It will be a cock up if he doesn't sign but there's no need to panic at the moment. We seem to be going through exactly the same discussions we did when it took forever to confirm him as manager in the first place.

What has the JR got to do with the sale of ACL to Wasps?

That is not what I am saying at all. My preference would be for the club to be honest and transparent but, given the type of owners we have, it would be naïve to say the least, to expect that to be the case. Are you really going to argue that when Fisher bangs on about a new stadium and...

There's a difference between Fisher shooting off some comment to the CT and what you are suggesting. Of course if SISU have done anything illegal I would expect them to be punished but you're actually proving my point. SISU have only to not break the law, they have no responsibility to anyone...

SISU are a private hedge fund. By definition they are only interested in maximising their return and are not answerable to anyone other than their investors. CCC are a publically accountable body, they should not be dishonest with the electorate. It's really a very simple concept. And that's...

As has been explained many times by the likes of OSB and others Wasps bid was also conditional, any bid would be. It is likely the conditions were that SISU had access to the same information that Wasps had been granted access to so that they could undertake due diligence.

They also put in a bid for the Higgs half which would seem to suggest they would have purchased if offered the same deal as Wasps.

Definitely remember the story, no idea if there was any truth in it.

Premier Sports have just announced they are showing all 26 games. You can get a subscription just to cover the period of the tournament for £9.99.

If it wasn't so serious it would be comical. You can barely buy a ream of paper in the public sector without getting comparative quotes to ensure you're getting the best value for the taxpayer yet you can sell off a stadium in secret on the cheap and nobody is in the slightest bit concerned.

On the one hand it is good news that the council, and therefore the local taxpayer, is no longer exposed to risk. However there is also the issue that CCC used the income from interest over the term of the loan as justification for making the loan. There should be questions asked as to why there...

How much are we talking about winning? On the basis that I'd keep enough for myself I'd look into building a new stadium for the club. Would look to put some sort of ownership in place so it belonged to the fans rather than the owners of the club.

Does anyone know anything about this? Can't find much info online other than they've been deducted 6 points, had the timeframe for appealing reduced to the point that an appeal is virtually impossible and as a result are out of the play offs.

Because its not a natural phrase. If someone asked if there had ever been a request to review the rent its a yes or no question. The repeated use of an unnatural phrase which is ambiguous implies to me that something is being hidden.

Look at the top right of your screen, there's a search bar. Use it as the issue of compensation and the validity of a SISU claim should there be a ruling in their favour has been discussed in detail more than once.

A ruling in favour of SISU would almost certainly lead to a claim for compensation.

Its been discussed often on here the limited powers the judge in the JR actually has and that a victory for SISU would lead to a second case where they make an application for compensation. If anything I would say the sale of ACL to Wasps has increased the amount they might try and claim...

A nice idea but from what I have been told the idea of moving out only came about as ACL refused to come to the table to negotiate a better deal for the club. When I was told this I went back and looked carefully at PWKH's comments on here and he very pointedly always uses the phrase 'no formal...

The common belief is that a ruling in SISU's favour would lead to a claim for compensation. No reason to think that has changed. Interesting point though as if Wasps have paid the loan back out of concern that at some point in the future a ruling would force them to do so they must have some...

You have to wonder where we'd be if from day one they'd put the amount of effort they put into court cases into getting the club moving in the right direction.
