I don't suppose too many people will fall over with shock......:p

I agree with the above, but my hope is that the underestimation may be on SISU's side. Close down/liquidate the average company and you'll get some grief from the employees, perhaps a union if one exists, maybe a few suppliers - however a football club isn't the average company (in so many...

Reasoning? Are you suggesting that SISU would prefer to liquidate rather than agree another bid that might give them "a couple of million"?

I have sympathy for many of your comments. In my view you're one of the more thoughtful posters on the site, so it is a little disappointing when you seem to (in my view) turn your fire on the wrong targets. I'm a great believer in exploring arguments and playing Devil's Advocate, but...

I think that the phrase that I would use is "substance over form".

I understand that you like to swim against the tide - and that is often a very valid approach. Sometimes however, you need to be able to spot when swimming with the tide might be the right thing to do.

That's a fair comment - but only if you ignore what has gone before, in terms of the relative credibility of the parties involved. However - alls well that ends well, which is more than can be said for the more general picture with our club........

So Lord, has your view now changed?

So that's a no then. Don't blame you - I doubt you'd be very successful at putting over your point of view.

I suggest that you attend their first match of next season and explain that to their supporters.

I'm afraid you can't guarantee it, because it won't happen. I'll go to away league games only and even if we draw Brazil in the FA Cup, I won't be attending. P.S. I know that Brazil don't enter the FA Cup, but it's more likely than SISU/Otium building us a new ground within three years!

He did sound - how can I put this gently - an interesting chap.

Why would we pay £1.2m rent when the landlord offered to reduce it to £400k? Wouldn't that be a bit odd?

Don't want to misrepresent what you're saying - but is it that you believe that SISU (to use a generic term for the companies) have made all reasonable efforts to pay the Higgs all amounts that are reasonably due, but that the Higgs are/have manufactured spurious reasons to avoid receiving the...

Lucky that the majority of our fans are based in London then! :p

Can't be a surprise to you MMM....

I'm not sure what the regulations are on this, but I think you're correct that the probable size of the travelling support and the related safety issues would influence the "starting position".

Agreed - it was when he was asked in one of the forums "why won't SISU sell" and he said "it would be madness to sell at the bottom of the business cycle". I struggle to understand many of SISU's statements and actions, but if they really think that last month was the bottom of the business...

So, it's as many away games as I can persuade the wife to agree to! :)

Something almost unheard of on this forum! :D
