And your point was that you think blockading the Ricoh will eventually result in Sisu changing their views and deciding to come back? How does that work then exactly?

Squad is beginning to look very thin. Will they: 1. "Promote" another one of the youngsters 2. Look for a decent loan signing 3. Do nothing and hope for the best?

When questioned about the overdue accounts on CWR two months ago, Fisher said that the auditors were in and they would be filed in a few weeks. Although not specifically mentioned, there was no doubt about the implication/context of the question and that the interviewer was referring to the...

Because if CCFC ever go into administration again (in case they find that they are, in fact, currently at the top of a spiral instead of the bottom of the cycle) Avro have first call and they are the biggest creditor. That's exactly the situation they engineered on this occasion with Avro having...

I agree. However, I can see Avro lending (on paper) to CCFC to "pay" the inflated management fees that will be charged to CCFC by the parent company. Avro build up the debt and then take a debenture (a first charge) over the Ricoh before CCFC eventually go into administration if a buyer with...

How else is Joy ever going to realise the return on investment she desires?

It wasn't an interview was it? It comes over as a PR monologue that was probably edited by JS and approved by her before publication. If it was genuinely an interview, then Les missed the opportunity to ask the searching and challenging questions that the blog highlighted - and many more.

With the club having a potential turnover of little more than £500k for the whole season (just ticket sales and a bit of TV income) we will struggle to add to the squad under the FFP rules - other than inexperienced youngsters. When we were in admin, Pressley said he wanted to bring in some...

Truce.

Steady on!

Swansea didn't play "away" for 5 years and, as for Chelsea, our owners are not billionaires, they will never invest in the team and we will never be in the Champions League. Get real - there's no comparison is there? And, of course, neither of those clubs did anything to infuriate, alienate...

It is apparent that she knows nothing about football or running a football club and she has no respect for the wishes of the fans. Her only interest is getting the Ricoh, and the surrounding development land, on the cheap and that is her one and only aim - or am I being unfair?

Thanks OSB. So joy's statement that they couldn't afford to pay the rent, especially given the FFP rules is rubbish then?

OSB - does the rent have any impact on the FFP rules?

The club couldn't afford to pay the rent!?? But it can afford to lose millions in ticket season sales, match day tickets, kit sales and sponsorship for the next 5 years, and also fork out substantial legal fees to fund the JR. What utter bullshit, Joy!

But they can afford to alienate 8000+ fans and the entrance fees they would have paid to come and watch the team they once supported........? Can't afford the rent....? Can't afford not to, surely? It's just bollocks, and you know it!

But the point is that loans do not count under the FFP rules - only equity investment (in shares) does. I think you will find, without exception, that all league football clubs are run as Limited Companies, which, of course, must have share capital. Anyone would be bonkers to run a football...

I think you are confusing loans with equity investment (share capital that can't be repaid).

What are you on?

TF originally said they just wanted the rent reduced to £170k pa. How things have moved on!
