If we survive you would have to say he deserves to be kept on ...... because he will have led the club to that against the odds. But loyalty and sympathy count for little in football as we all know. Still not convinced by him personally but thats just my opinion

Having seen him after the match I hope he is fit for saturday. Apparently unable to train this week due to swollen ankle and knee. He didnt think he could play last night because of it. Was limping quite badly after the game. Think what he could do if he were fit!

I dont think we will miss him next season, but while he is here we need to use him. Will be interesting to see how AT rotates the 4 central midfielders when they are all fit. Personally I would like to see Thomas and Norwood playing together. I hope Clingan has his place on merit not just...

Yes it should help with the fair play rules - which would allow us to pay out more wages but it wont provide more cash with which to pay them though - which is the catch. ACL/Council/charity has no plans to distribute any funds from ACL and cant legally at the moment any way. That means any CCFC...

Personally am happy to say AT and the team got it right last night. Have no problem in having an opinion on his merits or failings and expressing my views on both. Think you will find I have expressed both before on other threads. It doesnt have to be the same opinion as anyone else or need to...

Kind of beggars belief that a club in their situation is still spending money they cannot afford. No sympathy for the manager at all especially when you look at our own financial predicament and how we have had to deal with it. As for players being tired :facepalm: despite their quality at...

For me Platt was MOM - was the best I have seen from him. Work rate, commitment, got his body in the way, showed some nice touches, held the ball up well, linked well with Nimely etc .......... Would also give Nimely extra praise because in his interview in the "Yorkshire" afterwards he...

Hear what you are saying Jim but 50% isnt control and ACL would be an associated company not subsidiary. Control effectively would remain with the council who own the freehold and are therefore the dominant shareholder. There is also a profits formula included in ACL accounts that gives the...

certainly seems that way ......... we just have to be patient i guess

Actually @richh87 i wouldnt expect the investors are involved much. They have appointed SISU to deal with all matters on their behalf. I would guess the only time they will be consulted will be if a deal is arrived at between GH & SISU, they may be asked to approve it at that point. But they may...

That is a very good question. The only reason I can think of is to take a longer term view utilise the option to buy at a less than market value 50% with a plan to buy the rest later. We dont even know if the Charity or Council would approve the sale, certainly I know they would require any...

thats spot on to what i know jan. All profits are to be reinvested or used to pay debt off not distributed to shareholders In addition no company can distribute profits unless there are distributable reserves to do so (ie a positive balance). ACL shows a negative position circa £2m. There is...

because they are not buying 50% of the stadium they are buying 50% of the shares in ACL. The only way you get a return on shares is by dividend and as ACL cannot legally pay dividends (because it has a negative P&L account)and has no plans to vote any dividends then there is no additional...

buying 50% of the shares in ACL would neither reduce the rent nor increase income BSB

Actually they could have just sacked him as CEO and left the shares he owned where they were - we didnt have to run out of money to sack him. Only caveat to that would be the terms of any shareholder agreement. SISU controlled over 75% of the shares they could have had an emergency general...

I did say on my first post on this thread that I was being argumentative guys. Personally I dont blame AT for all the ills and misfortunes at CCFC - I never have. I have always said he is part of the problem just as much as part of the solution however. Without doubt he has been found wanting...

Hear what you say Jack but any business needs to know and control its costs no matter what the general economic conditions or changing circumstances. They took their eye off the ball and gave themselves a mess to deal with in some respects. SISU are specialists in turning round ailing businesses...

I dont have a problem with the fundamental idea of balancing the books by controlling costs - I think it is essential. The problem I have is how SISU have operated that control and communicated their "plan" to the fans. Dealing with the calamitous state of CCFC finances was always going to be a...

not what ER was told though is it .... was told the deal was done ......... which you might think ACL and charity would be aware of. Proof of funds could only be provided on any purchase of the stadium because they dont know what the deal is for the club. But viability isnt about the purchase...

We seem submerged in so many negatives so I wondered if there were any positives we can take from this season in anything happening at CCFC and the Ricoh. There are few I can think of - the emergence of our younger players particularly Christie and Thomas - the form of Keogh - The Ricoh...
