But why are they so quiet at home games? Could not hear a thing at Oxford last week, and I was on the SBA side of the halfway line.

I am repeating myself, but we need SISU to win this. They are the club's owners, like it or not. They have shown in the last 2 years that after 8 years of trying they have finally worked out how you run a football business moderately successfully. It took them long enough. We can only be rid of...

Has SISU got an eye on EFL with this new openness? So, even if Council has not broken the law, they appear to have been underhand in their dealing with the clubs owners So for example should we have to play at a sub-standard ground or one that is too distant from the city, EFL may take a more...

Finally got round for doing some of these Burge 4 The goal was primarily his fault. Every opposition corner is a test of our nervous systems. Most keepers are “good shot stoppers” it is the reason they became goalies in the first place, it’s the day job. Burge does not do much beyond that. I...

IN SISU's time I calculate 9 managers including Robins twice. Give them 2.5 out of 9 (Robins x 2 and Mopwbray x 50%) Every one of those appointments deems to make sense at the time even Andy Thorne. Getting a good manager is harder than it looks

No Bobby Mac was that

Not forgotten though. The top 3 are my 3 favourites of all time. God we need a Yorath right now. Setters kept us up almost single-handedly. Gibbo was "king of Coventry" Sealey was ghastly. He only ever kicked long and took about 10 minutes over it

If this has been said then apologies, but TF might be flying a kite. You put out an easily deniable rumour to test how people react and if there is too much negative reaction. If there is a lot, you just deny the story. I know TF denied it pretty quickly which would indicate he wasn't flying a...

Agreed

No, 19 wingers!

I think you are right about SISU although their better record is a bit "Robins dependent" they have made 9 managerial appointments iirc, of which only Robins x 2 and Mowbray x 50% have worked

Our panic buys last year were Davies (which has worked) and JCH (who has been moved on) otherwise we seem to stick to loans. This is much much less risky, and so a better way to do panic acquisitions. Sometimes do you need to panic, and we needed an alternative to Max up front last season as...

Why a meal out? Why her and not Fisher? Is it? "The deal is done Mark, now lets celebrate", or "Mark please reconsider your resignation?" Or "Mark I've booked a suite upstairs for an afternoon's slap and tickle" C'mon you Kremlin watchers what does it all mean

Cost to run CCFC - £120k per month. Cost to run Derby in the Championship 10 x that Interesting................

The last para - this has always bugged me as well

This is one measure that is in the eye of the beholder. Un the Proof of Funds point is well expressed and should be noted by readers

I actually think, after a decade of cock ups, Fisher has worked out how to run the finances of a lower league team, what the numbers are, what you need to spend, and how. However it does depend on having a good manager and thus far Robins is the only good one he has ever found out of 9...

In terms of the budget for player acquisition and wages - the key measure for fans - Hoffman is unlikely to be much different from the current day to day set up under SISU. They do not seem to have the muscle to be sugar daddies, so it would be as you were.

Re: Hoffman et al. Be careful what you wish for. Would they be able to fund the ongoing losses the club makes/

Isn't the problem (Problems, problems I hear you say) that if SISU lose their action, then Wasps, whom you all hate, will be in charge in perpetuity and will have CCFC over a barrel regarding rent. But at the same time a new stadium is probably not commercially viable without the arrival of a...
