Excellent post, OSB. An organisation such as SISU by nature and instinct conduct their business with secrecy. One of the major areas that they failed in is PR. It goes against the grain for them to be open and transparent to fans about their plans for the club. Even if they employed a PR...

Which will be the SISU version, why can't ACL put their own statement, so that people can make their own minds up ? Sounds like yet another example of fans being treated like rubbish. Does this mean that the FL will waive their own rule about clubs in admin not being allowed to ground share...

It would be a start, but I wonder, if after all that has been said and done over the last few months, if they were forced to play at the Ricoh, would it make their ownership of the club almost untenable ? I think the deal would be on the understanding that SISU will never own all or part of the...

Not necessarily. They tried to do that to Chester, they appealed, and were slotted in at the level below Blue Square, 3 steps away from League 2.

Well done, keep the pressure on. I agree with your theme for this week. Somebody has to find a way to get close enough to SISU to make them uncomfortable and get them on the back foot. I am sure they have plenty they want to keep hidden.

Appleton has said exactly what you would expect him to say. He's not going to say "OK Guv you've got me bang to rights" is he ? His statement is fairly similar to Fisher's of the other day. Smacks of a SISU prepared statement. I think both he and SISU/Otium are frightened to death of...

You notice how he posts these repeated long winded rants, but never takes part in the following discussion ?

Imagine if they do well, support could be very good

I think that reluctantly more people are beginning to think that it has to be a SISU free future,and are prepared to endure the pain to achieve that

Organisations such as are involved in the CCFC saga get away with things largely because nobody monitors what they do, and importantly nobody challenges them. Now we are seeing challenges to SISU/Otium, FL. SISU/Otium in particular are not used to, and will not be comfortable with the scrutiny...

If SISU/Otium are deemed to be the owners of the golden share by the FL, does that mean that Otium, or any SISU associated company cannot sue the FL? If this is true, will have implications for tomorrow's meeting between ACL and the FL. Strengthens ACL's hand? This whole business has the...

This seems like something that would not go further, but is a shot across the bows in advance of ACL's meeting with the FL on Monday. I think Cardoza saw a good opportunity for NTFC but maybe didn't do his homework well enough believing everything Fisher told him. Many CCFC fans E Mailed him to...

This will never happen. Every statement says they are "nearing" or "close to" getting the land. They won't get planning permission.

Sphinx might be happy just the way they are and don't wish to be taken over as a replacement CCFC. The guys from Cov Utd have said that they would be prepared to change name and colours if appropriate. I think I read that they had acquired the rights to the AFC Coventry name ? The advantage of...

What implications on the Ricoh lease ?

I think that ACL will want to do what is necessary to sever the lease, thus cutting the last connection with the Ricoh for SISU. ACL can then proceed with whatever plans they have for the stadium, whilst it would force SISU to either proceed with their stadium plan (which I don't believe they...

That was what I had at the back of my mind, can't see the Charity being pleased at having their money tied up in the stadium long term. PH4 seems to be trusted by the Council/ACL/Higgs. Would be interesting if he expressed an interest.

I understood that the Higgs half share was only available for sale to the owners of the football club, and that there is a time limit on that. As SISU have now severed all connections with the Ricoh, is the Higgs share now no longer available to purchase, or is it available to any other...

Mentioned above, but try to pin him down for details of the progress and timetable for the new stadium. If he swerves the question, or feeds you BS then we will know that they are no further forward. For the last couple of months he has said that they are "close to " agreeing a deal for the...

I don't think we will return, I don't think SISU have any intention of building a stadium. What could very well happen is SISU lease some land on condition of getting planning permission, submit a planning application which they know will fail. They will then cancel the lease, and be able to...
