I appreciate you want hope, but we have to be realistic.

The club is in the position it's in because of bad management. Until that changes our large fan base cannot be utilised to its full potential.

I agree we're not going to do anything credible with sisu in charge - if if we did nearly make the championship last season. But they show no sign of selling. If they are happy for us to slip through the leagues as long as we're break even then what are we as fans supposed to do?

I don't know.

I can see the problem but not the solution.

Life support for a club that is being slowly killed by parasites. Genius.

They are investing, they are investing in their next court action.

The only hope we have is by trying to support the club. Maybe sisu will one day go bust and some owners come in. We have to do whatever we can to stop us being closed down.

Sisu bought the club on the idea of making a huge profit over a year or 2.
Since they realised football is not an easy way of making money, and they know fuck all about running a club, it's simply been an exercise in self preservation.
It's become obvious for many years , they want us supporters to fund any risks , while they plunder anything that's made.

they brought us believing they could fluke a promotion back to the prem,and then sell us on as a profit,but it just didn't happen,they never had a clue and still don't,before buying us,didn't they try to buy both Southampton and Man City

This season we SHOULD have had a budget bigger than 16 clubs.

Now I don't know what our budget is but:

If this season our budget wasn't the 8th highest, then that is down to poor management of the club over a number of years.

If this season we did have the 8th highest budget, then that would suggest appalling mismanagement in recruiting the correct players and coaches.

Either way it comes down to poor management. So how will that change?

You're comparing apples and pears.

The club can be mismanaged.

The fact it can afford professional players of a certain standard is because of the income it receives.

So why, when we were getting 20-22k gates in the Championship, didn't we keep hold of, and add to the quality of players we had then?

Comparing apples and pears?

I am comparing us against our competitors. The income CCFC receives is only relevant when used in comparison with other clubs.

'Benefit' is a relative term.
What you have to consider is; would the host be better off not having to fight parasitism?
It is true that the parasite requires the host to survive and in this case it is. So yes, parasite is an
apt term, I feel.
