Which bit? Are you saying we are somehow exempt from FFP regulations (or whatever it is actually called in L1) and therefore massively decreased revenues won't have any impact?

I think that's part of the reason some people were so disappointed with the response from your fans when the move was proposed. We had seen supporters of other clubs come out very strongly against it and lobby their clubs against a groundshare. The general impression that came forward from...

That all depends on who they end up selecting. If they announce a team of 10 people who are seen to be in the 'pro-SISU' camp then it's only natural that people will be questioning how independent it is.

It also must have an impact on signing players. I know people will go wherever they are being paid but if you had an option of playing at an empty Sixfields or pretty much anywhere else you'd probably go elsewhere.

The flip side being with a small squad and a lot of games in a short space of time there will be little recovery time. Will mean there's a good chance we'll need to play players at less than 100% or bring in more kids. Can't see us getting through that many games so quickly without anyone...

Elvis and the players aren't going to come out and have a go at SISU and the whole situation but in my opinion they have made it very clear they don't agree with it and want to be at the Ricoh.

If I was nearer Cov I would but it's bad enough making a 6 hour round trip to see us play let alone a Phoenix team!

Will be interesting to see what reply you get to this, if any, and how truthful it appears to be. As much as I think the the committee is a waste of time and the new ground won't happen if the forum ends up being only those who are seen to be on the side of SISU it would be disappointing.

A point you often miss is that not everyone believes that SISU owning the stadium will in anyway assist the club. Those who side more with SISU regularly state that the £1.2m a year rent, not gaining match day revenues and the club not owning the ground was crippling the club. There is no...

Instead of house think more like a shop. Shop A has 15K customers a week spending £15 each and you have an offer to rent that for £150K a year. Shop B has 2K customers a week spending £10 each but they each buy a £3 pie that you get 50p profit from. Which shop would be better off with?

This has always struck me as odd. He was constantly on there and was touted by the club as a big name in the tech world yet since leaving here there's been no trace of him online!

Would probably need OSB to explain exactly what happened but I think the jist of it is that barring promotion to the Prem SISU didn't have to pay the debts prior to the takeover (so no money was technically owed) yet the debt stayed on the books. Of course the other question is why at last...

well if its Elvis that decided it's a good thing then we'll have to go with that but 8 games in 27 days seems a lot to me especially with our squad size. Players won't have much time to recover from little niggles. Would have made more sense to me to play it in Feb and either cancel or move...

But where do you draw the line? If we're not going to accept sentences given by court for illegal activity shouldn't we apply that to everything? My point is people are saying he deserves the ban as it's illegal. So if it's an illegal act leave it to the courts to decide the punishment.

If the argument is that he should be banned as its illegal doesn't it then follow that it should be left to the appropriate authorities, the courts, to deal with and decide on punishment? Where do you stop, it's illegal to smoke at most, if not all, grounds. Do with give everyone caught having a...

Not sure what you're getting at here? No matter what the FFP rules are they have still lost £14.7m in 2012-13 and £8.6m the season before haven't they? Would seem to indicate that owning and operating your own stadium and getting all the associated revnues doesn't resolve all the financial issues.

Based on this I assume it has already been through the courts and he has been found guilty and the club is only enforcing the punishment ordered by the court? Some strange comments on this thread, people going on about players being attacked and stabbed bears no relation to what happened...

Of course no fan demands that, and some may moan if it is done, but a responsible owner would do it. If we are to believe the losses SISU claim they have made then even if rent was free and match day costs were paid by ACL we still wouldn't have that £1.2m to spend on wages as we'd still be...

Well of course the club had 50% of the management company and 100% of matchday revenues and chose to sell it and never exercise the buy back clause. Why should the club now be handed a third back for free?

And our average that season was 21,301 so I don't think that small shortfall is the root of all our problems. Of course the break even amount depends on other expenditure and having a large squad of older players on relatively big wages was a huge contributing factor.
