Somewhere, OSB, in all of the trial docs, I think there's mention that ACL is set up so that if one side wants to sell it shares to a third party it must provide the other side with the first option to purchase them at the same price. I don't recall it was suggested anywhere that the Council...

To (mis)quote another movie... "Doctors say that Murphy has a 50/50 chance of signing, though there's only a 10 percent chance of that." ;)

I think they could have made that case a while ago, couldn't they. Murphy was fairly clear that he wanted to get this sorted before the end of the season. If the club don't care about keeping Murphy, then they've probably done enough. However, if SP wanted to keep him, then this has been...

The purpose and benefit is obvious, at least to me. The point of liquidation is that they'd stop having to throw money at the club. As for the golden share - if the club go into admin and/or are sold, the FL can choose to give it to the new owner (as indeed they've just done for Otium, with...

In your opinion. I think there probably is actually - but shall we just do one argument at a time, this one's been done to death already.

Erm... I presume the reason for liquidation would be something along the lines of not having to continue to £3m per season in. Fwiw I still think SISU would sell rather than liquidate, but I wouldn't want to put my house on it, and it does assume that someone would give them something for the...

It's a false argument because it relates to you commenting on what you think my opinion is of TF. Kind of irrelevant really, because the facts are there and are clear. He threatened liquidation in the press, and threatened to pull the plug in meetings with the other parties. To suggest that...

Now that I would pay to see. :)

That's a false argument. I listen to what Fisher says, and then pull it apart if it doesn't stand up* (e.g. funding the new stadium). This was a direct statement by the only party here capable of liquidating the club, SISU. They're not saying someone else might liquidate the club, as you...

I'm sorry too Ian, because you're kidding yourself here. It's not hearsay, and it's not an external agent; SISU threaten to pull the plug in the roadmap meetings, Fisher threatens insolvent liquidation in the press. No other party here is threatening to liquidate the club, or indeed even has...

Come off it - who do you think was threatening liquidate the club when he made this statement?

The stuff in the roadmap meetings was in the court transcripts... and the liquidation threat was also made quite clearly to the press, by Fisher. As for the bail-out meeting, agree that it's odd that there are no minutes, although it's given that there was a unanimous vote to do it. Maybe more...

Hi Ian, I don't think Butts was ever an option. There was never any suggestion of a formal approach I don't think, and because it's a rugby ground rather than a footy ground I'm not sure the FL would have sanctioned it. Also, it just wouldn't work - two turnstiles, one stand, nothing like...

I don't know why, but I'm thinking 'Hunt for Red October'? (Coming soon, the sequel, 'Hunt for the Golden Share'). With regard to the mention of liquidation, it wasn't a "poorly chosen phrase", it was a direct threat posed by Fisher and SISU in the press and also in meetings when the roadmap...

Could it be that Thomas has had an up-and-down season, and we can't really judge Bigi's qualities because we haven't seen him play since he left. I note that SP seems to be very happy with Thomas - and personally I'm happy to trust his judgement. Either way, I think it's clear that we're going...

No argument from me there Jack - but I think it's telling that there's no mention of offering Murphy a contract. I think if you're hoping to get someone to sign on for less money, the smart move is surely to make the offer before the contract runs out and they start talking to other clubs. My...

I think this has already been nailed down by previous posters, but I'll chuck in my tuppence worth... SISU win the JR: CCC are obliged to reconsider their decision to loan the money, ACL are potentially left to find funding elsewhere. Still no guarantee that SISU get to own the Ricoh, there's...

Dammit, I was banking on Narnia. Easy to get to from my wardrobe. ;)

In truth Jack, I think the decision from the planning Inspector is still pending. The gateway scheme could still get the go ahead. If so, there was talk about reducing the A45 to one lane in each direction in the plans, iirc. If for no other reason, I don't fancy that. I'm not convinced...

A: Because it hasn't been paid. The clue is in your OP. Rumour in the canteen at work. A second clue is in all of the press coverage on this, the stuff where Otium accept they will pay the debt but then waffle on about two timeframes and banking mechanisms, and the dog eating their homework etc.
