The price may not be unfair, but it may be OTT market-wise. If our 'competitors' are paying less, it positions the club with less competitive power. That cannot be in the best interest of the stadium owners. I think (like everybody else) that the club and the stadium should have the same owner -...

I still think we have a chance to stay up, yes. When we discussed the possibility ... was it sometime before christmas? ... it looked almost impossible. Two weeks ago it seemed very likely. Things changes fast - so keep believing!

Depends if they want to make a statement.

Who says they 'can't'? Could it be that they 'won't'?

OSB, Perhaps you're putting 2 and 2 together and gets 17 :D Let's say you're calculations are roughly correct, which they usually are. Then the explanation to why the club defaults on paying the rent could be just what they tell us - that the club want to renegotiate the rent and have tried...

I remember stories about the danish national team who back in 1992 gained access to the european championship when (the then) Jugoslavia was banned. The players had to be recalled from their hollidays and turned up completely unfit less than two weeks before the first match. Yet, miracles...

Of course we can - they are ahedge fund and we all know how hedge funds and other dodgy investors created the financial crisis that led to many fans losing a part of the family's income so they have to cut down costs which meant fewer fans through the gates at the Ricoh and less income than...

If they are investors, they don't care what division we're in ... they will only care about the potential return on their investment. So it can't really just be about the club, it must involve all the businesses around stadium.

Yes, it's a coincidence that our good form has improved since it went quiet on the takeover front. But it's no coincidence that our form has improved since the sisu-out-campaign went quiet.

... and Leicester fans will be miserable as usual all summer.

I don't think anyone or anything forced sisu into giving AT any more support than the financial situation allowed for. It is much more likely that if the soc campaign drove fans away from home matches, then sisu were forced to give less support than planned.

Well, how convenient you can pick out one game. But in fact the sisu-out movement started to gain momentum in the summer even before the season started. And looking at the period from season start till christmas when the soc started to crumble, we won two - 2! - games in 21.

Well, let me throw some gasolin in the fire. What would our league position be now, if the sisu-out-campaign never emerged? The poor results started as the campaign accelerated and then improved as the campaign crumbled. To those who slated me last autum when I said the unrest had a direct...

The loans have to be repaid or serviced because they are just that ... loans. Oh, and it isn't sisu's money - the money comes from various sources, probably even your own pension fund. The beauty of injecting 'investments' in form of loans as opposed to equity is that as long as the loans are...

What's the alternative? More loans? We're very fortunate that the loans we have atm are interest free (although that is also a stumbling block for any take-over attempt, as the loans would have to be repaid or stay in the books and start charging interests). When is enough really enough?

Their initial investment plan failed and subsequently money pool has dryed out. As you mention in your post, the world didn't stop and the financial crisis have removed most money available for investments in the western world. The little money that is available is not spend on high risk...

Sisu didn't sack Dowie ... Ranson did. Later sisu sacked Ranson. Put the blame where it belongs - otherwise you are building your resentment on false premisses.

Well OSB, the problem with who should communicate ... the board or sisu ... could be solved in a second if Igwewhatshisname was appointed chairman. But thats not the way they work. Personally, I do not need sisu to say anything, but I would like the chaiman to be more visible and more vocal...

OSB, I agree we could use a bit more information from the board. Much as we have guessed (pieced together) their strategy ... and largely proven correct ... it would be nice if they produced a formal mission statement. I do however disagree when you include sisu in a request for a charm...

I think old Sigmund said 'cigar', but who cares :D
