Funny, that's what I keep saying about the value of the football club when people keep saying it would cost £30/40/50m to buy it because "that's what SISU put in ".

The fact they haven't publicly rubbished the claim says that they didn't attend the same charm school as TF :)

The context of the debate was around the balance between buying and selling players and whether our current position was the same as it had been for the last 40 years. I'd agree that we signed a good number of players at the start of this season, but with the exception of Barton (believe it...

I'll try to be a little more specific for you then. When SISU came in they had a plan. It involved buying young players who could improve the club and who would probably then be sold on at (hopefully) a profit. It appears that you didn't notice when this plan changed. It was about the time...

As I recall we used to buy as well as sell. We bought Wallace, Gibson, Gillespie, Gallagher, Keane, Dublin and Huckerby. Spot the difference?

Hmmmmmm. If you care to retread the thread you might see that I was trying to highlight the fact that MMM's points had been sidestepped - what you might perhaps refer to as narrowing the criteria. That'll teach me to be subtle......

I was just offered a choice of upper or lower tier over the phone.

So given your response, I assume that you don't remember us being "dragged through the courts" or being relegated to division 3 either.

Don't remember being "dragged through the courts" or being in the third division with any of those other owners in the last 30 years.

Such an exciting player and the only guy I can remember who sometimes took penalties with the right foot and sometimes with the left. Best wishes for a speedy and full recovery.

Another pop at Tim Fisher?

Do you mind Otis - you've short-changed Tommy Hutch by at least four "greats"!!!!

But being set upon by the Emma Peel mob....... Now there's a thought ;)

In my view for it to be called "investment", money has not only to be put in - but has to be used in an intelligent way. They "invested" money last year to plug losses. They tried to reduce these losses by arbitrarily cutting costs, with the result that we were relegated, so cutting our...

In that first season, I think we'd have had a good chance of going back up if we'd kept the management team of the blessed Roland, Richard Money and Ray Clarke. It all started to go wrong when McGinnity sacked Money, sidelined Clarke and brought in Jim Smith. And don't get me started on the...

I started in exactly the same position as you - if anything, I was maybe more positive - I expected SISU to bring a serious degree of professionalism to the running of the club. At first, I thought they were doing well - I could see what the plan was, but then for whatever reason Plan A was...

I think that in an obscure way, I was trying to say that considered arguments from both sides are fine. There is an increasing (or so it appears to me) tendancy on the site to dismiss people's comments using exagerated comments taken out of context (e.g. someone once said that AT could have...

Don't you think that it's reasonable for people to form (and dare I even say change) their opinion, based on the actions of the object of that opinion? (I appreciate that you haven't explicitly criticised people for moving from a supportive to a critical opinion of SISU, but I don't think I'm...

Goes some way towards offsetting the £4m lost through relegation.... :D

This has to be nonsense. ACL have offered a reduction to £400k. TF has been posturing for circa £200k. It would appear then that the maximum gap is £200k. The attendance at the last match was circa 11k. Nene Park holds 6.5k. Given that 2k of these are standing, their pricing will have to...
