SISU do have a history of changing their mind you know. Here's a quote from former CCFC executive after the AL, JS meeting in London. “Joy’s door is open to Ann for further discussions. But we would have to be clear this time that it would be a discussion about stadium ownership.”

When were SISU turned down?

So what you're saying is then that SISU had no reason not to make a bid after being publicly invited to do so and the council leader went all the way to London to hear it. Why didn't they make a bid then? The ethics meeting as you point out shows that there was a basis for a deal that both...

The only people who can give us the information is SISU, not the telegraph. Why you bring them into the argument is beyond me when all they can do is speculate like the rest of us. I suspect that if you and a few others on here spent as much time on here asking why the only party who can give...

I'm guessing that the operating costs of the stadium are within the £15m "other expenses". Shame there isn't a breakdown so you can see how much of that is the cost of running the stadium.

Agreed. As I keep saying there is a bigger picture in play. I would just point out how difficult it's been to attract a shirt sponsor or even player sponsors in the match day program over the last few years. We're hardly accomplished under SISU's watch at attracting sponsorship. Don't we get...

No. Like I've said there's a much bigger picture in play and just because a team has a bigger turnover doesn't mean that they have the same operating costs and owning and running a stadium is a large operating cost. Read post #925 so I don't repeat myself.

Have you never considered that the reason that they do it is because they have the costs of running a stadium 365days a year and maybe even the cost of servicing the debt created from building in the first place? Does the revenue created outside of football actually cover the costs of running...

I'm not. I'm saying the importance of 365day a year revenue is being overstated and therefore a Red Herring. It's pretty clear that ticket revenue is king outside of the premier league surely maximizing this is the most important thing, you don't do that by building a 12-15k stadium and when in...

So everyone with revenue is in less debt than us and has a larger playing budget? I'd be surprised if that turned out to be remotely anywhere near the truth. There's a much bigger picture at play here.

Doesn't the fact that both Southampton and Bournemouth have access to 365 day a year revenue actually show what a Red Herring all the lack of access to revenues talk is? They didn't get promoted because of revenue, they got promoted because they not only had someone willing to put the money in...

What's the betting we bomb out at the group stage.

You would say that. You're pro council ;)

Come on the Norn Iron.

Look on the bright side. Iron Brew aren't expecting a dip in sales over the summer anymore.

Can I just take this opportunity to remind everyone how gracious Scotland were to volunteer to stay home and keep an eye on the place while everyone else is away.

Merry Christmas Otis and a Happy New Year. The same to everyone else.

Or SISU. I wouldn't be at all surprised if that possibility came to light.

That's true. I forgot about that ;)

Fuck you. It's all your fault. BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO :slap: ;)
