    SISU's new problem

    The trouble with SISU is they were badly effected by the economic downturn in 2008 and thus the bottomless pit was closed for a bit whilst they realigned their resources etc.. There has been no evidence of the pit being reopened since other than to fund our massive operating losses which I...

    its the end for us

    SISU had plan A purchases of Fox & Dann, the wood brothers (east West & richard) Gunny etc.. had a good 08/09 season which tailed off badly at the end, these highly impressive venture capitalists next move was to sell Dann & fox sell Best replace with lower quality and guess what we struggled...

    its the end for us

    Ouch do you know how private equity works, they may have access to funds but its not their money, they invest it on behalf of other people, they make their money not by buying things at their market value - they usually buy and asset strip selling its parts for more than they paid for the whole...

    its the end for us

    Q What do SISU really want ?. A a return on their investment ?. A successful CCFC is more likely to achieve this, especially if we get into the PL but its clear this is very unlikely to happen. Q What are their options ? A Continue to run the club hope either some billionaire buys them out...

    Breaking news: ACL call in debt and have access to CCFC

    IMO - because the club went cap in hand to bale them out of the stadium debacle, they were shafted on the initial commercials within the Ricoh deal, not in a position to play hardball more idiotic financial management by the club allowed other income sources to be sold for short-term gain...

    Just to bring it back to football for a mo...

    Can't be bothered talk about Robins or SISU. Team for Saturday GK Murphy LB Adams if unfit jordan definitely not this new guy RB Cyrus, dodgy going forward but solid in defence CB Nathan & Wood, think Edge needs to be dropped, seems to have lost his confidence and can seem lightweight when up...

    Andy Morrell being linked

    Adkins would be most fans first choice but he won't come here. An advantage with Morrell was committed when playing for the club plus may get us a few non-league gems.

    Look North

    how do you know he can't agree terms, agents would have had off the record talks way before the official approach I doubt he would have burned his bridges here if there was any chance of him not joining, he's gone, lets move on.

    It's a wind-up!

    I always thought relegation from the premier league was confirmed when that sweedish defender changed his name from gustafaso to antonelius - very queer thing to do.

    Let's take our time

    OK rush in get a new appointment, SISU's track record is pretty poor with appointments, a poor appoinment, will get the pre-season like Thorne did, imagine if we had robbins in the pre season, would not have wasted time and effort on Malaga Barton Fleck Kilbane Brown and we would now be in the...

    Let's take our time

    The season is over don't think even with Robins we would have made the play-offs. Lets plan for next year, take our time and make the right appointment Recall Cody, don't play any of the loanees. Let the new man weigh up our squad in the 10 odd games that he gets to see them play.

    Should SISU be on the phone to Northampton

    No - shocked by the very suggestion, the fact he is at a small club like Cobblers is all the evidence you need as to what the football community think of his true ability, Watford was a fluke had King & Ashley Young up front, bound to win games with those 2 at championship level. AB though is a...

    He Scored Yesterday -- get him back and get Clarke out!!!!!!

    I have to defend Platini was only bought as an impact sub, by AB King Juke ROD would have been ahead of him, last year he played so much cos King left, Juke was sold halfway through the season and Cody was never really fit. What he lacked in ability he made up for in effort. did score some...

    My rant

    The pitch was bad, we were slightly unlucky especially hitting the bar and the 2 offside decisions. Jennings - the enforcer does not win tackles and IMO had another poor game. Baker - his shooting from distance, only 1 tested the keeper, he must have had 6 shots from outside the box, his...

    Sky Blues snap up striker

    Shaun Jeffers - will be 21 in April, Robins surely doesn't rate him as he hasn't been anywhere near the matchday squad, if Callum Ball is higher up the pecking list then he must know his career is over.
