SISU open a potential can of worms (4 Viewers)

Desperately trying to back it up at the moment to be honest!! :facepalm:

It really isn't like me to do something like that, make a statement without any evidence!! I'll get back to you. I'm sure I read that when Onye was taken off the CCFC board they put him in charge of an entertainment complex but I'm struggling to find it!!

They do, however, are responsible for managing the shares and have shares in other successful companies... It just so happens that CCFC are the highest profile.

Honestly, I feel like a dick right now!! I'll feel like an even bigger one if I don't find anything!!

But they do have other ventures that are successful. Possibly with more of a similarity to The Ricoh than a football club.

SISU have recruited wrong and made appauling descisions, but they no nothing about running a football club. They do, however, know a lot about running other businesses and I believe they have quite a few complexes with conference/function/entertainment facilities without a massive green thing in the middle on their books.

Nonsense.

SISU's only other business is in administering a hedge fund which invests in businesses. As for the running of those businesses, they sometimes get to appoint a director who is usually one of the loser types we have seen coming and going at CCFC.

Despite the fact you've skipped past my following posts, do you not think that they would do that at ACL?

Also, by saying that any success at running a company is not credited to them, just who they appoint, can the same not be said, then, for them not being to blame for the mess we're currently in - just those they have appointed?

Mmmm... maybe this was why Cumingham & Robinson were so cold towards Ainsworths actions.. well maybe not, just a thought.

It also explains why a lot of the SISU supporters on this site keep on harking about a council bail out.

If this might have a widespread impact I can see the government making moves to change the rules, but they'll need a lot of support in Europe, I guess the Spanish & Dutch will side with them... and reaction maybe tooooo slooooow

4,381 square feet at £56 per square foot = £245,336 per annum.

They are quite happily paying £250k per year for this, but clearly don't believe the Ricoh is worth as much!

CCFC is very different from their main business in that they do have 100% control and 100% responsibility.

Also, can you name any succesful investments in the last 5 years?
