Sadly I think unless they get a decent offer or win the JR sisu will still be here in 4-5 years time. A solution for the academy will be found and when it comes to the crunch wasps will agree another short term deal at the Ricoh.

I just can't see it, unless it's as some kind of silent partner, they are being squeezed
From all sides and are rapidly running out of places to hide.

Doesn't seem to be Tony's. He and Captain Dart seem obsessed with making tired jokes about you and Telegraph spin. Perhaps they should focus on CCFC instead.

Nick and the telegraph spin is a joke especially when we have the "invested £60M" spin from our owners, the "we've moved on" spun, the "we're talking to local authorities, environment agencies blah blah blah" spin. The list goes on and on. Yet Nick isn't worried about the spin from our owners that directly puts the boot in the club. He isn't starting threads on it. In comparison he's barely spent a breath on it. Much better to get obsessed with the telegraph and sensationalised headlines (hold the front page, newspaper in sensationalised headline shocker) than the very real spin that directly effects CCFC. Very odd behaviour if your priority is only CCFC.

I'll be sat in the cold tomorrow watching us, will you, captain and Simon? Will the editor the brummie, man Utd fan?

The difference is, nobody believes and argues their shit do they?

But are they though? They're running us at near breakeven meaning they aren't having to pour in a lot of money.

The academy? Well they are talking to wasps and CSF (and FL and FA) about an interim solution. OSB said a couple of weeks ago that Warwick uni have just added developing an indoor 3g footy pitch on their sports plan - its likely the club have already had dialogue with them about that.

Ricoh? Yes wasps are refusing to negotiate, but I really cannot see them kicking us out in 18 months time. Another short term (2-4 year) contract will likely be agreed when push come to shove.

Lower gates? Plenty of teams in our league and below, survive on gates of less than 5k. They will just cut costs further, and will probably downgrade the academy.

They have run down every possible path in what to do in regards to the club, selling the training ground is and was the last bit of worth the club had and we know where that is heading. Its been a very long road with Sisu and clowns like TF running round making things worse with every interview or statement has really not helped the club in anyway shape or form. But lets hope for all our sake they have been squeezed in the football business enough to decide the publicity is very harmful to Sisu's future within the realm they deal in.

It has been a very bad tenure and should be a reminder to any club and the FL that unless they get stronger with owners more clubs and fans will suffer and move away from the game. How they do this is anyone guess? but having a rule which includes removal of the GS if owners are struggling to stay within the realms set from the start will make it safer for the common fan to know that owners are accountable for actions taken in the name of business.

I'd go along with that Nick but how many posts have you made in say the last 2 weeks talking about the CT that I have come on and said something about? please do try and back up your comment above.

Oh and you love that Sisu caveat, don't you. You got nothing else on them then?

You haven't come on in the last 2 weeks, your last post before was about that.

About what? Like you said, I haven't been on for a while and this thread was at the top of the list before I have had chance to look at others. At least give me a chance to answer the other dicks on here!

I pulled you because of your comment. Tell me then Nick, if CCFC were all you cared about, why have you not shown the same venom towards our owners who have a direct responsibility to us than you have against the CT or the council? Please answer the question (not with another question).

Because the difference is nobody believes anything SISU say, me included.

The telegraph stir shit up to get clicks, why not do some digging and bring SISU down that way? Why not go and speak to financial experts and fuck them up in their world? I don't think anybody would shed a tear at that.

Sadly though, the Telegraph and others seem to play our fans like a fiddle. Just because somebody shouts SISU OUT it doesn't mean that people like the trust and other fans should climb up their arse.

SISU don't play anybody apart from RFC and the odd bloke in the SCG, because nobody believes anything they say.

Have a look through, it has been stuff about the financials and getting at them as SISU and not CCFC.

Yep, loyalties lie here:



Yes, that badge isn't SISU's priority, far from it. Everybody knows that.

It's just a shame that some seem to think that it is for others.

Well done. I'm not worthy Mr super fan. Clearly that makes it right to show more concern about telegraph spin that effects the club very little if at all than the SISU spin that effects the club on every level. You certainly don't argue it. Hard to argue it when you bury your head in the sand with it. Odd behaviour considering how much damage it's does directly to the club that your priority is.

That's the thing, every season it's "We won't have a club next season" etc etc.

"They will go when we get relegated"
"They will go when they do this".

Sadly, it seems they will go when they want to.

Less people go to games, less they will pay in wages for players. Rinse and repeat over and over so it balances.

Probably because it's so out weighed by your posts and threads on the CT and CCC. I must admit I don't remember you saying anything like that and I admittedly spend far to much time on here. SISU comments from you are background noise (more like whisper) compared to the rest of your traffic so easily missed.

Never a super fan, there are plenty who I'd class as that as though if there was such a thing and they are mostly people I disagree on with the politics anyway. There are people like SW88 who can get to every game, go abroad for pre season etc. I'd love to be able to but no chance I could A) afford it B) have a job still C) get the pass

Their crap gets more discussion because you are on here trying to say people are making it up and arguing it as much as you can.

It gets pointed out because sadly believe seem to be a blinded and roll the red carpet out for the Telegraph etc because they say SISU out all of a sudden. Fair play to Simon though, he is good at what he does!

And it's been the truth for the last 3 or 4 years as well, but these things don't
Usually happen overnight, but it's getting closer everyday. They are running
Out of wriggle room, they've exhausted every trick in the book, the truth is
Once the Ricoh was out of reach the game was up,
Just the game has to peter Out, but they hold none of the cards.

It's because you are & feel so helpless & can't influence whatever the outcome is going to be. We all share the pain. Taking it out on each other is not the answer though

They May get 10k in the Middle East, but all Bein Sports channels are available in the US, Australia, New Zealand to say the least.
Whether anybody lustres or cars about the views if Messrs Keys and Gray, they are watched by a far larger audience than 10k

I can see a few lusting over Keys, that must make them a lustee?


must admit, this makes me giggle every time!

There's the first bit, makes people a bit nervy
Second bit, that's the sign to stop there
Then carries on with the third bit.

No clue.

I wouldn't be making the same bold pronouncement as made 3-4 years ago, though. I was convinced they'd be gone by now... and the club with them.

One thing I know is you learn from what's been before.
