    Are SISU bad owners?

    I know I saw at some stage a note to the accounts stating management fees were being paid to SISU. Probably weren't the most recent but I'm absolutely certain I saw it because it took me by surprise.

    Are SISU bad owners?

    But is sitting there accruing compound interest instead. They are payable and could be called in at any time the owners choose - we're relying on them not doing so. It's like having a bomb in the corner and saying "it's fine, it's not going to go off". And then putting a hand grenade next to it...

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    Would be a nice roundness to it. Charles I - end of monarchy Charles II - reformation of monarchy Charles III - end of monarchy. So until Charles IV turns up we'd be a republic. To be honest, I think Charles is likely to get the question asked - he likes having his opinion on stuff, esp...

    Are SISU bad owners?

    Well it's a bit of both really. They're using the transfer fees but there is also an annual loss that needs to be covered by SISU (which they do stand to gain from long term)

    But he could sell the club for its worth AND also the debt he's owed

    Are SISU bad owners?

    It's not artifical though - we may not be PAYING them right now but they are still PAYABLE (and the longer we don't pay them the more interest accrues owed by the club to SISU).

    Are SISU bad owners?

    Because one of their other companies is loaning the club money with a decent interest rate on?

    Are SISU bad owners?

    Pay a reduced rent that the club felt was affordable and fair rather than total rent strike. Shows you're not trying to financial distress the organisation and creating 'bad blood' plus very much leaves it in the council/ACL's ballpark - do they then negotiate or take legal action to obtain the...

    Are SISU bad owners?

    I agree about the sale but the club is not operating within it's means - there is still a loss annually being covered by the master fund (with interest attached)

    The EU: In, out, shake it all about....

    But what he wrote is completely true. Constitutionally the queen has final say and veto - it's just she would never use it because it would be the end of the monarchy when civil war started. The HoL can strike down anything the HoC does, but again it rarely does so because it brings into focus...

    Picking the Carcass of Bury

    It does feel a bit like that. It'd got to a stage they couldn't let both carry on extending so I think they had to choose one as a 'warning shot across the bows of the other'. Bolton would've caused bigger waves, which long term might have been better but would've put them more in the firing...

    Transfer Rumour What is it with shooting?

    I agree to some extent, but there's a difference between a genuine shooting chance and shooting speculatively. I agree with the first, disagree with the second. You can say each shot is a chance to score, but if it's very unlikely to go in it's also giving the ball away to the opposition which...

    Are SISU bad owners?

    I agree - when they turned up it was with their usual MO of quick turnaround for a profit. They came in, bought a few players that they expected would get us promoted and they could sell high with the PL status we'd achieved (possibly using some to buy the stadium via the agreement which they...

    Player Ratings ?

    If Max doesn't come into the squad for Baka there must be more too it. I think it's something MR has taken from Fergie - if anyone questions your authority get them out. Maybe Max had the audacity to question his tactics of bringing him on to play as left inside forward.

    Bury gone

    As long as they got their asking price they probably wouldn't care who owned it. As it'd only come into effect once they sold the club it wouldn't affect their control of it.

    Bury gone

    We're definitely being run better than we were when SISU first took over, when they bought some decent players, they failed to get promoted so they sold them immediately for a quick profit and we went pretty much into freefall. But we're still very reliant on the master fund plugging the hole...
