Acceptable offers?? We understand that Hoffman's previous offer was £1. Since that time, according to TF, SISU have "invested" many more millions into the club and are now left with a business that, again according to TF, would have to be put into liquidation in the absence of a better rent...

So just to be clear... Given that at the moment we appear to be left with either the continuance of SISU, or the possibility of a takeover by Hoffman et al, am I correct in thinking that your preference would be to keep SISU?

5 years ago?? Are you quite sure there wasn't anything more recent that you might have overlooked??? :whistle::whistle:

That would be odd, wouldn't it! :whistle:

Because if you believe what SISU say, the company in administration is a non-trading subsidiary that only has "property assets", on that basis it should be pretty straightforward.

I'm yet to be convinced by Pressley, but he certainly deserves credit for that.

I'm no expert on administration, so I'm happy to be corrected by someone who is - however, my understanding was that the May Court date for the administrator to report back was the latest deadline for him to do this, not the first day that he was able to "do anything". Some administrations are...

Marvellous rant and all that, but (rashly) assuming that it was meant to be a serious post, could you please explain why the SBT having a place on the Board would "deny a position to someone who could either inject money OR is more likely to have knowledge / access to people with real money who...

And to think I used to reckon that Grendel didn't have a sense of humour :D

I'd accept that your approach has always been to support the club - and by implication - whoever is owning/running it. I respect that, but differ from you in that I supported SISU until their behaviour became such that I could no longer see a positive future for the club with them at the...

It's all down to a sense of proportion. Personally I think the balloon tying was a bit silly given the current state of play - however some people seem to give it a sense of importance (often expressed with a slightly worrying degree of outrage) that I simply don't understand. Hence my...

I agree that our club has been made to look stupid, but in my view it's got nothing to do with balloons.... Putting a "non-trading subsidiary" into administration - this being the same company that was the trading company in the last set of filed accounts Filing accounts late on a regular...

Yes, I think it was a Friday night game against Southampton, just before Xmas 2000.

For some strange reason, a phrase about pots and kettles debating which one is the darker colour popped into my mind when I read this........

That's what I was trying to point out. This site has had an outbreak of "precious holier than thouness" (yes, I did make up that phrase) today. Someone reacts to criticism and it's all "ooooh, why so sensitive" Someone ties a balloon to a car and they get more stick than North Korea...

True - on the basis of a number of posts on this site over a long period, there are people who have no idea how corporate governance operates and so come out with rather silly sweeping statements. If I was on the end of such comments would I be a bit peeved? Reckon so!

Can we keep that quote ready to be accessed the next time a poster is criticised on here and goes into a rant :)

We're all speculating here, so here goes my attempt.... I don't think even SISU are thick skinned enough to expect even a substantial chunk of their money back - money that has produced no return for the company it was put into. I would guess that they would ask for more than any rational...

Speaking for myself, I gave them a chance until their behaviour showed me that they no longer deserved it. I can't speak for GH, but my guess is that his reasoning was similar and was probably reinforced by "promises" (business plans, strategies etc) given to him when he joined.

You speak to the owners if you believe they are (seems appropriate to quote Mrs T on her funeral day) "people you can do business with". It seems clear that whatever the rights and wrongs of the situation, there are a number of people who do not believe that our owners fall into that category.
