One by one they will be taken by predators until we're left with the ugly duckling no-one else wants !!

Fisher has clearly stated that until a deal is done on the stadium then the club isn't a viable proposition and the embargo won't be lifted. This will drag on until close to the end of the transfer window, at which point we will be fielding the youth team and conveniently won't have time left...

I went to every round (was 17 at the time) and can recall getting preferential access to semi and final tickets by having stubs from previous rounds. Despite that I queued for over six hours to get the Final tickets. I remember watching the New Year's day game v Spurs, when big Cyrille...

If that's the case why is it a 1 year rolling contract and not 1 week. The way you've described it, what would be the difference between them if no compensation is payable ?

A rolling contract means that there is always the specified duration of the contract left to go, in this case 1 year, so the original point remains valid i.e. it will cost SISU to get rid of Thorn.

Agree, it suits them down to the ground. We keep hearing that the finance department are working hard to get the accounts submitted, why ? What can they possibly need to work hard on other than concealment and creative accounting, so that when they are released they are so complex, that even...

That was my point really. There are many views on what constitutes 'competitive' and how do you a. Define it b. Put it into a contract and c. Police/enforce it. As much as it is an admirable thing to aim for I don't think it will be enforceable.

I'm guessing that player sales can be included in the turnover for FFP purposes, so it could be that, pending a stadium deal the quickest way to exit the embargo is to bring in fees at the start of the window, thereby making the club viable for the next 12 months and allowing for the accounts to...

I can see from the numerous postings you have made and responded to, that this issue is very close to your heart, however I'm not sure how you are ever going to be in a position to define what competitive means in this context i.e. legally enforceable. In fact it could end up being deemed an...

I agree. This is not the only time in our history when practically a whole squad of players has left the club to be replaced by journeymen from the lower leagues (only we're in the lower league now). If anyone recalls the early eighties, we had a very promising squad of young players such as...

Apologies for anyone who has just seen the same thread on GMK but ... Two points on this 1. This is under Scottish jurisdiction, so the English courts may apply a different ruling 2. The year long embargo wasn't specified in the SPL regulations as a possible sanction, whereas it is there in...

1st February 2013 !

The most telling line from the interview is "Until something is finalised, the club’s transfer embargo will not be lifted". I'm finding the lack of probing questions being asked by the Telegraph is the most frustrating part of this saga. Questions such as: What happens at next week's League...

I didn't get the impression that Hoffman was willing to take on SISU's liabilities as part of the deal, but I may be wrong in that.

If you live in a house with a mortgage, you would still want paying for it. It's still your asset and has value, regardless of whether a mortgage is held against it. If that's you genuine belief, then I'm coming round to your house to offer £1 for it !!

Or Acquire the Ricoh, divert the income to pay off investers and liquidate the club.

An entirely sensible way to run a club, not !! Also a false understanding of the rules, as the embargo is put in place as soon as the 65% is breached and/or transfers can be vetoed, therefore there is no choice but to bring the wage bill down.

We can't afford his wages. We can only spend 65% of turnover. When will this sink in !!!

But was is best for the club and what do fans want ? The club has now reached a position (regardless of who's to blame) that it can't spend more than 65% of it's income on player's salaries otherwise a transfer embargo ensues (ironic I know !). So what does everyone suggest should be done to...

Given that the club has limited income streams, which are about to reduce further, what does everyone suggest SISU should do other than the path they are following now ? Remember that a new owner would have to comply with the League 1 rules in exactly the same way, so can't just splash out cash...
