    The value of “goodwill” or “opportunity cost” will hugely diminish from CH to L1. SISU don’t want to lose any more money either cash or intangible asset value. I don’t know why this needs stating.

    That’s true. They should have bridged the money pending the rearranged games. They didn’t. That was unforgivable. And short sighted. Never said they were good owners.

    I think I’ve clearly said that they’ve made mistakes and have incurred the costs: Missed out on arena years ago Wasted money in court Employed lunatics at CCFC board and even management level. Many have made mistakes. This is all irrelevant.

    Oh come on, They’ve gone on record a few months back saying that there’s an opportunity for someone to buy them and the ground. 15 years? No, they want out at the right money. I’ve said what I think it is.

    “They” Didn’t sign Walker, Hillsner, Waghorn (who I’m sure we agree are flops) on high wages, they left it to the recruiters. The recruiters who got some things right (Gyok, Hamer, O’Hare) also. What they did is say: here’s a budget, we’ve gone 4.6m over last year because COVID, we’ll absorb...

    They aren’t football people, never said they were. They aren’t even business people, they are hedge fund managers. With relegation comes lower income. Costs will fall but not at the same rate. Think how PL clubs need parachute payments to honour player contracts. We’d no doubt have similar...

    Yes, I agree. Sold a pup, Ranson, didn’t want to run a club. 100% right. As I’ve said, whatever they’ve put in (£20m, 30,40 whatever), because of the way they’ve funded / borrowed stands them at more, so it’ll be difficult to accept a low bid. That they want us relegated? No. A club with a...

    They kept the squad together. Maybe they had the attitude of “you’ve had £12k / week for Waghorn - what do you want now?” I agree we’d all love a huge spending spree, but at what cost?

    What ? 😂 So you’ve picked a period of time - that they invested either by transfer or academy before that doesn’t count? SISU have invested £100k Utterly clueless please don’t stop

    They’re not going to do a Derby but by the same token I’m sure that if we are within touching distance they’ll throw in some incentives and support. Throw money around like drunken sailors? They did that. Didn’t work. They can’t and probably won’t do so again

    Why get angry? I’m sure we all know that SISU want to get promoted on minimal budget. We saw in Champ return Season 1 that by Xmas whilst we were struggling SISU allowed the getting in of players like Matty James (not cheap) to steady the ship. I’ve not and likely never will say that SISU are...

    Of course: Name one club owner that wouldn’t? It’s like saying who wouldn’t want a brand new car for a tenner? The point?

    Clueless, They’ve underwritten losses. It’s like saying that using your credit card isn’t spending money. We’d all like them to have spent more, but they haven’t. Clueless.

    I’ve no reason to believe he didn’t say that in the context of the L1 model not working in the Champ. I think he’s a bit lacking in communication skills but I’m sure that he doesn’t crave relegation as suggested.

    The league is irrelevant? They want PL money - anyone that thinks they don’t has no grasp of reality. L1 is further away from the PL I’ll say it again: Clueless

    So the context was that the model in place at that time wouldn’t work in the Champ; which is a far cry from suggesting that we shouldn’t be there and wants relegation. There must be a link, I thought all fans forums were recorded by someone.

    Link? What was the context? That the model needed change or, as implied, that we should seek to be relegated like Ol’ Clueless suggests.
