    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...

    Bury gone

    But look back to pre-season - we signed 9 players very early but then hadn't made a signing for two weeks and it was "why haven't we signed anyone" "we need a RB, a CF, RW, LW and a CM even though we've got 7 or 8 on the books". But at the same time saying "we can't sell Bayliss, we have to keep...

    Transfer Rumour What is it with shooting?

    There does seem at times to be a reluctance to shoot, possibly because MR does favour the possession play. But he also has to remember we don't have strikers of the quality Man City and Liverpool do and we can't expect them to be as clinical and maybe need to take a punt every now and again and...

    Bury gone

    But if that's the case why don't all industries (or at least other sports) do it with governing bodies? Make it a closed system so you have to agree to their governing body 's rules, one of which is pay industry creditors first, to trade? Loads of professions need to have accreditation? Who's...

    Not a surprise we've got beaten - we've made a lot of changes and they've played a strong team. 3-0 not that embarrassing considering. Baka has shown he's not a decent replacement for Godden. Would have taken him off instead of Kastaneer and moving Baka. Hope McCallum's is precautionary. Let's...
