Yes sorry didn't manage to finish the post off as I was changing busses and added the rest just now. It seemed to me looking at the transcripts that the Sisu QC had already been told to say that and the Higgs one had to check with his clients if that was okay hence the delay.

Don't forget that the judge said that he was going to rule each side pay their own costs if they hadn't. Seems fair enough to me, although I'd like to see the legal bills on both sides and know that the Sisu one isn't being added to the club debt mountain.

Yep I'd never heard that before either.

Just a shame he can't keep his hands off our players from up in Yorkshire. Best of luck to Murphy next season - now we need a new good keeper (no offence to Burge) to help with our leaky defence.

Yeah it may take me that long at this rate given the fact that I have to go back to work tomorrow and the interruptions today ;) I don't understand where the Sisu QC says (bottom of page 96 - sorry I can't quote directly) had the council been open with them, SISU would have ceased to fund the...

I'm only up to the bit on day one where we hear Sisu mentioned Insolvency as an option for the club (pages 90/91) so trying not to read ahead on here.

Well yeah depending on the interest rate the YB were thinking of charging for that amount. If they were along the lines of wonga rates......

I thought that Sisu had agreed the £5.5m with the Higgs and they didn't go back on their word. It was the way Sisu offered to pay was the sticking point for that offer. The fact that the Higgs weren't keen on only taking a fifth of the money upfront and the rest later on in installments was...

Yeah I can go along with that or the footfall suggested above.

I do find it odd that we were only renting the place for at most 30 days a year and yet we were the anchor tenant. Is this awarded on space rented, profile of the tenant, length of lease? I suppose we were also renting the 'dingey' offices as well but even then we would hardly be using as much...

Not 100% sure about that either way given the people who have been saying that the Higgs share wouldn't be able to get Pie Money until the ACL debt is paid. Would giving (the F&B) revenue to a tenant be more acceptable legally than the apparent no-no of paying a dividend before the debt is paid off?

In the post he says this: Which to me means actual money not just cross invoicing, but I could be wrong.

According to a post by PWKH from last year the Pie Money was included in at least one offer to Sisu and it was rejected. Now assuming that is correct you have to wonder what it was that they didn't like in the rest of the offer. He also seems to be suggesting that buying the Higgs share would...

General Secretary of the UN. :) Because getting the UN involved normally solves all disputes.

In my opinion it would seem to me to be obvious that the council weren't going to do any meetings before the Judicial Review and whether it was Byng and Mr Labovitch, Bob Geldof and Mr Labovitch, Ban Ki-moon and Mr Labovitch etc. trying wouldn't have mattered. They initiated the Judicial Review...

When going to the Boro cup replay away I met a Sunderland fan who came close to punching my lights out when he worked out I supported City. The connecting train turned up at the right moment and I made my escape. That's the magic of the cup.

When have us fans ever mattered?

I thought and I may have the wrong end of the stick given my head feels like it's full of cotton wool.....but was that figure referring to 2006 i.e. just after we moved to the Ricoh.

Yes Mythbusters did it.
