that thinks that our relegation was planned by Sisu?...Just think about it...if we hit the ground running our gates will soar and if we should maintain a top 6 position they will stay boyant throughout the season. The only problem Sisu have with that plan is of course financing a team capable of a susained challange.

Now you said that it does sound like a plan,and to be fair if it is and comes off it'll be good business

That's the theory...

As you say Pax "thats the theory", Now all we need is someone to put into action.

Sounds good however I don't think there clever enough to think that,also we may of been taken over in the championship but who knows what goes on behind the scenes

CCFC_Charlie · May 8, 2012

Hmmm, seems a very risky strategy, but I wouldn't put it past SISU

Good luck with that.

I have said this in previous threads. Its a good way to negotiate rent, lower the wage bill and possibly bring the fans something to cheer about.

If they did and the possibility is there it is fools gold, the reduction of away support at the Ricoh alone will cost us thousands some clubs take less than a hundred to games, unless Sheffield United stay down the highest away crowd will be Walsall, about a couple of thousand, then there's the loss of home support and also the loss of TV revenue and the value of players drop too.

If it wasn't the plan, the man who hired KD should be stood against the Jimmy Hill statue and shot..............

This concept is really clutching at straws, we will be lucky to finish in the top half of the league!

It is usual, for the owners of Football teams to make an effort to avoid relegation, in the form of trying to improve the squad, by signing, or loaning new players, the fear of "Relegation" is usually the wake up call that triggers football clubs into every possible action to avoid the dreaded drop, and all the financial disadvantages that go with it.
I said Usual, but not in the Case of CCFC, who it appears were not at all bothered, about relegation,SiSu, "The ones Who saved us" Sat back, lit up a cigar, and watched unconcerned, as the Sky blues foundered, and sunk.
So blatant, was the inactivity of our owners, that its easy to think that they planned it, this would be hard to substanciate, But the fact that that they did absolutely nothing to prevent it, is quite undeniable.

When success carries no guarantees as other L1 clubs have seen, I doubt very much whether any business would deem it a good opportunity to reduce its income by £3m+ pa

There are many references to the term in the early 20th century. These all use hit the ground running in its literal sense and relate to the various ways people might do this, for instance, hobos jumping from freight trains, troops being dropped by parachute etc. The first figurative use that I've found so far, i.e. a usage where no actual ground or running is involved, is from The Hayward Daily Review, October 1940:

"It sometimes seems to me that the young idea nowadays wants to hit the ground running and to tell the old editors how to run things."

Why would they have sanctioned loan signings in January if they didn't want to stay up?

Because they were trying to pacify the fans and possibly keep attendances (Income) at it's highest level.

You would have thought a better way to pacify fans would be staying in the Championship though :thinking about:

And the main income from attendances would be from season tickets which are already bought?

These conspiracy theories confuse me!
