Syd, what I do have is an extensive football knowledge through basic reading. Simon Jordan had business acumen, better than yours in terms of wealth I'd imagine. What happened to him? Mark Goldberg? The list goes on. The fact is that football is a business few understand and profit from. Your logic is that he club should spend and pay mega wages in an attempt to remain in the promised land. That is just ridiculous. We need to invest in the infrastructure which the club are doing. It isn't fancy, it doesn't get headlines but it does give us a platform to continue building. I hope you and similar fans get your signing soon. I am becoming bored of the moaning and fear such nonsense will drive our very good owners out in a worst case scenario.

There's a rather interesting unintentional insight into the way you see the world here: Simon Jordan had business acumen, better than yours in terms of wealth I'd imagine You appear not to even know what business acumen is, let alone who possesses it.

Syd, please don't allow your degree and your perceived idea that you have some kind of superiority over people because you run your own business cloud the issue. Businesses are designed to make money. Profit. I may not have a degree but in this system of capitalism that is the primary concern of a business, to make money. Simon Jordan, at one time in his life had a great deal of business acumen, as did Mark Goldberg. Football fcuked this up for them. Can't you get this into your head, or does your business acumen blind you from the realities cpfc 2010 face. In one breath you reckon SJ had no business sense. In the other you want cpfc 2010 to behave exactly like a Goldberg/Jordan to deliver you with the signings you want, without considering the long term picture. I trust cpfc 2010 and thank Christ you're not in charge. It's egos like yours that saw our club almost die not long back.

The bottom line is ...CPFC2010 directors have put their own hard earned money into this club. They need to be comfortable with the levels of risks and rewards involved in spending to stay in premiership vs adopting a more conservative strategy and not face a cash crunch upon relegation,especially if they fail to regain promotion. It is easy for supporters to want CPFC2010 to splash the cash ..but it is not supporters money and these supporters will not put their hands in the pocket if we go broke. I don't remember the supporters coming to Goldberg's rescue when it all fell apart! At some point in the future ..CPFC 2010 may sell out and we may get a billionnaire owner but that will come with its own issues. For now ...I think all supporters need to remember that we are lucky to have the owners we do have and we should respect that it is their money ..not ours..we have limited rights!!

I very much trust in CPFC 2010, and I hope that TP (a proper Manager.) Will remain and become part of my trust.

We are talking about only reinforcing by 2 decent players to help keep our hopes alive. If we cant do that then I think the supporters are being sold short. End of

Do you know what the word acumen means because you seem to be confusing it with the word luck. You seem to be embarrassing yourself
