It's strange, you aren't commenting on people rounding on me with a different view?
I don't mind, different opinions are to be expected.
GMK used to be a great forum, but entered a downhill spiral to result in a handful of anti-council, anti-CET zealots who'd round on anyone with a contrary view. This forum's default position is now exactly the same.
I'm sure the CET's piece is in response to yet another board member leaving the club in a worse position than he found it. Yet the usual suspects decide its motivated more by a book launch or a desperate bid to increase circulation.
Yes, the CET - like any paper - is looking for readers. Yes, there's a book coming out. But his stance is - I'm sure - in response to the merry-go-round in our board continuing at a point when we're bottom on the league with zero tangible assets. Enough, really, is enough.
(I do understand I haven't posted on here a few weeks, and that makes my view inferior to that of some...)
Good news would be mr b wants to buy the club and he has fantastic plans for the future. Who could argue? I certainly couldn't and would be fully behind him.
This is just repeating what the trust said yesterday.
Sadly, all this probably means is to expect bad news which is more worrying.
Exactly, but the opinion piece isn't really needed as it is exactly what 99% of people think. Was it to target the 1% who don't agree?
My point was, who is going to buy the club? You'd clearly have to be mental to go anywhere near it. The only solution I would see is if Wasps bought out SISU. Which is exactly what I think the tactic is. Like SISU tried to distress ACL. Wasps (and the CCC) are doing exactly the same thing. Not saying thats a bad thing but how far do you take it?
Yes I am happy with this article and it gets straight to the point and no one can disagree with it. It's nothing new I agree but it needed to be said and some pressure and this is now real pressure needs to be applied.
If you ask me I agree with chipfat. Things are happening behind the scenes. Good or bad I don't know. Anderson jumps ship and club are bottom of the league. Academy is finished in a few months time and Ricoh expires in 18 months. The squeeze has well and truely been put on. Wasps won't talk to us. Ccc hate us. It's all a deliberate attempt to rid of sisu.
They are universally hated and it's right. Enough is enough now.
Overall great article and I watched the video on the article of perry explaining why the article and it's 5 mins long and well worth a watch. Things are finally happening.
I didn't say he did, I'm on about the way people are taking this as good news.Simon didn't say good news, it said I'm expecting the front page of tomorrows telegraph to cause quite a stir.
For god sake Nick get off you soap box for once.

I don't see anyone dancing about, I see fans standing up to what's right, that our club is in turmoil and every tom dick and Harry can see that. Your argument for the telegraph getting involved is a book launch, not the fact they're speaking up for the supporters they write for?Look a fool? I'm not the one getting my hopes up sisu are going or we have a new buyer every time there's an anti climax.
Surely as we all support the same club instead of dancing about like this is some sort of earth shattering revelation we should have learnt it's usually followed by bad news.
I hope I'm wrong this time and it's followed by a fantastic new owner!
The 1% who disagree on here seem to be trying to distract from the point made. We are now on to Wasps ( see above post - not yours )and soon it will be CCC and Higgs.
I didn't say he did, I'm on about the way people are taking this as good news.

Apparently not.Oh God!
I never said 'the' first post. I said 'your' first post.
Simple enough to comprehend even for you.
I have said over and over I'd love for new owners to come in and take over and do a much better job. With SISU we are going to just run as self sufficient (well, they will try), which I have also said over and over again.It's a shift in the Telegraphs stance, so from that point of view they are now aligned with 99% of the fans, surely that has to be good news unless of course you are one of the 1%.
Are you one of the 1% Nick, do you think this club is going places under SISU? Do you want SISU to remain at the club for a further decade?

Where is there a mention of today's meeting with the FL about the Academy
How does Anderson leaving leave the Club any worse than when he came. Most on here criticised the guy from day one while others never knew what he was supposed to do anyway
What happened the Sports Academy that was supposed to be built at the Ricoh - part of the original sale? Why dont they build that first?
There keeps being references to ongoing legals between SISU & CCC - when did we last see any reference to legals. If there was any actual activity on this front I am sure our intrepid CT reporters would be sharing them with us
I suppose it does make a difference when you pay substantial amounts to the publisher and you are the paper of preference for CCC
But you seem to have taken issue with the ct because they have run a front page story telling our owners to sod off, isnt that what we all want?I was on about tim07

I don't mind, different opinions are to be expected.
I want new owners to come in who will care about the club, I want new owners who will communicate with fans like people. It is a world away from shouting PISS OFF to them.
People need to sit down and think about WHY should people buy CCFC? Yes, we all support and love them but why would Bill Gates etc etc. (random rich mans name).
It is almost as if I am the only one who sees things like this and start to see a bigger picture.

Boo Hoo, You are the one that rounds on posters with a different view to yours.
CWR wouldn't do this for fear of not getting access to the team / manager etc for interviews.
You cant see the club / SISU being too happy with work with CT after this.
But haven't wasps paid for this advertising and couldn't ccfc?
I dont think anyone memtioned news did they? Important for local press to keep pressure on owners
CET are entitled to voice their opinion - don't really think anyone is questioning that.
It's more disappointing though that they didn't feel the need to voice their opinion on the Wasps purchase of Ricoh or the impending displacement of our academy.
Both of these decisions will have detrimental consequences long after SISU have disappeared.

How did you know?Usual CT story I bet, hyped up, underwhelming click bait...
Interesting that when people were asking the CT to get involved in a Save The Academy campaign the response was that was not for the paper to do it was down to fans, what makes this different?I guess the one positive thing is that at least the CT have finally got of the fence and are now saying SISU out.
Different view are to be expected, yes. Which is why it's disappointing when you use the old 'you haven't posted in here for weeks' line; as that insinuates that this view is not as worthy as the usual suspects who always voice the same, narrow narrative
The timing here is relevant. We are bottom of the league and the MD has jumped.
This article just ties in with everything else going on. Wasps refusing to talk to us about the Ricoh and us losing the academy.
My point is in the next year or so things are going to have to give. If wasps and other teams won't lend us their ground what the hell do sisu do? They are snookered. It's over.
My point was I am not the one giving it the "oh people disagree with me so i dont like it" line was I? As multiple people were "rounding" on me.
I was saying I don't mind it, they have a different opinion mostly. Some just have agendas but in the tiny minority.
Hopefully they've got wind from there pals at Wasps that the game is nearly up for SISU and want to be able to revel in the glory of being on the side of the Rebel Alliance rather than the Darkside!I haven't said it's entirely for a book launch have I?
Why are they doing it now? Because a bloke everybody said was useless has left? We are bottom of the league (we won't be come the end of the season).
