Think we all have to wait and see what the outcome instead of the constant barrage of abuse towards SISU I'm crossing my fingers a deal can be done that will result in my football club continuing and maybe, just maybe have a part of the Ricoh to build upon going forwards. It could be that these...

I've said it enough times. I see this as an opportunity to put the club on the right footing and start enjoying some relative success perhaps. That will serve us well like it has so many other clubs recently, including Man City not so far back.

So to a man everyone takes the negative view. You guys amaze me. What are you going to say if he signs it and he is here past January? I said before most of our squad are not the sort that will get lots of chasing clubs after them, as they were relegated and finance at most clubs is so tight...

Every one likes to make speculation. I still think there will be a budget, though when that is slated for is a little difficult to say until ongoing talks and a deal is reached. 60 days is just a maybe. Mean time I would imagine a partial budget is forth coming if and when it becomes a...

The statement by the OP is nothing new to me and a few others on here who have managed to understand what is likely going on barring knowledge of the finer details. We should all sit this out and wait and see what comes of it. There is nothing we can do to influence what is happening. The...

Have I missed something? has there been an announcement that there is no budget?

DiMateo set out the perfect game plan in the semi final against Barca and again against Munich. He utilised what he had to brilliant effect and when subs were needed he made them count. Absolute brilliant management/coaching. What a calm character he is too. We have found a brilliant manager...

it gets sillier by the hour ;)

Is the lease ACL hold (ACL formed by the council remember to operate the lease) subject to the normal landlord and tenant act? Is it a saleable lease? Who precisely owns the shares of ACL? Who is ACL's debt owed to?

.....lets hope he is not referring to new investors who have no interest in the football club and new owners who would want the stadium but also have no interest in the football club? Wow that would make any future opportunity for CCFC to get a slice of the Ricoh near impossible for decades...

Given that message above then I think the Council are thinking deeply along safe lines here and perhaps alluding to ways of skinning that cat differently so to be able to help the club and move forward to a brighter future. Well done Andy.

dongonzalos: Yes thank you, now that stance makes better sense! As I said it's not about giving SISU any right of 'ownership' to the stadium. That is the distinguishing factor here. ;)

This is the point. I'm not being patronising at all. I have never said we should give SISU the Ricoh!? There are more ways than one way to skin a cat I said. Some on here refuse to hear and want to simply maintain a negative stance. That would not get anyone anywhere in negotiations would...

Very interesting OSB. Boy you must have a lot of spare time? Those facts clear up a lot of unknown information for me and the more you dig the more there is to find. negotiations currently are complex to say the least if a fair and proper balance is going to be reached with SISU. I hope the...

The only problem is when I look for a product whatever it throws up I can find cheaper elsewhere? Example : Contact lens all in one solution £4.99 superdrug. I bought one the other day in Tesco for £2.59 So is it reliable?

Hmmm....the sentiment is correct but guys the business world turns in mysterious ways and there are more than one way to skin a cat. Whoever owns the stadium (and I've posted it elsewhere) the deal should ensure it will be a benefit of CCFc and not SISU per-say. That's the complicated issue...

...It's all kinda alluding to what i said before. SISU are attempting (as OSB says) to make various 'offers' on the table look reasonable to the council and the long term future of stadium and football club. Nothing wrong in that. The caveat of course is how that can be structured. Mutton may...

"glitzy promises"? what does this mean OSB?

Overall we can't all agree but Downing? Hmm. I would have taken Crouch....he has a superb record for England and scored a wonder goal a few weeks back. My biggest worry is the lack of midfield 'ball players' like a Glen Hoddle or Paul Gascoigne - someone who has a vision for a pass and can...

..just a thought here. Does anyone know the structure of the agreement that's on the 40 year lease? Does it have term dates and balloon notes at the end or other structures we can't possibly know? Not all leases are negotiated the same. I've owned several in my business life and each one...
