Terry Gibson's perm

It's a pathetic outlook again though for fans who have been through the mill again since November. A whole mish mash of player changes, more of the same old bollocks rolled out from Joy to sell ST's, this Anderson is just another highly paid puppet stuck out front like all the others...........and in the meantime our illustrious owners prepare more court action.

The opinion on Anderson seems to be sinking faster than our league position, my view is he has done nothing of any note since he has been here, I would love to know how he fills his day.

I still think a part of their strategy is to hoping to get a billionaire to buy the club for £20m. Highly unlikely to happen but I'm sure its discussed as potential outcomes to rid themselves of this loss making investment. More likely is another couple of years of court c ases apeals etc..and whilst that won't justify poor relative performances considering the budget it helps explain the negative feel about the club despite there being a better season than expected.

must be running out of billionaires who want football clubs though.

not a decision that is close SBK because even if they lose this current round of court cases that wont be the end of it in my opinion.

so it is not clear what they will do but i would think the last thing they would do is to liquidate

When is the next decisive court case OSB in terms of a decision that could have a major impact on this whole mess?

I don't think so, what have they done that suggests they're priming the club to be taken over by a billionaire?

They have seen Leicester are top of the league and suddenly got the idea it would happen like the rest of our fans seem to!

The biggest (or only) asset the club has at the moment is fans, and as the average gate is around 11k you can see that asset isn't really worth investing in. SISU's actions leave very little goodwill towards the club (under their stewardship) in the local area from potential sponsors, the local authority or some might say parts of the local media. An incoming tycoon won't see that as changing overnight if the club was taken over.

I don't think they are priming the club to be taken over by a billionaire but its a remote outcome that might lead to them getting some of their money back. In order to prime us for such a sale it would require some investment and forward thinking which isn't their modus operandi. Cash neutral & court cases for the foorseeable future.

Next season we start again from square one.
It's all about the players and we don't know who most of them will be.
Click to expand...

I think we know who are goalie is RCC
We could know who our CB's are although we need more. Martin Ricketts
RB - Willis
We could know who our CM's will be
Although we need more Vlad and Vince
We know who one winger will be Jones

So we need strikers, midfielders and defenders.

I think most teams will need to do the same. The only real concern for us is getting two strikers who can do the business.

I have been really impressed in MV and TM's ability to get these young performing players on loan.

Unfortunately that will be the rolling dice for next season can they do it again with the loanees. If they do can they then supplement this with good permanent signings.

I felt Vince was a good signing
Rose will be, many will disagree but I though Rickets was a good signing.

we have the same manager going into next season.

I know where OSB is coming from though. Our aim is the championship but SISU want the club to pay for itself. So if we get there my concern is it is going to painful

It doesn't recoup them any cash. But it means they can hold on to the club indefinitely without putting more money in hoping something happens like someone making them a silly offer.

Or is it somehow linked to the court activity?
