The council and Higgs trust cant buy the club ........... local authority and charity rules would not permit it. How would the council running a loss making and cashflow deficit company help them ? The club in its present form would still make losses and Council could not provide funds for new...

but surely LB was in Canada ........ or Russia ........ USA........ maybe Portugal .......... anywhere but England cos he may have to watch us for once !

Too many big egos involved and until the real problems are addressed this club goes nowhere. JE - as has been said he has been involved in successive boards that have compounded the problems at the club. He isnt on the current Board, doesnt hold a current office is kept away from decision...

This mess is down to more than SISU

Sorry Rich but as it stands it isnt GH who is coming in even if SISU leave........ as I understand it he is the go between between the investors he has found and SISU - so far I havent seen much of substance from him or his backers, even less that would make SISU go. Time for SISU to put money...

AT might be an ex-player and an ex-chief scout but some people forget that he has little management experience and is learning the job as he goes along. It is the bad times that make the man not the times when it is easy.......... give him time.

Just saw the goals on sky ...... poor defending and equally poor keeping...... not good enough

not sure its that simple. Trouble is we dont know how many investors are in each fund or who and what the investment instructions they have given the managing agents. Whilst the managers can advise, the investors give them the parameters and make the decision to invest, invest more or withdraw...

on a seperate point what is wrong with a bit of banter? Life is too short to be serious all the time or to think that someone else might not have a different viewpoint. If someone lightens the mood I am all for it ......... doesnt make them less of a contributor but does mean that we dont get...

ok now my head is clear of the couple of pints i had last night lets see what sod i know about the SISU Capital Limited loss. First off they are group accounts that pull together all the results of the subsidiaries they own. Strangely the tunrnover for 2011 is just over £3m in total. Which...

There was talk of Freddy Shepherd ex of Newcastle but to be honest we are not going to find out necessarily even if a deal is done with them. For all we know the equity funds managed by SISU could be full of money from "football men" and I am guessing that GH's backers will set up in a similar...

would that be the same way that we used it the year before then ? Clearly there was a plan to ensure the bills were met and therefore no plan for administration and a director of the club should have known that. Not saying it cant or wont happen but I think the scare mongering that goes on does...

right now i think anyone coming in would lift everyones spirits!

Sorry Paxman got to disagree on something getting 50% of the shares in ACL does not give us a right to income at all. Any distribution can be blocked by the council but more importantly income would be from dividends on the shares and ACL cannot pay dividends legally because there are no...

source? doesnt make sense. So they get paid for the 3 players twice (pocket the money then ask for it in the meeting with GH)? Turner isnt even fit how are we going to sell him? more wild speculation in which case...... what I have heard is that the club have found investors....... are...

Couple things.... Having also done the figures, based on the accounts, I have to agree with shmmee that the club are approx £1m to the good on player dealings during SISU's tenure (btw EAstwood bought before SISU came in so they cant be blamed for him). A lot of the signings though have been...

Actually I think the way out of this is a cross between RR's intentions for the squad and what SISU are doing with the finances. I think where each were wrong is that RR didnt tailor things so that the club lived within its means in terms of player dealings. Where SISU have it wrong is that...

As for the forum last night it doesnt sound as if much was revealed. Not sure these events are much use if nothing is shared We all know that CCFC is a private company, that the directors dont have to share sensitive info, but I also think there is an opportunity at these events to give...

from a financial point of view so long as it is up because of paying customers then thats good. Would like to think that might continue on average for the season but I have my doubts

That cloughie is a very good question. Whilst living within our means is the right thing to do, i do think it is convenient for the board to use as an excuse not to finance any investment in new players etc. Higher wages and player contracts will be locked in for next 2 to 3 years at some clubs...
