the fact that they don't want to use their own money (or rather that of their various funds) would surely set off alarm bells to anyone considering putting money in. I would love to see how they pitch investing in CCFC. "we're losing £6m a year, have no assets and don't want to put any of our...

This is what's always concerned me, owning the stadium seems to be seen as a magic bullet to fix all our problems but as far as I can see there's a good chance we'd be worse off. Let's say we owned it 100% leasehold and freehold. There would be £1m less a year being paid out by CCFC but also £1m...

I'm not particularly SISU out so not really who you're aiming at but with or without investement I'd like clarity on what they would use the money for and the long term plan. To be honest if SISU has said at the end of last season that we wouldn't be signing anyone as we've got no money and need...

seems to remember it was 30 something in the away end when I went last.

our range of ticket prices seem very small comapred to a lot of other clubs. guess that's down to having a stadium where there's no rubbish seats noone wants.

you can get an audio stream (if it works) through ccfc.co.uk, have to pay for it tho. I've got a horrible feeling they're switching from CWR to Mercia this year. They had the Norwich match on which was a feed from Mercia and it wasn't good!

for any particular reason? I've heard rumblings, not from anywhere I'd particularly pay attention to, that the coucil aren't intrested in selling to anyone as they're making money out of it. Could be a stumbling block for any potential takeover that has 100% ownership in the business plan.

at the moment it is. the first choice XI could probably get us around mid table but once we start hitting injuries and suspensions we could have big problems and despite what anyone says there's no way things going on in the boardroom don't have an impact on players. I'm not going to get...

I'm an eternal optimist when it comes to the city and normally this time of year will be telling everyone one how this is our year and promotions on the cards. Nothing like that this year. To be honest if we have still got a club at the end of the season and haven't gone down it will be a job...

I think they've just picked up on the squad strength and assume we will struggle which we most likely will. The difference this year could be that the fans won't turn on Thorn the way they have on past managers as they know he has no money to spend and is stuck with what he's got. The board...

i think you can change teams when you're a kid. My Dad stopped going to the City long before I was born so I wasn't raised sky blue and supported Everton early on as they were winning everything and on TV the most. That changed when I went to my first City game, Arsenal at home in 86, I was 12...

to be effective the best thing to do would be to have a demo outside the ground and then not go in to the game. the slide in attendances last season seemed to add about £2m a year to the losses, a few games with very low attendance should get the message across.

isn't the £10m just for 50% of ACL, in effect 50% of the lease. The council will still own the freehold and 50% of the lease. don't think what it cost is relevant really, what would it's market value be? would also be intresting to know how the market value would be hit if the club ceased to...

is this not the same situation we were in when SISU took over with the club having loans from GR and possibly others? You clearly know more about the finances than I do but to me it looks like GH is trying to do the same thing that SISU did and take on the debt with conditions (ie: only...

they had someone from the Higgs Trust on who confirmed there was an option in place and noone had tried to exercise it. Can only be sold to the club, said something about someone could buy the Higgs half but the option would still be in place so the club would still have the right to exercise...

which is exactly the type of investor Brody said they were looking for on CWR a while back. I would guess they would be investors to partner with SISU rather than a potential takeover.

think a lot of it is people guessing! quick question, if all the debts supposed to be with SISU what are the £13m of liabilities on top of what we owe them?

being confident we'll make it through to the end of the season without going bust would be a good start for me!

have to say if it's a case of having to belive Joe or SISU I know which side of that I would be on!

Very useful post. If you're SISU at what point, from a business / investment point of view, do you just cut your losses and walk away? If noone is prepared to invest in them and no buyer will take on the level of debt outlined what are there options? Would I be correct in thinking that they...
