You're happy with the club having owners that don't give a shit about your football club or you, are you?

"business as usual "by Timmy. very very predictable really, sisu never will and b=never have invested in the playing staff (apart from the early years before they realised what they had done)


Only hope is that even sisu realise they are flogging a dead horse and sell up..sooner rather than later.

Those who think sisu will ever invest in the club are seriously misguided!!!

If these players are on an average of £8000 a week then the club will save £1.25million a year. Surely there is no way they can be on £8000 a week.

I'd fully believe Baker and Murphy could be, it'd fit with the wage policy of certain other players we signed around that time.

Clarke would surprise me, but we *were* desperate for a striker.

I know football has gone mad but to pay £8000 a week to a players from Scunthorpe and Stockport who i believe were both in League one when we signed them? Yeovil were promoted on a wage bill of around the figure we are paying 3 players.

...and there we have the reason why our club has been shoddily run for years.

Spunk money on signings in the hope of league success, forget the structure of the club.

Not all the debt boils down to a conspiracy theory.

Sold????

You mean undisclosed fee .......

What is that misplaced and incorrectly used phrase banded round here so often

Oh yes that is it 'wake up and smell the coffee, triple strength espresso for Grendel! '

Thought he's always had a lazy attitude about him. Having said that you'd have thought he would be playing out of his skin if he's looking for a move.

I hope there is nothing in the article but the thought of all 3 of them leaving is scary

I think I might go and chuck myself in front of a lorry if all 3 are sold

Pray this isn't true

A council who cost us possible promotion and now try to get us relegated

Owners who turn everything they touch to shit

When the fuck will Ccfc be free?

Watching Carl Baker and Leon Clark yesterday, there was very little there. I like Baker as a player very much, always gives 100%. His body language to me seemed different. Leon Clark was never in the game. The mail is garbage, but where does this story come from?

If this article becomes a reality... sad as it may well be, with the inevitable consequence of yet even more playing demise, but that it is one final 'asset strip' by SISU before they sell and head off for the sunset... then its a price worth paying.

As for the SISU apologist accusation - grow up.

Or change your marketing and income streams, maybe engage with your customers and react to the feed back?

Yeah, cos that's the big issue in this story..... Bad times if true and one which will lead to certain relegation and importantly will lead to further fans becoming disenchanted with the club.

lol It's SISU we are talking about, they are never going to do that. I doubt they give a toss about the customers.

If we're paying £8k pw for them then we shouldn't be, that's bad management and they should leave.

I'm no longer surprised by anything which our owners do. It matters not one jot to them which division we are in. They will still demand 30 mill. to sell. I really think that the whole thing has now become personal and that they will do almost anything to destroy us completely!
Click to expand...

Unfortunately, I think you're right.

Otium/SISU are still having to fund the wages of 5 members of the 'bomb squad' - I'm guessing this is costing them circa £0.5m pa?. In addition, as a result of their decision to play home matches at Sixfields, Otium/Sisu have suffered a loss of revenue of circa £0.75m to £1.00m pa on ticket sales - again this is just a guesstimate. Regardless of the problem this creates with FFP rules, we can be certain that Otium/Sisu will not be willing to fund a loss of over £1.25m pa compared with their, (presumably break even) budget. I therefore believe this sort of drastic cost cutting is inevitable.

That said, it is the Daily Mail, so this story could be speculation.

There's no way those 3 are on 8k a week each, king was on 10k and those 3 aren't fit to lace his boots.

I'm suprised any of the three players are still at the club still after we were forced into administration and missed out on the play offs last season !

I'd only miss Murphy out of them three.

like i said in the thread i started, sisu are now operating out of spite. they despise anyone who oppose them and their actions, like the sky blues fans and acl. i fear this is going to be a deliberate, slow, long and drawn out death of our club.

Can we get any lower? Anything else left to sell? Ryton?
So sell 3 players to be able to file accounts, then only bring 2 in?
League 2 here we come!

If those 3 players are on an average of £8k per week, then those players combined £1.24m) cost 78% more than Yeovils entire squad (£700k)
