    Was it or wasn't it?

    That's the £14m question, I guess we won't know the truth until either the council come out and say it's true or Tim produces the signed deals he claims to have. I'm prepared to give SISU the benefit of the doubt but I really will need to see some evidence before I believe that it's 100% true.

    Was it or wasn't it?

    And also unconfirmed of course by the council.

    Was it or wasn't it?

    At least one side are keeping us informed of what is going on, unlike our owners who are still looking at the sites for the new stadium. I really hope that Mr Waggot and the Higgs can sort out the Academy being at the Higgs Centre and as quickly as possible. I guess the best news is there are...

    Yes it is self inflicted but given the apparent unwillingness of Joy to bring us back unless she has the freehold at supposedly her price which is apparently too low for the council, we're therefore homeless.

    We're homeless at the moment.

    Was it or wasn't it?

    Does anyone know if Otium could have taken the offer up outside of the CVA and kept us in Coventry? The offer wouldn't have had to be part of the CVA meeting someone just says to Mr Labovitch before the meeting that the rent was obviously too high and so we're willing to drop the rent to 150k...

    Was it or wasn't it?

    True but then ACL have six directors two of whom are independent of the other shareholders, two are from the Higgs, plus the council bods. So the council only have a third of the votes round the board table which hardly gives them a majority when it comes to voting on decisions. Do/did the...

    Fisher : CCFC would not own Ricoh Areana if Otium bought the freehold

    Well that's the one the owners of/people running our club have made, Plan A is a new stadium. Now you might not like that but they own the club and can do what they like subject to the FA and FL rules (including bending them). Now you may say that this isn't a very mature argument for the long...

    Inside the ricoh

    I thought the offer was to the administrator who at that time had all the assets? I may be wrong on that and I'm obviously happy to be corrected.

    Away Ticket Update FYI

    Thought that they had to offer a certain percentage of the tickets to the away supporters? Had a tour of Milton Keynes town years ago coming back after a home match. Going to a party afterwards in Leighton Buzzard I jumped on a train from Cov and ended up in Milton Keynes as there was...

    Trust meeting with ACL

    Okay I see that, so basically as I understand it we're safe until the liquidator finishes and then we have to hope that Sisu/Otium pay up. Sadly going by past performance this could be the tricky part.

    Trust meeting with ACL

    Sorry I did skim read it however I'm not suggesting that they won't pay, merely that there must have been a time limit imposed when we were handed the Golden Share back?. If there isn't then SISU/Otium could just keep saying we'll pay tomorrow and never actually do it whilst the intent to pay is...

    Trust meeting with ACL

    But weren't we granted the Golden Share by the authorities on the basis that ACL would get their money - and is there a danger therefore that they'll take it away from us if it isn't paid? Or are they just being toothless again?

    Fisher : CCFC would not own Ricoh Areana if Otium bought the freehold

    Wait you appear to be suggesting that anyone wanting to buy the club would be "mentalists" for doing so with the stadium unattached to the club. Isn't that what SISU did, they bought the club without the stadium? Admittedly they did have the option to buy the Higgs share at that point but now...

    I went today

    If there was a like button on the mobile your post would be liked. Slightly surprised they haven't banned customers own food to boost the F&B revenue.

    Notts County Match Thread

    This is better than the BBC live text thanks for the commentary.

    What's happened to Timmy ?

    Can't see his kids saying Daddy daddy please move the club to Northampton please or Mrs Fisher saying I've always wanted to see Sixfields in the Autumn. Tim however as you say seems to be happy with the fans disquiet at the situation and is to my mind fair game for criticism as he moved us out...

    What's happened to Timmy ?

    I can't agree with anybody making threats made against his family - that's bang out of order. Why would you blame them for what their dad/husband did, they're innocent in all this?
