Also (added as an edit), why would you want them out? The only mistake SISU made was running out of money (many did during the recession!) - Ranson made all the decisions on the football side of things.

The thing is though, SISU are made up of investors so why do they need external investment? It just seems like they want to get some money off other people to spend / keep to cover their losses.
They don't seem to grasp that to make money we need to own the ground / we need promotion. Didn't they come out and say that investment could happen depending on how we do on the field?

the fact that they don't want to use their own money (or rather that of their various funds) would surely set off alarm bells to anyone considering putting money in. I would love to see how they pitch investing in CCFC. "we're losing £6m a year, have no assets and don't want to put any of our money in" wouldn't really sell it to me!

I would disagree with you here: Ranson certainly didn't vote to sell Scott Dann, Danny Fox and Conor Thomas. SISU simply lacked the bottle to follow their original business plan, and we now predictably find ourselves in dire straits.
What was YOUR view on MM, BR, GR. ?? They got hung by the city fans but this shower of shit have robbed the fans shares to a man and have brough the club to a stand still.
If you want to TAKE OVER a club or business and you promise to deliver then your fail. DO ONE!
GR, BE, MM, GH, JE are all to blame for this mess. They put the club in this position, we were fortunate that SISU took us over and have bankrolled us for the past 3 years. No doubt without them the likes of Dann and Westwood would have never graced the sky blue shirt.
I think they understand that well, they have the money to achieve both things but as it stands they've invested/spent/wasted £30m so far, and for what? And it's widely believed that purchasing the 50% option on the stadium wouldn't make us enough money to offset the cost of buying it for years (perhaps 10 or more).
It's taken £30m to get us in this shape, how much more do you think it'll cost for promotion (and that is never guaranteed) - if it was my money I wouldn't risk it on football.
They GAVE over to Sisu because Sisu told them they would invest in the club and get us up.
Well yes, but I'd argue the managerial appointments have harmed us more than having to sell those players. If we had the right managers then I doubt we would have been finishing 17th every season.
People were slating that Thai guy on that TV show saying he was a crook, but he had the right idea to buy, get promoted and sell for profit.
The refusal to sign players like Henderson, Cork and Carroll beggars belief.
They were minutes from admin.
Utter bollox.
They were minutes from admin. SISU was a better deal for GR et al then admin because admin would have sorted out the debt with the bank first and the board second.
In fact GR tried to take over again (hidden in another consortium) to try and save his money, money he had loaned to us whilst charging interest at a time we were £60m in debt - debt ran up by him and his cronies!
This gets said a lot but is it actually true?
Yes. There was a deadline for 5pm set by the Football League - I think the deal went through around 4.45. If it was up to Robinson he'd still be in charge as we type trying to get his money back.
Is that not what SISU are doing now when it comes to GH?

Spot on, so why can you not add Sisu to that list??
No, because SISU can do what they like - it's their club. Our debt is 'in house', in other words we don't owe any outside companies.
The bank forced the football league's hand, they were demanding their money and CCFC couldn't provide it - it was similar to HMRC and Pompy last season.
