There till the end, although if we went much lower than the Conference I'd probably have second thoughts. Reckon the conference, playing at the Butts, is where we'd find our level in terms of sustainability with a chance of having a decent season. Only other things would be if something really...

What the hell were Mowbray and Venus doing in the summer? To end up scrambling around in the last few days when Slade has been able to come in and get people in straight away smacks of incompetence.

We can just get someone in on trial to play that game.

That's unlikely to happen in reality. Lets say Harries for example turns down a move to Liverpool. Why would Slade then refuse to play him and how would that be of benefit? If he continued to play and got a season or two of appearances under his belt if he's as good as some people think his...

All transfers or just academy graduates?

The academy costs the club £600K a year. To work out if that is value you'd have to look at the average per year that comes in from academy graduate player sales and also put a value on the academy graduates in the first team - are they cheaper in terms of wages / fees than picking up a similar...

But it won't be £2m up front. That's the problem.

How do they help develop or prolong careers? If they want to see Harries play come and watch him play for us. If they want him to play for them put a bid in. Where do you draw the line. Are you OK with us missing young players from first team games because they've gone to another club for a trial?

But it would indicate that some through should go in to the form the protest takes. Seems to confirm that things like NOPM or anything that could incur a fine will harm the club but have no impact on SISU.

Where is this extra few million coming from? How much do you think the players who could be sold are worth in up front fees?

If they've sold Ryton and the up and coming players who is then going to give them a few million for the club? If there was a potential owner waiting in the wings wouldn't they be saying to SISU keep Ryton and the players and we'll buy the lot? Ryton is valued at £2m if the local plan gets...

Any debts owed by CCFC can be paid out at any point, assuming we have the money to pay them. However the accounts don't show this happening and something would have to be billed to the club. I'm not sure the auditors would give a pass to a huge bill for legal fees incurred by a third party...

Does this work the other way round. Can we get Messi in on trial to pick us up a few points?

You've given a figure of £10m. Ryton is worth around £2 if the Rugby local plan, which is still in consultation, allows the land to be used for housing. That's months if not years away. So which players are we selling for £8m in up front fees?

Is this the new, if we go into admin SISU will leave. How are they going to pocket the money from transfer fees when they are paid in instalments?

So you're saying that players who are under contract are being forced to sign for other clubs against their will?

"Really delighted to commit my long term future to the club" - Cian Harries 9 weeks ago.

Derby owe us someone decent for pinching Keogh off us :)

Isn't there a club, Chelsea spring to mind but might be, where the trust were given ownership of the pitch but the club, or whatever prop co they have, own the rest of the ground?

But that's the problem. SISU use those tactics and people go mad branding them a disgrace. Wasps do the same and its hailed as good business.
