Just so long as we leave Demi Moore out of this!

Yet they can afford to pay the rent at Northampton. Yet they can afford to cut gates from last year's circa 10.5k to between 3k and 5k (I think that was TF's estimate). Yet, apparently they can afford to subsidise ticket prices and transport (or at least, so it is presumed), to achieve...

I find it very difficult to envisage a positive future for the club under its current ownership. This is particularly so because I simply cannot understand the rationale for the move to Northampton. I can see why SISU may wish to build a new stadium, but in the interim period, I cannot...

If you got that review, you could probably do a great deal for the film rights. On the wider point, I don't want to put words into your mouth, but it sounds like you're saying that if there have been odd things going on in the past, it therefore follows that the present should have a blind...

If there has been anything illegal, then proof would only be likely to come if the CVA is rejected. Given all that has happened, I think you'd have to be wilfully blind not to find it all just a little bit suspicious though.

Perhaps a better word than accusations would be insinuations. Whether you think that's better or worse is a personal judgement. I can believe that the intention of those making the comments was not to offend OSB, it was pretty clear that the intention was to try to cast doubt on his...

It's very sad that some posters on here who are clearly unable to question OSB's comments on an intellectual level, try instead to make some kind of personal attack with unfounded comments.

And none taken :)

I agree with much of that. We all know that the club is worth virtually nothing, but (in my view) if SISU decided to cut their losses and get out, there would be buyers prepared to pay something for the club. Hopefully they'll be able to "overpay" to a sufficient level to persuade SISU that...

Everyone has to make their own decision as they see fit - I would however query your comment that the easier option is sitting at home listening to the radio. Having been going to games since the late '60's, I'm going to find that very hard indeed.

Thanks for the updates - CWR reception is poor in Poland!

I think that we agree that there would be a "bounce" if we came back, I suppose what I was questioning was how significant the bounce would be and how low the starting point would be. To (hopefully) exaggerate the point, a bounce of 1,000 from a starting point of 500 wouldn't leave us in a very...

You could be right, but I'm not sure. If we're away for say 5 years (I doubt that anyone believes we'd be in a new ground in 3) there will be many people who will have simply lost the "Saturday football habit". In addition there will be a large number of youngsters who will have missed out on...

Possibly the most stupid post ever on this site - quite an achievement.

So he wasn't working for ACL. Be nice to think that there might be an apology.

Often the way - and of course in the coming season they'll be under much more pressure to get games on, with twice as many to fit in.

But they end up with either: The same net revenue that they'd have got before (i.e. if attendances at the Ricoh don't exceed the anticipated Northampton level) or More net revenue (i.e. if they do). So I can't see how any rational analysis would conclude that there is any net cost (other than...

Firstly, am I correct in assuming that you now agree that there is no (let's call it) "net cost" to Otium from Hoffman's offer? Secondly, I'd have thought that the whole point of Hoffman's offer was to help both parties engineer such a deal - a bit tricky if TF just says "No".

Depends on your definition of "no cost". As I understand it, gate revenues over a given level (that that could reasonably be expected at Northampton) would be shared 50/50 between Otium and Hoffman. Otium get to keep their half (which by definition is more than they would have expected to get...

Don't understand why you see GH's offer as "utterly redundant". Could you explain please.
