    Gillingham offer support to SISU

    Well, I certainly feel reassured now that the mighty Gills are in our corner. [/sarcasm]

    SISU may still be the best option!

    The Telegraph? Conjecture and inane bollocks it is! :)

    If the potential new owners browsed this forum tonight.....

    No need, we'll just check every club in the world, shouldn't take too long. :p

    Perhaps she has a thing for big, erm, stadiums?

    Perhaps he was trying to compare it to fire, which is fuelled by oxygen?

    If the potential new owners browsed this forum tonight.....

    I don't think it was conclusively proven. I'm convinced it wasn't her as she doesn't actually exist.

    I imagine he'll be mighty pissed with you when he finds out you've outed him then :p

    That's very true, however he is the public face of the owners, and besides which, we'll find Lord bloody Lucan before we find Joy Seppala. :)

    At SISU's offices

    I fail to see what's so ridiculous about that scenario, sounds perfectly plausible to me :)

    At SISU's offices

    Don't think of it as a "bill". Think of it as "management fees".

    At SISU's offices

    That seems rather high. I wonder if they've considered withholding their rent?

    I'm not sure we'd have had the money to compete, but you're right, that hurt us quite a lot.

    SISU may still be the best option!

    Firstly, the biggest mistake in the club's history was selling Robbie Keane and replacing him with Craig Fucking Bellamy, everyone knows that. :p On a serious note, anyone familiar with the club's finances from the mid 90s on would know that there have always been.....questionable...

    Kits and sponsorship

    I'm pretty sure when it was first announced, the club said it was for the next two years. I'd keep it for longer than that myself, I think it's a classy kit.

    SISU may still be the best option!

    Nah, he didn't. It's a fair way to drive in his defense :) I can understand people dropping their guard and accepting with welcome arms anyone but SISU. I'm not saying it's the right thing to do, but when you're so vehemently against something you tend to view any alternative with the rosiest...

    SISU may still be the best option!

    No, I think what Summerisle is suggesting is that there was some evidence about at the time that hinted at their lack of suitability for owning a football club. Somebody on here linked to an old, old, old BBC 606 thread about the takeover, written at the time, where some people did predict...

    SISU may still be the best option!

    I'm not ashamed to say that I did. I was grateful that someone, anyone, had stepped in and "saved" the club from administration. I was far too naive and far too optimistic for my own good, I suppose. For a while I even managed to rationalise the compulsory acquisition of my share in the club...

    SISU may still be the best option!

    They have overseen our drop to our lowest league position since my dad was a boy. They have made countless decisions that reflect their complete lack of understanding in footballing matters. They have treated supporters, regardless of their outlook on SISU, with the utmost disdain. They...

    second bid for city

    Sounds very promising, but I'm mildly skeptical. Only because I don't want it to be a false dawn. I do however like that it's been made clear that the club will need revenue from all events, not just football. I also found it interesting that it was mentioned that whether this came about...

    Australia. If you would be so kind as to move England closer to me though, I could probably start attending matches :)
