That doesn't make it a bargaining tool. ACL are in the driving seat here, they appear to be doing just fine without the club and have just had a nice pile of cash from SISU. They are the ones in the position to dictate terms, they have what SISU need and they don't need SISU. It would only be a...

And Man U have improved massively since he ditched it.

I don't really understand why they have done this. For me there are only two reasons for an appeal and neither apply: 1) they think they can win. seems no chance of this, not like they lost narrowly and can hope someone else looking at it will see it slightly differently. 2) distressing ACL...

We could really do with a win today. Although it's only the third game of the season we need to get out of the habit of losing or before we know it will will be getting into a stretch of games without a win. Think it's going to be tough though and I would be surprised if we get a point let alone 3.

I find I'm increasingly losing interest in football altogether. If the worst did happen and we no longer existed apart from a passing interest in watching England on the TV or MOTD if there's nothing else to do I'd be pretty much done as a football fan. Not sure you can ever really support...

what is it with leaving everything to the last possible minute? guess any chance of a return to the Ricoh is gone now.

What's their source, RFC? Really hope it's true. The cup game was so tragic, not sure we can survive much more of that.

I would think if you were SISU and you weren't putting an appeal in you'd get a press release out ASAP saying that following the payment yesterday and passing of the deadline there is no longer a barrier to talks and they want to speak to ACL ASAP. Doing that would put the ball back in ACLs...

Is that SP quote directly related to this or have they pulled it from another interview or fans forum?

Wonder if it will turn out to be one of those injuries that magically disappears as soon as he signs for another club.

Its not the paying that people moan about its the stupid games. They have left it until the last possible second with no reason. As usual there's also a lack of clarity, SISU have been saying for weeks the money is in escrow with the FL. The FL ruling was SISU to pay ACL yet we have a statement...

SP should make a call about getting Barnum-Bobb in on loan. Thought he looked decent (and has a great name!) and doesn't look like he'll be getting much first team football at Cardiff.

Nope, but there still seemed to be lawyers involved so that's a bit more added onto our debt.

Not sure how they won when their argument was that the £300K paid by GR / MM should be knocked off the bill and that hasn't happened. Is that another example of them battering people with their amazing legal prowess?

I can picture Tim & Joy waiting till 1 second after 4pm to hit the pay button just to make themselves feel in control.

Why have they paid it to the Football League? I thought they were supposed to be paying ACL? In fact weren't we told the money was in escrow with the FL weeks ago, why is nothing straightforward and transparent! How many other clubs are run so badly they have to issue statements on their...

Something doesn't add up to me. SP said at the fans forum all the team & transfer decisions were entirely down to him. Now I know there's differing opinions over Baker but even those who aren't fans of his surely can't argue that, on the basis of the first two matches, he should at least have a...

If they do appeal tomorrow will we find out straight away or could it be days / weeks before we know about it?

Its like a bunch of kids. We've been told for weeks the money is all sat in escrow ready and waiting but they won't pay it until the last possible second.

Is it my laptop or are the floodlights not much cop at Sixfields?
