... where will we realistically finish?

I can see a relegation scrap with a team of largely youth team players and virtually no squad investment. Crowds of about 6/7,000. SISU's master plan of turning a club who graced the top flight for 34 years and used to beat Chelsea, Liverpool and United into a lower league minnow will be complete. They must go this summer, the stakes are too high for them to remain.

Beats the hell out of me why they are clinging on.

Would you still go to home matches with them in charge next season Jimmy?

I'm afraid my conscience would not allow me to continue propping up this crooked regime, so if they are still here it will be away matches only for me.

I won't be seeing it..........its SISU Out or nothing for me anyway now ! You have to make a stand somewhere. Until the crooks can tell me what this £12 million admin charge refers to in last years accounts and tell me why our debt jumped by £15 million in two months inside 2013 then they're not having my cash !

They'll fuck off if they know they've lost the revenue from the fans and stand to lose even more dosh. Its simple if they go I renew if they don't I'll go the odd away game and find other stuff to do. I'm praying for a new start with new owners though as its in my blood !

I can see it being quite a lot worse. You only have to have a couple of weak point ine the team and it can fall apart very easily like 2001 and 2012 relegation and the last 3/4 weeks this season.

To progress you need to have stability and people working together. That is not quite the situation is it?

If - and it has to be a massive if - SISU are still running the club next season, it can only be because some sort of deal has been struck with ACL/CCC. And if that is the case I just don't see why the season should be a gradual decine into obscurity as the OP has suggested.
If they are still around and have stuck it out to get a deal, surely they will have to aim to get the club on a sound operational footing, both on and off the field, if only to stand half a chance of recovering their 'investment' by selling on. The jewel that is the Ricoh, paying its way with an income stream instead of being a financial drain, plus a team heading for the championship will surely be more saleable.
I guess the main clue we are going to get is when the administrator clarifies the options in his report in May. As for PH4/Joe/Hoffman, they seem to be doing a lot of drum banging, but they are nowhere near the driving seat yet, in my opinion (for what that's worth).

I am not saying it will happen as it will not. However, if SISU pumped £100 million into the club next season I think you would find that they could be as crooked as they liked and any misdemeanour's defended to the hilt.

I don't think it would. New owners, yes you might have a point.

Yes we would all be happy at them putting that money into the club, but would anyone believe that it wasn't just being added to the pile of debt? The fact is we now can't trust them, therefore whatever they do, even if it is genuine, will be looked at with suspicion.
