But who could ever have predicted that a press conference would "just be talking"? You couldn't make it up...........

People often think of investment as the purchase of shares, but many "investments" are a combination of shares and loans. As noted above there are good tax reasons for using loans. I think we all knew from the start that SISU were not planning to own CCFC forever, but were hoping to make a...

Bloody kids...............

Great plan - except I'd expect them to ask for guarantees on the money due to them.

I think they'd snap anyone's hand off for a reasonable percentage of what they've put in!

My (somewhat ageing) memory says that I was much more upset by Dennis going. Also by the time Psycho went, freedon of contract was in and it was much more difficult to hang on to players who wanted to go.

Lots of questions in there - to pick out a couple: The whole purpose of incorporating a limited company is that the owner (shareholder) is not liable for its debts (except in certain specific circumstances - trading insolvent etc....). In groups of companies it is perfectly standard for the...

That's the way it works. If they make it as a loan, the interest is offsetable against tax so if we ever make a profit they'll have lots of losses to carry forward to remove the tax bill. If (when?) they sell the club, the tax losses will be one of the few assets the company will have!

It's a long time ago and difficult to be sure about what we thought at the time, but my memory is that we'd just bought Barry Powell and the two of them had struck up a very promising midfield partnership. Dennis had also been a bit of a star with England under 23's (before the days of under...

Just read it Rob - let's hope that GH is making good headway with a group of Chinese billionaires!!

True, that would have really pissed me off!!

I think this has to be possibly good news - at the very least hopeful news. The reason for the disappointment on the forum seems to be the rather large oversell by the CT. If they'd just done an article confirming that GH was looking for investment, most of us would have been pretty happy...

Not completely true..... I think my blackest day in the 70's was when I heard that Dennis Mortimer had been sold to Villa. I seem to recall the Chairman (a certain J. Hill) justifying the sale on the grounds that it would put us on a solid financial footing and allow us to exploit the...

I think you'll find that that's Leicester's target market!!

The problem is, I'm not sure how you make a great business case out of CCFC.

Legally you're of course quite right Tommy, but I bet that the AFC Wimbledon fans do see their club as the continuation of the old Wimbledon. Similarly, my local team, Telford United, went bust a few years back but the fans seem to regard AFC Telford as the "same club". Still, lets hope this...

A promising start but it depends how much of the £20m - £30m (whatever the figure is) that SISU have invested, they are prepared to write off - together with how much money RR can raise.

Words of wisdom to see you through life's troubles.

I think the only meaningful question is how much of their investment are they prepared to write off, if we can find a potential buyer.

A personal favourite!
