Sisu you are a disgrace... (29 Viewers)

[AFCCOVENTRY]

Fecking disgrace you didn't submit our accounts on time.

Bristol City have signed 2 new players today
Pompey have signed some new players

It would not have cost us much money in getting 1 or 2 fresh players for this last push.

You continue to hamper the team and manager in every way possible.

Fecking disgrace you lot.

I will concentrate on supporting the team till the death either way but our battle with you will continue once our fate is known.

I'll be back... :jerkit:

Bristol have actually signed 3.

God help them? The majority of city fans these days seem to be happy clappy types who are prepared to sit back and take league 1 on the chin. Nothing will happen if were at home,to many spineless fans.

 

[AFCCOVENTRY]

I don't want to get into a whole sisu debate... but the fact we can't sign anyone right now for 9 games while everyone around us can could make a difference to us surviving.

Bristol City will now have fresh legs in their team against us now. So will Pompey.

Shambles really.

 

[torchomatic]

Why are 99% of your posts concerned with attacking your fellow fans? I'm genuinely interested.

Pompy are making a laughing stock of the system, they have a shortage of players so the football league instead of making them play their youngsters they allow them to bring in youngsters on loan.

 

[Delboycov]

Totally agree..whilst our rivals are signing players for the final push we're offloading-no matter what people think of Eastwood we need bodies for the most important run of games in nearly 50 years. There seems to be a growing band of fans that think they're doing a good job...I personally believe they're not-running the club into the ground and making AT's job almost impossible are not grounds for congratulations. FFP rules are a smokescreen for their failure which the most gullible amongst us are happy to accept without question. The brushing off of the current embargo and the reasons for it by some on here make excuses for the fact they have fecked up.

Sisu dont give a feck about the playing side of ccfc

 

[Colonel Mustard]

One of the reasons we have such little money is because we have no stadium. We have no stadium because of Richardson's irresponsible handling of the finances, driving us deeply into debt.

Exactly how much longer are we going to keep chasing our tails on this subject? Pompey may have signed new players, but they are never a team we should aspire to model.

Abso-bloody-lutely.

[skybluegod]

they've signed players but none of them are very good IMO there not playing for there teams the man city youngsters fair play to Pompey but bristol have signed to players which cant get into other championship sides so they cant be that good.

As our owners, there is no excuse for them not even bothering to compete to save our status in this league. That is if they truly see themselves as our long-term owners. It's glaringly obvious that they lost interest in the club as an investment a long-time ago.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Portsmouth have made a complete farce of the League with their activities over the past few months. Appleton will be demanding a knighthood before we know it.

 

[thorn in my side]

Give it a rest. I would prefer the club was run within its means than needlessly incurring debt. If we have no budget left for loans then we have no budget - and aren't we still under a transfer embargo or have I missed something?

 

[ccfctommy]

Im really not that fussed that other teams have signed players. We have a small squad but the team is unbeaten in four, i honestly think new additions this late in the season will imbalance and de-stableize the team.

There is an excuse: "we have no money"

It's glaringly obvious that they lost interest in the club as an investment a long-time ago.

If that was the case, they would have cut their losses and sold to Hoffman for a quid.

 

[WillieStanley]

Accounts or no accounts, embargo or no embargo... WE'RE SKINT!!!

SISU knew we didn't own the stadium when they took over and they started with pretty much a clean slate. How long are we going to be blaming the 'sins of the father'? We're getting on for nearly 5 years under this regime and this continual blaming of the grave mistakes of the past is akin to those political party supporters who defend those making a mess of the country because of the previous incumbents...I believe that excuse has expired after this amount of time.

 

[Otis]

My understanding too was that an embargo meant no players in or out!

I think the point being made is that we are under a transfer embargo and whether it's SISU or Fisher or whoever someone has fecked up in what is the most crucial period for the club for generations.

 

[edgy]

The "we're skint" argument doesn't apply in this debate. Portsmouth aren't paying a penny for any of their current loans. Had we not been under an embargo, we could've got more bodies in.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

For a long, long time. It is easy to run a business into the ground, easy to spend money; it's not so easy to rebuild, though. The sins of this particular father were profound and have long-lasting consequences.

And let's not pretend that it was a sellers' market back in 2007. By all accounts, SISU were the only game in town. SISU is what you get with these sins, a lack of money to spend is what you get with these sins.

We're getting on for nearly 5 years under this regime and this continual blaming of the grave mistakes of the past is akin to those political party supporters who defend those making a mess of the country because of the previous incumbents...I believe that excuse has expired after this amount of time.

There is a huge difference. The coalition, rightly or wrongly, are using that line as a political shield to carry out their policies, in much the same way as Blair battered the Tories when Labour returned to power in '97.

But this situation at CCFC is not politics and it's not spin. Exactly how would you go about restoring our past glories? Which private enterprise out there will buy us the Ricoh? Who out there has money to burn in their pockets? Who wishes to buy the club? As I said, it's easy to destroy, but not easy to rebuild. Richardson deserves to be quoted for an eternity, both to lend some context to SISU's tenure, but also as a warning from history when we do get back on our feet.

Look at the players they've had to ship out, though. They have a threadbare squad.

 

[rob9872]

I know that we're skint and despite wanting us to live within our means being one of the few things SISU have right, I too still want them out. However, surely a couple of short term quality loans at this time of the season doesn't just make good footballing sense, but good business sense too? I don't see a short time roll of the dice as much of a gamble in the scheme of things with the position we're in and the rewards for staying up as opposed to going down, not only versus the reduced level of income but to make the sale a more attractive proposition is surely value for the risk/reward.

 

[rob9872]

Mine too, but oddly the deal is until June so I wounder if we have mutually cancelled his contract and paid him off. This would free him up for a short term deal as his contract is up at the end of June here. It will get him games and put him in the shop window for a saving against his wages.

 

[edgy]

Don't really care. They have a youth team squad and should be made to use it. Do you think it fair, that a club in a royal mess & in administration like Portsmouth, is allowed to sign players (free or not) and club like CCFC, who are trying to meet these FFP rules, are not?

It's a complete nonsense.

 

[sky blue zam]

Its just a shame even pompey have more cash than us. They own their own ground so will be making some sort of income....... SISU OUT

I don't. I've long said that the problem is less to do with penny-pinching at clubs like ours, and more to do with a lack of regulation for clubs who act recklessly with their finances. It is simply an unfair system. What I am arguing, in the context of this thread, is that we should stay the side of frugality rather than play that dangerous casino game (again); and frankly, while we have no collateral and so few fans, we don't have much of a choice.

 

[ccfcdan]

Theres no denying our owners are shitting on us. However its time to forget about them now and get behind the people that really matter, the players on the pitch. We can turn our efforts to Sisu once the fight is over! PUSB

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Denied. You could make a much stronger argument that the people of Coventry are shitting on SISU - by refusing to turn up in large enough numbers to break even, the population is forcing SISU to bankroll the club from their own pockets.

The people of Coventry have a choice wether to come and support there club or not. The owners of the club should support the club as they choose to purchase it. Quite simple really isnt it.

 

[Covstu]

Agree dan, makes perfect sense

 

[Colonel Mustard]

The owners do support the club - at last count they were tens of millions of pounds in the hole. The only issue is whether they should "support" it more...which brings into play the fan factor.

If you get small crowds, you have to be run as a small team (unless you have a sugar daddy). To infer otherwise is to basically argue that the fans of Macclesfield should hold a grudge against their owners for not spending millions of pounds.
