Can you expand as I didn't attend yesterdays game?

Wonder what would happen if a group got together and threatened legal action against the FA or FL for letting a business take a club away from a community. Wonder if it would be possible to do?

Just goes to show how toothless football governance really is, bunch of old boys sitting round a table making rule changes not giving a toss about the grass roots, letting themselves be dictated to by the premier league and big business. Their only real responsibility now is Team England and...

Would they not be able to offset their tax liabilities on the profit making parts of their business by liquidating the loss making part ie CCFC?

I am on about the fact that as soon as a premier league club came in they saw the opportunity to make some money out of kids that they had not deemed fit to play for us. I fully support the premise that you nurture youngsters through and then sell them on for a large profit, as will probably...

Personal friend of the wife had two boys at the academy, both deemed not good enough and released but were both picked up by premier league clubs. When the club found this out they went back in for both on improved terms, their mother was under the impression they were only doing it for the...

The comment at the start of the thread is in my opinion is nearly right, I would change the word negative to apathetic. People get negative from the constant shit slinging from both sides of the debate whether its Sisu/ACL or sixfielders/NOPM. We are constantly fed drivel and no one will put...

It's been said before but you can't play football the city way on a potato patch. Returning to the Ricoh would let us stretch teams and turn the big mud pluggers we play against. Plus the extra 10k on the attendance would help the owners, it's simple logic really but it's ungraspable by the...

The Defendant secures investment capital. It uses that capital to invest in distressed businesses in return for an equity stake. Its plan is to turn around the failing business and then to realise the equity stake at a profit. The investment funds have a lifespan of 8 years, which can be...

The one thing that the managers of these potential loan players are looking for is will they get the experience that is needed in league one to get them to the next level at their own clubs. Premier league will loan fringe players to the championship but only youth players to the likes of us...

The unfortunate thing about all this for me is the law as it stands. Did the accusers lie to the police? I know of someone who was accused of the same thing that was supposed to have happened 10 years ago. Every one new that he was not the type of person to do that crime, but the police still...

Unfortunately SISU will never accept accountability for anything they do. They operate in the shadows and treat everyone like mushrooms, theirs only ever denial and their version of events. Everything thing else is collateral damage that is a by product of them reaching their goals, its a good...

Its a shame that another team will play their, but its only 8 games and theirs more than that in a season so I don't think its as big an issue as some think, they may not even play on a Saturday. The issue for me is SISU, while their here we are going no where fast. NOPM

Link please

Pete Chambers is just left wing when it comes to the Council verses Sisu. His mantra is he supports the team not the owners and wants city back at the Ricoh, however he thinks that any form of demonstration is futile as the owners will stick to their plan and wont listen, which is fair comment...

I cant see SISU relinquishing ownership of the Ricoh if they return the club back to the city and win the JR. They are motivated by return on investment, although the club would be home I think you can replace ACL/CCC with SISU, the rent would just go to a different owner. They have stated a...

Stop the bickering gentlemen, Waggott seems to be the acceptable face of SISU nowadays. I think he has done a good job under very difficult circumstances, his hands will be tied by his paymasters, but when SISU leave I would genuinely like to see him stay. He has not bull shitted us in any of...

5 minutes of Fame Nick, followed by a life time of infamy.

The only way the football league will do anything is if they are forced to. It wont be down to a lack of progress by SISU either, it will be because government have had to force through good governance laws to protect the game from all the parasites that continually take a piece from the pie. I...

Bad does not follow, not all hedge funds act in the way SISU have. I think you should change the title and end it with BAD BUSINESS PRACTICE. I don't think SISU initially set out to take us where we are, but if you alienate your self from the wealth of your club which is and will always be the...
