    Sky Blues return is "essential" for businesses to survive

    The appeal would probably count as a legal action wouldn't it? If ACL can survive without our club and don't need the cash that we would bring by a return because other weekend events cover it, where does that leave us. Let's be clear ACL are a private company, don't have to take us back and if...

    We Took The Ricoh for Granted

    Yeah I thought it was the final demise of Ltd that killed it off too. We don't know for certain that the formation of IEC killed off our ability to get the Pie Money back with the share, there could be provisions. I guess the only way we'd find out is if PWKH made a comment from the Higgs side...

    We Took The Ricoh for Granted

    Never understood how the club board couldn't have known when Sir Higgs was on the board. Thanks for the Joy quote. Would be interested to know exactly when IEC was formed, whether there was a clause regarding the pie money and when the option finally lapsed. As I understand it if we owed...

    We Took The Ricoh for Granted

    I'm going on what Joy said in the interview with Les R, where she said something along the lines of* the club didn't know that it was signing over the Pie Money when they sold the share to the Higgs. To me that implies that the Pie Money rights went hand in hand with the club share that we sold...

    We Took The Ricoh for Granted

    So basically 'we' don't know for definite, but Joy might, as might the Higgs but they might well not be saying anything because of the ongoing legal stuff. However if the rights are all now sewn up in IEC it reinforces the stupidity of not buying the share back sooner, before the creation of IEC.

    Sky Sports saying Tudgay has signed

    If he can knock goals in, we win matches because of it and he doesn't break the rather limited bank then that's good enough for me.

    We Took The Ricoh for Granted

    If there genuinely is no benefit to owning ½ of ACL then it makes the offer by Joy to buy it from the Higgs even more puzzling. Why offer so much money when it would be of no benefit, that doesn't make sense the last offer was for over two million wasn't it.Are you 100% certain that the rights...

    Appeal Decision?

    The problem for me isn't ACL it is the fact that Sisu took so long to put an offer in for the Higgs share of ACL. It seemed to me that the obvious thing when looking at our club was the fact that we had sold our stake in the stadium management company and with it the Pie Money*. The hope for me...

    I was going to say I thought there must be something like that available.

    Yes that could happen but as my Religious Education teacher once said "That's democracy and that's why it's important to vote" . It was actually a reference to Thatcher and Major more than anything else but it stuck with me.

    Never thought much of Columbo as there wasn't any mystery as a viewer, cos you knew whodunit cos you watched them do it. Murder She Wrote was better but if you watched any scenes at Cabot Cove dock/marina they're using the same set as Jaws...

    He sounds too good to be true, hope he isn't and we sign him.

    ricoh rumour !!!!

    We have a stock take every quarter, once a year would be nice. In any event a move doesn't guarantee it's to the Ricoh it could just be to other premises. Insert your own joke about rent and moving to another county here.

    Appeal Decision?

    If someone had edited your post (other than you in the short space of time where your edit wouldn't register) then the software would show your post has been edited and by who. This isn't something that we can stop from happening so if I or any other moderator including Nick have edited a post...

    Appeal Decision?

    On this I would partially agree with you, as I'd argue that Brian Richardson was possibly the worst majority shareholder we've had but even he didn't move us to another county. Don't forget that everyone who had shares in our club was a part owner of the club, those same people who Saint Joe of...

    Appeal Decision?

    So you went into the Judicial Review with a predetermined outcome that you wanted to see, rather than an open mind? The judge has vastly more legal experience than me, (I suspect but correct me if I'm wrong) you and Tim Fisher etc. which is why I was happy to accept his decision. What...

    Appeal Decision?

    I as I have said for quite a while now am interested in the facts of our sorry state and how we got here. I normally put links or references to the information that I refer to if I can for transparency and if I do have an entrenched position it is that of wanting to find out the truth. You seem...
