    I am not calling you a doom monger and I am not having a go at you! We have been friendly for a few years on the other board and I have nothing to settle with you. I aplolgise! Anyway you are right in most you say - the squad is very very slim. I do think the chairman is trying to bring in...

    Clouting Refuses To Be Drawn on Hoffman Talks

    I don't think it is naive to target break even for next season - we are a lot closer than you think. If we had sold Westie and Gunnar last Summer and replaced them with likes of Dunn and Bigimama/Thomas the club would probably broke even last year. Even if the new financial fair play rules are...

    We should realise we have a new board and management and since they were installed we haven't actually sold any player. It was almost criminal Westwood and Gunnar were allowed to leave on a free, but that is neither SISU's nor the new chairmans fault. Blame that one on Ranson and the old regime...

    You should read the posts of OldSkyBlue58 - he's done a terrific job explaining the club accounts. What you do not take into consideration is depreciation, especially on players. The current yearly loss is probably around 3.5 million, but the cash flow deficit is probably down to 2-2.5 million...

    If we could count in the revenue from the stadium it will stand us much better than we do atm. There will always be richer clubs in our division (whichever), but as our attendances is just about average for the championship league we will not be without some competing power. But money alone is...

    Let me rephrase Their investments are placed as loans. The terms on these loans are such that they charge no interest and there are no periodic installments. This way the loans will never be defaulted and so they hold their original value in SISU's books. This is why SISU have not yet actually...

    Clouting Refuses To Be Drawn on Hoffman Talks

    What makes you think that? Is that the final date on some ancient inca calendar? Or are you refering to the statement from the board that the owners have agreed to a revised plan and made cash available to the end of the season? If so, maybe at that time the owners will evaluate the situation...

    Questionaire: Fans thoughts

    1. Where do you think ccfc will finish this season? 17-18th 2. Who do you think is ccfc most valuable asset? Juke 3. Who do you think is ccfc most influential player? Clingan 4. Do you think AT is right for the job, and if not who? Jury still out, but like his style of play. 5. Do you think...

    Clouting Refuses To Be Drawn on Hoffman Talks

    As it stands SISU have not lost a single penny. They have put a lot in but in such a way that the value is preserved in their balance sheets. They will only realise a loss if they sell for anything less than they have put in. So they are somewhat safe as long as the club can live within its...

    Blessing in disguise?

    Really - think again please. Bury just showed us that we wouldn't be able to compete in L1!

    If the worst happens?

    After all those years, how could I stop supporting? I didn't stop when we were relegated 10 years ago, so I can't see me stop should we go further down.

    Sisu protest

    Great post Edgy - it is good to see that you respect people with a different oppinion from yours. Congratulation on your MBA in management, when and where did you graduate? Oh btw - I didn't realise this is now a national problem.

    Sisu protest

    Sorry Brinner but I think we have too many fans that don't UNDERSTAND our problem. You are blind to the fact that our current owners actually are keeping the club alive and by balancing income and cost tries to keep the club alive with a future. You say SISU are dismantling the club - how...

    Whats Happened To Sheffers?

    I agree. When was played on the left wing people defended him, saying he should be played up front. He was played up front on Saturday. But he was played behind King and Juke before he got injured at the end of last season - and I think he did well enogh in that position.

    Yet - we blame SISU for know nowt about football.

    relegation?

    Yes - only time will tell. It is obvious we need more bodies as the squad really is thread bare. But trading must be sensible. The chairman got a lot of stick on this board for pointing out that Westwood left for free and was replaced with two adequate replacements brought in for free - and...

    relegation?

    Whoa ... that's what you want, you should be exicited! They are turning the club around so it can live within its means. Thats who they are, thats what they do. OldSkyBlue58 analysed the current financial situation and concluded that at the moment the club has a cash flow deficit around 2.5...

    two new board members??

    Yes, it is possible. A joint venture would be great for the club - be it with Hoffman's investors and/or any other serious money. Spending a lot of cash on buying out SISU is ludicrous. New money should be used to buy the stadium and invest in the long term survival. For now I think Hoffman is...
