Phew ... that's a relief.

I agree that ACL have had some hand in the ruination of the club (mainly as a result of CCC greed), and initially although I also blamed SISU in large part for it's mismanagement of the club, I wanted a better deal for the club and to that extent supported SISU in the attempt to negotiate a...

What this offer does do though is underline what is already obvious to all of us, and that is that it can be much more financially viable to play at the Ricoh than at NTFC, which is why financing costs can be covered without costing SISU a penny. The only possible motives i can see that Fishface...

Sorry BSB had to leave out your responses just to keep it down to the max 10,000 characters allowable :)

A summary of my previous posts:- ... I don't trust the FL to do what is right or follow their rule book, and I am worried that we might waste 3 to 5 years hanging on to the hope that CCFC will return to the Cov area, which might never happen. SISU might even have a hidden agenda to develop...

Posts yesterday by PWKH regarding the Option by SISU to purchase the Higgs half share of the Ricoh:- "The Option is in CCFC Ltd. It has been shown in the accounts of other entities owned by Sisu and linked to CCFC. It has not been transferred out of CCFC Ltd: for it to be assigned it requires...

So if ACL accept the CVA the Option continues? When does it expire?

If you read again you will see that my point is not based on optimism that PH4 will want to invest in a Midlands Combination club, though from a public relations angle it is quite conceivable that he might be quite willing to do so anyway even if this is initially by not levying costs on the...

Back from a nice pub beer garden. Thanks BSB for comments, don't mind you being critical at all because I don't pretend to know or be right about everything I am just putting some thoughts out there to prompt discussion. Re your points:- 1. If CCC/ACL wouldn't let a fledgling phoenix/start-up...

Just back on the thread after nearly 24 hours and good to see interesting debate from various viewpoints which is healthy and what the forum should be about. Lots to plough through and I notice in particular Stupot, BSB, Grendel, and SBT airing valid concerns. Being lazy the easiest thing for...

As I posted earlier:- Having slept on this, people are right in saying that we the supporters are the football club, and I would support the creation of a phoenix club created solely for the purpose of being the new CCFC. Before anyone suggests otherwise, this doesn't have to split the fans...

I agree with you on nearly all of that, particularly on the supporter involvement aspect which has to be a key feature. The only issue I have is on the origins of the phoenix club as I said earlier:- Adopting Sphinx or following the new club the local businessmen have recently been promoting...

I think the difference now is there doesn't appear to be any other option for regular use of the Ricoh stadium that can have the future potential of a phoenix CCFC, unless of course we can get the original CCFC back. So unless the FL decides SISU is not fit & proper, or something gives between...

You have a point but what if the terms of buying into the Ricoh include making an initial non-controlling investment into the football club. Again I would say that it is in the long term interests of CCC/ACL to have a successful football club in the city, and so they should support such a term...

Stu, you may have missed the suggestion I made on page 5:- To this end I would also suggest that it would be in the wider interests of CCC/ACL (both in terms of the image of the city and longer term investment) to support this venture by making the Ricoh available to the phoenix club without...

Pete I agree with you that we should not give up without a fight. But having a plan B is not giving up.

Having slept on this, people are right in saying that we the supporters are the football club, and I would support the creation of a phoenix club created solely for the purpose of being the new CCFC. Before anyone suggests otherwise, this doesn't have to split the fans and we should all accept...

Interesting to see a well written analysis from a completely impartial observer that so well sums up the feelings of many of us.

I don't trust the FL to do what is right or follow their rule book, and I am seriously worried that we might waste 3 to 5 years hanging on to the hope that CCFC will return to the Cov area, which might never happen. SISU might even have a hidden agenda to develop their franchise in Northampton...
