I may well be stupid, but not because I say we need 6-7 wins on the trot to catch up. Say we win the next 6 matches that will give us 18 points to add to our 29 = 47 pts. Bradford and Sheff U continue taking an average of 1.5pts/game giving them 9pts to add to their 36 pts = 45pts. So 6 wins on...

We will take this 2-1 :)

TBF he isn't lying - just expressing his opinion. Which I share btw. Look at it in another way, we are 7 points behind and to close that gap will require we do 6-7 wins on the trot. It's not impossible - in theory. We have had a pretty good run lately, but we are no closer to the play offs than...

Once is surely enough!

Management fee's is cost distribution. It's from when the club had one bank account and three companies (SBS&L, ccfc h, CCfc l). All bills were paid from the on account and every year when the books were closed (some would say cooked) the cost was distributed to where it belonged. Rent was such...

You suggest a potential owner believing in integrity, honesty and ethics. If such a guy having the required money and interest in CCFC even exist then he would not go public. He would approach the club owners quietly. If he failed to agree a deal he would leave just as quietly. We wouldn't...

Management fee's again. This is the myth that will never ever die no matter how many times it's explained. Ah never mind. But - you do know that the rent was included in the management fee's?

The quote is fine, and as I said they did lose like £20m in the early years under Ranson/Hoffman/Elliott. Now you say I suffer from selective blindness. Let's see about that. First, you said: So you used Keane as an example on how previous owners prioritized talent over money. Then I...

Can you link us to the quote - I think it's a bit inaccurate. Not the part 'we are debt free' - he did say that, but the £20m part. Anyway, the club did spend money in that region the first three years (so your quote may be correct) - and got us right back in the financial mess in the process...

Robbie Keane, what an excellent example you give us. He was bought for £5m and sold after just one season for £13m. So even past owners were forced to put money over talent.

He had about 15% maybe 17% (I don't remember the exact percentage but can look it up if important). So he was a shareholder, chairman of the board and CEO. Too many positions - especially CEO and chairman is a poor mix as the chairman usually hires and fires the CEO. BTW - if Hoffman and...

No, he 'resigned' because he didn't have other options. Sisu had lost confidence in him and were not going to inject another penny. He could stay and see the club go into administration (losing all value of his shares) or he could resign and recover a settlement for his shares.

SBK claimed that attendances dropped because Dann and Fox were sold. I looked up the numbers and found no evidence to support his claim. My own opinion is that crow numbers were coming down to the HR numbers when the novelty of the Ricoh started to wear off AND when the financial crisis started...

Dann and Fox played here in the seasons 2007/08 and 2008/09. Average Attendances: 2006/07: 20.342 2007/08: 19.123 2008/09: 17.407 2009/10: 17.305 So attendances dropped while they were here and the season after they left the crowd was unchanged. There is absolutely no evidence to support...

I would say a right to veto is a condition.

We had him on loan from Swansea, but the player somehow learned that their manager at the time (Michael Laudrup) was to be sacked. So he decided to go back to try his luck with the new manager. Actually I fully understand him - it was just a case of poor timing.

We can only field 5 loans - a few times already we have hit the ceiling and left one or two out. Nouble on a short contract is different from Nouble on loan. Oh, and he can't be recalled.

You're not far from Ransons priority when he came in with sisu: 1. Get cost under control 2. Get promoted 3. Buy Higgs shares in ACL He failed.

Or they can buy their own debt back as we saw when Otium took over. The wall of debt is to make sure nobody but sisu dictates if they leave or if they stay.

That too. A good journalist would ask all parties.
