Whomever he wants to, I'm sure. At the risk of taking this off-topic, I'm going to be straight here. Les Reid strikes me as a decent bloke and an honest journalist, and if he's been chucked off the story or bounced out of the CET for holding an opinion different to mine, the editor's, or...

I'm thinking that's a 'library' photo. Surely there are no trees in Birmingham? ;) Regardless, I don't really care what JS looks like... honest.

They don't control ACL though do they? They've got a 50% shareholding, and a couple of seats on the board. Regardless, I'd rather all of the sides were completely open and disavowed PR companies (and also World Peace and a bigger salary), but I don't think there's much chance of that at the...

You're angling for an interview again aren't you? I think they should give you your own show, at least then I could turn you off. ;) (I'm kidding here btw, but I can't resist the chance to recycle an old joke).

An iconic owner who leads from the front? Rubbish. Is she even listed as a director for any of the companies relating to CCFC? She pulls the strings, of that there's no doubt, but for most of the time that SISU have been at CCFC she's avoided being linked with the club as much as possible...

I'm not sure it proves that ACL isn't viable - but I think it's shown that this has all been about distressing ACL, wouldn't you agree?

If I agreed with nothing else, I'd say this is beyond dispute.

FP, I'm impressed. You've been reading up. Stay warmed up, I reckon you'll be coming on for the hungry bloke at around sixty minutes, the judge has got his card marked. ;) https://www.gov.uk/state-aid#de-minimis-aid-regulations

But that was a nil-all draw. Surely this one will get better in the second half. An early goal from the Council will mean that SISU will have to come out and attack and that might leave things open at the back. I also sense that the ref is getting a bit unhappy with one of the SISU QC's - if...

Can you be thrown out, locked up, for intestinal rumbling? Dangerous times! It sounds like the Judge really has got it in for that particular QC, do you think he ran over his dog? Time for a gratuitous Simpsons quote, I feel... Hutz: No don't you worry Mrs. Simpson, I-Uh-oh. We've drawn...

Has he got a bag big enough to hold a smoking gun? I'm waiting for the big reveal... :)

I want the whole place knocking down and the scrapyards back. Where can I get a spare headlight for my Cortina now? Also, I have nowhere to park my caravan. ;) Edit: Added smiley, for clarity.

I'm in. When do we march on the Council House? ;)

After analysing all this in great detail, I've come to this conclusion.... I'm going to let the Judge decide. ;)

You're supposed to be paying attention in there mate. How can we give you a kicking if you're just going to talk about cricket all day. ;)

Wire brush and dettol, that'll sort it out. ;)

50% of ACL and one would presume scope to influence its future direction and growth, the rent & charges, and access to income streams from that business.

Was that ever established? I thought the formula price was actually around £6.5m. Regardless, it looks like Higgs were prepared to accept £5m, but not on SISU's delayed payments terms. It's a pity SISU didn't start negotiating about it from the off in 2007, imho, instead of gambling on...

Spot on. Couldn't agree more. Fwiw, I do get a sense that fans (including myself here) are beginning to see this now.

Hi Lord, Count here. ;) I think it's pretty well established that there was always the option for CCFC Ltd to buy the Higgs share at a formula price. For whatever reason, SISU chose not to exercise the option... (Please don't make me google it though, I'm knackered. For once, just trust me...
