    Club to receive 'continued funding'

    thoughts No i dont think there is going to be any backing from Northern Rock - still a bank in crisis and arent they government owned ? would be up roar if they invested in ccfc The statement is at least the official one not the chosen journo bites of the CT reporter so carries more weight...

    City board ready to meet hoffman

    KD is stating the obvious but then again what would you have him say - that SISU isnt going to fund the the next twelve months ? We are looking to sell our best players just to keep the club afloat? GH might have funds but we dont want to meet him? Of course not Frankly it isnt what KD...

    Fans forum

    Think there were a few strange things that AB did ...... when i got the stadium tour I was told that the changing room was split so that only those who had played a certain number of games in the team sat in the main part any new players sat seperate - surely those were the players that needed...

    "Jaw Dropping" story in tomorrows telegraph?

    well my three kids could each point to teachers that have made a difference to them, have inspired them to achieve things ...... so i think it is a reasonable assumption there might just be other teachers that do the same. Clearly your experience is somewhat more jaded

    "Jaw Dropping" story in tomorrows telegraph?

    shock ........ CT prints something relevant, factual, useful and accurate without sensationalist headlines or tweets....... then I pinched myself and woke up The headmaster is paid ( and seemingly not the highest paid) for making a positive difference to our kids and society .... do the...

    dreading the start of the season...

    ok am going to play devils advocate .......... (personally I think we need a couple of attacking players and a creative midfielder but thats to strenthen the depth as much as anything) We go on about the players we have lost ............ now those were the same players that got us to the dizzy...

    SISU to continue to finance club

    Have to agree it would be good if the Board clearly explained their strategy. What is their strategy for the squad? Finance wise it is all geared to minimising costs but how are they planning on doing this?. We all think we know but it would be good for them to state clearly what is going on...

    SISU to continue to finance club

    Dont actually see why this is news. Had already given that undertaking in April so that the 2010 accounts could be signed off Nothing has actually changed for SISU or GH Another slow news day then at the CT

    Takeover update

    got to agree with Rob. I can't see a partnership between GH & SISU working there is obviously a lot of bad blood between them if press statements and reports are to be believed. Also think the finances are a reflection of attendances dropping as much as not selling Westwood & Gunnar who...

    Takeover update

    assuming the starting point in my assumptions is correct that losses were £500K reduced to nearer £300K by wages savings then yes i think there is possibly a cashflow shortfall of between £2 and 3m is about right. As investors they might see that as moving in the right direction and fund it...

    Takeover update

    lot of discussion about words So some facts. Ransons quote and its repetition is actually incorrect if read as debt free..... he always did choose his words carefully, and relied on portraying the debt to SISU as owing themselves so debt free. There were after the takeover no other loans and...

    citybid £500,000 for le fondre

    Per the accounts there was a total of £986400 to be paid out for new transfer fees after 31/05/10 and we only purchased Platt & Jutkiewicz after 31/05/10 the rest were on free transfers. I think it was reported that Platt cost £50K so that puts Juke at £936K

    Subs reduced from 7 to 5

    Think i said that the savings would be minor, certainly for us - but maybe that will be more significant the further down the leagues you go, and this is for all the Football League. Bottom line is that clubs are going to look at anything that helps them save money because survival comes first...

    Subs reduced from 7 to 5

    "OSB - if they want to seriously cut the wage clubs are paying out they should introduce a limit on the squad." Wasnt thinking it would be the mainstay of cost savings just a minor contribution Marty Actually if they really want to address wage costs they would have the balls to only pay...

    Subs reduced from 7 to 5

    I think it is sensible in terms of finance. Clubs will have to look at the size of their squads for all their teams. It will mean less players on the wage bill - which might be significant if you have reserve and academy sides as well requiring 7 subs. Players want to play not be bench warmers...

    Scott Dann Rumour

    so lets get this straight they hang on for 10% of anything over £3.5 million that may or may not happen but in the mean time continue to make losses at the club . So sold for £10m we get £650K and reportedly we lose £500K pm. Where is the advantage SISU get ????? Think like many other rumours...

    Board to discuss Hoffman bid on Friday?

    Everyone keeps saying about pressure on SISU but they arent actually here they are enscounced in a plush office in London, the pressure is on the Board who actually do not have the final say. SISU are money men interested in financial return and frankly I doubt that the fans are having much...

    Board to discuss Hoffman bid on Friday?

    You know the more that little snippets are leaked the less confident I am that a deal will be done. The people involved in negotiating the deal should just get on and get done or walk away not be playing PR games I might well be wrong but all the information bites coming from the proposed new...
