The Football League is often referred to as a 'members' club' ie it's first instinct is to side with current owners. The FL isn't a court of law or some kind of impartial judge/arbitrator - it has its own agenda and its own way of doing things

That makes sense to me, but seeing that sisu were prepared to lose £30-40m in the KPMG case - and if you accept what a lot of people say ie sisu want to distress acl - then maybe there is a different logic sisu are following?

Otis, there was a thread yesterday on a similat theme of 'it doesn't make sense' but it might be we're all thinking about this in the wrong way ie sisu just a very particular type of business with a particular way of acting? One of the few bits of info you can find about sisu is the Times 2005...

Torch, great thread to start to take our mind off current situation. Since '87 I've got married, had three kids, lived abroad and dobne all sorts of things but seeing us win at Wembley and then that night back in Cov is still the happiest day of my life!

If this view is correct where does that leave us?

This question has been knocking around on here for a long time. £60m is often quoted but last summer people were saying sisu would go for £5 million. You would have thought that something more definite would have emerged by now which is in part why I begin to wonder if we're barking up the wrong...

The big question then is what sisu might consider an acceptable exit option? I can't imagine they would say no to a new investor offering them silly money but that doesn't seem seem likely. So what happens in a scenario where: if, as some people believe, sisu's aim is to distress acl and get the...

Absolutely. My first game was 1971 so I was around in 87 but how many supporters at other clubs could say that in 40+ years of following a team they have never seen a top six finsih/promotion/a play off game...but looking to the future, BSB, what's your view?

Is it only 43 years? Somtimes feels a lot longer than that! I guess everyone has their own view of when the rot set in. '87 through to 90/91ish for me had a lot of highlights. Off the pitch a lot of people would point to 96/97 as a truning point so maybe the fa cup game at sheff u in 98 was the...

Is 'little acorns' some kind of euphemism?! One of the recurring points when you talk to other Trusts is that the kind of mess we're in is likely to drag on for a long time yet so patience is a virtue and all that kind of stuff. Very dull, but beginning to feel very true.

No worries! And do feel free to get back to me if needs be

Cheers, Torch! I'm absolutely knackered so calling it a day

Meant to post something on wed and since but time got away from me. Just to clarify: meeting the Administrator was not about 'fact finding' - what we were doing was introducing ourselves to the Administrator, establishing the Trust as a key stakeholder, listening to what he had to say, and we...

Really interesting thread this. There are people on this forum who have financial and legal expertise so, as Paxman says, putting sentiment aside here's a hypothetical question: in your professional role if you were approached by a hedge fund which said it is making a loss on a football club it...

Great work by @CJ_covblaze tweeting from Steven Pressley at the Trust - and sw88 on here too!

No worries

Tony, I'm a technophobe but finally got persuaded by my kids to use twitter and it's both easy and a great means of instant communication for something like this. At some point we hope meetings can have a web linkup but for tonight it's twitter only I'm afraid
