I'm still at a bit confused here as to why people like Nick seem to think the Higgs charity should be obliged to sell their shares for a loss. There still seems to be the argument that they bought the share in expectation of realising a substantial profit, and therefore the downside is that...

Grendel's the slavish obsessive here, which is why I ignore him. Everything for him is about the council. I'm guessing he went to the toilet once and they didn't come round to flush it for him. Or he's just a troll - because as soon as he gets challenged for evidence he throws out a couple...

Which one mate, specifically? The only email read in court from Chris West regarding PR and SISU related to Jan 2013 as I've said. Which one were you talking about, where's your evidence. I haven't mentioned SISU and a likely rent - we're obviously going be on the end of pretty high...

I've got one you and ML might like. Smoke. Fire. In other words, there isn't actually any evidence of a Chris West PR campaign against SISU? And certainly not a current one. Or indeed of the somewhat risible idea that ACL could in some way distress SISU from thirty-five miles away and without...

Hey, why so mean? Everyone deserves a 22nd chance, that's what I say. ;)

The only talk of Chris West and PR relating to SISU in the Higgs trial was back in Jan 2013, as far as I can find any mention of it. Obviously this was after SISU caused ACL direct financial damage by withholding payment of a lawful debt. If you don't pay your debts, and you end up in court...

Good point. It does seem strange that. But not as worrying as the fact that we still haven't got a picture of JS. For God's sake Torchy, can't you focus on the important stuff for once. ;)

Completely disagree - but it is an excellent retort, I'll give you that. ;) I wonder if MK's usual room is available.

ACL may indeed have fancied a new owner once the Administration process started - but once again it's obvious that there's no mechanism for that to happen if SISU pay the bills, or indeed negotiate in good faith. There were plenty of chances to sort this way before it got into Appleton's hands...

I'm sorry, in what way are ACL or CCC trying to distress SISU?

There is mate. Drop the plan to distress ACL in the hope of picking up the whole thing on the cheap, and bring the club back to the Ricoh. In itself this will make the club a few million quid next season and rebuild a few bridges. Once there, start negotiating in good faith, perhaps along the...

There's been plenty of chat about the football before, during, and even after the season. However this particular thread is talking about the court stuff. Some of us see that as more important than any single game or player, perhaps. If you don't, fair enough. Feel free to ignore the thread...

Exactly that. There's a big difference between the grinding down of individuals and private companies with the threats and pressure of expensive legal action, and to trying to do it against public bodies like the council. Fundamentally they've taken on someone with deep enough pockets to see...

Rubbish. Supporting the Council against SISU in this has nothing to do with wanting the club to fail. In fact from where I'm standing it's completely the opposite. If the JR fails SISU face some hard choices: Stick it out at Northampton whilst losing a stack of money and build the new stadium...

I'd have to be pissed (as a rat) to write 110 pages in the first place, though in fairness if I could pad it out with illustrations I'd have a chance. I wouldn't do any horses though, I'm crap at drawing horses. ;) Talking of which, two rats in a sewer. First rat says, "Sh*t, sh*t, sh*t...

In fairness at the point of the original application for the JR it was reported that the Council wanted as early a court date as possible. From reading Simon Gilbert's tweets the SISU QC seems to be pushing for the same. I think both sides want this to get in front of a judge, which perhaps...

This is a really great post. I don't always agree with Torchy, but he's spot on here, imho. It's not for me or anyone else to tell him that he should or shouldn't go to Sixfields, and I respect his reasons for the choice that he's made. In saying that it is my honest belief that one of the...

OK, apologies. You're not a complete tit, accepted. ;)

It is an important law, agreed. In truth though, and in fairness to Nick, I'm not sure that I'd want to trust it if my job was on the line. Too many grey areas, imho. There are plenty of ways of leaking stuff out without endangering your job though, if you're clever. Could it be possible...

Erm... I don't have any 'mates' at the council. I make my judgements based on evidence, and I try to explain myself. Sometimes you come across as a reasonable bloke, sometimes you come over as a complete tit. This is one of the latter. Let's cut the bullshit here for one moment. Let's say...
