No sorry mate, that really is it. I'm angry and adamant that they have totally hijacked the club for their own ends. They have turned us into a laughing stock, lied to us and loaded debt against the club at every opportunity. They have no affinity for the City or its football club and have shown utter disregard for the requirements of the fans. I know a dozen people alone who will shun this garbage and do other things now !

Not unexpected and i don't think it was unexpected by PKHIV and friends so their next move could be interesting. But lets be a bit positive this should lift the embago shackles off and allow Stephen Pressley to go ahead with his team building. It also allows Fisher as he said to announce who he intends to ground share with and then we the fans can really make a difference, making it clear to our would be landlords we ain't happy. We can also involve our landlords fans to get involved and protest to their directors.

That proffessor Beech was on the radio and stated it being just about 50/50 if the FL agree although he leaned towards they would. But there's another issue, the football club currently is a giant millstone round the sisu neck, has to be, costs and wages currently outstrip income massively, to get the FL agreement they have to put up a bond, a million i think and then there's the escrow account to put back. I have a feeling this is a long long way from being over. We the fans can play a big part now, don't buy season tickets, pay on the day that way sisu will find difficult to plan ahead secuity, policing etc. would love stewards to boycott matches now that would severly hit them as they would have to pay police for every game a massive drain on finances, don't buy merchandise, doesn't look like we have a new kit anyway. So feep cool and lets await the next episode.

Don't we need to file accounts before the embargo is lifted?

Embargo is due to accounts not being submitted, leaving admin in itself will not release embargo!!

Thank you Paul Appleton you corrupt bent as f*ck bald c*nt!! Thank you Football League for ratifying this bullsh*t decision...And most of all thank you SISU for destroying our club from the moment you 'saved' us all those years ago.

We deserve so much better than this. I know this was inevitable but deep down I hoped that the footballing gods would shine on us for once. No wonder that fat tosser was so smug at the forums.

I'm lost for words, not really sure what the future holds for us now. Extinction?

That's me done then, I want nothing to do with this football club until SISU do go. I just hope hope those fans who have said never again under SISU stick to their guns. Is there to be another football team set up?

I can imagine the 1st 'home' game being an almost total boycott...but, a few games in and assuming we're doing ok I think people will begin to miss spending their Saturday's watching the boys. The numbers may then begin to swell. I'm not talking 10,000 plus but maybe 4k at best. I for one am against buying my 15th consecutive season ticket and I am adamant that I won't be going to the bescot. I have nothing against those those that make the decision to travel, fair play to them. What are SISU expecting for a cold Tuesday night against Colchester @ the bescot?

I do think our away support will be pretty immense as always though.

The whole situation makes no sense from a SISU point of view, is there a twist to this?? I assume now PHIV is now on his private jet back to the States?

Uuuuuggghhh, haven't read all the previous posts, but personally I feel like I've had my heart and soul ripped out... I find the affinity I have with our club slowly being bleed out the longer sisu are in control. Honestly I couldn't support another club, but the club I'm supporting now isn't the club I grew up with.... What the hell is going on? Can the football league really agree sisu's the best owner of our team!?! If so, I have lost all hope..... Money and backhand favours seem to rule the industry in England, irregardless of the fans point of view... When are we actually ever listened too, look at Blackburn...... Ccfc I love u, but you have gone into hiding since sisu have emerged. I hope one day you show your beautiful face again.......

The trouble with Timmy is you have to try and read between the lies, oops sorry missed an N out there i meant lines. During the forums he said that the club was not for sale, that the time wasn't right and that they had to get limited out of admin. So reading between the lines and clutching at straws, i'm hoping that once ltd comes out of admin and the club is ready to take part in league one this season the time might be right to sell. That is probably just me clutching at straws but it makes as much sense to me as the plans for a new stadium. Won't be going while sisu or anyone associated are in control, but fair do's to those that do you have a stronger constitution than me.

I thought theyd take what ever they could get and run.
But No, they pumped in some more cash. How long can they sustain this constant loss without realising its never going to recoup the investment?

None of this makes any sense to me anymore, the club will not succeed without significant investment and the owners have never managed that.

Really disappointed in this decision, but unsurprised sadly.

I did discover that Joy Sepalalala is on a committee to do with company takeovers, could this have allowed some knowledge of the system to bring about a positive conclusion for SISU.
I imagine it is old news for you more frequent users of this forum, but here's a link:

Living in the Cotwolds my nearest team is Cheltenham Town - might go a watch them for a few seasons. Next nearest is Forest Green Rovers in the Conference. Got to be better than giving money to SISU

Well fortunately for my principles the words sisu and success don't go together so I will never have to deal with the dilemma you have presented.

Quite possibly, you realise how long thats going to be though if we are playing in walsall for 3 years minimum? There is at least 1, perhaps 2 relegations to come before any chance of success if we are moved.

When you get bored of interrogating other fans, I'd be interested in knowing what you're plans are...

What some don't understand is it's NOT the highest bidder but the one who Administrator says wins. Who is to say SISU bid a fiver but still kept control?
We could still be owing them fucking £70m. ffs!:jerkit:

Maybe SISU are trying to extract a high sale price from a genuinely. Interested purchaser. They seem to be in position to do so. Otherwise they are committing themselves to more years of sustained losses in addition to those they have already incurred.

I'm spoilt for choice with Dundee, Dundee Utd, St Johnstone, East Fife, Raith Rovers, Dunfermline, Hearts and of course the mighty Hibs all at most an hour away.
