OK so we know that SISU are pumping in cash to prop up their own investment for the medium term at least - which they have made clear.
So instead of all the continuing panic perhaps we should look at the immediate plans...
Investors will be a key search during the coming summer and beyond but that will be a complicated matter involving the only way forward for both the City and the football club - namely to include the Arena. That will also not happen until after the 2012 events at least so SISU will clearly be here until at least then.
They may even remain stake holders with additional investment...who can say at this early stage.
Now we must all concentrate on what matters for the playing side which is after all what a football club is all about.
I will stab in the dark and suggest SISU (and perhaps with some other other initial investors) will have in mind a budget for the way forward in this shorter medium term. That suggest perhaps £2m for new players and contracts as a minimum requirement.
Now here is the big questions:
Given £2m what are we to do with the squad we have? and who should we be interested in getting in to strengthen? Who should be offered new contracts and who should be released?
Finally who should be the manager entrusted with this delicate task and ensuring we have a reasonably bright season ahead while those protracted investment/stadium negotiations take place?
