    They really will try anything

    Why do you think the money goes to the owners and not the club? Have you any evidence to support it? In fact - have you any evidence that sisu have taken ANY money out in the four years they have been here? The new scheme goes a little way to strengthen the clubs business case. We have for...

    Goal Mistakes

    Can Hoffman play left back? Even with new owners I doubt the manager would get enough money or be allowed to spend wages above the FFP regulation just to ensure the team doesn't lose quality when first and second choice in any position are both out injured.

    ADMIN NIGHTMARE GATHERING PACE - who's next ???

    In my mind their biggest mistake was to have Ranson running the show and holding a substantial amount of shares at the same time. It's the way investors normally operate, I know, but when Ranson failed to stay within budgets he was very difficult to get rid of as sisu did not hold a special...

    Keys - this takeover will take a while

    I think most now realize that the deal is not simply about buying the club. No investors in their right mind would even consider entering into that kind of adventure. GH's investors does not seem to be doing this out of blind love to the club - if they are interested that is because they smell...

    Keys - this takeover will take a while

    They released enough statements last summer ... and that didn't help anybody.

    Keys - this takeover will take a while

    It simply followed Parkinson's law: Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion. Or in other words: Things takes the amount of time available.

    sisu

    I think a yellow kit will suit our discounted team.

    a rumour from a "source"

    Or maybe ... just maybe ... all these rumors are planted to upset the fan base to revolt against the owners. In that case, they are working just fine.

    Uncovered Something on SISU...

    It looks like sisu were involved in a company that went into liquidation - they have most likely setup the same financing model as used for the loans to the club. Anyway - the dispute is about how KPMG (administrator) have bill'ed their cost and how it effect how much sisu regained as creditor...

    a rumour from a "source"

    She's a girl ... she wouldn't understand (or respect) a rational explanation. Tell her you get exactly the same kick out of going with mates to cov matches as she does going shopping with friends. Sometimes she buys stuff and are excited, sometimes she just browse and she comes home not too...

    a rumour from a "source"

    Why would Thorn be angry? Angry because he was not sacked or angry because he was told he could keep the players he want? Oh ... btw, where is Clingan and Cranie in this? They were not sold (to my surprise) this window and can leave for free in the Summer. That would indicate new contracts on...

    Save Our City Changes

    I am sad to see Jan leave the committee, he at least tried to establish a communication platform to the current owners. A platform we are badly missing. If it's true that Hoffman refuses to have anything to do with fans who try to deal with sisu in civilized terms it shows Hoffman to be...

    Who owns CCFC? In Telegraph today.

    I know I'm thick and a slow learner, but where do I get it wrong? Sisu/Ranson bring money and Prozone to the club. They use the money, then sell Prozone and use that money too. Isn't it fair to include Prozone as part of their investment?

    Who owns CCFC? In Telegraph today.

    9m+2m+16m= 27m ... add to that the sale of Prozone. Interests ... you have with you own eyes not found evindence they are charging interest up till the latest accounts. Why would they change policy when there's no real shift of control or ownership?

    Where has the £30 million lost/spent gone:

    It is pretty much as expected. Read the FAQ-2 Money Talks here: http://www.skybluestalk.co.uk/threads/11316-FAQ-2-Money-Talks (and while you're at it ... read the other two FAQ's as there are bits on FFP and other strategy issues). Making those signings were good acqusitions but as Ranson...
