[bluegadge]

FFS put it up for sale now

The current ownership is DEAD...DUSTY...& MOULDY

Attempt nr 237 to get rid of a failing regime

Who is queuing up to buy it? Further to this at least the Bod have attempted to facilitate the finances to bring in players that Kav has sought. It could be a lot worse. I am not so sure that there are lots of wealthy people out there who wish to throw their money at a football club that they have no previous attachment to whilst being abused by ungrateful and unrealistic divies.

[durhamblue]

you need someone with coin to buy-its not like they have a queue of buyers.

[TheDan]

And who do you think is going to come in and buy it?

A club is what you make it as a supporter so stop whinging

[bluegadge]

Have you ever heard of publicly advertising the club for sale through every media avenue known to mankinf

Crazy concept I know

[bluebry]

Every football league team in the country is for sale, barring a small handful. Anybody that wants to buy a football club will make sure they look at every club that is for sale before 'taking the plunge' as it were.
And unless you are super, super rich and from the Carlisle/Cumbria area would you really consider buying it? Its like tipping your money down a very deep hole never to see the light of day again.
Instead of whinging about it why don't you go and try and find this mystery buyer yourself?

[bluebry]

One of the reasons Fred Story didn't carry on being our owner was because he felt there wasn't enough people coming through the gates (and if you don't believe me then just ask the guy) to sustain any league above the one we are playing in, and back then we were getting 7,000 on a regular basis! Maybe if we had taken that one step further maybe we could have got another 2/3,000 through the gates, but even that would be well short of the current average in the Championship. And anyway how long would that last? history has already told us people don't like seeing a team lose every week, and without investment in the team, how are we going to stay in that league.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, until people get off their backsides and start supporting the club again, (we'll start with the 5,800 that went to Sunderland)we haven't got a cat in hell's chance of getting much further, no matter who the owner/owners are.. (Unless they have money to burn or are completely mad!!!) and

BlueBry: Spot on!

Plus, the 25% of shares that are held by a TRUST and the 8% are held at large at make owning the club an unattractive proposition for most..

This lack of a reasonable full control of the club - makes it hard for any future owner to seek further partnerships in the future at need and still maintain control of the club..

For the 1000th time,the TRUST must agree to sell at least the greater of it shares (and at a discount??) if CUFC is to get meaningful ownership in the future!!! The TRUST needs allow any new owner some wiggle room..

As BlueBry says, why would anyone by this club??? The way its ownership is structured now is really screwed up????

I would like to hear what the last 3 of owners have to really say about the TRUST's ownership position in the club.

It is an albatross upon this clubs future - exactly, what it is NOT suppose to be.

[bluegadge]

What a screwed up mess this really is.

What have we got to look forward to over the next 10 years then ?

Looks like near zero chance of ever improving...it's this total lack of belief in the product that is Cufc that also puts people off.

What do we stand for, what are our ambitions and future plans, what are we putting in place to achieve them ??

No sod knows do they

Bluegadge,

I'm not sure who you're having a dig at.. the board or the fans? The most realistic option we have of selling this club is if a wealthy businessman decides we're an appealing option and we're also coincidentally close to his 10th favourite holiday cottage in the lakes...

If I had the money to invest, I would. That goes for all blue fans. The idea of owning a football club is great. The idea of selling the club is great - but there has to be mutual benefits for club and owner. I don't know if you know much about business or reality.

Pipe dreams...
