It’s amazing we’ve got any fans left really.
Joy "Overcome with emotion "How can he say SISU don't care about the supporters? Joy wrote us a lovely letter telling us how 'overcome with emotion' she was at Wembley. So unfair.
Good article, though the dame holding up the banner needs to work on her apostrophes.

The PR for what they are would be a lot more valuable to them the past 2-3 years than anything from when they first came in...I think what baffles me the most about SISU is that despite all of the disparaging PR they receive year on year in the national press, parliament and on social media, they genuinely seem to not care less.

They've had excellent PR the past few years... from their POVWhat?

In what universe have they had 'excellent' PR? Believe me whilst they're regularly in the media it's certainly not a good thing. The slogan: "There's no such thing as bad publicity" is a myth and is completely outdated in today's climate. There are plenty of companies who have never recovered from a PR disaster, never mind a never-ending one. How SISU don't take it more seriously is beyond the realms of logic IMO.
Exactly.He is talking about from the SISU "relentless investor" point of view. Not CCFC's point of view.

I still don't understand how it's excellent PR. Albeit hedge funds essentially operate on risk, which is what attracts their investors. So I suppose in theory what you're saying is correct, but considering it's very difficult to measure PR in numbers there's no discernible way to discover whether that's fact or fiction.
Apparently SISU do fairly well with their other investments so this unfortunately will only appear as a minor blotch on their portfolio but regardless the worst thing you can do is stay quiet whilst under fire from the media regardless of the situation.
Their whole image is based on not budging, on negotiating a deal by not moving from their position and playing hardball. Were they to move from their position, it would hurt them elsewhere. If you're the type of investor who chooses SISU, you'd recognise far more fully the company you chose to invest with recently, than before. Ever since Seppala took a more active interest they've been far more the type of firm people have chosen to invest in, rather than the one that spunked cash away, and had no sense of cost control.I still don't understand how it's excellent PR.

It shows them as ruthless that they would have the bottle to destroy a football club if it meant getting what they wanted. If I was giving money to somebody to invest, I'd want somebody like that.
No idea if they are good at investing or not though, thats just what he meant by it.
Yes but again your are assuming that they are judged on how the football club is run. I doubt an investor who wants to make a quid or two even knows where its going. If they do tgw majority won't care.I understood what was meant I just wouldn't label it as 'excellent' PR. It shows that they have bottle, I won't deny that. But the stories that appear constantly bang on the same drum: "Misinformed, mismanaged, poor investment" etc etc etc. So whilst the PR might suggest they have serious balls, it also highlights their incompetence in relation to their investment in the asset discussed (CCFC).
Great it shows that they are ruthless, but every hedge fund is ruthless otherwise they wouldn't be in the business that they are in. Investors don't throw money at a situation and hope for the best, it's a calculated decision that takes months, perhaps years in some special cases to execute. Despite this a hedge fund is still always going to have its failed investments as like i said they essentially operate on risk. But to have a poor investment so heavily highlighted in the media and the backlash that has plagued them from high ranking officials in all walks of life cannot be construed as 'excellent' in my POV. Like you said you don't know if they are good at investing or not - how does their negative media coverage qualify as excellent PR when no one even knows if they are good at what they do?
AgainYes but again your are assuming that they are judged on how the football club is run. I doubt an investor who wants to make a quid or two even knows where its going. If they do tgw majority won't care.
The same as when you see pensions going into the weapons trade.
It's not judging them as sisu who run a football club it's sisu the investors who make people money.
That's not be saying they are great at that either.

(Even on the purely financial level, they've divested themselves of a number of liabilities and driven costs down. Far better that than the profligate mess that was there before... but that's an aside really.)

Unless they heavily invest in legal firmsI’m not so sure. For starters the whole “we batter people in court” line has took a battering and the fact that they’ve took said battering surely calls into question their ability on choosing their battles. I’d think that the whole JR process and their very public showings in the court rooms over the past few years is of immense embarrassment to them if anything. Instead of demonstrating sisu they have demonstrated tyhmyys. Hoping google translate is accurate

They have battered people in court. Make a deal... or get tied up for years.I’m not so sure.

Although they did have some serious backing at a time when teams were not spending big (unlike now)In stark contrast to the independent article on CCFC the BBC has posted this article Eddie Howe on Bournemouth, Pep Guardiola and Premier League ambitions on Bournemouth’s history over the last 10 years.
