There can be very good reasons to lie. In this matter, however, I would simply point out that in nearly 600 posts on this forum this is the first time I have posted on such matters (and probably shouldn't have this time).
The Philosopher is probably correct in his reflections regarding the second part of the talk, in that when push comes to shove, minds can change. What does seem clear - from within the club - is that relegation would probably change things (for better or worse) more than we currently might appreciate.
What is pertinent is that a 3rd tier club with (undeniable) massive potential is a better lure for a potential buyer than one in the 4th tier by some distance.
The Prem is where the money is (more so now than ever) and there are some investors who will still see CCFC as viable in getting there.
If SISU put a good manager in place and start moving up then they have a good chance of getting out with a reduced damage sustained.
Champ clubs with potential cost £££ and now below that there is probably only us, Bristol City, possibly Preston who could have a fan base as to fit in long term in the Prem at this level. (SUFC recently taken over).
Portsmouth, Plymouth etc are too far down the pyramid to be invested in on the same basis.
Anyway, point is that SISU want out, but cannot afford to be in the category of PFC or PAFC.
I do genuinely think that if we got into a position to challenge then SISU would find some extra money - they do have access to it, just not the appetite at present and I don't blame them tbh. Would you give money to SP, AT or CC?
I wouldn't.
The next appointment is crucial.
I would go for RM on that basis.
