I don't think that we can be defeatist. We know their track record (in no small part due to your efforts), but I think that our main hope is that football clubs "are different". Despite us now being a third division club, there is gradually a bit of media awareness starting to grow about our...

Lucky for her that she's found something she's good at. Unlucky for us that she's so bad at running businesses.

Ranson's famous "we are debt free" comments were silly at best. I was never sure of the point of them. Told as many porkies as Fisher - Not sure that many people in the world could claim that :) I agree that Ranson should have negotiated early on the rent, but can't agree that that somehow...

Try reading the post again Lord. I agreed that he had a major tole in getting SISU in. I'm afraid that in the real world that does not make him responsible for their every action forever. Was he involved in the disastrous attempt at negotiating with ACL, has he been fronting discussions...

Many people and factors are responsible for SISU being here, but I would agree that Ranson is one of the major ones. To then say that that makes him responsible for all of SISU's actions - years after he left - is frankly a bit silly. SISU are responsible for all of this.

SISU are responsible for all of this.

Couldn't agree more. I was in Vancouver a couple of weeks back and went to a Whitecaps game. I was genuinely shocked by how young the crowd were compared with what I've been used to watching our games - and that's before a self-imposed exile.

Well, there were two strategies that I had in mind, but they are linked. The first is that being enacted by our owners. If you believe them (and I guess that it's possible that there is still someone out there who does): they have no alternative but to leave the Ricoh, they have funding in...

Not sure why you would transfer the trade out of one limited company into another unless it was part of a plan.

Try reading one of the multiple threads that deal with it and see if you can figure it out.

You have to cast your mind back to what was on offer. A "non-trading subsidiary with only property assets" - the property asset being the lease that SISU were trying to extract themselves from. The only other potential asset was the GS which CCFC Holdings were claiming beneficial ownership...

Something tells me they don't teach strategy at school.

Always assuming there really is a plan to build a stadium, rather than just a PR campaign to put pressure on ACL!

Sorry, you've lost me. There is a contract in place. It can be varied by agreement between the parties. Offers have been made by one side or the other - none of these have been accepted by the other party. Therefore the original contract remains in place and all offers/final offers etc...

The deal that they rejected?

As I said, that's where we differ. NOPM :p

Then I guess that's where we differ. I can't see any decent future for the club with SISU in charge - and if you re-read your last few entries, I'm not sure that you could either. So in my view they need to go. What we have to do is make the "pain" of pursuing their current strategy too...

I don't suppose too many people will fall over with shock......:p

I agree with the above, but my hope is that the underestimation may be on SISU's side. Close down/liquidate the average company and you'll get some grief from the employees, perhaps a union if one exists, maybe a few suppliers - however a football club isn't the average company (in so many...

Reasoning? Are you suggesting that SISU would prefer to liquidate rather than agree another bid that might give them "a couple of million"?
