    Bollocks. If it is a fact, spell out the rationale for those of us less insightful than you.

    I hope so. Really I do. Stay strong ACL and CCC.

    Accountants would not have a clue about Monte Carlo either. And neither would most fund managers. Monte Carlo is used to model scenarios, typically to price very exotic derivatives or to calculate the Value at Risk (VaR). It is the domain of the quants (Phd Maths guys who build the valuation...

    Now we're getting somewhere...

    Tosh tosh tosh tosh tosh. You have no idea. SISU will not give a shit what the BBC writes. Look - believe me, I have 30 years of experience in this industry. ALL THEY CARE ABOUT IS MAKING A PROFIT. And they have decided that this will be achieved by picking up the Ricoh for a few bob. It's...

    Question for All

    What do you base your opinion on? The crowds for home games have not been increasing.

    right then

    I disagree. The Football League can only act within its remit. It has spurned that chance already. And it's not binary either - the few that are going aren't making any difference to the strike - let them go, SISU ain't gunna get fat on 2k crowds. But let's ensure we keep it that low. No to...

    right then

    Mr. Pipes, Unions formed because a large number of people with no power wanted to wrest some sort of control from a very powerful person who was treating them all badly. Whilst they worked together by striking, they were able to hurt the factory owners and negotiate better pay, holidays etc...

    Question for All

    Will not go. Long term benefit of the club at risk here. SISU has crossed the line and I will not give them a penny.

    Promotion

    Pressley may be saying it, but if he is, he is wrong. We are at Sixfields so that SISU can blackmail the city into selling the Ricoh and land for cheap. SISU don't care a jot for whether we are promoted or not - all they want is a profit, and getting the Ricoh for cheap will do nicely.

    In praise of Waggot and Pressley

    No there isn't. A hedge fund manages funds for investors. Imagine the investor is you. You invested £1mm with SISU to make money and they lose it all. Are you happy? Imagine that you invested £1mm in Royal Mail shares also this year - and doubled your money. So your net gain is zero. So...

    FA Cup 1st round

    Others have already said this, but I think that it has been missed by some: NOPM should boycott all FA cup games, home or away, because the gate money is shared. According to FA rules: Net gate receipts shall be divided as follows: (i) In matches prior to the Third Round of the Competition...

    Unsung Hero so far this season

    He is certainly unsung. And long may it continue.

    Hype for tomorrow

    Crikey! Really? We will rip the ass end out of them? Right out you say? No ass end left, just the entrails? Honestly, I'm not sure I approve of that.

    Sky Blue Play Off Finals ?

    We are one quarter of the way through the season, and we have caught up only 2 points on the side that is bottom of the play-off zone (there was a 10 point gap at the start of the season, and now there is an 8 point gap). We have to improve our results if we are to make up the remaining 8...

    Homegrown players

    When you invest in youth, you need to wait at least five years before it pays off. We have Ranson to thank for this golden generation. Was it last year that we downgraded the academy and started fucking around paying the rent?

    Who Votes Sell the stadium to SISU

    Why? The club can increase its income without ownership. Indeed I think there is a good argument for saying that the club should focus on its core competency - entertainment - and not property management. It is common practise for even very large companies to rent their office space.

    Disgraceful if true.
