If they told you the truth though, would you believe it?! I'd struggle to trust anything that's said.
No maybe not, but just think we deserve to be told something............even if we dont like it.

Honesty would have been better all along. Even at the beginning of last season I think some openness about the fact we are in financial strife, need to rely on youth players etc. would have worked better than the Iron Curtain of secrecy that came down.
The truth should now be the best bet for SISU, you would think.
We might understand some of the tough decisions SISU have had to make
That is unless there is something more to why we are not seeing the books.
An example of things that could be of concern would be giving the fans and possibly the management the impression that there would be signings. Yet maybe when you actualy see the books you instantly realise this was never going to be an option?
Obviously this is just myself trying to think of reasons why they would not be transparent with us when they promised they would be.
You are right we dont demand much. All we are aksing for at the moment is some free transfers or loanees. I dont think that is a massive ask for a team in league one who will probably get 12-14 thousand fans and had already sold over 5000 season tickets. .
The thing is, that anybody reading this forum have known the truth about the financial situation all along.
Not from club or owner statements, but from our own financial detective aka OSB.
Saying that the club should have been open and straight about the situation is easy, but if they had done that all sorts of problems could occour to worsen the situation: Suppliers could seize trading with the club or demand money up front. Players would be adviced by their agents to get out fast. Potential signings would never even consider a move here. Clubs wouldn't loan us players. Any bid for our own players would be cut to bargain price. The staff at the club would seriously begin to look for another job elsewhere.
The list goes on.
It would have been suicide to tell the world we're broke and live from day-to-day as our investors won't put in more money.
After all this time - I still can't get my mind around the fact that SISU where activly looking to get into football - firstly through Man City then Southampton.
For a hedge fund to get involved they surley had to do their homework, that is how they make their money!!!! and surley their findings would have told them that there is no instant return in footall.
So for a simpleton will someone tell me why they bought us?
You say all sorts of problems could occur yet it seems like you are describing what is happening.
If an agent is doing his job then they will obviously advise Cranie and Keogh to leave with the info we already know about the state of the club.
Potential signings are already signing for other clubs.
We hardly have had any loan players.
Players sold ie Turner sold for well below his true value.
Sounds like suicide is the only option left.
Yes, NOW everybody knows ... but it was not the case a year ago when the fans first called sisu for liars and demanded to know the truth.
Telling the truth a year ago would have been suicide.
You think all this is a big secret then !!??The thing is, that anybody reading this forum have known the truth about the financial situation all along.
