Not sure what your source is, Grendel. According to the Pompey Supporters Trust: The Pompey Supporters' Trust moved a significant step closer to taking control of Portsmouth FC after exchanging contracts on Thursday [7 March]to buy the club out of administration in partnership with a number of...

I always believed the stadium was dependent on ccfc both for direct income (rent) and wider 'brand recognition'. But the evidence seems to be stacking up that ACL have got their act together, can survive without ccfc and what took me aback looking at the Ricoh company website is they refer to...

I clicked on the http://www.ricoh.com/about/company/a...etc/index.html link and the section on the Ricoh is headed 'Ricoh Arena (Birmingham, UK). It would appear that any link with Coventry (never mind ccfc) is, in marketing terms, irrelevant. The quote from Ricoh that CCFC's "future performance...

Thanks OSB. I have said previously that I wondered why ACL had never made a profit net of CCFC rent and questioned whether they could so. But the accounts provide concrete facts rather than opinion so really does look like ACL have improved their performance significantly and there is no reason...

@CJ_covblaze is a member of the Sky Blue Trust Board and did a brilliant job tweeting last night. Report of the meeting has already been posted on skybluetrust.co.uk. It was a great meeting and a lot of the stuff SW said was really interesting eg how brutal the world of football is these days...

I have previously posted that I couldn't undestand why ACL didn't make a profit cos conferences etc looked like a goldmine. But those saying ACL have got their act together look like they're being proved right. I'm not sure where this leaves TF's comments about ACL nor the argument that ACL...

Darly Murphy is tweeting that profit was '£1,086,886 minus £900,000 rent (approx) = £186,886 profit net of rent'

I've been saying I'll give up on the City for as long as I can remember (apart from 87 through to early 90s) but I reckon it would be easier to get off heroin. I did give up my season ticket cos of money, time, kids but I go to that many games I'd probably be better off with one. As for next...

Is this the Lazarus thread? Aren't we on admin v liquidation v afc cov now??

£1k is a lot of money. I think Pompey have an option of putting in £100 and then you can save till you reach £1k, and they did have some sort of pool system eg 10 people put in £100 = 1 share. Pompey do seem to be getting a decent number of people buying shares so maybe it could happen here if...

Several scenarios remain possible. The thought of starting as a new club in blue square is really depressing but to follow the idea in this thread if that scenario arose how many on here would be able/willing to follow the Pompey approach of buying a community share at £1k a time?

There are still a number of potential scenarios and yes, the Sky Blue Trust has put a lot of effort into working through how other Trusts have acted (Swans and Pompey Trust websites are good starting points) and getting people with legal/financial expertise involved who will help with whatever...

As this thread has covered everything from Jane Austen to animal welfare/rights I am going to give a plug to Jan's separate thread about the Sky Blue Trust having Steve Waggott as guest speaker, 7.30 @ The Squirrel, Monday 4 March. The focus will be on football (the kind of stuff that happened...

Interesting posts last night by Brighton, Dude and this one from Bennet (no disresepct to points about Jane Austen and Taylor needing a girlfriend!) Asking from a point of complete ignorance, is the approach Bennet mentions one that might interest sisu, and how would it work? If it's about...

As a rational human being the answer has to be zilch. But this is football so isn't rational. My personal wealth extends to about a grand so not going to get far with that but if someone came along with say £5m would sisu have any interest in that?

Million dollar (?) question seems to be how much/little sisu would accept as an offer now. I've seen lots of different figures bandies about but I have no idea what would be acceptable to sisu. Also, someone else pointed out on another thread that given the current dispute could you imagine what...

If sisu decide to walk they wave goodbye to what I think is now about £47m which strikes me as a heck of a hit to take. Is another option that they settle the current dispute, then do further cost cutting to reach break even point asap so there are no more financial losses (irrespective of what...

SBT - Swans Trust is a great example of fans working together and then bringing together a consortium of investors who then between them have the necessary skills. I would have thought it goes without saying that you need football people on the football side, and legal/financial/marketing etc...

I think that most city fans agree, famous last words, that we have been in a mess for a long time now, not just the last few months. I also think most people are sick to death of the whole anti/pro sisu/acl/council stuff. The key thing is how to start moving things forwards. Why won't both sides...

Afraid I didn't understand this response last night and still not sure what it's getting at. My point is the Swans Trust proves fans can make (positive) things happen, nothing to do with CCFC managers
