    SISU In or out?

    Sorry i just have to reply to that. Just a few facts MR appointed March 2017, as i understand it that was largely due to the Fisher connection that the appointment was made. Cannot argue that the appointment has not been brilliant for the club Since MR became manager SISU have, according to...

    SISU In or out?

    Very briefly The purpose of the interest charge is to show an element of annual return within the ARVO & SISU Master funds for the investors in those funds. It also enables sisu to take a slice of that annual income as management fees usually a percentage of the income. Whether the interest is...

    SISU In or out?

    Unless the interest gets repaid then the club debt continues to grow, the ability to break even profit wise gets harder, and has to affect the team. For instance greater pressure to sell star players to keep losses manageable.

    SISU In or out?

    Think you will find that in my posts in over the past 10 years or more I have been a strong advocate of all clubs living within their own means. That however includes owners putting money in if they choose to but not by creating repayable debt interest bearing or not. You do not have to load a...

    SISU In or out?

    Our owners have not changed their original objectives or their willingness to act in the same manner again. Their current stance it appears to me, is to do nothing, provide only funding of last resort and to rely on the manager & team over achieving. The only major thing to change in the last 5...

    Match Thread Northampton Town Match Thread

    The biggest thing i take away from last nights performance is the lack of depth in the squad. Not sure i could put a case forward for any of the starting 11 last night to be in the starting 11 for Saturday. Poor passing, even poorer defending, bad decision making, lack of intensity, no real...

    CBS Parking

    Was running late at work and booked a parking place online so i was close to stadium to save time and hassle free i thought. I will try other places in future - thanks for the Cherry Tree recommendation. There is some CCTV coverage but its not extensive and damage was done to the side of the...

    CBS Parking

    Word of warning about car park C Got back to car last night to find CITY scratched on my car and a flat rear tyre. Some so called city fan did that, it seems. Yes I do feel like giving them a slap. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:

    Masks at the Arena

    Covid: Bradford's Matthew Keenan dies despite changing mind on jabs The fewer people that feel the sadness this family has gone through the better. Personally I will be wearing my mask on the way in, on the concourse and on the way out. If i feel safe enough in the ground not to wear it then i...

    European championships 2020 thread

    I am proud of the team in what they did achieve, disappointed by what they didn't, the two are not mutually exclusive. It doesn't need me to get angry about it but i expect improvement of our national team to continue. Am i angry about coming so close and just missing out no. I didn't expect...

    European championships 2020 thread

    Proud of what England team achieved in many ways. Disappointed on the night, but on the nights performance Italy just shaded it. When the teams walked out some of our players looked a bit wide eyed, Italy somehow more relaxed and comfortable with the atmosphere We certainly sat too deep for...

    wont consider selling until they reach an acceptable level in terms of their debt - 2020 accounts show Otium owed £19m in capital & interest. If the interest is actually paid each year then less inclined to sell i would think especially if they are not required to fund the club. The rates of...

    I would think a large chunk would be used to accelerate their existing strategy

    19/20 Accounts

    to pay down the loans & interest and to then sell the club is the strategy. The timelines on that have been pushed back because of the pandemic. There is always a strategy or plan the fact that they haven't shared it with us or we cannot see it clearly is irrelevant

    I think we should always keep in mind a number of things - The SISU investors always come first not CCFC - The chronological time lines of specific events, are more often than not much longer than a couple of months - There is without exception always a SISU plan, they have staff and...

    obviously not party to your friends group bid but that looks like standard SISU operating practice to me. If someone comes half close to what they want they engage, collect the data, move the goal posts.

    I would think their current expectation is north of £20m. That would cover the capital & interest they are owed. In their mind there will be a premium for the club being in the Championship. But i don't think it is for sale at the moment I am still of the mind that they want to manage the...

    Yes but if you just restrict it to non player sales income then we would be mid table, but we were playing in Birmingham and a sizeable number of fans voted with their feet and didnt go. Also depends on how many home games each club had left. its all in how you say it or spin it
