Saints: Oh how we laughed when they said 'no' to SISU. They must be pissing themselves laughing now and I can't blame them.

Saints went into Admin, took the 10 point hit, and STILL finished in the top-half of the League 1 table. They improved the squad, regrouped, and got promoted. Tonight they are top of the Championship table, with 9 points after going to Portman Road and blasting 5 past Ipswich.

Us: Embraced the SISU cos Admin = Nuclear option (or so we were told). Since then.....how have we improved? On or off the pitch? We're got rid of the debt....oh wait, no, we didn't, we're losing £500,000 per month.

Everyone knew we had to purchase a share in the ground when Ranson came in....years later, the new board come in and state: "we still know we have to purchase a share in the ground." No, really? I had no idea.

We got a new manager....then got rid. We got AT and actually played some decent attacking football....and then didn't replace all the players who have left. Tonight we're 3rd from bottom, Played 4, lost 4.

So.....convince me please. Would Admin really be that bad? At the moment were bleeding to death, slowly. And it hurts.

When a horse breaks a leg, you don't let it live in agony. You put it out of its misery. SISU should do the same - either shoot us (Admin) or sell up, because we can't go on like this, and more games like tonight will destroy the kids we're currently relying on for yet another season of Championship football.

Soton were lucky enough to get someone pouring money in.

For every Soton there's Plymouth, Bradford etc.

Southampton own their own ground I think? And got taken over by a billionaire, if we went into admin we still wouldn't own the ground if/when we cam out the other end.

Not a fair comparisson really.

For me the tale of two clubs was tonights games, just do not think we have the players or character to ever turn a game round in the final 5 minutes and win like Palace did, its the opposite for City, you just knew we would concede.

Admin more of a medically induced coma, shooting us will mean liquidation.

At the moment maybe admin sounds better, i dont know for sure tho. One thing that puzzles me is how long can sisu carry on losing £500.000 per month or whatever it is now? Can they just lump all this extra cost on the sale of the club if the hoff or whoever wants to buy? Or do they just get rid. Now i'm not the smartest guy when it comes to economics and business etc but i do know that any club or business losing the amount we are must be on borrowed time.

Depending on how the debt is structured there are various routes parties can go down. If the debt is in the form of bank loans they can be passed onto Hoffman via the sale of the club. If the debts however are in the form of owners loans (as I think it may be) meaning CCFC owe Sisu all the money, they can either ask Hoffman to pay enough money for them to pay that off (£40m+) or they can write it off. Who are we kidding though, they're far too selfish to write any of it off! They'll want top dollar and they make me sick.

First time I've used this but:

the cov board had to give sisu blow jobs for 6million towards the end of last season thats why we avoided going into admin
