I know re 106 thanks - and they can be used as match for other funding, as long as it does indeed benefit the tax payer. Which EU funds are you famliar as there are plenty to keep us all busy! The one's that I have been close to have very tight processes even before you get the funding, State...

Local Authorities raise funds from a variety of souces as I outlined in my post, and this does include borrowing. They do not in my experience use council tax or funds from other sources for services to do as you are suggesting, This is very closely audited and they simply cannot do this. They...

Thanks for another succinct dose of realism OSB.

What could they do about it though? I don't know much about rugger, but even in Saints territory where local lads like Ben Cohen and Courtney (whatever his name is) have come through from local clubs, I suspect some kids slip through the net to the like as Leicester.

It isn't new no. But MK Dons didn't exist a few years ago, and seem to sweep their net very wide. The Cobblers, Luton, even Peterborough I suspect find it difficult to compete with them due to funds/facilites.

Have friends in MK and wife worked there at the time of the move. MK did have a team, but it never got off the ground and always played at a very low level. Mate of mine actually managed them form a while. Wolverton (which is next to MK) had a decent side at slightly higher level. Both of these...

The buy out of the loan did not come directly from the rate payers funds. Local Authorities raise funding from a wide variety of sources, and employ funding managers in regeneration teams to do so. This includes Central Govt, Govt Departmental (DCLG, DECC etc,,) EU and private sector funding...

Is the answer to make a joint offer with Wasps then OSB? In other words, say half each for the Higgs share, therefore Sisu end up with 25% and Wasps 75% of ACL? Although why would Wasps do this when they can have all of it?

That bit wasn't directed at you Jan, but one or two others further up the thread - you and I were typing at the same time I think, hence the edit comment (your post is likely to be more acccuarte factually than mine also!). I couldn't agree more with what you and Mark82 have said. There is a...

Don't wish to get involved in the ongoing squabble, but NW's pic made one chuckle!

To me it seems to be that there is a contractual obligation of the offer to Ltd for a set time perod (30 days). It has been mentioned taht as Ltd is under the control of the Liquidator, then it simly cannot happen as there is no funding available via them to make a pruchase. In other words, a...

The SIxfields move was for up to 3 years with option for up to two more. The problem was that this vagueness (from Sisu and the FL) meant that a lot of fans were uncertain on timescales. It was only a few weeks ago that a return to Cov was as far away as it ever was. No-one can simply say that...

And good at moving the goalposts - so can't see a problem

Do you think all the pre game picnics in the car parks will impact on the F&B? Do they even sell Champers on the Foleshill Rd? :pimp:

Make them an offer they can't refuse you mean - "Either your brains or your signature will be on that piece of paper"

Swings and roundabouts mate

Oh dear. What could have been. :facepalm:

Otis, have you stolen Bob Monkhouse's joke encyclopaedias?

Dai Young indeed. One of my favourite Black Sabbath tracks from the post Ossie era - from the Heaven and Hell album if I recall.

Love the one man and his dog reference - TF's dog I wonder?
