surely they are not bringing back Mo Konjic ? :D

yes Nick I am watching some of it. Beats me how he does some of the tricks, very clever. Wonder if he could conjure up success at CCFC ? :D:thinking about:

trying to figure out any way that we might miss him given his record over the last 4 years, especially last year

just the small matter of £14m bribes paid to FIFA members Havelange (ex president of FIFA) & Teixeira ! http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18804464 Blatter seems to support the investigations ....... didnt seem to, along with many other FIFA members, when the BBC and others in the british...

Public bickering like this does no one any favours Whelan should have kept his mouth shut. If he had to say anything it should have been "Enquired about coming on board to help the team, nothing happening at the moment" and leave it at that All AT had to say was "there was an enquiry but we...

yes but it works for Barcelona because the whole club from the smallest juniors to the first team play in the same way, simply not the case here........... last year first team played a diamond and the academy more of a 4:4:2. Not to mention spanish teams teach the players to be comfortable on...

Some of the things I would like to know and in no particular order except the first one and the last one - what is the plan - what is the optimum number of players per the budget - does that number match AT's expectations - has an actual figure been discussed for rent, what date did proper...

I think that ACL etc would go for it though ....... so that would take away the ability of SISU to blame everyone else regarding the rent.... much of their recent PR for CCFC has contained a persistent thread of ACL etc being unreasonable in charging too much..... if CCFC didnt go for something...

CCFC are driving down the escrow account......... i think we can all agree on that .... it was dead money to them, that they could not utilise. Say that a fair or agreed rent for the ground in League 1 was £600kpa. That means that the escrow account has paid half this financial years rent...

the stewards etc included as a CCFCH cost already according to the accounts so club would make savings accordingly ..... but guess I am asking how serious is the cost cutting or is it selective. If the rent was able to be cut by doing this would ACL go for it, would CCFC go for it ? Has it been...

thats just the rent what about other expenses and costs that might be due to ACL ? Some staff are shared, should imagine there will be some utilities recharged ..... are those costs up to date or covered by the escrow account? or are these overdue ?

Just a thought on the rent ..... perhaps they could, as crowds are predicted to be substantially lower, use less of the stands and thereby reduce the rent. Not very satisfactory I know but perhaps an option. I don't know just throwing in ideas ...... but say close either or both ends...

but the real agenda has nothing to do with making the club a success though does it ...... in reality they just need to stop it making losses - break even will do. The real agenda is simply about getting their hands on the Ricoh as cheap as possible to maximise the return for their investors...

I dont understand why the business plan is separate to the restructuring ...... surely it is all part of the same process. Or it should be Also why does a private company need to clear the business plan with the council before implementing it...... presenting three cases for the council to...

in theory wingy you could take out a second charge on the assets yes but with the ARVO debt probably bigger than the value of the assets then it is very unlikely that any lender would do so.

Sorry to be argumentative Godiva :) :wave: just giving some alternatives One thing everyone needs to bear in mind is that hedge funds do not change in nature and are driven solely by money and investment return. Do we take at face value or assume there are things going on behind the scenes...

My starting point would be that i agree..... have always honoured any business agreement I have been in.... but that doesnt mean that contracts cannot be reviewed and/or altered. The decision is for ACL, I think public announcements by council or its leader are not helpful, mislead people to...

another thought on a thought that perhaps hasnt been highlighted enough (I know some posters have provided some good commentary on it) ..... In my opinion aside from the 3 new players coming the best news last week that came out was that we are going to be a category 2 academy. The ability to...

as far as i can see you both win Godiva :D the 21m that wingy was quoting was the losses since SISU took over the £29m is the total of monies put into the Group to fund losses plus original investment Gold star to both as far as i am concerned :D

Sub and skyblueman ...... I agree thats what they signed up for ...... even go to suggest that reducing the rent is like rewarding failure...... however I think I take a more pragmatic view. It is better for all concerned to be paying a lower rent for now in League 1 than to have the club go...
