Bit confused.... Are you suggesting that Tim is planning to move us to a different country? ;)

Didn't Jimmy Saville threaten to sue people? Didn't Jonathan Aitkin sue the Guardian? Didn't Jeffrey Archer threaten to sue people? etc etc Libel cases are so expensive that the threat of action is often sufficient.

Remember going to University in the 70's and wondering who this guy was, that the "Mandela Bar" in the Students' Union was named after. An amazing inspirational man. RIP.

Only if they'd refused to accept the lower rent that was offered, which would have been a little perverse......

If attendances are important, could I make the radical suggestion that SISU accept the offer to return to the Ricoh rent free. The players will get the extra support, SISU will get the extra income. Everyone's a winner.

In dispute with a landlord who wants to give them a rent free deal :)

Interesting. I see pretty much the opposite. There has generally been a fair number of people who talked about equal blame. My view was always that many parties had a hand in creating the background to the problems but that the move to Northampton was an explicit policy of SISU's and...

But I'll bet that quite a few lawyers would hate it.....

I think that if SISU/Otium try to compensate for the lost revenue through cost cutting, then given our very low attendances this is likely make us relegation candidates next season. This then of course means that the club would face further income losses (away fans being a major source of...

Which was always going to be the outcome of the disastrous move to Sixfields.

But that's the whole issue - it hasn't. How much revenue have they lost to get to this position? As we oldies might say - lose a pound to save a shilling....

Talk about wishful thinking..... SISU have said that things were hurting them in the past - when it fitted their agenda. In this case it's caused by their intransigence.

Whether you call it NOPM or not, there can't be any serious doubt that the low attendances at Sixfields are having an impact. ML referenced that ACL had bled the club dry by charging £1.2m per year on rent - well, the reduction in revenue is much more painful than that.

Yep, I posted yesterday that whilst I could completely understand copying the offer to the FL (and to anyone else they could think of), it would have been more sensible to make it directly to Otium.

Sadly scraps of information and half truths seem to be all that we have to work with. For me, the issue is that Sisu/Otium's business strategy makes little or no sense if taken at face value, consequently we are left to try to work out their "true" plans using the said scraps and half truths...

Could you please ask Mr Fisher why his independent non-executive Director apparently told the Guardian that Otium valued the Ricoh at circa £4m and yet he has told us that Otium plan to build a smaller stadium (just over half the size?) for £25m? Is one of these statements incorrect, or if not...

Given that SISU are happy to spend £25m on building a circa 16-18,000 capacity stadium, logically they should have no problem in making an attractive offer to buy the 32,000 capacity Ricoh.

Bit harsh on vultures :)

Is he Trueskyblue?

Excellent and interesting. Perhaps the recent offer from ACL seeks to answer this. After all, if SISU did win the JR and then sought to pursue an additional action for damages - it would seem a pretty good defence to say - you had the option to come back rent free but chose to stay at...
