Agreed. There will be fingers pointed at Wasps and anyone else , but you and I and everyone else know the score.

Both are employed by Otium I would assume.Who employed Robins?
Who employed Boddy?
It all seems to of coincided with David Boddy coming in, I think he's pulling a lot of the strings and making the offers etc. It's also a bonus because (touch wood) it means that we haven't heard from a certain wet fish(er) this season!We all have our own views on SISU and I'd much rather not have them here as they are toxic. They've ruined an already declining club even further and some issues probably cant be fixed until they leave ... however ...
... does anyone else think they've turned a bit of corner? Is the damage irreparable or with time and positivity on the pitch do you think it conceivable that without any billionaire Russian on the horizon, we could work better with them?
I think they believed it could be made profitable by asset stripping as hedge funds do with business, but finally the penny might have dropped in terms of investment to halt the decline and we're now seeing more sensible offers (eg the recent £45/£75 tickets) to attract people back when the club need us most.
I'd like to think it's not result orientated and that we fans are considered customers who should be looked after, but is there any longevity in their plan or is it short term considered purely for cashing in? Perhaps they've realised that more fans helps the team and promotions = an upturn in revenue? Is it just the current personnel is better than at previous times or savvy business decisions? I wonder if the massive drop in revenue to L2 was not planned for and now accept they needed to address.
I even like that we have to use our academy kids perhaps before they're completely ready and more forgiving of them because of that (unlike the dickhead behind me on Saturday constantly abusing Shippers). I hope it's a change and things are quieter when we're doing well as most of us just want to see the team win, but if we don't go up and we lose some of that showcased potential, then what do you think will happen next season?
You think the likes of Hunt, Henderson etc would be his first choice to get us over the line?The mowbray backing thing is a myth, he brought in plenty. Just not very good.
And the rest.You think the likes of Hunt, Henderson etc would be his first choice to get us over the line?
Maybe he felt like he needed to strengthen several positions so they were the best he could get in the positions required.And the rest.
Why not go for the quality over quantity?
No probebly the only ones he could get.Maybe he felt like he needed to strengthen several positions so they were the best he could get in the positions required.
You never know, they may just decide to back Robins because after all the managers they have appointed Robins is the only one to actually give them a return with the Checkatrade trophy and possible promotion this yearNot a chance mate. We seen what happened when Mowbray needed backing in January. I’m afraid this will happen time and time again with them in charge. They don’t speculate to accumulate.
I don't think he is, Tommy. He doesn't seem to be listed on the FCA site.

Absolutely, the hedge fund themselves give not a jot for CCFC as long as they don't have to reveal their losses to the market place. We will forever be hamstrung whilst they are in situ and competing no higher than League 1 !I don't even know how the OP is a question.
They're still utterly useless, inept, and out for themselves rather than the club. Always have been, always will be.
Good brave post.
In short we all would like to think so.
Less overly reliant on loans like previous sessons is certainly an improvement (medium term) loans don't work unless as only 1 in 50 turn out to be gem like Adam Armstrong.
Transfer policy who ever it is. Is ultimately paid for Sisu.
Doeasnt help when half our fans don't turn up to home matches.
If we win promotion this year. It will still go down as one of our best periods in our history with 2 visits through Wembley finals. Even though it's from a shitty level.
Honestly yes I think it has improved. Been pleasantly surprised with the business done last year. And no fire sales.
Good! People have short memories.Wait till we fail to make the play offs in a couple of weeks. The SISU protests will be back..
Otium aint it?
In my eyes the two main things Sisu as opposed to CCFC are responsible for are getting us somewhere to play and stopping the stupid legals. On both fronts they are no different.
Lots of credit to the likes of Boddy and others who’s names I don’t know at the club to make a pretty good silk purse from a sow’s ear.

Yep, my daughters rarely went back and then lost interest after that Northampton travesty.No. They took the last season my Grandad would’ve had as a season ticket holder away from him. After 3 quarters of a century of support they moved his club 34 miles and killed off the passion he had for it. After the club returned he went to a couple of games but that was it. He didn’t want to go any more. I can never forgive them for that. The worst thing about what I’ve written is I can almost guarantee others on this forum can tell a similar story about their Grandad, Uncle, Dad, Brother, cousin or friend.

In a word no
tempted to leave as that....... but I am curious to know what it is thought that they are doing better?
They don't talk
Love that, very clever.Because we've been downsized so much that it's almost impossible to not achieve relative success. It's the equivalent of drowning in the bath and then thinking you've learned to swim when in reality all the water has drained out.
Unfortunatey to get most of the things you want these cunts need to get out of our Club.My dad's the same and I started the thread, but this isn't about the history, we all know that and it's been done to death and it's how we move forward. They've not killed anyone or committed any crime, I bet most who are angry supported Marlon or other criminals who have played for us, but given the opportunity of redemption.
I feel like I'm supporting SISU here and that's certainly not the intention I was one of the strongest voices, refused to go to Northampton and still not forgiven many things, but I want to see a fuller Ricoh, I want promotion, I want success and I'm fed up of 'fighting' them. It's clear they'll only go on their terms if the past 10 years hasn't moved them on, so if it needs a line in the sand then we have to back it too - if the IRA and DUP managed to form a truce then surely there's some common ground we can find. Doesn't mean we have to like each other but for the good of future of the club.
No Nick, they were on short term contracts due to budget restriction and therefore the dregs.The mowbray backing thing is a myth, he brought in plenty. Just not very good.
And no whistles!!Ideal place to do it. More visibility and bad publicity for SISU.
But perhaps avoid chanting out during the game and stick to signs.
He is not. These are his directors appointments. On a public websiteLike Fisher, who is a director of Sisu...
No Nick, they were on short term contracts due to budget restriction and therefore the dregs.
He was not backed, financial implications for future years were not permitted so his choice was very poor.
