Boy, you're a ray of sunshine. I always pegged Schrodinger as a quantum physicist, which is quite close to philosophy in some places. And this particular conundrum definitely draws more towards metaphysics/epistemology than the physical science of testable hypotheses, and it's certainly of...

Noggin's plenty objective. But you're having problems because your paradigm's misaligned, mate. If you nip down to Kwik-Fit they can pop it on the ramps and sort it out for you in twenty minutes, and they'll give you a discount on your next MOT. ;) Talking of cars, Dr. Schrodinger's on his...

Wherever the loan deal was I'm sure Barton would've got paid his full salary, and would probably have been guaranteed first-team football. I think it's to his credit that he's decided to stay, work hard, and fight for a place in the side - plenty of players wouldn't. He's come back from an...

Very good point. And you'd think that if he had found something it would be the Ltd liquidation that would have been paused. Still, you never know. Maybe there's something left in this yet.

Indefinite is harsh because it's entirely at the whim of the club. It might only be for a season, or it might be for a lifetime. Typically, in law, indefinite sentences are used for the worst offences. It's considered fairer to at least let someone know when they will have served their time...

Erm... following that logic, sometimes people who break a window enter houses and end up murdering the occupants, it's rare, but it happens. Therefore the correct treatment of window-breakers is obviously a life sentence - they might just break a window, or they might murder the occupants...

Oh bless, you've illustrated your reply with a delightfully sardonic piece of imagery. I guess you win. Except that you haven't. If all clubs were obliged by law to apply indefinite bans to any and every pitch invader you'd have a point, but you know what, they're not. If you, personally...

Actually, that's not quite clear in fairness. The club weren't legally obliged to give him a ban of any kind. They could have simply let the courts deal with it. And SISU, as we've seen from other threatened court actions against fans in the form of the trust, do seem to act spitefully. So...

A lazy insult and entirely without evidence, as is usual from you Grendel. Typical of someone who can't answer a straight question but seeks instead to divert any argument in the hope that people won't notice what a fool he's made of himself. Kind of a SISU trick, now that I think of it...

Me, personally, no. I wouldn't see either a charity or the taxpayer screwed over for the benefit of any football club. (Doubly so when it's not actually necessary, as in this case.) Would you?

That logic is utterly twisted. It presupposes that you know the motives of any purchasers or potential purchasers. To you, it's all about the rent, so everything you look at is filtered through that prism. Even to the current owners it wasn't all about the rent for the first few years. It...

Ignoring the resident moronic troll, please let us know.

Hey, Grendel. Answer my question first. It's incredibly rude, answering a question with a question. You're saying the Ricoh deal put others off. Where's your evidence? It upset SISU so much that they didn't even make it an issue when they first took over - that's how much it bothered them.

Thanks for trying, at least. With regard to getting grief over admin, I don't think you can complain too much - it did screw a lot of people over, and have an impact beyond your borders. In fact, I think it was one of the reasons the original builders of the Ricoh arena pulled out - football...

Utterly specious reasoning, as usual. Your evidence for this is where exactly?

Calm down lad, all that shouting will give you a sore throat. ;) If you read this thread I think there are a number of excuses being made. From poor due dligence to it's Richardson/McGinnity/The Council's fault. Not sure I agree with that, to be honest.

Of course it's the owner's fault - who else could it possibly be? SISU knew exactly where we were at the point of taking over - there are people here who must think due diligence is rocket science. The lease and terms were by far the simplest things to see out of the whole package. Seriously...

She's almost certainly, and by her own and Fisher's admission, a 'shadow director'. I can't see any reason why she'd fail the 'Fit & Proper' test as it stands, especially as it's laughably weak and self-certifying. However, if CCFC were to go into admin again (which isn't beyond the bounds of...

I think there are any number of things we can blame the owners for, but this probably isn't one of them. It does seem a bit strange, but then footballers can be a bit dim. Did he perhaps think he could engineer a move back to his home town club after signing the loan deal? Still, if it's...

Good work mate. And agreed, Saints fans are solid, good to see them doing well.
