    so where are we right now CCFC wise

    Just to add a couple of things SISU ....... I do not believe for one second that there has been a change in thinking by them. What has changed is that they have fewer options and choices they can make. Bottom line they want out but cant because of the client losses that would incur. They are...

    so where are we right now CCFC wise

    just a few thoughts really - havent found the link to TF's and to be honest I am almost at the point I am not interested in what he said. It will be the same things, the same spin, the same stating the obvious. It is often what he doesn't say that's important. Yes the business has to be...

    Joe Murphy

    surely to some degree Murphy can take advantage of a similar excuse that some use for AT......... the team in front of him. Westwood never had to play with such a small or young or under funded squad. That puts more pressure on Murphy..... highlights any mistakes or weakness Westwood was an...

    £1 million for Bigi

    what level of academy are we going to be? The new rules set certain criteria. Class 1 requires £2.5m to be spent each year on it so that wont be us !

    Do We Think SISU Are Changing?

    except we wont be paying out £1m (reportedly Bigi's sale price) on any one players wages and the limit of what we can actually spend is extended by £650k because of the sale don

    £1 million for Bigi

    I think what they are saying is that the money will be used to fund the football club ...... people tend to equate transfer fees with funding new players it isnt what he is saying.... TF is being careful with his words and the money will be used to fund the football operation which will include...

    sisu

    probably a completely different source of finance and only for that purpose sbj ..... never any liklihood that it could or would be spent on players

    sisu

    dont think it was the wages savings because it wasnt much it was the fact as to who was most saleable now..... lets be honest there are not many other players in the squad we could get £1m for however the payment is staged. It was that £1m that meant he was for sale. Short sighted yes in my...

    sisu

    NLHWC, dont mistake my comments for liking the fact that we are selling off our best talent. I didnt say or even try to sell it as good business by SISU but it is the only business that they have left to do given that they can not raise much in additional funds. Think you are missing another...

    sisu

    a quick look through it and there are a lot of similarities rob ..... although perhaps the current owners seem a bit more proactive in their support and plenty that ccfc could learn from

    sisu

    rob you know i do not buy into football being different because it is football :) Yes it has more social and community ties that it has to respect. Any business will flounder if it doesn't deal with investment in its future I do not disagree with that. Is it a simple decision ? no but you...

    sisu

    as usual jan all we can do is guess ...... i would say however that i have more faith in Waggott negotiating a decent deal for us than any other other jokers......... it is what he was brought in to do even if SISU say yea or neigh in the end (they wont be doing the negotiations)

    sisu

    Dont think CCFC will be receiving £1m up front ............ and even without paying the rent we were apparently still making losses, my guess is that before player dealings then there is still a shortfall budgeted for. Sale of a young player with some potential vs the survival of the club ...

    If the seaosn started tomorrow

    yes they are still here, which leaves a few possibilities - we ship them out - or find a way to get them to play...... I think Bell Baker and Sheffers will have a better season this year .... they know they often let us down last year

    £1 million for Bigi

    every team changes its personnel ...... and it is only the start of July so still plenty of time ..... the likes of Clingan, Eastwood and Crainie were never going to stay so there was always going to be a change ..... i think most fans problem with it all is that the squad is as yet not big...

    If the seaosn started tomorrow

    I might be being too conservative in my expectations but above all i want to see the team winning 40%+ of the games we play home and away plus a good proportion of draws first off. Get a bit of momentum and see where that takes us..... and given all concerned know we need some depth there will...
