    Petition for grilling

    Don't think many people would mind finding that out if it was actually the case and evidence backed. Most people want the truth and given that so far CCC and ACL have not been shown to have lied about anything where Fisher and Labovich are known to have lied on several occasions it is only...

    So are we happy ?

    Hard to say as I don't know a lot about anyone coming in but on the face of it we've done OK. Of course if the loans all leave at the end of the season along with the out of contract players we're going to have a lot of gaps to fill but isn't that always the way these days.

    sisu strikes again

    But neither you or I know if that happened do we? If I was going to buy CCFC I would ask the council and Higgs for meetings to discuss the Ricoh. It doesn't mean that CCC are forcing the issue. That will be key here. If CCC were actively seeking out someone to replace SISU then the arguement is...

    sisu strikes again

    Not sure you could class that as distressing. If you remove CCFC and the emotion of it being a football club out of the equation as a judge will do with the JR SISU appeared to be actively working to put ACL out of business. CCC were talking to someone who would potentially make a purchase off...

    sisu strikes again

    Mutton was less than helpful to say the least but SISU would, or at least should, have been aware that it was not down to him to decide anything. Any dealings with CCC regarding purchasing the 50% share of ACL, veto of Higgs share sale or freehold would require a full council vote. And of course...

    sisu strikes again

    Why not? If, as you say, SISU argue the rent wasn't affordable why could CCC not make a defence on the affordability? Thats subjective though isn't it. SISU can argue no other bank would have offered them the loan but it would be tricky to prove. They would also have to look at the...

    sisu strikes again

    Maybe but then CCC could say if you couldn't afford the rent why didn't you put the club up for sale to someone who could and how can you afford to pay the interest on the loan from AVRO and management fees. There's an argument to be had for sure but SISU will need to be very careful not to drop...

    sisu strikes again

    again we only have Fisher and Labovich to go on here and they don't have a great track record with being truthful but if that is the case then doesn't Labovich's statement that "It’s against the law for 2 or more people to conspire to cause damage to the business of a third party" come into play...

    sisu strikes again

    No you've misunderstood me, maybe I haven't explained it well. What is being said is that CCC shouldn't have loaned ACL the £14m as it was causing an imbalance in the market and if they hadn't done that SISU could have purchased the mortgage for £5-6m. The only evidence we have of this is Fisher...

    sisu strikes again

    The problem with that is that SISU were attempting to distress ACL in order to panic Yorkshire Bank into selling them the mortgage at less than its value. Had SISU been paying the rent is there any chance that YB would have even considered selling the mortgage for a third of it's value? Come to...

    Ricoh Arena Has New Tennants!!

    SISU attempted to distress ACL, that much is clear to most people apart from a few who just refuse to look at the facts. They illegally withheld rent, as proven in court and in the initial JR hearing Justice Males stated "The alternatives would appear to have been either the insolvency of ACL...

    Mark Labovitch Comment

    But weren't they claiming that they had, with the council, come up with a plan to falsely give YB the impression that ACL were in financial problems so they could buy the mortgage from them on the cheap. Surely that law, if it exists would apply there.

    Ricoh Arena Has New Tennants!!

    They aren't a Northampton team, they aren't even a team in the real sense. They are a very expensive football academy using the Ricoh as it will be a good selling point for them.

    Ricoh Arena Has New Tennants!!

    Do Sphinx want to ply there? If they do and they have been told it's not possible then you have a point, otherwise you're complaining about someone not playing there who doesn't actually want to play there. What do you want ACL to do, threaten to take them to court unless they come and play at...

    Ricoh Arena Has New Tennants!!

    For all we know there may not even be a requirement for any stewards. The only people likely to be attending are parents and scouts, how many stewards can you possibly need for that?

    Ricoh Arena Has New Tennants!!

    So are you suggesting they franchise in a premier league team? Unless they do that how are they going to get someone of that level in? Seems sensible to me to take any bookings they can, better than it being sat there empty. Not sure what makes that comedy gold. Seeing as SISU won't even...

    Ricoh Arena Has New Tennants!!

    Have Sphinx given any indication they want to move to the Ricoh?

    Ricoh Arena Has New Tennants!!

    Why would there be a problem with anyone who wants to hire the Ricoh so long as they can pay whatever ACL are charging for hire? Or would you rather ACL turned down business and it just sat there not being used? I'm sure if I said to the FA I wanted to hire Wembley I could so long as I could...

    Delfouneso signs on loan!

    With a deal like this where he's on loan until the end of the season then out of contract does something get put in place so we get first option on a permanent contract?

    Ricoh Arena Has New Tennants!!

    What's it got to do with Coventry City? We don't play there so it has zero impact on the team or our fans. If we get to a point where SISU come to their senses and want to move back only to be told we can't as this lot are now using the ground then its time to complain. Should we start a...
