At least that's confirmed.

Did he not say what his business was about?
Click to expand...

Not really.

Question from Eykyn: Do you want the job permanently :" I'd like it but its only fair that I'm re-assessed in January". Earlier, he mentioned that the club have NOT received a CV from Kevin Keegan yet

Just tuned in and heard Pete in the car, fuck sake.

I must catch the bad ones

Can somebody paraphrase the rest while I can't listen?

I did notice Venus refers to Mowbray as "the previous manager" sometimes.

Asked about sisu business model as Venus knows it he's said - he's not sure if it's ever going to happen but it's self sustainability and to break even and anything more goes back into football

That's the thing, people don't seem to grasp things. It is like we are in the Premier League or something.

The premise was that they're uncommitted, then Venus points out Armstrong and Murphy.

The caller is a good example of why people won't seem to grasp it. It is the issue we have here.

What does he think if fans take over would happen?

I think Venus has put himself in the firing line, first sign of trouble or bad form and the sisu stooge and puppet jibes will quickly follow.

People won't have it, they want millions put in.

Then if it doesn't work, they want them to just walk off without the money they are put in as if it was a gift.

Probably because we've lost first 10 games?

We had sisu first half of last year and had high attendances. Fans can be fickle like that

He did.

It is just that people ignore it then bang on about chucking loads of money in, then they will expect them to forget the money and walk away.

No it's declined since SISU arrived, and will continue to do so whilst they remain.

City fans last year had hope, something a whole generation hasn't had. Can you blame 'fans' for having optimism for the first time in decades?? I don't..

And since our November of being top of the league in the first time in decades, kindly remind everyone what SISU have done since then...

Yeah fickle bunch we are...

Not arguing with you.
However unless the FA/FL FIFA UEFA ect do something about it.
Then unless you are an Arsenal self sustainability when in Division 3 or 4 means that is where you will stay (if you are lucky)
Unfortunately the reality is any football club with ambition for promotion must expect to lose more than they earn initially anyway.

sorry, I am behind.

Just heard the answer. Self sufficient is great and fully understandable.

Wonder why they are banging on about a new stadium then, as clearly we would be losing money for years if we built one ?
