Smoke screen .... look, these guys don't play smoke and mirrors as you suggest. They are actually serious people. Why can't you see SISU working with other venture groups? As I said one line above they are serious people, and if they have reached their own limit, surely they are open for any...

I can only really think of two likely scenarios: 1) As OSB58 suggests, the new directors might represent potential investors who joins the board as negotiations are positive and well underway. 2) SISU want to step up search for new investors and have recruited two guys with a vast network to...

My thoughts exactly - but I still think they are looking for new money to work along with SISU. This would also be the most sensible solution. This could well be very bad news for the SISU out brigade.

Moon - played for The Who.

No way McSheffrey is going to play in any position with defensive responsibilities!!!

And it only take 1 poor manager to make a good team bad ...

Responding to all these post stating as facts that SISU have 'lost' all the money they have invested. The loans: All loans are provided as interest free and without periodic installments. Good luck getting such a deal from your own bank :p As the loans are serviced according to the conditions...

If my memoy serves me, Bobby Moroe suffered from cancer (colon cancer?). Hopefully SG really is just having an infection.

Look, SISU was never the initiating part in the takeover three years ago. Equity funds simply does not work that way. Somebody came to SISU and presented a business opportunity, a vision and a plan. And that somebody was Ranson. It was Ranson who wanted a football club in the first place - never...

Please define 'lost' for me. Have they lost all or how much do you think they have lost. And also please explain why they should leave. Is because you want them to or because you think they will want to leave at this point.

But the circumstances are not the same, are they? When SISU took over the banks creditors had refused to extend their credit, the banks called in the loans and what have you. This is hardly the case today - especially as SISU have said they will continue to fund the cash deficit.

So I take it you're not neutral then :D

In the early days when all was rosy and the club was run by ex-pro footballers ... well what really happened? The budget was not respected. Ineffectual managers were hired. Failure to sell players when they would command a fee. If the plans had been followed and the owners not requested to keep...

I think that Ranson and Hoffman had one vote each and was outvoted by the remainding of the board. The number of shares they represented did not come into account.

When I was young my mother was my bank. Now my wife is my bank. Maybe SISU is the clubs bank?

OSB58, I think the vision is to own the stadium 100%. The Stadium holds two assets - the property and the lease. Fisrt step must be to secure the lease which is where the revenue is. How? Well, that will probably take a lot of new money and some long and hard negotiations. Based on...

And it is all very confusing. What we should do first of all is to understand the different parties involved. For instance the Bord and SISU are not the same. SISU are the owners - the shareholders. They have appointed a board to oversee their interest. The board have appointed a chaiman who is...

But then we beat Leicester and all is good :D.

:D Good point! But I guess it would actually be the bord of the football club as this is the primary target for a takeover. The other comapnies are merely a distraction in this case.

He uses Twitter a lot for his own businesses, not just for CCFC. He could simply be on holiday, but on the other hand his silence does seems a bit odd. If there really is ongoing negotion with new money - could be someone else than GH - he simply MUST stay silent, even if this means he cannot...
