No one has forgotten but it is a new season. We have no alternative do we have to hope this time they get it right. Time to talk possible new signings and have a little bit of optimism.

Other than last season when the cost cutting measures were too extreme there really has been little difference in them to prior owners. The wasteful profligacy of the fletcher years was suicide and the hatchet McGinnity took to the squad and successive managers was hardly an example of excellent leadership. We have been sliding and without optimism for years. Perhaps this year may be a little different who knows?

People complain about mcginnity & I can understand their reasons.

Just remember though he took on a club with debts of £60m, introduced cost cutting measures and got that debt down by about £40m.

Sisu introduced far more severe cost cutting measures than mcginnity yet managed to reduce the debt by 0.

I didn't like mcginnity at the time, and its clear he knew nothing about football, but as a Businessman he could teach sisu a lot.

Which may explain his decision to bullet the only 2 decent managerial prospects we had in this league.

Valiant no one is saying this is problem solved but it is a step in the right direction. We will sign players and will compete well in this league.

The club's debts were settled by a loan from SISU which has ballooned since.

Strange how you are quick to criticise the chairman for working under restraints beyond his control and yet when the manager is criticised for the same then there is a very different response.

Sorry but McGinnity was appointed 16/03/94 when the CCFC Holdings Group had net assets at £1.3m he left 10/01/08 when the CCFC Holdings Group had net liabilities of £43m. Hardly a ringing endorsement.

Even the clueless one want need to hide in the cellar next season BSB. That eye for talent will allow him to sign 5 or 6 players of real talent that I am sure will mean a reasonable season ahead.

If we do make that many signings I think we will at least be mid table (top 6 if he goes).

The clever thing for the club to do would be to put up a summary of the 2011 accounts on their website together with a bit of commentary and details of the issues as to why it has taken so long. The accounts will be available at Co House soon anyway so will be public soon.

Actually communicate, explain, reach out to the fans .......... not holding my breath on that though
