No crystal ball I'm afraid. Trundle along paying rent at the Ricoh for the 10 years I suppose.The Thunderbirds Producer?
That's him.
What do you think then Otis what does the future hold?
I am not sure sisu know so I have no chance in guessing.

Just saying I think that's where we are heading.To what end though. So you sign up to a ten year deal at the Ricoh. Pay the rent keep the club self sufficient. What's the aim in that?
So, in response to your options:
Build a new stadium and either sell the whole package I would guess still at a loss. - Highly Unlikely
Build a new stadium and attempt to turn the whole package into a profit making business and over a very long term chip away at debts then sell it off. - Quite Unlikely
Win significant compensation pay off the debts walk away - Very Unlikely
Win significant compensation invest it in the club achieve premiership status and sell for a small profit. - Really Unlikely
Win significant compensation put it towards the new stadium. Sell the package. - Defo Unlikely
Have the club self sufficient until all possible legal action is complete. If the legal action fails walk away. - Maybe. But Unlikely.
Sneak promotion to the championship invest 20 million on a playing squad and go for the premiership. Then sell the club clearing all debts. - Extremely Unlikely
Keep the club self sufficient whilst monitoring Wasps situation. If they are struggling invest into Wasps merging the two clubs. - I f*&king hope not.
The ideal scenario is either:
Wasps struggle, realise that High Wycombe is actually their spiritual home and bugger off back down there. CCC then approach us and give us the stadium.
Wasps do so brilliantly that actually, the Ricoh is too small and they go and buy Villa Park and boot out Villa. CCC then approach us and give us the stadium.
I am not so sure about that Terry, I think they will have a Plan A, B and C.
I just have no idea if they are in that list I just suggested and in what order.
The court cases don't involve the club as such, and as the club is still loss making after player sales, it's odd that they are still involved. It's far more likely we'll continue to make losses unless we unearth 2 Wilsons or Maddisons each year. I guess there must be some reason why they need to hold on to the club when they can still pursue the legal matters without doing so, but I don't know what it is.
No thanks never a merger I would have a take over and then throw them out back to LondonCA said in the Telegraph there are no thoughts from SISU regarding moving on. I don't know what the long term strategy is. Here are a few gueses.
Which do you think is likely? Are there any missing?
Build a new stadium and either sell the whole package I would guess still at a loss. No chance they build a stadium
Build a new stadium and attempt to turn the whole package into a profit making business and over a very long term chip away at debts then sell it off. No chance
Win significant compensation pay off the debts walk away most likely but i dont know their chance of winning
Win significant compensation invest it in the club achieve premiership status and sell for a small profit. never going to invest
Win significant compensation put it towards the new stadium. Sell the package. I would hope this but can't see it
Have the club self sufficient until all possible legal action is complete. If the legal action fails walk away. maybe
Sneak promotion to the championship invest 20 million on a playing squad and go for the premiership. Then sell the club clearing all debts. No way and i dopn't think 20 million is enough
Keep the club self sufficient whilst monitoring Wasps situation. If they are struggling invest into Wasps merging the two clubs.
Can't believe I forgot that obvious last scenario
It's crazy though isn't it,
They are the only scenarios I can think of and you found them all to be varying degrees of unlikelynes
Thanks for the post
Sisu realise that they will never get their money back and 'finally' work out that they can stop further losses by selling the club for the value of it's assets. (Example £2M)
Investors realise that they can buy the club (£2M) and build a new stadium (£40M) for a total of £42M and reunite club and a stadium.

2 million and walk away? I take it that is your wish as oppose to what you think will happen.
Do you think it maybe important when applying for compensation to still be running the club and trying to make it work after damage done by the people you are claiming compensation from?
No idea myself but does it work like that?
If you enter “sisu” into Google Translate as a Finnish word, you get the following alternatives:-
go
spunk
grit
guts
perseverance
pluck
balls
bottle
Take your pick, but I suspect that the first one is the least likely, and there will be very little of the second one (at least when it comes to money). I reckon “perseverance” is the name of the game, unfortunately.
If they are loosing £2M a year why not walk away?
No one is going to clear their debt and buy the club so why stay ?
The Thunderbirds Producer?
That's him.
What do you think then Otis what does the future hold?
