment. DB has arguably given...

Its not ridiculous at all its a very logical conclusion. The effect of FFP will be to reduce the contrast in the budgets of teams, hence they will be more equally matched. :pimp:

Maybe half of the fans on here are not house owners so very scared of "debt". An ordinary semi in London today costs £500k. Buy it on a mortgage and hold it for 5years. With house prices going up at 5% pa after 5 years you sell it and it has gone up to £640k! You didn't need to worry about...

Two years is not long to judge the effect of such significant change, and we have only felt it for one season. Perhaps we should ask the fans of teams that have felt it for two seasons if it makes for exciting football? :pimp:

Thanks ob, I'm sure you're right. But it gets forgotton that all of FFP is untried & tested! Although it tries to prevent the previous unbridled system of billionaires like Obramavics "buying" success, we don't know how well we will like the new system until its been experienced. It is...

I think somebody should be questioning if this FFP can work! If its based on last years figures as you say and we may get by in L1 this year but really struggle in L1 next year. How would it be better if we actually managed to get promoted? We' d be facing the second year on a tighter...

I thought that initially and was thinking it would be a good thing! But on reflection I think they will be buying the debt and don't think there is any reason that they can't keep expressing it in the accounts. :pimp:

Lets be accurate, did he say the fans understood why they had to move or the fans liked his plans? Its not quite the same is it? :pimp:

Lol, thats an interesting proposition! So joy is a drugs duchess now! Ties in with her not wanting to be photographed! Good luck! You have failed the phd btw! :pimp:

It costs £1 a go, and I think the terms of downloading expect them not to be passed on to third parties. Can we get nick to download them on behalf of SBT and put them on the site for all members? :pimp:

Don't abandon all hope Mighty Mary, There are big players around and you might turn out to be enjoying the whisky! I think there is a real chance one or other of the bidders will pay a price acceptable to SISU. Its not sealed bids or final bids - its indicative bids, therefore leaving room...

I don't think anyone will be celebrating SISU regainging controle of what they already own at a not insignificant cost. Some people might enjoy a little whiskey for predicing it however it turns out. But I think everybody on here has the best interests of city at heart. Everyone is free to...

99% of the successful bid will be paid to SISU! My guess is they will put in a bid that will act like a reserved price! It will cost them only 1% of whatever they bid - it does not cost them anything to pay themselves the rest! I would guess they will bid over the £45m they have put in...

Why are they withholding the phone bill? :pimp:
