    Are we getting our knickers in a twist over nothing?

    Just looking back over the media reports on the bid there is no direct statement from Hoffman saying a bid was in nor is there a direct quote from Dulieu, Clouting or anyone that they hadn't received a bid. Far be it from me to suggest that the CET is just making it up as it goes along but...

    In all the confusion who missed the good news?

    Paxman -in the same interview he also said we hadn't brought anyone in because of finance, that we were trying to bring some players in, that we were looking at a couple, that we would try but finances were a stumbling block and he couldn't promise anything. In his usual bullshit style he made a...

    Admin is a better option than SISU

    Whilst not a great advocate of protests - if we truly believe that Ken and Barbie are blocking the truth from SISU then getting their name dragged through the press may force them to at least question why such a small and insignificant part of their portfolio is giving them so much bad...

    No Hoffman Bid

    That is the impression I get - the tone of Dulieu at the weekend was insulting and patronising towards Hoffman but at the time I put it down to his natural arrogance as an ex-copper but I am rapidly coming to the conclusion that they simply don't want to do business with him. It goes back to...

    Admin is a better option than SISU

    Cannot see Ken and Barbie (sorry Clouting) being a stumbling block as if they become one Hoffman would simply sidestep them and go direct to Sepalla or whoever at SISU. These two are small time nobodies in the greater scheme of things and I am sure Hoff has dealt with pathetic gatekeepers like...

    "Ken Dulieu to take matter up with Royal Mail"

    Ken is so intent on doing what's best for OUR club that he has sodded off back to his sun lounger in Portugal. Wonder if the problem is that Hoffman sent it recorded delivery and there is no one there to sign for it so its gone back to the sorting office.

    CCFC Statement on offal

    For me the worrying part is that we are starting to build up debt outside the SISU family - mortgaging to third parties, borrowing from banks etc - I guess SISU are underwriting these but should we start defaulting on them how will they react? That is when admin could become a reality. Also the...

    CCFC Statement on offal

    Lets not forget we are saving the £300k a year we were paying for Ransons services - so that must be mitigated against any costs of Dulieu Clouting etc

    Mr Dulieu - Capcon Doing Well Then

    Kenny Boy's company Capcon - seems to be some sort of industrial snooping set up is suffering from Ken's golden touch - results for first 6 months of 2011 2011 sales down 7% £1.44m (£1.55m in 2010) 2011 pre tax loss £142,600 (£61,600 loss in 2010) Looking at those results its no wonder you need...

    An outsider's view...

    Thanks for those kind words and welcome to you and your lad to the Sky Blue family. It's not the greatest time for us at present but we live in hope that it may get better, although I fear it may get worse before we hit the upward curve. Anyway come back soon PUSB (play up Sky Blues)

    Not all fans are thick, Ken Dulux !

    I could be wrong, and hopefully OSB will correct me if I am, but in next years accounts for SBS&L they will have to list Directors remuneration - not sure if they can just put one lump sum or list it by individuals. Obviously thats next year and we may not be around as a club by then so it would...

    CCFC - Once an innovative club

    I understand the charming and delightful Ken Bates has said something similar to Leeds fans in the recent past, although I think his was a throw away put down. Our clowns are seriously considering this as a viable option.

    No new players then.....

    I agree with you Duff that in reality we won't see anyone in unless they are free loan with the parent company subbing the wages 100%. I just find it incredible that in the afternoon he pronounces to the world that we are looking for new players and then in the evening tells some supporters if...

    No new players then.....

    Much as I distrust our Chairman even in my most cynical I cannot give this story credence. On Saturday Dulieu stated that we were working on transfers/loans and he hoped to have a couple of new faces in before the end of the window - surely not even he could be such a bare faced liar? Maybe on...

    Will Burnley Be Back In For Juke?

    Burnley were sniffing around after Juke a little while back and have some money from sale of Eagles and Mears. Now Danny Ings has picked up a long term injury and Patterson is still some way off fitness - just wondered if they might be back in for Juke. I hope not but can see our current (and...

    Hoffman to make offical bid

    No Godiva I dont want you to leave - differences of opinion and discussion are the lifeblood of any forum - as long as people can be reasoned and not resort to personal insults then a board will thrive and be entertaining and informative. If you are one of the board the good - perhaps you could...

    Both statements add up to the same thing - at present they don't exist

    Hoffman to make offical bid

    Financial Fair Play Regulations - that old smokescreen. What are all the other clubs in our division doing? What sanctions will be imposed on us if we break the, as yet unwritten, unagreed regulations, agreed in principle but not adopted yet . As I understand it there would firstly be a transfer...

    Hoffman to make offical bid

    So the business plan lowers costs - fine and then cover deficit with sale of one of our best players - not so fine. Even if we do bring in 2 players will they mitigate the loss of Clingan/Juke - unlikely so just a further eduction in team quality. Just hope the business plan contains a large...
