That’s another pair of pants in the washing machine!Didn’t you say in 2017 wasps would be bust in 2 years? How’s that going?
1 - crowd is income - top 10 yes... CBS rent must be factored in here....
2- Can they? (Honestly don't know answer)
3- Do they need to do that to help satisfy people involved that ultimately help/have helped keep us afloat over the years?? (Genuine question)
If they stopped, could someone mentioned above look to pull the plug??
I can understand people wanting a "bit more money" but I'd rather have CCFC in the long term performing at a decent level, than taking gambles.
We’re more likely to regress next season than kick on from this one.If we keep the majority of this squad together and have a little bit of investment and cash in on hamer or o’hare and reinvest that I think we could be in the top six but we need goals all over the park and that sadly costs money we don’t have unless we get a large fee for one of the two mentioned.

What’s yours??? To make money?
What’s yours??? To make money?
Sisu aren’t making money through the club - they never will so again I don’t really see your point
If they owned a normal business and the building constantly leaked they’d get a cowboy from down the round to keep repairing it then one day it will fall down
Though of course their idea is to actually build a brand new building when they already have one they don’t even need to pay repairs on
Unless you’re managed by Alex Ferguson in his prime, you can’t expect to win anything with a squad full of young players. Just utterly clueless
Not sure making money is the right reason to own a football club. Unless things change drastically there's very little chance of doing that in the English game. It's a folly. The only real way to do it is promotion to the Premier League.
It's always the catch 22 situation with the current setup of football. If you run at break-even / profit below the premier league you're unlikely to be successful.

To me this is all straightforward:
We are run as an investment business item in a hedge fund portfolio.
We have a playing budget based on income / net of overhead.
If we make money on a player either as a academy graduate or by buying and selling then SOME of that money goes back to playing budget.
If we offload wages then we can spend that amount in another player wages / sign on without going to SISU.
If we sign a player with little chance of selling or offloading then we better be sure that they are exactly what we need.
Signing a 31 year old as potentially 4th in line striker (Gyok, God, Walker - Waghorn) seemed mad to me.
The usual dippers who go frothing and laughing have the combined IQ of one of Bernard Matthew’s mushed up f-ing Turkey Burgers if they don’t see this. SISU are unlikely to agree to extend the budget unless it’s for a sensible purchase. Kane might have been a justified SISU plea based on the fact that he was the right age, established, undervalued due to circumstances beyond the norm.
Didn’t you say in 2017 wasps would be bust in 2 years? How’s that going?
So who should they gamble and invest in?
Bear in mind the bigger richer clubs are doing the same
If you work on say 3 of the top six are settled already we are working on getting in to the next 3. If you get into play offs work out the chances of winning the final
Would you gamble on that or build a squad for a proper push next year? Also we hopefully will not be distracted by covid
Based on what? We’ve developed and grown every season over the last 5 yearsWe’re more likely to regress next season than kick on from this one.
Sorry oldfivwr was asking you your motivation for business as you were saying sisu are wrong to try and make money. What’s your motivation with your business?Sisu aren’t making money through the club - they never will so again I don’t really see your point

There is a ceiling with this ownership and I would think we’re very close to itBased on what? We’ve developed and grown every season over the last 5 years
Yep I agree of course I do but we are owned by sisu and part of that means they are looking to maximise their funds.Not sure making money is the right reason to own a football club.

Ok that’s what I mean about perception. You blame sisu for the fall and give luck and chance the credit for getting back. That’s prejudice not fact. I imply nothing I just look at the factsWe’ve grown because we dropped to absurd levels in the first place. We were top at one point in league 1 in 2015 weren’t we until the plug was pulled
You imply some great strategy but it’s more serendipity than any owner intervention
Fair and that’s maybe correct. I think once the players in our squad who deserve the best wages leave we will struggle to compete and grow. So maybe this and next season are the last chance saloon for Sisu getting a big pay day. If I had money I’d be looking at the back end of next season to get an offer in place.There is a ceiling with this ownership and I would think we’re very close to it

I don’t disagree and I’m happy to blame sisu and other leaders for the laughing stock we were. Unlike you who give no credit to anyone for the turnarondSo what strategy did Sisu employ for getting back?
As for the fall the funding plug was pulled and they employed chaotic and ridiculous chancers to make decisions who were incapable of doing so. They allowed a failed head of Southampton FC to literally make the club a laughing stock

Employing boddy and robinsWell I’ve asked you for their strategy that’s led to it…
As I said yesterday, 2 Championship standard players per position.
GK: Nope
LB: Yes
CB: If we played a back 4, yes, but with a 5, nope and even so, they’re dangerously slow.
RB: Yes
CM: Nope-nothing beyond Hamer and Sheaf
AM: The weakest part of the pitch for me.
ST: If one up front is the new plan then yes, though I don’t think Robins really wants that at home.
A couple of promising younger players from within are then ok to bulk out the numbers. If you’re asking right now, I’d say it needs 2 or 3 players in midfield most urgently. This doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg
What’s yours??? To make money?
And you, you're a miserable old fucker aren't you? Spend your whole day on here moaning just because your kids don't visit you anymore. Sad really
Agree unfortunatelyWe’re more likely to regress next season than kick on from this one.

Stick to the running threads you are clueless, and clearly a SISU sympathiser
Yeah and thank god you barely spread your shite on the football sideI'd love to tell you what threads you should stick to, but you spread your absolute claptrap indiscriminantly all over the forum.
