Where did you get the £6M figure From? Last year they made £75m from the playing side alone , quick internet search show that they made the biggest profit, another quick search puts them in the top 50 richest clubs. But in an article for the local press they said. Swansea chairman Huw Jenkins...

Point taken and bad wording from my side where i was not clear in my point, I was referring to the Legal costs that were building for the JR and beyond. Those costs were reported close to £500K and only had the prospect of Going up. Because of funding from central Govt , There will be 1,000...

The point I was making is that it is a matter of record that the RICOH would be disposed of by CCC. The world was informed that CCC would not be held hostage to the up keep and running of the stadium with the responsibility of running the city with taxpayers money.

How can you possibly accuse him of SPIN for posting statements reported a at specific times ad some of it commented on on this board. What this does , if anything , in a court of law would probably would corroborate what Nick Eastwood said. They began looking at the RICOH in Dec 2103. Looking...

Vick, thats true, but as part of that Process the Golden Share will be sold with the club so I think it will get close but that is the only thing of value that have left. And whilst in essence it is in the Gift of the football league to grant or withdraw the share I don't think they will let...

I do think that we are headed for some darker days before things improve. I would not be surprised to see SISU hang around for a while to see if there is any interest. However I do think that any prospective owners will adopt SISU's own hardball tactics that will see at least one more...

I really can't believe I have just read this. The Fans owe nothing to CCFC and SISU it is entirely the other way round.

I think this is an excellent post. If we do not adopt a positive approach then we are doomed. We may not like our current situation , but until people accept that it is what it is we will not be able to move on and change things for the better.

In the 21st century don't see how calling somebody Mr Eastwood makes you any more switched on or makes any minuted meeting more formal. If you are invited to call a person by their first name it does not stop you asking pointed questions and receiving appropriate answers. With all the issues...

CCFC would never have owned the RICOH if SISU were in Charge. Back in 2008 they reported the option to purchase the shares from Higgs as transferred into Sky Blue sports and leisure, the parent company so don't kid yourself that with SISU as owners CCFC would have been anything other than a...

OK so now we have not just CCFC but CCFC and WASPS in town. CCFC will continue to pull crowds on a Saturday benefitting local businesses . rather than those in Northampton WASPS will play on a Sunday pulling in Support and have some big European games and clashes with Leicester to come at...

Stupot07 on another thread you posted that ACL only made £750K in its present form and I presume that that includes the - events, conferences, meetings, weddings, etc - food and beverages - selling stadium naming rights - getting the stands sponsored - pitchside advertising - external...

The logic is that in order for anybody to see a significant profit from the future sales of ACL/WASPS and CCFC is the potential for future earnings. I have posted on here before that CCFC is a ticket to the Premier league lottery and the big revenue stream that represents. Not talking about...

I think people forget the Collapse of ITV Digital. More than £300M for league football in 2002 Significant revenue for league clubs, however the Football League did not include a parent company guarantee so when it folded it blew a hole in the budget of Most clubs. That was the first year we...

They've washed their hands of the club in that they no longer have any dealing with them. Surely that's incontrovertible. When CCC had a 50% share of ACL they had to deal with SISU/CCFC, and now they don't. OK if were making a simple statement of fact that point taken. However within the...

This is from the Telegraph article

I think you got right to the heart of it. 8,000 paying supporters is not enough to change anything. Saw a WASPS fan say the same thing for them. So we need a Business or business man to invest. If they are not doing it for vanity then I would reasonably expect them to make a profit in the long...

Couple of points. If you believe its catch 22 then there is no way out other than starting again with no debt. I am not necessarily advocating we simply chuck endless amounts of money at the situation because that is no guarantee of success. the actual of costs and interest charges to other...

I don't see how CCC can be accused of washing their hands with the club. The council cannot simply support CCFC with Tax Payers money that is illegal. CCFC are the same as WASPS a commercial organisation. The relationship the club had with ACL when they returned to the RICOH exists unchanged...

OSB58, Agreed. Think that SISU and the club are now in unchartered waters and they need the fans more than ever. we are the remaining goodwill in their business. WASPs / ACL whilst having to look out for WASPs and ACL's interest first seem to want to keep the club onside as they are part of...
