    Scale-up...then that is what we all want. Medium size stadium, 3/4 to full every game, lots of income, shrewdly used to put a reasonably attractive playing side that mean we all smile wryly or grin like a Cheshire cat each week instead of searching for the razor blade! ...onwards & upwards PUSB

    I think they were last in the 2nd tier in about 2004/5/6? And they got to Wembley last season in JPT...lost admittedly, & have also been relegated to L2 possibly a couple of times - BUT won promotions back to L1. So I guess you could argue that since yr 2000 they have had more success & their...

    Dave Gorman

    Dave Gorman is the kind of show I stumble into when bored late evening. Like Otis I find him very good clever-cock ha-ha stuff rather than hilarious belly-laughing stuff...but very good all the same. It strikes me as a kind of obscure humour to most ...onwards & upwards PUSB

    Over a million in legal fees

    I have no doubt that SISU would like to have a successful team on the pitch. Their vision of the bigger picture is perhaps not aligned with what most fans want (/understand as realistic?)...had they succeeded in gaining the Ricoh at knockdown price CCFC would be in a better position (& hence...

    All products (or things treated as such) operated within a fairly standard business model has a life cycle. Football has been over exposed & milked. I hear in some parts that kids league teams are stuggling to get enough players. They have lost interest...20yrs time football as a business will...

    D'y know my recently deceased dad (God bless him) said to me when I was celebrating the Ricoh build announcement (& I can hear him so clearly in my head) "You'll regret it in 10-20years. Every club that builds a new stadium with huge outside financing runs into trouble - you wait & see" The...

    Agree there is no easy answer - but 5yrs of being booted out & initial investments being wiped out in terms of value would tend to motivate potential owners to make this work rather than just plod or not give much of a shit. 1. Untoward is circumstantial. Taking us to Northampton would've been...

    I agree...but whichever route - the fans either gain or suffer in most circumstances. This just takes the penalties for potential owners to the extreme so football clubs maybe appear less attractive an investment to the fly-by-night & SISU type potential owners. Football in general would be...

    I haven't kept up to date on all this crap tbh...but are you CERTAIN there is no offer to renew? Could it be the case that there was a suggestion to renew the existing deal for 5yrs...but SISU said '50yrs & you've got a deal'? Or 'Halve it & you've got a deal'? That would be no real surprise...

    See it is therefore a pointless exercise to carry out such a 'fit & proper persons test'. Why don't they change their own rules to retain the right to withdraw the Golden Share at any point within a 5yr period if they suspect things are untoward? ...onwards & upwards PUSB
