Nothing I want more than Ashley to buy us and build around our top players rather than stick with sisu and flog them all. We're so close

Depends on the way things go. Having read this thread, I’d advise you to take a look.

Yes, he is buying us - at some stage Mike Ashley will be the owner of CCFC - a man with Mike Ashleys fortune does not buy a stadium in Sky Blue without wanting the team to grace it as well. It is now down to SISU to get the fuck out of here as useless cunts on a failed venture and hopefully we will be able to get some funding for once get us back to the topflight i enjoyed for 25 years -

If Ashley has a footballing brain on him aswell as business, then he should be looking to buy us and the stadium.

Last season proved we were a small investment away from the play offs. A slightly bigger squad and we could have done it.

SISU won't gamble £5/10 million, but Ashley would. Hopefully he also sees what Robins has done with next to no resources and keeps him in place.

The club has £20 million debt and no assets

I’m still waiting for the bizarre logic Ashley has to pay £35m for the lease. He doesn’t

In next weeks exciting episode;

Ccfc increase its wage bill to £4 million
Seppala is prepared to sell for £55 million - a queue forms round the stadium
A 7 foot 5 striker is found in wildest Borneo and ccfc send Andy thorn to scout the emerging talent

A lot of your thought processes and arguments are quite good when it comes to our current plight.

Your current weakness is that you are sponsoring osb58's numbers to front said arguments, and it's showing.

The bloke has got numerous things wrong, not least what was going to happen to his beloved Wasps.

I wonder what mark robins is worth in terms of funding? Could a figure even be put on it?
Got to be 8 figures surely

He just needs proper support to improve the squad and not looking over his shoulder wondering who might leave and the classic sisu tactic of late sales leaving little time to replace and the well used tactic of not paying your tax and being placed in a transfer embargo.

We aren't massively away from being serious contenders for a play off spot, bring in a new back line and keeper, then bolster the attacking options and we're pritty much there. Maybe 10 - 15 million investment in the squad. I'd have thought Gyokeres will be sold in the summer whatever happens, so we'll have a decent chunk to reinvest there as well. It's a real shame sisu aren't interested in progressing us as like I say, I don't think we're far away at all.

We don’t need £10/15 million, I’m sure MR has a hit list of unregistered and/or quality loans, yes it would be nice and unusual if we could spend £10/15 million on players mid term but can’t see it.

That's not what I wrote, Fadz is an old man so needs replacing, the rest are either not good enough or we don't own, so the defence needs an overhaul if we get a new billionaire owner or not, then in the forward positions, once you get past the starters , we're not good enough, hence the bolstering of the forward positions, Gyokeres will most likely be off in the summer, so you can effectively have a roll of the dice in January and come summer, you can cash in Gyokeres and be evens.

To replace a back line that has had nine clean sheets in the last eleven games, makes sense that

I think you're misremembering - his analysis has always been even handed when it comes to Wasps (remember often it was in response to posters stating a belief that Wasps were due to imminently go into administration)

And what happens when Panzo and Doyle leave in the summer? Fact is, at the end of the season we're left we fadz and rose as the only first team centre backs.

Not sure that's what he's saying.
Fadz is getting on and Panzo and Doyle are loanees.
I think are defensive loanees have been decent last few seasons but it would be nice to have a full defensive roster actually on the books.

What your saying is we need more strength in depth.
Thanks for that Sherlock.

Interesting to consider who would be first choice, if Doyle is well I can see him coming in

My first choice would be rose fadz panzo but wouldn’t be surprised if people thought differently

Would be mine too, especially after the Watford match but Doyle is good too, left midfield option at times perhaps and I thought he had a good game against Blackburn in the McFadz position.

Play Rose centre back, with two players called Thorn either side. Newspaper's dream.
