If they go there will be trouble, but if they stay it will be double! Has to be go. And yes OSB, it did take me under 2 seconds to think of The Clash

GO! Without a doubt. SISU have put no money into this club. They have lied from day one and never gave a shit about the fans. They have outstayed their welcome, plunged this club further into oblivion, neglected the needs of the fans and the club, not financially backed their managers, need i go on? They saved us when they came in, i will admit that, but since that day they have done nothing but fuck this club up. WE WANT SISU OUT! WE WANT SISU OUT!

Bit of a pointless thread to be blunt. No one wants SISU to stay, but, if no one is going to come in, then we're even more fucked if they leave. To answer the OP directly - go.

I'm not being funny, but this is BS.

Who paid for Dann, Fox (1m for both), Eastwood (1.25), Clingan (650k), Baker (250k), Best (600k), Gunnarsson (250k), Westwood (750k), Keogh (tribunal fee, I dont know what it is, I think 200k) Hendo, Cork (good loanees, wages etc to be paid), Cody (400k). That's all I can recall for now. Plus 20 players for this season + 500k investment for the academy to secure Class B status?

As well as off-field funding. Whilst having to pay 1.28m p/a in rent getting nothing from F&B revenues.

They've mismanaged the club, but have not put "no money into the club".

SBT - you are correct SISU have undoubtedly put money into the club, if they hadn't we would have gone under long ago. Exactly how much is open to conjecture and would need a team of forensic accountants to identify as the various companies, inter company loans, debt write offs etc mask what most of us would understand as "put money in".

You question the OP - as I understand it its simply in response to Mr Stuart Linnell MBE (hope that avoids any legal action against me) stating that the majority of Cov fans did not want SISU to go. Whilst this forum and this thread can hardly be considered scientific I assume the original idea was to test Mr Stuart Linnell MBE's claim.

I forgot Juke.

My post was a direct post replying to some who has said SISU have put NO money into the club which is simply untrue, no matter how anti-SISU you are.

It didn't require me to say how much we sold them for did it?

Actually yes, as without this it could be argued SISU got back more than they put in.
Wages to loanees cannot be counted as investments either, as we don't know how much the other club paid of their wages.
You can persist with the view that SISU have invested in the team if you wish but the evidence is thin.
It also contradicts the view that SISU have done well to cut costs and only the rent is holding us back. Agree this is a stupid line but many are peddling it.
BTW have you slept through the last month? You seem unaware we might not have a club next season and, if we do, it will spend even less on players than this season unless SISU sell

That was when Ray Ranson was in charge. He actually made sure we had money, unlike these pricks

most of them are vastly overexaggerated figures kid.

and dont forget about all the players that have been sold, sisu have prob had twice as much cash in, in transfer fees as they have paid out.

This season alone we have only paid peanuts for barton in terms of transfer fees and got plenty in from the sales of bigi and keogh, same last season, we signed cody for cash but had already had double that in for ben turner, then we sold juke.........

weve spent less in the last 2 years on players than we have in intrest payments to sisu in 1 year on the money they have "invested"

SISU OUT.

What figures are "vastly over-exaggerated"? Prove me wrong, because I'm pretty sure they're all correct. Only Baker and Keogh I'm unsure of.

This season? Are you saying we haven't done well in the market? Moussa, Leon, Fleck, Jennings, Adams, and some would argue, Edj (I personally disagree but hey) were all good quality free transfers. For synopsis, MK Dons haven't spent money on a player for 2-3 years. They are more than competitive in this league.

50% of Bigi money went on academy. The other 50% and Keogh probably went on balancing the books, because CCFC lost millions in revenues because of relegation, the vacuum needed to filled. We also have to bear FFP in mind to!!

Clubs like CCFC have to sell to survive, that's the brutal truth no one wants to accept, but it's still true. We sell players, and most of it will pay-off debts or strengthen off-field.

Or do expect we spend 20m in the summer!?
