Remind me, what does that stand for again? I've forgotten. Is it "Put In The Sticks"? "Poor Infrastructure, Tiny Space"? "Parking Is Thankfully Spacious"?
EDIT: "Proof In Three Seven-day-periods"?
spoilt for choice..... I take it äs The Pie in the Sky Stadium....

Not what they planned though. They'd have been out of here in 3-5 years at the very most with a nice profit if they'd carried out their supposed plan. But it went so arse over tits that they're still here.

Well obviously. Christ on a zipwire.
And why did it go arse over tit?.........because they didn't invest when they should have!"

Posted this on the other thread before I realised it was being discussed in here. I can't work out if that article is genuine or a piss take!
Assuming it is genuine a couple of things that may have passed them by, the Amex cost over £90m and if memory serves me correctly didn't the owner put about £20m in and fund the rest interest free? Liberty Stadium was cheaper I think and probably about the right capacity but I think you'd struggle to expand it. Hopefully one day we might start doing well and need to get more than 20K in the ground.
That article does read like they are at the very start of the project rather than getting on for 2 years into it.

I've been in and it's all cheaply made and expensively priced.
I'll continue to wear my old 10 year old stuff which still looks as good as when I bought it.
Nice if they surprise us next week and the stadium shop is full of CCFC and Wasps stuff.
Could get a few City bits and bobs when I pick up my new wasps shirt

Indeed, first google turns up links with 4-8 week lead time on customised shirts, and CCFC shirts have been manufactured before, it is not as if the makers would have to start from scratch.

Thought occurs to me that in a worse case scenario we could end up with 2 relatively new stadiums in Coventry not being used. If we move out and try and finance a new ground there is a risk it could be unsustainable and be the end of the club at some point down the line, at the same time us moving out might drop Wasps in it and they abandon the Ricoh. Would need a lot of things to go wrong but who would have thought we'd be in this situation now 10 years ago.

Well I wouldn't worry too much chief, they are as likely to build a stadium as I am to become a rock star. (although I can carry a tune)

Just listening to CWR, presenter asked club marketing officer "When will you have home kits in by", his reply "That's not something I'm.. I don't have an exact date when they're due in as obviously we're due a change in home kit also".

4weeks from the east coast of India by sea. The company I work for Imports from India and I handle the bills of lading so yes, I do know what I'm talking about.
The goods we buy are made to order and technical specialised equipment and are 5 weeks ex works, 1 week by road to port, 1 week at port for customs/loading, multiple ships leaving weekly for the UK, 4 weeks by sea. Not 16-26 weeks.
We also do a simple exersize called ordering in advance.

I thought the sisu early years was the one bit of the saga that wasn't disputed ie they bought ccfc pre crash when sisu were awash with money to the extent that seppala wasn't even involved in the decision to buy; as recession deepened and sisu's money was fast disappearing, joy looked at things a bit more carefully and saw ccfc was losing money hand over fist; there's then the weird dream board phase but doesn't take her long to get rid of that shower and bring in Tim with the remit of stemming losses and identifying ways of making some money out of ccfc. We then see sisu acting as the asset stripping, court battering hedge fund it is. Personally, returning to earlier posts in this thread, the sisu as aliens theory would also explain a lot - joy can only maintain human form for a limited amount of time hence her inability to be in public for long; labovitch was certainly a poor imitation of a human being; hector is the brains of the operation, and as for RFC...

Ah right, an invasion of the body snatchers scenario? They seem incapable of immitating anything that's any good.

With everything else that has happened much of which out of the hands of our owners, means we have no stock in the shop and people wanting to buy stuff so the club can make money?
Please explain what has happened aside the break in that has not been created by our owners. I am struggling to think of anything

The office, club shop and team are all run so that there wouldn't be too many complications if they ran out on the club. That's why the 4 year contract for SP baffled me so much, it didn't seem to fit the rest of the plan?!

Why worry about annuals and tops? We put all of our effort into selling our best players. :facepalm:

Nick I think you are confusing SISU with people who now how to run a football club. You know, things like engaging fans, making them feel wanted and welcome.

Again you are talking with no knowledge. I am involved with a company and we ordered some very specialist material from China in early November, had it air freighted in and it was here last week. What saddens me is that If the imbeciles cared for the fans, the future or had one once of business sense they could have found a way around this, after all shirts are not exactly high tech and change overtimes from one product to another is virtually seamless (Just like some of the shirts that we have been sold)
But what saddens me more are the apologists who stand up for this sort of nonsense, and give praise. You really must be labo.
