i think we jumped at the sisu offer because there was no other offer of real substance, we had no strong board members who delved into sisus business profile or undertook any research or due diligence as they say, when sisu tried it at southampton at least 2 board members Leon Crouch and if memory serve me correct a Mr Trant recognised an asset stripping company under the name of a hedge fund company called sisu and also queried some of their past shady business dealings and voted against getting involved with them. What research did we do ? I feel like we let a fox in the hen house
Beggars can't be choosers. It's easy to forget that our suitors around that time were Jo Dhinsa and Alki David. Robinson even went public saying he'd be willing to talk to anyone. We reeked of desperation. I doubt that they'd have been so keen to force through a deal with SISU if there were any other offers on the table.
This is no hen house. No stadium, poor attendances. Interestingly, when we did have a stadium and better attendances and Premiership income, our esteemed owners conspired to lose that stadium and leave us £60m in debt, despite an ostensible transfer surplus. Hmmm.
