Have they ever been seen together??

I didn't realise an ex NED would be so influential. Any theories on JFK or the moon landings? :)

To be honest, the main thing that the offer does is to highlight the complete absurdity of SISU keeping us in Northampton. But there are very few who need convincing of that (outside the SISU Boardroom :)).

But about different things.

I'd had a (very) small spark of hope that once the JR was out of the way, the two sides might just have got around a table and started to negotiate seriously and sensibly. Not looking too promising........

I think last season started early because of the World Cup. I'd guess that next season will be a week later.

I thought the whole point of escrow was that it didn't have to be initiated by the payer.

He didn't actually accuse OSB of bias. If he had, he would have left himself open to being asked to provide some evidence for the claim. Instead he indulged in some rather poor mud slinging. Not really worthy of RobS who is generally worth reading.

Re point 2, I think there is a difference between criticising and mud slinging.

If there really is a £3m bid for a third division player with only one season behind him, then I think that most (if not all) clubs would accept it. The issue is that looking back on last season, our successful period was pretty much based on goals from Clarke and Wilson, with useful support...

So, he in!

A little sideline of mine - my campaign to encourage more use of two letter words.....

This is a key issue for me. I'm sure that there have been "wrongs" by both sides throughout this messy saga. That has brought us to our current position where (from all that we can see) a (the?) key obstacle to moving forward is a lack of trust between the parties. So a (rhetorical) question -...

I think that more mud-slinging from one side against the other is the last thing we need at present. I can't see that there are more than two options: 1) The parties get together and agree a deal that brings us back to the Ricoh - whether temporarily, until the new stadium is built, or...

Having said that - I would expect him to have a very good grasp of how the business case for building a new stadium stacks up and would be very interested to hear that!

I'm not normally known for leaping to the defence of SISU/Otium Directors, but in this case I have some sympathy for ML. In my experience, Directors (excluding FDs of course :) ) have only a passing acquaintance with the statutory accounts of their companies. They'll usually have a decent idea...

Excellent post. I believe that that is representative of a significant number. I worry that SISU do not understand that.

I agree. I love the intrigue as much as anyone, but after our "lost year", the only thing that matters is playing back in Coverntry.

I fear that that is true, but hope that it isn't. If we kick off next season in Northampton, it seems likely that we will be there for years. If so, I wonder what state the club will be in when (if?) we return to Coventry.

I think the question is what do you mean by "the club"? If any money is due, I'd have thought it was due to CCFC Ltd, or perhaps CCFC Holdings Ltd. I don't think that either of those are anything to do with SISU any more. If that is correct then I can't see how SISU could sue anyone for...
