Apart from the fact I've never watched Jeremy Kyle (honest!) the problem with this is that we're never going to get to the whole truth and it will take forever. We don't have forever, and I don't need 'closure'. ;) Confession: I met TF briefly on Thursday, after the trial, and although we...

On this one bit, Godiva, there was evidence presented in the Higgs case that suggests you are incorrect. There was an email quoted from (as I recall) PKWH and someone at ACL the council saying that they were very unhappy to learn that SISU had approached YB unilaterally, not long after the Road...

Well that's still true, isn't it? I think the QC quoted here is making the point that the £10k/game wasn't rent, it was matchday costs. Whilst SISU of course have been claiming that it was rent. Do you think that if ACL threatened to lock CCFC out we really wouldn't have heard about it via...

I think that's American Football rather than proper football, but I know there's been discussion about this elsewhere. I found this, fwiw... http://www.headball.com/hazards.html Certainly during Jimmy's playing era, balls would've been much heavier. If I took a lesson from the above, I think...

You are Geoffrey Boycott and I claim my five pounds. You should never ask a man if he's from Yorkshire. If he is, he'll tell you, and if he isn't, why embarrass him. :)

I was thinking, 1GK, 2CB, 2FB, 1DM, 1AM, 1RM, 1LM, 2 strikers. And a new set of owners, please. ;)

Pity he's gone. I wasn't convinced about him at first, but he's really won me over in all honesty. I'm not sure the club have handled this brilliantly, because I think there was a chance of him staying if we'd offered him a contract before the end of the season, but regardless it's done now...

They're never going to agree on what's gone on. The one indisputable fact is that SISU stopped paying the rent and moved the club to Northampton. What's gone on around that - well we've had two court cases, plus an administration, and I still don't think it's clear. My personal opinion is...

Isn't there also stuff in there that points out that YB were willing to lend £15.5 million on a restructured deal to ACL? I think it's largely accepted that without the club ACL will struggle - which I guess was at least in part the point of the bail-out. It's also clear, isn't it, that at...

In fairness ACL let CCFC play there indefinitely without paying rent. As we've seen the sanction for not paying the rent was to go to court for a third party debt order, and then administration, this rather than cancelling the lease and licence to play. Neither of those of necessity forced the...

I don't think you're going to get access to revenue streams right off the bat because that's going to be a complex negotiation, but I'd agree the rental deal will have to include a commitment to serious discussions from ACL & CCC about how these can be opened up to the club, otherwise there's...

Unless it's your sister. And you're from Leicester. ;)

ffs!

Not been, but I'd recommend Burton Dassett. £1.50 to park, and massive hills for them to climb up and roll down, hence they're completely knackered by the time they get home and I can watch the football in peace in the evening. You owe me a pint. :)

Mate, he didn't say anything illegal - or even as I can recall particularly rude. I fell out with him on twitter too, but I don't remember him calling me names. Anyway, agreed, an argument for a different place perhaps.

Do you have to pay to get into the Herbert? I'm sure I'd never have gone if you did. I think you probably went into McDonalds by mistake. ;)

Do the Council/ACL QC's get to rebut SISU's rebuttal? This could go on a while yet.

Cuts both ways that, Godiva, but I'd have to admit that's a favourite quote of mine too. :)

In truth shmeee, it outlines who he's worked for and says. "My view". Since when did we get the right to sack people (if that is what's been done) because they got into rows on twitter?

I think in fairness that if your twitter feed says something like, this is personal and my opinion not my employer's, then I can't see why you're not allowed to engage with people on your own terms rather than that of your employers. Twitter, imho, is a terrible forum for debate anyway. You're...
