Yep, think that's answered here, the sliding scale offer.. http://www.skybluetrust.co.uk/index.php/component/content/article/1-latest-news/227-full-version-of-qaa-to-acl-and-ccfc I guess you're too busy to answer the other points, or maybe you just haven't given them too much thought...

Politely, I think there are a few flaws in your argument. First off, from everything I've read the rent wasn't an issue when the club first moved to the Ricoh - this wasn't an unreasonable deal done at gunpoint, there was a lot of communication between the boards of ACL and CCFC at the time and...

Tremendous bit of work this. I don't know why the paper hasn't looked into this properly, or at least asked Fisher for an explanation, given that he's been signing off the accounts. Fisher is actually on record saying that he could explain everything, and yet it seems that no one with a bit of...

Is just me, or does this article basically read as a crappy bit of SISU PR saying, "We still don't have a stadium, or even a plausible plan for one. Nothing's really moved on any of the sites that we were really, really close to buying a few months ago. We're still definitely going to build a...

Yep, it's hilarious. As is lots of fictional comedy based on a ludicrous premise, in this case the idea that if 8,000 fans turned up at Northampton every week we'd be back in Coventry within a year through our owner's good graces.

To the OP and RFC - if you want to go, then go. No need to have a pop at those that can't or won't bring themselves to do it. If you really believe that the vast majority of stay-away fans aren't putting pressure on our owners though, then I think that you're kidding yourself. Are you sure...

With the small difference that they're at least Cov fans, and Joe at least has put his own money into the club rather than siphoning cash out of it. JE may or may not be misguided, and backing SISU turned out to be a mistake, given. But comparing him in any way to Fisher, who has been caught...

And the blog is a good read, and I agree with most of the points in it, fwiw. But I'm a bit tired of all this scab/pathetic/muppet shite to be honest, and I think it deserves challenge when it pops up. Just because someone has got a different view to you (me too, for that matter) doesn't make...

Just to be clear, it's not ACL defending this action, it will be Cov CC. They've got their own legal department, I believe, and very deep pockets. I don't think they'll be distressed into giving up on defending this JR, given what's in play. If SISU lose, again, they'll likely have to pay the...

Yep, although I don't necessarily agree with it I don't think we want to go down the road of calling any protest, be it against Cov CC or ACL or SISU, pathetic. People are entitled to stick up for their opinions.

Yep, good point, although it assumes that the £60m they claim to have already lost on CCFC is really the truth. I'm not entirely convinced it is, but it certainly begs the question.

That article's a bit more like it, imho. My only question is, do SISU really have £30-£40m to plough into the club to buy a ground and fund the losses at Northampton, or are they bluffing? Personal opinion, they've got nothing like this sort of money available to them, and if they can't get...

Spot on. It's why I don't quite understand the point of lobbying the council at the moment. I can't see how SISU won't move away from their position of non-negotiation if the JR goes against them, and they find themselves having to find £25m for a smaller, poorer stadium. It seems that the...

Absolutely - it's a worst-case valuation, and I think done at a time when ACL were under the most pressure. To suggest it as the current value of ACL, or indeed as the Ricoh in total iincluding freehold is simply wrong, imho.

I've got a lot of time for Les Reid, but I think he's wrong here and I worry that his opinion is beginning to bias his coverage. To me, the documents that BA provided proved that SISU did not tell the FL the truth. They also suggest that Appleton didn't do a very good job of finding out all of...

Surely if Mark Robins had sky blue blood he'd have been stood on the hill? (I'm just saying this to wind up torchy btw, wait for the bite). ;)

Then don't fall off your chair, but I'd tend to agree with you. I can understand why people don't want to sell to SISU, but to be honest I'm not looking at this from the football club's point as much as the taxpayer. If the taxpayer can get out without a loss, I don't think it matters who they...

So you are saying that the taxpayer shouldn't lose out so that SISU can benefit then? I'm thinking that figure would be at least £24m: £14m for the mortgage, and £10m for the grant (and possibly a bit more for all of the related works around the site). But of course the freehold doesn't give...

And I gave you my answer. Where's yours?

A rental deal's not going to happen at the moment, according to SISU. But do you think they might change tack when they realise the game's up in terms of getting the Ricoh on the cheap, and they're still getting pounded by losses at Northampton (and a new stadium will mean they have to find...
