Amusing really.

1. Get rid of SISU
2. Fans take over and pay for stuff
3. Future is rosy.

The thing is, whereare the fans? If a billionaire / mega rich city fan walks out tomorrow and says he wants the club and he will do X Y and Z then Im sure everybody would be behind him. I would.

People are shouting SISU out outside NEXT, what is it going to achieve other than make them feel better for shouting?

We would be debt free, unemcumbered from a whole tiered layer of companies based in the Cayman Islands. A consortium a la Pompey would assume control and we should have a level of transparency and honesty not seen in decades. A club run by people who understand the game and the fans requirements. Both Wasps and the Council would I expect be on board in helping the club strike new deals once the litigious scum are out of the picture. It wouldn't be perfect and fans would have to accept that investment would be limited but who knows what sort of investors could rear their heads in that scenario ?!

Hang on, so we'd be going from one hedge fund who moved a club 34 miles temporarily to a hedge fund who have permanently moved a club about 90 miles? They're both as bad as each other!! Wasps owe £32m back to a likely tangled web of investors.

Have you heard the say, 'out of the pan, into the fire'?!

They'd be well chuffed if they knew we had an eleventy-billion page thread on them. It would probably help negotiations to be honest.

I hope this is irony but I have a sneaky feeling you actually believe this. Throwing money at it isn't going to solve our problem unless that money is used to hire a good hit-man or two!

Ohhhhhhh I get it now, You think SISU are leaving in March and you reckon we should go to Tesco to get some drinks to celebrate. For a minute I thought you were trying to oust them by walking to the ground on your normal route while shouting.

Pompey's supporters trust only got to takeover as the club was in administration and the administrator ignored offers from others. Even then it involved them doing a deal with a property developer (there's now a Tesco where the car park at Fratton Park used to be) and they got a 7 figure loan off the council.

And they are in League 2 now

What million pound losses ?? Pretty sure any losses now would only be because of SISU imposed administration charges ?! That and debt interest which under that { dream } scenario would be a thing of the past. It's all academic anyway because the scumbags have reasons to cling on to the club or they would have scrapped the project a few years ago.

It serves primarily as a global tax haven, where companies and individuals can salt
Away their legal and illegal gotten gains, in the safe knowledge they are untouchable.
So you may well be right there.

Say NOPM achieves its stated aim,; at the end of the 2016/17 season SISU pull the plug and wind the club (Otium) up and ARVO or whoever takes possession of Ryton. All gate monies have been received at that point. The existing £100k p/a deal at the Ricoh is cancelled as Otium has been wound up.

What happens next?
Click to expand...

Well .........jumping forward to 2024

Wasps who had set this process in motion some 10 years ago simply by ignoring the club and buying up complexes the club 'said' they didn't want, finally reap the rewards of buying the CCFC name and goodwill for a nominal sum.

Having to start at the bottom it has taken 8 years for CCFC to return to the Premier League
The mainly new fan base gathered during the last 8 years of meteoric success fill the newly extended 43,000 seater Landrover Stadium.
Wasps managing director Grendel Eastwood says it's been a long and devious process.

Tale of two hedge funds.
Both set out to own their own stadium = one does
Both set out to own their own academy = one soon will
Both say they want to achieve success. = one is trying to do so

Be fair Neal, we are just supporters like you. I can read a balance sheet but I'm not an accountant. Accounts can be cooked to portray what you want to a certain extent, especially where there is a tiered layer of loans and ownership structure. As for investors......we are all investors ! I haven't got all the answers but what I do know is that SISU are now only using CCFC to achieve other litigious ambitions and probably enable tax avoidance elsewhere in the group and that their actions have alienated them and CCFC from the local Coventry authorities and will also likely soon provoke a major fall out with our latest landlords. We have seen a catastrophic fall in grace for the club to it's lowest level for decades and somehow they have managed to attract a band of supporters to try and snuff out any disgust for them at every opportunity.

If we were owned by Wasps, morally, our owners would be morally no better than they are now.

There's nothing moral about professional football, if their ownership meant we weren't
Lurching from one disaster to another, if it meant we weren't constantly worrying about
Where we will be playing soon .
Basically if their ownership meant we could put all this shit behind us and get back to
Doing what supporters of a football club should do.
Count me in .

It will be interesting to see if the Council, Wasps, CSF and any other organisations will be any more accommodating when SISU do leave?
