    Paul Barber to turn us around???

    "too many chiefs not enough indians" comes to mind His experience seems very different to being able to turn around a League 1 side on the financial brink - but I suppose we will see what he has to offer. Surely we know what the problems are and what is required to change it. Why do we need...

    Boothroyd

    I read what Boothroyd says ..... but then I remember that Colchester fans couldn't wait to get rid of him. He had a far better squad in depth and quality and when Plan A got found out had no alternative. He had enough tools to have done better and didnt. Significantly there was nowhere near as...

    Thorn speaks...

    Over the years I have found that, particularly when things reported in the press, the truth isnt what is reported but is a middle ground between all the statements. The board/SISU probably did say that there was a possibility that the club could be liquidated. In reality it isnt big news...

    I have an idea

    If AFC Coventry is such a good idea why hesitate just go and do it. FC Manchester did it and both they and MUFC seem to be doing ok. Because unless you actually form it and start playing then it is no threat at all. Unless you start the club, finance it organise it, sign players and play matches...

    SISU threaten to liquidate the club

    it might be true but not having been said by SISU and TF quite the way it is reported. It might be a statement of fact given to ACL...... "we have run out of money, the investors wont or cant source any more funds, unless we can sort out the finances there is a possibility of having to...

    Council refuse to lower Ricoh rent.

    So there have been talks everyone agrees on that ............ from the reports i have read everyone agrees there have been no negotiations ...... Daniel Gidney very clear on radio that ACL are not negotiating with CCFC or SISU ....... yet Mr Mutton implies CCFC should be negotiating not...

    SISU threaten to liquidate the club

    the loan cant be withdrawn there is no money to pay it. SISU investors can write it off if they choose but why would they unless part of a sale agreement. In their own minds there is probably little chance of recovery but that doesnt mean they have throw a debt away

    personally I thought his after match interview Saturday was one of his best this season

    Council refuse to lower Ricoh rent.

    I wonder .... if TF did say it whilst trying to talk about a rent reduction if it was a negotiating position ..... then I wonder if he had an alternative plan or two when he said it ............ just a thought

    Richard Keys tweet....!

    so a cost fixed since 2005 £1.2m - which is really the only involvement at CCFC by ACL, Council or Charity..... that was known and transparent and has not changed ..... at a time that CCFC didnt have enough money to pay its bills let alone purchase the stadium ...... and the mess of £30m losses...

    Council refuse to lower Ricoh rent.

    I have been generally supportive of the Council stance on this as put forward by Mr Mutton but I have to say that these comments border on the unhelpful. Seems to be threats on both sides Mr Mutton Personally I think that anyone with a bit more business savvy might have said something like...

    Suggestions for the CCFC review

    Good points stupot A while back there was a statement from the Everton CEO (I think) giving a thorough review of things - a regular statement like that would be good from the club

    Richard Keys tweet....!

    2010 accounts states it is the intention of the majority shareholders to provide or source financial support as it is expected to be required everyone goes on about a guarantee but that is not what has been said. SISU guaranteed nothing they stated an intention in a letter to the Board. We...

    Richard Keys tweet....!

    Administration is a period where the insolvency experts run a business for a period of time. During that time administrators must ensure the business doesnt lose further money, restructure the business, sell it or decide it cannot be saved and liquidate. SISU investors being the biggest...

    Richard Keys tweet....!

    usually yes but it doesn't have to stupot. A creditor could file to wind up and SISU/directors not fight it and we go out of business The assets of the football club have a charge over them yes ......... in favour of Sky Blue Sports & Leisure which is owned by the SISU investors. Last time I...

    Suggestions for the CCFC review

    Ok so we all have ideas we can contribute ...... from the small savings or marketing to the more grandiose. So perhaps it is time to start focusing forward rather than tearing each other apart looking at the past So what ideas do you have. This is not a "kick SISU out" is the solution thread -...

    Richard Keys tweet....!

    Dont think Keys is publicity seeking as far as this is concerned. I think it is simpler than that, he doesn't really understand the finance side of it,................. he picks up on the odd rumour or comment and rather than actually getting to the facts that are available blurts it all out...

    To be honest though I find a lot of your posting interesting and challenging to some other posters with respect I think this needs re thinking and applying to the realities
