Don't knock it - it's something to put in the trophy room! That reminds me, where is the trophy room?

I think SISUs PR may have been taken in-house as a cost-cutting measure - it is now a couple of interns posting on internet forums.

What investors' money? The hedge fund? I don't know its parameters for investment, but I doubt if they stretch to paying the administration and legal costs of another company controlled by the fund manager. And I presume the bit about the 'whatever the cost' investor backing was tongue in cheek...

Not an unreasonable scenario, OSB. But do you think that SISU have the money to finance this long-term? The money for the administrator's fees, legal costs and PR fees has to be found somewhere - is there enough in the various holdings companies? These companies also have to find wages etc. and...

I got a copy of this a few years ago (from somebody on the old GMK I think) along with a few other titbits. My first game was 1958/59 season, but I was very young and can't remember who it was or even what the score was. I was taken to a couple of games that season and I think one of them must...

Thank you and I must apologise for describing the charges as rent earlier. As to your last question, I think it is a sad fact of life that some people do adopt unsustainable arguments and to back up those arguments they will obfuscate and invent 'facts'. In life outside of the internet, they...

You seem to be conveniently forgetting that ACL already have a better deal in place to finance its debt. As a result of the refinancing, the £400k a year rent is the shortfall that ACL would now have to overcome, so I would expect them to be showing a reduced profit, rather than a loss, until...

What if the Football League decide that they will not allow the club to regain the Golden Share while SISU play any part in running the club? Game over.

James, you are quite right about Doncaster council losing over £300k per year on the Keepmoat stadium and this was despite a contribution of £281k per year from Rovers and all income from naming rights, catering, advertising etc. So without the contribution from Rovers, the losses would have...

I completely agree. I don't usually get into arguments with this kind, but I felt I had to point out what a mean and grasping individual he was. I notice that he has edited his initial response to avoid looking a complete and utter idiot.

So, you would be quite happy for the Higgs Charity to not recover one penny of the money they put in to support the club? This about sums up the grasping attitude of the current owners - thankfully, most other fans have a more generous nature when considering their own welfare against that of...

According to a friend of mine who supports Charlton, Fisher was never an employee of the club. He was commissioned, in a great fanfare of publicity, by the chairman to find a buyer. This was most likely, however, to bring pressure on the group that eventually bought the club and who were...

This was his first job in football and, with his record here, will undoubtedly be his last.

Followed quickly by Holdings being put into administration, perhaps?

Quiet in Red Place today obviously.

Probably is. ACL, no doubt, have had to inform the RWC organisers that there is no guarantee that there will be a pitch/stadium there in two years time.

If this is the best reason for a judicial review that SISU can come up with, then I doubt if the judge will ask for evidence. It will just be tossed, as are the vast majority of requests for judicial review.

As you are flinging awards for misuse of the language about, how about giving one to yourself. BHSB is an initialism not an acronym.

Reported yes, but not put forward to justify a judicial review.

It should be remembered that this is not a court action, this is a request for a judicial review. A judge has been asked to rule if there might be a case that in making the decision to take on the ACL mortgage, the council has exceeded its powers. What the Telegraph report is a rather...
