Not with a zero cash transfer kitty and a mission statement of "reduce all costs regardless of consequence". Managers like to build, but there is no prospect of that whatsoever at CCFC under SISU. They lie, to the manager as much as the fans. Then there is the KD debacle-other managers will have...

Ah, I forgot Dann. I really don't think the Lukas sell on was as much as some think, but then with all the undisclosed fees, we'll never really know how close we are to break-even with player sales. One thing is for sure: they won't be able to do the same next season, there won't be the value...

CCFC have finally won something: the Most Divided Fans Award! Cherish it, lads, we've earned it.

Kudos to Cranie for the Baresi-dribble that led to the FK, but it kinda summed up his strengths versus his weaknesses (cultured versus defensive solidity). I'd have loved a fit McPake-type who just loves defending, but that ship has long sailed. Wood is just too much of a donkey (and is he out...

Ah, the KD Paradox: "We've massively slashed the wage bill, the club is almost on an even keel, I fought to keep Lukas.." Oh, right, well we won't need to cash in during January, then! Alright, light at the end of the tunnel! Doh...

Last time he made a fist of explaining the late goals he concluded that the players have been told enough what they were doing wrong and how to put it right, but they simply aren't good enough to put it into practise consistently. The only defensive strengthening we've had since then is...

MK Dons are a bigger and more attractive club at the moment, Rev. Robinson is there for the long haul. I wouldn't be surprised if we were one of the Championship clubs Smith said he rejected, instead choosing to go there. They have ambition. We certainly don't under SISU!

That's much better.

I've only just logged on, and I'm feeling similar stirrings..time to "log out" :p

Nah, yer want Murphy at the base of the diamond! C'mon Parsons, think it through properly! Although if anyone saw Ivanovic's laughable hands-behind-back effort for Chelsea yesterday, then maybe there's something in this...

Oh don't be so sad, you know full well that there are other revenue streams. What about programme sales, for one? Oh and you entirely missed my joke about you working for SISU. Well, maybe it is true?! And you have no way enough cynicism if you are happy to believe a man with such a skewed...

Yes, and all clubs do this. That's fine. Other clubs also replace them! We have stopped doing that. Which means when the next round of sales come along, the stock room will be bare. The only way to work this business model is to keep bringing in players that can later be sold for profit. In...

TBH, I've been saying what the OP said for about 4 months now! They'd sold all there quality players and were relying on kids and cheap gambles to replace them. At the very least, it suggests that keeping Murphy is vital to avoid befalling a similar fate.

Just what is all this expenditure going on, anyway? The board made it clear in the spring that henceforth the club would have to fund the shortfall with player sales. That's what's happened. We have other income streams too, you know...

I'm sorry, I didn't realise you had exclusive access to the latest accounts. So, you DO work for SISU, then?! I certainly don't believe a word that smug twat Fisher says.

Like the Sunderland players had stopped playing for Bruce. You don't see Wigan fans calling for Martinez's head, and that's because he's still got the dressing room on side. There is a lot of evidence that AT has not lost the dressing room, notably on the pitch, where there is no lack of effort...

I know you weren't saying we should get O'Neill: maybe you try reading my posts properly, eh? You said look at the O'Neill honeymoon period: but that impact is because O'Neill is a world class manager, and he also had a large and under-performing squad to re-energise. We won't get a manager...

No, the shortfall is made up by schemes such as mortgaging the ST sales: that much became obvious in the summer. I don't think they are putting their hands in their pockets any more. Dumbass! :wave:

The one thing that has kept my sporting pecker up of late has been cricket. Now normal service has been resumed and we're crap at that, too...for a brief moment it looked like either City won at footy or England won at cricket: after yesterday, it's neither!

Welcome, SBS. Cracking first post!
