So, doesn't mean we can't buy any players, we've resigned/signed 3 players already. The money is holed up somewhere I bet.

We could've done a Plymouth, Luton, Bradford, or Pompey (take your pick!) had we got relegated that season, there is a possibility that, we wouldn't have been able to rebuild ourselves like we have done this season, signing about 12 players permanently, 16-17 with loanees.

I hope he is llike 7th choice, and we get promoted with Clarke topping the goal scoring tables, so he regrets not signing for CCFC. Hopefully he doesn't do well and maybe we could sign him after his loan spell maybe?

I'm at work 5pm-9pm so unfortunately, I can't come, when's the next meeting?

Had we gone into admin, which was supposedly 30 minutes away from doing so, we would've got relegated that season! That is worth something.

We don't know what would've happened though, to say with such confidence it "would've been better" is wrong, we don't know if we would've done a Pompey, Luton, Plymouth etc. We have got relegated, brought a whole new team, got a new manager, and we're on the up.

Why not? I'd just work part time, to bank roll, ST for CCFC, away days etc. driving to work in a Ferrari, coming back to my 3m, fully paid mansion ;)

What time, I have work?

It's a real shame I haven't got an answer to my question yet. I'm going to assume the SBT (trust) would've naively accepted a 50% reduction to the rent, allowing the club to continue paying excessive rent, with less power to negotiate further concessions.

I'd say that I'm open minded, I just think the Trust couldn't run the club, it doesn't have the capital to do so. If the Trust one day represents a proportionate amount of fans, I'd like to see it own a minority stake in the club, having say, 1 board member. What I don't like is, the Trust...

Yeah agreed. But, I'm still waiting for an answer on the 1st offer to the rent agreement...

I have to admit, I laughed at the 'we try to be neutral' comment.

But it doesn't represent even 10% of average match day support. On TU's, they represent millions of workers, at a rough guess, more than 25% of workers in Britain, but governments, such as the Thatcherite and ConDem coalition, still ignore them. My point here is, the Trust could potentially...

They certainly talked a good game, but didn't put their money where their mouth was.

If the Trust was negotiating (not SISU), would the Trust have accepted the 50% reduction? Yes or No. EDIT: I'd really like a definite answer on this! I'm incline to believe the Trust would have naively accepted, looking at -50% as a figure as opposed to 600+k! I'm also worried you're dodging...

I don't mean to slag off the SBT, but the only potential I see in it is being a minor pressure group, at best, I don't think supporters' trusts are practical in football, in a capitalist society, without bring politics in it, I think it's only practical in a socialist society, or at least if...

I know what the initials stand for. I'm SBT, the forum is SBT and the Trust, is SBT, I know that! I mean what does the trust stand for in terms of rent, how it'll takeover the club etc. etc.

You said it yourself, high rent agreements affect how much we can spend because of FFP :facepalm:

Lets hope McG does shit and Ipswich get relegated! ;)

What does the SBT stand for? Thanks
