    Lose the Gut Thread (Following on from New Year's Resolution)

    Great effort. What did you start off doing. I seem to always make the same mistake, don't make my plans realistic. Start off well for a few weeks and then it all falls apart.

    Fisher Yesterday

    I don't know why people find this concept so hard to understand. Think of it in terms of selling your house. You might not have your house on the market, therefore it is 'not for sale' but if someone knocked on the door and made you an offer you'd consider it and if their offer was acceptable to...

    "Big" Signing Rumour

    I love how the CT blatantly click bait and then get all sulky if anyone calls them out on it.

    What were we losing ££££ wise every season when SISU arrived

    In a word no. Its something I've mentioned many times, its all well and good saying SISU should walk on the assumption someone else will come in but other than a rehash of SISU's original plan (pump some money in and hope for promotion) what else could a new owner do? I can't see how we can...

    What were we losing ££££ wise every season when SISU arrived

    In terms of where it was paid from some of it never really existed in a sense. There was debt from pre-SISU years that stayed on the books but SISU didn't pay out on it (if that makes sense). From what OSB has said the original investments from the SISU funds is likely to have been written down...

    What were we losing ££££ wise every season when SISU arrived

    IMO £15m they'd rip your hand off, £10m would be given serious consideration.

    "Big" Signing Rumour

    They've probably made it up so they can complain later on that it hasn't happened rather than be happy that we've already signed 3 players.

    What were we losing ££££ wise every season when SISU arrived

    Depends if you're looking at it from a business perspective or a fan perspective. If SISU want us to break even they won't care if we have to sell someone just that the numbers add up at the end of the year. From our point of view we would want to be breaking even without the need to sell...

    What were we losing ££££ wise every season when SISU arrived

    £6m a year I think when they arrived. Now allegedly close to break even but that seems to involve selling a player every year.

    The pies and pasty issue - the plot thickens

    If that's the case then it has to be ACL no longer giving us the service. There's no other reason it would be stopped.

    The pies and pasty issue - the plot thickens

    The things that relate to F&B are: Vice presidents / Premium / Legends: Access to lounge with cash bar facility. Complimentary half-time tea and coffee. Boxes: Bar service / Upgrade to dining options available

    Bang, Bang, Bang

    This is much more like it. Realistic targets and get them lined up for when the window opens. Not scrapping around in the last few days. Lets just hope the rug doesn't get pulled from under him by selling someone at the last minute.

    The pies and pasty issue - the plot thickens

    What have they pre-paid for? The hot food not being served according to what the club have sent out is pies etc that are purchased on the day. The dining option for the boxes (which is an extra not included) is restaurant dining, has that been stopped as well?

    Sordell - How Many Goals ?

    Like how they refer to him as our top scorer but never say how few goals that is.

    Russell Slade - target list started

    Certainly more optimistic after todays performance. At the very least they all seemed to put a shift in. The transfer window will be vital. Couple of decent signings and things could turn around. I'd be ecstatic with mid-table and not a nail biting finish at this point.

    I'd take that from where we are now.

    Transfer Window Predictions

    Would be a good signing. Think he would command a fee though. 33 goals in 69 starts and 18 sub appearances.

    Was just going to post that. Breaking news in the CT hours after the rest of the world knew about it!

    Match Thread Peterboro. v Coventry Match Thread - Saturday 31st Dec

    After this result and if he brings in two or three new faces for Monday as is being suggested it would be nice to see a decent size crowd in there getting right behind them.
