Listening to Thursday's forum, and attending last nights(Friday)- I didn't get to ask the question about the Brentford model that Mr Fisher quoted.
I recognise that the football model and the business model are not mutually exclusive and so am very quizzical to hear more on the "Brentford" plan and what it means for the aspirations of the club. If SISU plan to build another stadium for the quoted £30-£35million I wouldn't expect that stadium to be anything other than a modest affair- probably 15000+/- capacity tops- which in turn surely limits CCFC forever to be at best a Championship club rather than as we all hope back into the Premier league- by default then SISU do not seek to realise the potential of the city-only to accrue some form of return, as Mr Fisher said last evening making the club 'attractive to purchase' seems to be a fundamental objective of the plan to move away from the Ricoh.
I had hoped like us all I am sure that CCFC could become a Norwich, Swansea, Southampton or Cardiff.. rising from obscurity of the lower leagues to the heady heights of the Premier League...but SISU's lack of vision and sheer bloody mindedness now seems to forever limit our potential outlined by the "Brentford" plan.. and whilst I think accountability for the present situation in part lies at the other parties door.. for the limiting nature of their vision I hold SISU as primarily culpable, and for that I cannot forgive them.
