So without investment what's their strategy for incremental improvement?

This is what’s frustrating. It isn’t pressed - what’s the plan? How are we to achieve our aims. The supporters forum appear to have gone “oh-ok then, we’ll move on”

what do SISU want to do? Ultimately we’ll get relegated with this model because it’s relying Robins working miracles.

Fucked up every Club hes been at.
Ether doesn't have a clue what he's doing or is out of his depth.

Genuine question. How has Boddy "fucked up" CCFC?

Disclaimer, I'm not defending him. Just interested to know, what decisions he's made that have "fucked" us up?

Wait, one minute DB is a SISU Puppet who is just doing as he's told but now he's complicit for everything and anything?

"Yeah but Worcester"

The piece about Hyam transfer where DB said that Blackburn's statement did not say that a lower offer was taken. If you were told a player was not for sale in July and the SELLING club came back just before the deadline and said were interested in selling now. You would smell an air of desperation about things and would offer less just to see how desperate they were.

It’s obvious that DB and his generals have no qualms about:

A. Spinning every issue to buggery, even though it doesn’t add up, ultimately.
B. Insulting the intelligence of a particularly patient, albeit expectant (and rightly so) fan base.

The question is, do we expect anything different?
All we can earnestly hope for is the day to come soon, when the SISU circus packs it’s bags and leaves town for good. Hopefully, there’ll still be a salvageable CCFC at that juncture.

Until then, the present worry is getting through this season without being relegated by New Year.
MR, AV and his coaching staff are going to have to dig extremely deeply, and get every morsel out of these players. If they still have the heart to do so.

Hopefully, they will. And from there? Well, who knows. PUSB.

Thanks Pete. A lot of contradiction from Boddy and it's a shame most of the important stuff won't be disclosed. Unfortunately, these meetings just seem to be box ticking exercises to show the EFL they are engaging, but thanks for your commitment at least you are trying and it does show the fans are aware of problems - even if they are fobbed off.

How come the Trust didn't send someone? Did it clash with a Wasps/CCC jolly?

There is no strategy is there?
Boddy needs to be pressed on this at the next meeting.

And put to bed the ridiculous notion that if we need to sell a player every year just to manage running costs that SISU are then going to paradoxically pull 25/30 million pound out of their arse to build a new stadium!

DB explained that access to the stadium was not possible due to the Commonwealth Games (CWG) Security Protocols. SS confirmed that access was not possible unless accredited during this time.

It wasn’t possible for CCFC to just wander in to watch a game/check the pitch.

I mean, fucking hell. I'm not surprised you can't just wander into the stadium, that's such a stupid comment to make. "Access was not possible unless accredited"....get accredited then!

Thanks for your effort Pete, it is much appreciated.

Its not your fault Boddy is either a shame faced liar, a buffoon, and out of his depth.... and in reality all three.

If Wasp won't pay for pitch repais for which the club has paid for or give us a rent reduction could the club then not force administration on them along with other companies owed?

Question - am curious as to why an algorithm is necessary to reverse a fixture ? Security or police issues even stadium availability but a mathematical equation?

Isn't the key to integrity of the competition getting a fixture played ?

Not one that the club would be in control of. Also ccfc would be an ordinary unsecured creditor and rank well down the list

I think people are missing the point that administration is primarily a process to save or restructure a company not to liquidate it.

It's a surprisingly complex system. They use sequencing to avoid teams playing a run of home games or away games to ensure its fair/consistent across the board. Reversing fixtures would obviously screw that up.

It could be that with the changes to the season the EFL weren't going to cooperate with any requests to keep things as simple as possible ,it could be they've had enough of making exceptions for us when a condition of entry to the competition is primacy or it could be that we didn't really push that hard.

Sure there's plenty of other possibilities and we'll never really know. of course even if they had reversed the first few league fixtures that wouldn't have solved the issue with the cup game.

Only thing I would say is that cup game apart it is screwed up anyway by how they have "solved" it.

But agree with CD we will never really know
