It didn't give the club everything they wanted, they would have wanted to pay no rent at all. It was a compromise all along. Why it stalled on what appears to be a technicality only SISU can tell us, that I honestly don't understand, and for that clearly the finger must be pointed at SISU...

But they're not going to get the arrears, and they have already stated they would not have thrown the club out. So, now they will not get the arrears and it looks like they won't have the football club as a tenant either. They have played their hand appallingly. Not only that the club will...

The one thing you can't accuse SISU of is not giving in. They take 'not giving in' to a new level. JS is like a rabid dog that has just been prodded with a stick. And as for throwing their dummy out the cot, I can make several nominations on that front from both sides.

Totally agree, but that doesn't escape the fact that ACLs actions earlier in the week have made the whole situation a whole lot worse. Like I say, they have all conspired in the hellish mess.

So let me get this straight, a week ago we had a dispute (a big one yes), but we had a ground to play in and things were looking nicely poised for a late play off push. Now, following ACLs ill thought out stunt (heads should role for that), we are in administration and are packing our bags, and...

Coincidence? http://www.ccfcshop.co.uk

Sunday market revenues negate most of that I think. They have been very successful creating new income streams, so hats off for that. They turnover just under £6 million (much higher than many similar sized clubs in L1), whereas our turnover is likely to be not much more than £7 million...

The deduction is inevitable I think. No way the FL would want to deal with the shit storm from fans of other clubs if they take no action. They would have to explain their reasoning to a wider football public that have no clue as to the complexities of this case (a bit like most of us), and it...

A fair post. And in total agreement with the 'pretend county' comment. I wince every time I hear someone say they're from the "West Midlands". Somebody once told me you make as much from the Sunday market as you do an average matchday. That has to be nonsense surely?

That's a good point. Would be interesting to get that clarified.

Come back with this when you hear Ryton has been put up for sale, that's the only real asset we have.

The deal did indeed seem to fall down on a relatively trivial amount in the end, and it is hard to fathom why it was such a sticking point. I was just making the general point, that if you are going to measure expenditure for general overheads and such like against players wages then it is...

If there is as much snow tonight as they are predicting, getting out of Cov will be interesting tomorrow. More importantly though, they are expecting a shit load of rain on the south coast over the next 24 hours. Wouldn't surprise me if there is no game tomorrow.

For the first time ever, I actually agree with him.

I understand that, and it is a fair point.

It's a nonsense argument that you can easily flip on it's head. People who say attendances are too low, and argue that a thousand more on the gate would make a a difference; you could easily argue back that the extra revenue wouldn't even cover Wood and Bell's wages. True, but we'd still like...

Perhaps my understanding is a little fuzzy. We in effect went into administration last night, so if the FL decide a points deduction is warranted, surely it will be levied this season? The outcome of Tuesday is largely irrelevant as I see it.

People only started slinging mud after they had read the comments on their website. Seriously, don't expect to make jokes about the blitz and then expect nothing in return. If anyone has a superior attitude it is them, constantly bleating on about how they make a profit each year. Good for...

This is something we don't know. Were SISU ever close to agreeing a deal, or were they just throwing up objections for the sake of it? If it's the latter, I struggle to understand what their thought process was and where they thought this would all end. My gut feeling was that there was a...

Yeah, but apart from that it's been a blast :p
