"Transparency to our incredibly loyal supporters is always at the forefront of our communications.”


This is what the CT quoted Mr Fisher as saying yesterday

Now you could define transparency as -

Transparency, as used in science, engineering, business, the humanities and in a social context more generally, implies openness, communication, and accountability. Transparency is operating in such a way that it is easy for others to see what actions are performed

I think thats a reasonable definition dont you ?

So come on TF please enlighten me how the Board or owners think they meet this criteria?

have you matched them in the following areas
1) player dealings - seems to me that we say one thing then something else happens, well actually doesnt happen because we signed no one
2) Finances - being put in order we are told but we find out (not told) that accounts not filed, we dont have an agreed budget and now cant meet the rent.
3) Supporters - we are loyal and valued - well yes loyal would have to be to put up with all the rubbish but valued? see little evidence of that (season tickets up, little information, not included, man handled in the stadium etc)
4) Responsibility - well no one at the club seems to take much responsibility - it is always someone elses fault
5) Investor/owner discussions - do we know whats going on ? do we know what SISU's objectives are?
6) Ownership - well thats as clear as mud, who are the investors in Sconset Capital that own us
7) Discussions with ACL, Council, Charity - on going apparently and regular, not what some of us here have heard

Sure there are other areas feel free to add them

But one thing is certain there is precious little "Transparency" towards the fans (otherwise known as customers, clients, finance providers), not sure opaque would even cover it.

as they say "you are having a laugh" TF - we arent :mad:

Cost cutting is a necessary process for a Club like ours. If they had given us that little bit of 'transparency' (presumably corporate speak for "not completely bullshitting your own fans"), I would imagine a large proportion of fans would have found the lack of replacements for important players and cuts to the wage bill far more acceptable. I know I would. There would be disatisfaction with our lowly league position, but at least we wouldn't feel like we had been mugged off. I think SISU have made errors ever since their arrival, but none bigger than this lack of transparency. And, as the feelings of the fans were made clear to them about the matter, they have since mentioned how paramount this process is to them on more than one occasion. Not that talk is cheap.

PS - I didn't read more at your link, because I suspect I have heard it all before and it counts for nought.

Think he meant opaque.

Lots of people get them confused.

Can't see a bloody thing through the opaque windows my missus ordered.

That's a well presented post OSB.
I was thinking very similar myself but just couldn't raise the energy to bother commenting on this poorly managed lot.
I some times wonder what planet some of them are on and they think we are on?

The Annoying Orange didn't get the new look board off to a flyer when he lied about talks being held with the council over the Ricoh stake-every press release since then has either been patronising or dishonest. Fisher himself seems to pride himself on these Goebbels-esque statements that insult the intelligence of the majority of CCFC supporters; 'The enemy's a few hundred metres from the bunker but we're still gonna win' type remarks do him no favours. As with all inherently corrupt or badly organised organisations, you learn a lot from their demises-so when SISU leave, or CCFC go to pot, that is when we will learn the most.

Thanks OSB. I said yesterday that I simply couldn't believe that gem of a quote from Mr Fishy wasn't attracting more attention. Thanks for making sure it gets noticed a bit more!

As for SISU's transparency..well, I see right through it :p :claping hands: :p

He makes David Brent look a model professional.

Only if it was a Gervais character OSB was going for, he'd have signed off with the Extra's catchphrase "You're 'avin a laff!" rather than his grammatically correct version.

He's got a pilot on Ch4 tonight, might cheer some of us up ;)


EDIT: Ricky Gervais..not OSB.

Me too. Their main weapon is fan apathy. Fan apathy and heavy handed security...so they have two main weapons: fan apathy, heavy handed security...and deliberately incompetent and confusing board members! So wait, they have three main weapons: fan apathy, heavy handed security, deliberately incompetent and confusing board members...and blackmail!...they have four main weapons...

ETC repeat ad infinitum.

I've told you once

No you haven't

Yes I have....

I'm sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?


**************$**************

Does this mean that CCFC is the new dead parrot?

Has it ceased to be?

Or just fu**ing snuffed it?

Python couldn't script the goings on at our club right now.....

my own thoughts as far as pythonesque sketches are concerned is the 'cheese shop sketch',
to me this perfectly shows sisu as exactly what they are,
i do not posses the technical expertise to show it as a link, but,
surely someone who can,
please do the link
