You're missing the point he made entirely. The suggestion from some quarters is that the administrator was SISU appointed and therefore a SISU 'plant' with an agenda. As you say yourself, the administrator has a responsibility to the creditors, first secured and then unsecured and so on. That...

What sort of gates do Leamington get? A real shame they were without a club for so long.

It was pretty obvious at the time. I mean, if there was one set of fans sure not to disrespect the memories of those that died in the blitz, it was West Ham. They're from the East End of London ffs!

This page shows our average attendances going back pretty much forever: http://www.european-football-statistics.co.uk/attnclub/covc.htm This season is our lowest average since 1983, and second lowest since 1962. That happened on SISU's watch, there is no denying that. Gates fluctuate and go...

I remember an incident sometime around the mid to late 80s. Was sat in the Sky Blue Terrace and late in the game there was a big crash from behind. Some old fella has come crashing down the steps of the Sky Blue Stand as he was leaving and was in a heap on the top of the stairwell. Blood...

The worse thing about the Pompey incident is that a lot of City fans got caught up in it were not troublemakers by nature and were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. What are you meant to do when you are attacked? I still have a scar to this day - and I am grateful I got injured...

Agree, the Higgs share will be handed over on a plate pretty much. I don't know why the council wouldn't be keen to sell, as long as they were confident the buyers were competent and had good intentions why wouldn't they? You'd have thought they'd want rid of the headache, and they'd still own...

The 'Huckerby' and 'Backing Strachan' songs had to be in contravention of taste and decency laws in at least 30 countries where people had access to CD players. How did that great lyric go? 'Huckerby, huckerby catch him if you can, huckerby huckerby Darren is your man'. I remember having a...

Things we have learned from this thread: 1. The lunatics, if they haven't taken over already, are poised to hoist the flag of insanity high above Sky Blue Towers any moment now. 2. Sky Blue Kid is a shmuck (or schmuck) depending on preference (mine being with a 'c' because it required the use...

You seem to say this with absolute certainty. How so? When you say on relegation the share was reissued to CCFC Ltd - was that in name only or was it clearly defined by the company reg number? If it was then there would be no doubt and the GS issue wouldn't be an issue at all. This...

I get a woman in to do my typing for me. She's not a Mormon though, at least as far as I know but I might have to stick some probes into her to be sure.

Does the paranoia really run that deep? Are we suggesting this is now a Mormon conspiracy? What next, secret subterranean temples? Animal sacrifice? People dancing naked around fires wearing David Icke masks shouting "wahoooba"? Fuck me.

Who is going to pay for a new kit? I doubt very much Puma will extend credit terms, so who will pay up front for all that stock? The administrator/CCFC Ltd have no income streams. Would SISU really plough a load more of their own money into the club this summer - would they pay Puma, or for...

On the basis that the idea of continuing as a tenant will be simply not be on the agenda for any new owners, nor should it be. Any deal will, as a minimum, include the Higgs share, and you don't pay a shit load in rent to play in a place you have 50% ownership of.

Got to love japandy. Not sure I can vouch for his sanity, but still a message board legend from the days of dial-up.

It is going to have to happen. If SISU go the entire workforce is laid off and CCFC Ltd via the administrator will have to cherry pick who they re-employ. Clearly, without the SISU subsidy, there will not be sufficient income simply to rehire everyone and the administrator will have to ensure...

That's what people want though surely? People want SISU to go, and SISU going means liquidating CCFC Holdings surely? What other exit option do they have, because nobody will buy it from them. If SISU go we all rejoice, but we must also understand all staff, players included, would be laid...

It wasn't really, The Withdean already existed and the idea to move there was only conceived after they had moved out of Brighton. The circumstances were different yes, because the owners that forced the sale of the Goldstone Ground were forced out so those that followed the club the 70 miles...

If the FL had got it wrong they would never had admitted it, the loss of face would have been huge, so they would have fudged it. I'm not sure what legal recourse SISU would have had since share is the FLs to issue anyway. The FL say it is with Ltd, and SISU I suspect still dispute that, so...

But the FL advised ACL weeks ago that the GS was with CCFC Ltd, so their position hasn't shifted at all and in that sense we haven't learned a huge amount today, in fact I don't think we are any further forward in reality. I don't blame BA for trying but I'm not sure it has done much good.
