That just isn't true though. Content with a period of relative stability after years of turmoil - I'll give you that, but we all want the club to move forward. Would you say CCFC is in a better or worse position (overall) than Portsmouth, Sheff Weds, Ipswich, Derby and Charlton? None of those...

Nobody has a solution. When you ask for it, they go all woolly and vague and go into full 'yeah but not but' mode. Essentially, the only solution put forward seems to involve selling to a mysterious and non-existent oligarch waiting in the wings chomping at the bit to come in and ejaculate...

Come on now, you want me to give up time explaining to you what you already know? A few short years ago, our entire retail operation consisted of a single shitty outlet in a supermarket; run by Just Sport, on crap commercial terms, churning out Nike templates and low grade leisure wear. The...

The wage bill. People who want the likes of Hamer, O'Hare and Vik to stay must reliase that, as their stock increases, there is a cost to that, otherwise they'd all be banging at the door trying to get out.

There is a world of difference between how the club is run commercially now than even just 2-3 years ago.

Really, what are you basing that on? Commercial revenues, from sponsorship, hospitality, licensing, merchandising and retail have all increased notably haven't they? In the absence of stadium ownership (which will inevitably impact on pp revenue), where are we lacking? Genuine question, because...

Don't think that's close to being true tbh. For some reason people seem to assume these things don't happen at other clubs, when they quite clearly do. Take a look at the toxicity on some of Leicester's recent twitter threads. Or any other club going through a poor run for that matter...

Who says it's inferior? Remove those with parachute payments and those bankrolled (with whom we can't realistically compete anyway, so shouldn't try) that puts us in the mix with a 9/10 clubs, and the simple truth is we have to be better than them, and we have been have we not? Unless you want...

Pretty much where you are. That has been my argument all along, that player sales are required to keep the losses in check. I'm not why you have spent to last hour arguing with me?

I can't recall you posting any financial information at all. There is no requirement for me to do so given that I have made only 2 assertions; one that the club operates at a loss and two that the owners cover said losses in the form of loans. Which of these are you disputing? Why have we sold...

I not sure that's what he said tbh. I am sure the recent issues have applied increased pressure to sell before the end of the window, but it has been said on here countless times since the end of last season that we're due to sell somebody. Seemingly everyone I spoke to was of the view that...

What's our current cash on hand situation? You seem to know. Don't make up shit like we've sold Hyam only because we've run out of money and then ask others to back up their statements, especually a perfectly reasonable assertion that the owners will cover cash flow shortages (as they have...

Still a loan then you clown, and it means jack unless it's being called in anyway. Like I say, you're all over the place here, having a mare.

It doesn't mean that at all. Football clubs only sell late in the transfer window because they have run out of money? Of course there are clash flow issues right now, but it is entirely revelavant because the owners routinely inject cash to cover cash flow shortages, I'm sure they already have...

What are you on about, you're all over the place here. Do owner loans count as investment or not 😂

Because there is clearly a level of debt, a pinch-point in terms of the losses that they are clearly not willing to go beyond and lose grip on. They may be happy to sustain the debt at a certain level but may have to sell once in a while to ensure it doesn't run away. Not that difficult to get...

He doesn't want to aim for self-sufficiency, definitely not, selling players is a no. He doesn't want the owers to inject money in the form of loans to cover shortfall, as they are (and not calling in) , also a no (this is not sustainable apparently). What he wants it seems is "investment"...

Yes, they have covered losses in the form of loans. We all know that. It's a good deal more sustainable than what we're seeing at other clubs, where total turnover barely covers the wage bill. How does that end for those who don't end up in the PL? What is it you want them to do? What do you...

Of course, there is a lag and it may well have been the Wilson money that financed Hamer, so what, the point being that they did invest it to strengthen the squad at that point. Not forgetting the fact we operate at a loss, as do all Championship clubs pretty much. What do we do about that...

You might be right, that would change things no doubt.
