Over a million a year was mentioned as one point but isn't it adding to the debt and not actually being paid at the moment. Not sure how that relates to the rent though, if they took out £5m in management fees does it follow that the rent should be put up to £5m? You're trying to create a link...

I don't think it was NOPM or any intervention from the FL as either of those would have led to a move back during the close season. We certainly wouldn't have been paying for a new pitch at Sixfields if there was any thought of coming back. The timing seems to indicate it is connected to the...

Exactly, if we'd seen out the full term of the lease we'd have paid £60m and yet had no access to no revenues, ACL on the other hand would have paid £21m and received access to all revenues. The council put in, from memory, £10m and Higgs paid £6.5m (although that was not all new money coming...

Did indeed exist, of course it would have needed financing so maybe instead of taking on the Ricoh project the council could have given the club a low interest loan to buy back HR. I'm betting they never made an offer to do anything like that.

Neutral Fan, what's your post count on the MK Dons, AFC Wimbledon and Wasps forums?

Where did I say they should have done that? Pretty much any other solution anyone can think of would have been better for CCFC. CCC could have lent the club the few million they actually put in themselves so we would have retained full ownership. They could have given us a rent to buy deal. All...

Of course if the caring council and Higgs didn't charge us £1.2m a year in rent we might never had needed to be 'rescued' by SISU.

Missed it but will catch it later on iplayer, anyone like to summarise or was it just the same old thing.

2-1 to us, this will be the year we don't go downhill after Xmas. At least we'd better not or we'll be in L2.

If they can achieve break even they can stick around for years just in the hope that something miraculous happens and they get their money back somehow.

The sensible option if they want a fee and we don't want to pay it. Guess it's wait and see now and hope nobody will make a better offer.

The idea that CCFC start putting on their own events is pretty bonkers. Event management is it's own industry, we'd need to recruit staff with expertise and, as with starting any new venture, risk losing money. Plus we would be competing with several local companies who own their own event space...

with the short deals there's also the problem that if they come in and do well they will often get a better offer elsewhere. of course the flip side is ending up stuck with players for years who aren't up to the job but maybe if the recruitment was better the % of signings that applied to would...

Would self sufficiency work even if we achieved it? It sounds great and we certainly should be able to get out of L1 and into the Championship but where from there. You're allowed to lose millions in that division, not to mention teams with parachute payments, how would we be competitive with...

Isn't advertising done by the game or season? Would expect so in which case the lack of advertising isn't down to people thinking we're moving, more to do with a general distrust of SISU, it not being cost effective or not wanting to be associated with the CCFC 'brand'.

It's all great in theory but as I've said every time they post one of these missives actions speak louder than words. Give us some detail on how they will achieve their objectives and show that they are making progress towards them and then maybe they'll start to get some fans on board. Of...

Important question, does Juggy have big ears? If not why's he called Juggy, can't be his real name!

It's odd that none of the stolen stock seems to have turned up anywhere. It's not like it's Man Utd stuff they can offload anywhere.

What are the odds they've been told to pay for everything up front? Maybe the SBT could approach the club for a statement on why there is so little in the club stock and if they blame it on Puma the trust can contact them and see if they say the same.

I order a lot of merchandise for tours, including football and hockey shirts. If the club are being quoted those sort of lead times they need to change suppliers. I've never been quoted more than 8 weeks and that's for customs designs from scratch. These are standard Puma designs with our badge...
