That’s exactly what it is. Taking the piss with words as well as actions
Why the hell did the Blackburn director need to say this?
It comes across as gloating at another club's misfortune
Football really is a horrible business

Well, if you take into account a team in the bottom tier, no real financial assets in the playing squad, in fact no assets at all, they turned down a deal which could have been worth up to £20mill. They stated they had invested £80mill in the club, so im assuming they are looking for an amount which we know is totally unrealistic.What is Sisus end game?
What would it take for them to sell?

Of course that's not accurate, but you know as well as I do they classify 'investment' as being the funds they put in + any interest they're owed. Which is nonsense.They don’t have £80m
The start of it reads like we’re a plucky lower league club.Think the club have been reading this thread and answered (some) of the questions tonight with the club update just posted!

Please ask them if, (as theyve stated today) they are still operating at a loss, why are they still here.
Thanks
I'm assuming that they included the 40+mill debt from the takeover in 2007 and subsequent covering of losses to date ( or up to the last offer to purchase).They don’t have £80m

So as I said, they class the original takeover debt as still owing somewhere.No total spend has been £32m since the takeover

I'm not arguing for them, only putting their warped opinion forward.
It’s called managing expectations I thinkExactly: what’s the plan here?
Because from the club statements it seems to be throw our arms up in the air at how unfair it all is.
The expectation not to have an executive box?It’s called managing expectations I think
So knowing sisu as we do, that is what they would want, and probably a bit more. If you add on the slight possibility that the stadium lease may become available at say 30mill, I can't see anyone willing to shell out 80+mill for the club. Can you ?its the debt in SBS and L so the group debt is at something just over £50 million

That I can agree with. Unless it's a ridiculous offer they are quite happy to trundle along, dragging me behind them.a lot of that is manufactured debt but they don’t want to sell. It’s a never ending cycle

It was quite frustrating if I’m honest
In what sense?It was quite frustrating if I’m honest
In what sense?
Bottom 7 budget this year rather than bottom 4. Suppose that’s incremental improvement and yes the meeting had a feel of it’s so unfair and we are doing our best. In a sense I understand that. Without significant investment that is the reality. Unfortunately due to that the club will need to plan for quite a drop off in season ticket numbers in my opinion but let’s see what the season brings and who the defensive replacement is going to be for DomIn all seriousness, the owners and the club need to realise the fans do not see us as a lower league club having a day out. We expect to be competitive at this level and it’s not an unrealistic expectation considering the size of our fan base.
So did anyone query the telegraph article?Bottom 7 budget this year rather than bottom 4.

Which article ??So did anyone query the telegraph article?
The one that surfaced: re willing to sellWhich article ??
YepThe one that surfaced: re willing to sell
basically, do they have the appetite to run a Championship team? Because at the moment it doesn’t appear that way

Think ccfc tried but it would need to be significant saleMore I look back the more I think we should have cashed in on Hamer or COH if I am being honest, at their peak value and would have gave MR more movement in the transfer market
Come on - you know that doesn’t work in the championship long term. I’m not asking for a top 6 budget.What does that appetite look like?
For me I think it’s minimal investment from the owner and an overall plan to try and progress
That didn’t come up
