Cheers, lads.

Notice (as you undoubtedly have) how many of them are closely linked. Property developers, surveyors, solicitors, engineers, office designers, etc etc.

Imagine how much work this lot have done together over the years and how much money they've made for each other.

It would be intresting to see what he has to say when several members try to vote for a no confidence in our chairman...

Whilst Risdsale is the Chairman, the 'Board' have had ample opportunity to keep his extravagances in check. That they chose -and continue to choose not to, says a lot about their intentions.

Our league gates in the past 5 years have increased by 40%. We have received around £30 million in transfers. Yet the acconts still show increasing losses.

There really has to be only one outcome of this utter disaster [excluding the unlikely possibility of promotion]. I think all realise that there isn't going to be any investor. They will fight tooth and nail -and leave Risdsale to handle matters- to avoid administration for as long as is practically possible. And here's the rub. Until then, they will take as much out of the club as they can, through transfers, bonuses, share capitalization, so any losses via administration are mitigated, and then go for administration.

It hasn't been only Risdsale doing nicely out of CCFC.

is it me or does it look like the board are giving away chunks of our club for services rendered,
its also alarming to see the closeness between the heads of theses companies (bit of back scratching going on i think)

the blog also shows us the actual value of our club being around 6.5 million, if my calculations are right

Thanks, lads.

Tony: I can't see any way to use the way in which so many of the shareholders are so closely linked to our advantage. Indeed, it is something that clearly works against us.
