That's Simon Gilberts tweet from last night....he followed it up by one saying the CT has started talking to all the major player, but needs the fans to act.

What is CTs agenda here?

Don't know the CT agenda Stu but I'm certain Mr Gilbert's agenda isn't driven by concern for our poor start to the season or generally for any interest in CCFC in a football sense.

Or maybe he is encouraging protests so much so that he can cover them and get some clicks.

That's his job...

The first two points Simon makes are fact, no scare mongering involved at all.
The rest is a prediction that looks inevitable the way the club is going, again not scare mongering, but looking more likely than anything else.

They aren't fact, as they haven't actually happened yet.

Yes, it is scare mongering.

It's then followed by encouraging fan action isn't it?

It is almost as if he is trying to tell people to protest some more...... Who will cover it I wonder? Who will then be able to sell some books of it?

Agreed and I've no doubt that Simon in his capacity as a journalist has been told things off the record which brings him to this conclusion.

Well as the club are apparently refusing to talk to him, I wonder who could be whispering in his ear

Simon has a job to do and a family to feed like anybody else.

Looks like he is trying to whip up the fans to me. If the CT has started to engage the major players why doesn't he report what has been said. I suspect he has been told to F off and that is why he is saying that the fans have more clout, where is Neville Foulger when we need him.

Apparently they were pressuring Wasps 2 weeks ago and an article was coming.

And Nemo/Derek Henderson ☺ The trouble is when the CT have at least 4 sports reporters commenting on the football side of CCFC, their Chief Reporter or whatever he is keeps sticking his oar in. My, how times have changed.

Quite laughable really.

Just shows how extremely wrong they are. From what I have seen it is because they want him to expose all of their made up rumours, then when he doesn't he loves SISU.

Let's not pretend that the telegraph wouldn't love to have a headline saying how Joy is pocketing all of the money from the club to buy Ferraris. Also, let's not try and think that both the telegraph and PR companies would have gone through to try and see and expose it.

It dies amaze me that anyone thinks the owners are making money out of this situation
There can't be many people who actually believe that surely.
It's nearly as extreme as those who believe when the owners make decisions they purely have the interests of CCFC behind those decision and not that what sometimes is best for SISU as a company isn't necessarily what's best for CCFC.
These two extremes are bizarre.
As I say must very very few people who fit in those brackets

It is why people say Simon is working with SISU, because he won't expose them for taking all of the money etc etc. I am pretty sure if he could he would, it would be a big story.

There are few people left? Really? There are more and more like it.

It was more that some people are so eager to be angry at ccfc and sisu that they can't see straight through it.

He was 1 step away from handing out flyers for the last protest.

Then he keeps moaning the club won't speak to him?

How many people have you seen suggesting Simon works for SISU
Is it on the crazy CET comments section again?

I didn't say works for sisu. I mean things like sisu Simon etc.

A few have said it. How many keep saying about sisu taking all the money? That number is growing.

Sisu Simon? If anything, he is the exact opposite. Just shows how mentally unstable some of their correspondents must be.

Sorry how many people have you seen say SISU Simon and that SISU are making money
It must be only a very select few surely.
Like the other extreme who say al SISU's decisions are good for the club
Very tiny minority

How many have I seen say that sisu are taking money out of the club? Are you living in a world with your eyes closed or something or are you playing the naive trick again?
