got my doubts ER (not doubting you were told it and you are relaying it in good faith).... my understanding is that neither the council nor charity will even consider selling their interests in ACL or freehold until they know that the club is viable (plus other criteria)- i don't see how that...

ever consider he wholeheartedly believes that they are good enough and that he just hasnt been able to find the winning formula. He could actually mean what he says and not be saying one thing but meaning another as some seem to assume.

but it isnt just saying it though is it ........... he backs it up with his game stats ..... which show to him at least that we have a squad capable of being much higher up the league. So it isnt all down to the funding from SISU or the quality of our squad..... there is more to it than that...

But AT insists he has the players to get out of this (his words not mine) - so are we saying he doesnt know what he is saying or that we dont understand as much as we think we do. Because if the squad is good enough for him then his results record is very poor by anyones standards irrespective...

Losing players is a fact of life - he knew what he was getting into. I would argue that the 10 games last season also included a big element of new manager syndrome and players playing with freedom as opposed to under AB. In some of those games we could easily have been losing before we scored...

still leaves two other relegation spots and still relies on us actually winning some games. i hope we stay up but I wouldnt bet my mortgage on it!

It might not be quite that straight forward http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/17013408

Nimely shocked by so many dangerous balloons in the crowd

so SISU allow a demonstration outside the ground by 300 people chanting SISU out but insist that blue and white balloons some with SISU OUT on should be confiscated by the Reading stewards. Wasnt it supposed to be a back the boys trip ? Just out of interest when was the decision to take the...

Hi rob - not got the accounts to hand so this is from memory Turnover is approx £6.6m pa and ACL make £550k from that after costs. The accounts are not going to split out the various sources of income however a whole chunk of any such income will not be just CCFC derived. For instance whether...

Essentially BSB it is the vehicle that the Council and Charity used to help yes (it is a bit more complicated than that companies owning companies and leases being transferred but yes). Without the help of ACL, the Charity and Council the club could well have been out of business long before...

Think we need to give the lad a chance. Has only been here a few days and few players go to a new club and make an immediate impact ala Nimely against Middlesboro. Sir Alex wouldnt have him on the books if he didnt see some quality in him and it cant be easy coming to a struggling team. Give him...

AT believes that the players he has are good enough. He bemoans the teams bad luck in not taking more points. A run like CCFC are having this season is more than bad luck. The whole playing side is simply not good enough and that includes AT. AT is happy to quote the stats at anyone as to how...

just to be argumentative ........... having those players didnt seem to have made much difference...... come the end of last season - we were still fighting against relegation, losing millions financially, losing supporters, all strangely familiar this season, last season, the season before etc...

How exactly are we going to be able afford to buy another ground ????????????? then build a new stadium on it ????????? when we cant afford to pay the wages of a couple of decent loan players ??????????? - reality check please - buying half the shares in ACL will have no effect on the rent...

Couple this with the FFP rules and the new premiership driven rules on young player transfers and I can see a lot of clubs really struggling...

Thing is Nick I think he was doing just enough not to be. My understanding (might be incorrect) is that he would make training as required but not be good enough to be considered, there was also a calf injury that apparently couldnt be cured quickly. The club I think would have been advised that...

SBS on the basis that ...... 1)AT is not going to turn round and say he has lost the confidence of the players and 2) no player is going to say he has no confidence in the manager how exactly do we know what the real feeling in the squad is ?

of course we could look at it differently .......... that it is actually just opinions expressed on a forum that differ from one person to the next, that may be even be directly opposing, all voiced by supporters of CCFC who show that support in whatever way they are best able to or choose...

I hate being a killjoy but info I have is that no discussions have happened involving all the stake holders in ACL and as they own the long lease on the site you might expect there should have been - buying the freehold doesnt get rid of ACL as a tenant. Plus GH is buying nothing and only...
