    CCFC Statement - Hmmmm, really?

    Agree with some, you sell anything then you maximise the potential to any prospective investor/purchaser (unless it is a "need" commodity ..... this clearly is not). No great mystery just basic salesmanship You get the item in the best state you can in order to get the best price..... in this...

    Dilieu Resigns!

    Think both sides are as guilty as each other in terms of dirty tricks CUSW. All depends if you think the "deal" is (a) possible and (b) the best structure for the club as to whether Keys adds anything at all. I would say the answer is no to both. I do accept that he is entitled to his input...

    Next win/points.

    having been proven wrong in november I look forward to being proven wrong again. I thought we wouldnt get any points last month - we got a whole mighty 1 point So December ........ I reckon from the 5 matches we will get 5 points (including 1 win). Nowhere near enough as to have any hope we...

    Dilieu Resigns!

    Keys putting such information in to the public domain is neither helpful to the situation nor meaningful. The other day he said the same offer was still on the table so they can expect the same answer I would have thought. Always did like the sound of his own voice imo.

    Thursday dec 1

    for gods sake grow up and act your age. If you have something to say, something that is important to the rest of the fans have the courage of your convictions and say it. Clearly you believe it is certain to happen. Or are you just going to start claiming credit for every little snippet that...

    Dilieu Resigns!

    Please before we read into this that the takeover is on etc etc can we actually wait to see what happens. It could just be exactly what it says it is.

    Ownership - what should it be?

    Surely it depends more on viability of the business, security on offer, ability to repay etc. There are plenty of enterprises with multiple investors that raise finance. Tough times to get finance anywhere but if we live within means then the business case is better, and the need for major loans...

    Ownership - what should it be?

    Think the fans have got to start to realise that CCFC no longer holds the power at the Ricoh. It accounts for 17% of Ricoh income and ACL are expanding alternative income streams so that %age is going to get smaller for the forseeable future. CCFC is already sidelined to some degree, if they...

    Statistically, is this close to City's worst run ever?

    I think that the team has forgotten how to win let alone the fans...... losing like winning can almost become a habit There is a good argument to say that losing or failure has become the prevailing attitude at CCFC

    Dilieu Resigns!

    It will be interesting to see who steps forward as this local businessman to be chairman but I wouldnt mind betting it ends up being Clarke ....... already in place, local, suddenly a bit more prominent etc :thinking about:

    Dilieu Resigns!

    Does this mean that John Clarke is now acting Chairman ? Not sure KD not being chairman makes much difference in reality

    Ownership - what should it be?

    This isnt a discussion of who so lets be clear I am not looking at the merits (?) of SISU or GH consortium or any other. What do we the fans want to see as to how the club is owned? The next change of ownership is an opportunity to really engage the fans but will it be more of the same?. Can...

    Sky Blues stay up by default ?

    only in so far as they posted £11m losses for the second year running NLHWC. Dont think there is any threat of administration though Their wage bill was £15.9m last year!

    Investors have to look at the bigger picture Godiva - maybe gift or write off some to gain far greater value I said creative not risky or dodgy. Buying back the advertising income stream would be creative and give the possibility of increasing returns. It does not mean living outside of our...

    That depends on how it is spent and how it is put into the club. Say you purchased the advertising and food outlet rights to the stadium - that would be income generating in theory say you gave the club £10m loan and wrote it off against the purchase and or wages of a player or two - wouldnt...

    I know jan it doesnt make sense. why pay out £10m for the shares knowing you wont get any return for 10 to 12 years. Infact knowing that it will actually cost more because of contributions to other development costs. ACL are all about inward investment CCFC would not be allowed to sweep funds...

    Thing is Sub the Ricoh does so many other things now and is expanding their events that any loss from CCFC is being made up from other events. They have a plan forward that is well financed and workable, they have realistic targets know how to get there and are well managed. They will have...
