    What Is John Clarke?

    In todays Telegraph John Clarke admits that he shoulders some of the blame for the demise of the club, hindsight is a beautifull thing isnt it. A club that can not converse with its fans on a daily basis has a board member who built his reputation and personel fortune in the PR world and only...

    Hoffman - Telegraph Back Page

    I have heard from a source who is in the know and is very close to an ex owner of the club. That person has intimated that their is a lot of smoke and mirrors going on around the potential takeover at the moment, he has also said the liquidation threat is a hurry up to get it done and he was...

    Fisher - Not ruling out admin (alledgidly)

    Just for your info boys all the relavant parties are at the table and negotiating. I have a contact within the club that knows the bid team and according to them it is down to the nitty gritty now so we can presume their is some brinkmanship going on. This would explain the Fisher comments, SISU...

    Transfer embargo again

    Could be a good thing boys, not for the club but it may mean progress on the ownership front. Why go to the trouble and cost of prepairing a funding plan next year when you dont plan being the owner?

    Sisu's call to arms.

    Though I dont get the chance to go to matches through work commitments, not by choice, my boys and father regulaly attend. If the stories are true that stewards at Reading on Saturday were asked to remove anti SISU banners and balloons, then this is sensorship of the worst kind! Not only have...

    I have a feeling Thorn will be gone tomorrow...

    "Players lose you games, not tactics. There's so much crap talked about tactics by people who barely know how to win at dominoes." Reflecting on England's exit from Euro 2000. A famous Brian Clough quote, and you can't say he didn't know what he was talking about. If he walks we will only get a...

    sisu

    Two things that I think have contributed to are the following. The appointment of KD is the first, Fisher said in his recent statement that SISU let their businesses run them selves, big mistake in appointing him in my opinion with out doing propper due diligance on his CV. The bloke was a...

    a rumour from a "source"

    FYI, I have it on excellent authority that GH met with some of SISU's top brass last week, apparantly they were whom Tim Fisher reports to. This comes from a contact within the club and was confirmed by one who works for someone closely conected to the club and no I am not naming names. SISU are...

    Save Our City Changes

    To join in the debate I was one of the voices that opposed the formality of the SOC. Jan what ever people say about the way things went with the group we should all as city fans respect the fact that you did help bring a spotlight on what was happening at the club to a wider ordience, for this...

    SOC Statement

    Couldnt agree more with you Nick. I have no axe to grind with the SOC boys but a vehicle that was used for the common fans amongst us to vent our spleens via demonstrations is quickly becoming a gentlemans club for the good and the great. The spark seems to have gone since Brinner and the likes...

    hoffman to meet CCFC board

    The rumour mill is doing overtime chaps. Does anyone on here believe the one about Onye being replaced on the board by Joy Sapalla? If this one turns out to be true she may have ousted Igwe from his current role due to the debacle that happend last time their was an offer on the table to buy the...

    No wonder this club is becoming a joke on and off the pitch when...

    I think the average city fan would put it as 85% SISU,s fault and 15% Thorns inexperience as a manager. In reality he got the job as he was the cheapest option for a company that wants to asset strip the club. If we were in the same position 4 years ago when the job was on offer and their was...

    Next Years Budget Projections

    As has already been pointed out the season ticket money has already been loaned against, as renewals would be down if relegated this figure is wide of the mark. Also it does not mention mortgage repayments on Ryton training ground or the monies SISU are obviously paying themselves back to pay...

    Sorry to burst the bubble guys but Stuart Linell has tweeted that NO deal has been agreed with the council.

    To the apathetic ones...

    Nothing will change at the club unfortunately Tommy. We will continue to be asset stripped by SISU as thats their line of business, they will continue to treat us like mushrooms as this is also one of their strategys. While they are at the helm any player that looks like they may be worth a few...

    Time to confront Hoffman and Elliott

    Well said OSB, people on this and other threads need to keep their powder dry. I do believe their is a bid on the table and both partys are negotiating on the finer points. Mike Maylon who reports for the Telegraph, who is a respected footballing journo, even though the paper he reports for sits...

    Ranson

    To be fair we will never learn the full extent of complicity between any of the partys that have been involved since sisu aquired us. If ranson is the option then so be it, better the devil you know than sisu. You would prefer us to go down the admin route and start again in league 1, thats your...

    old supporter views

    1972 was my first game on the old Kop with me dad and grandad. Best ever game, and their were some in the next 15 years, was probably December 77 5-4 win against Norwich and a bicycle kick from Ian Wallace or the Terry Gibson hatrick against the then champions Liverpool. Agreed on one thing...

    liquidation looms, admin if we are lucky

    Their is no point starting a thread that will make supporters shit themselves without substantiating your claims. For one how can the club go into liquidation in your pinion and have a debt to service that you refer too in paragraph 2? People should report cold hard facts as its this type of...

    The bigger picture...

    IN this analagy that means everyone at the club are SISU's lacky's, what bollocks. Who do we replace him with? He has to walk a tight line between SISU and the playing staff with out loosing his job by saying what he thinks. Do you believe he can openly criticise the hand that feeds him and...
