I'm not sure I want to have this debate again! It is SISU who have constantly bought up the fact that the council walked away from the deal, it was very much the basis of JS's complaints in the recent interview (and many times previously by TF). Yes, it did all take place during the rent...

It's an excellent charity. Done a bit of fundraising for them in the past.

What, last December? Bottom line is, that deal would have seen ACL debt free, and the council would have retained 100% ownership of the freehold and 50% of ACL. How that was not a good deal for the council I'll never know.

I don't disagree, but then SISU did agree to buy the Higgs share. Why that deal was not allowed to go through amazes me. Just think how different things would be now if it had. But then I'm not allowed to blame the council for that, people will start calling me names. Of course, why they are...

I don't see the contradiction at all here. It should also be pointed out that when Wimbledon played MK Dons last season, they took thousands. Surely, if any set of fans were going to boycott the place it would have been them? But they didn't, because they have moved on. And yet we are now...

People seem to miss the point. It is certainly true that it is not necessary to own the freehold, or even the leasehold if you have a rental agreement in place that is fair and which enables the club to manage the venue. We fell into none of those categories however. We had use of the stadium...

Indeed, but that doesn't escape the fact that the legal action was a massive error of judgement. It made no sense and the whole thing reeked of incompetence.

The bottom line, regardless of how you feel about NTFC agreeing to the ground share (and I understand the ill-feeling about that), is that the legal action was a joke, and it clearly had no legal merit from the outset. What a colossal waste of time, and I fully understand the strongly worded...

1000 tickets sold 3 weeks ahead of the game is poor? Since when? Agree about the website, not had a single issue since the upgrade.

It's what they always give. Was the same in the Prem.

Sounds like I was very lucky. Mine was mainly cash-flow and the fact I lost a big contract, but it was relatively straight forward and I can manage the debts comfortably. Really feel for MMM - when you lose everything like that it must be heart-breaking but full marks for moving on and being...

Web design. Not worth worrying about. It didn't work out so will go back to working for someone else. Didn't leave any big debts though and I used sub-contractors who were all paid up, so I can sleep at night! Thanks for the good wishes anyway (and also DTD & MMM).

To be fair, I was winging it a bit on my second point. I've never been particularly clued up on these matters. It's probably why my business has just gone under (that and the fact I spend most of my day on SBT talking shizzle).

Morning Ash! I seem to have, yet again, got myself involved in one of these silly and divisive discussions. And with MMM too, who I suspect is probably a good deal cleverer than me, so it is bound to end badly. I don't know why I keep doing it!

If the accusation is that they show disregard for the authority of the organisations and institutions mentioned, then I would agree, and I'm not here to defend the way in which SISU conduct business. I was answering the suggestion that they somehow exert influence over these bodies, because...

Give me strength. This sort of conspiratorial guff is up there with Planet X, faked moon landings and shape-shifting lizard people. It is embarrassing.

There are 400 left for Stevenage I was told. Wolves looks like it might sell out today.

Of course he is, he's a lawyer. That doesn't mean he has acted illegally or has been in any way negligent. Why would his risk his reputation and career to serves the interests of one client? It is nonsense.

He doesn't need to. Only an idiot would claim they have court officials and the Inland Revenue in their pockets. The FL may have acted out of fear of litigation, but as for the others, behave yourself.

It was an incredibly naive statement.
