FFS yourself - where does the BBC website say anything about a 'done deal'? Even your own chairman yesterday was describing it as speculation - so unless you or Cobblers have got inside information from the league (clue: you haven't), then this is an entirely pointless wind up.

Not quite following you here, sorry. There seems to be the suggestion that SISU are some kind of geniuses when it comes to court action, and I'm making the point that it isn't entirely true. I think you're saying the same thing. The one thing that anyone who has faced court action knows, is...

Their track record in front of court isn't great though, is it? What with the High Court Judge challenging Joy's recollection etc. - there's one case they clearly didn't win. There's no emotion in SISU's chase after money - if all other avenues are closed they'll sell to the highest bidder...

If nothing else I suspect the FL will be feeling the pressure. If they don't have an absolutely rock-solid plan from SISU, they're going to get some serious heat if they make the wrong call. I suspect this will drag out a while yet...

See, most footy fans are thoroughly decent people. Although I can't help but feel that this is partly in gratitude for all of the tremendous players (and manager) we've sent their way over recent seasons. Ahem. ;)

If I was Cardoza I'd get the electricity supply switched over to a card meter and make the directors' car parking Pay & Display. ;)

It's a fair point, and I stand corrected. Looking again it seems there is scope for JR against bodies like the FL and FA, but I think if there's the possiblity of redress via other legal avenues then that will always be the court's preferred option... Bloody expensive too, as I recall. Five...

I've never heard of a JR being used against an organisation in the way that you describe. I've heard of it used to challenge Councils (often against PP approval), tribunals (e.g. for immigration decisions), and even government officials, but not private bodies like the FL...

It doesn't leave them in Northampton, unless the FL goes against its own rules. SISU will have to move CCFC back to the City of Coventry or very near to it if they wish to remain in the FL. This according to their own rules and recent precedent, and fwiw SISU's stated plan (if it's worth the...

I don't think Judicial Reviews apply to the Football League, because they're not a government authority. You can challenge FL decisions in courts for the usual reasons, breach of contract, restraint of trade etc., but as I understand it if they are following their own rules it's tricky to get...

On CWR today the Northampton chairman was saying that the move was just speculation. Regardless, personally I won't spend another penny at the club whilst SISU are still in charge. Enough is enough, imho. As for Brandon, seriously. There is no way a stadium there could ever get planning...

So then, you admit that what you accused FLB of was in fact a complete and utter lie. Best to file your posts under dangerous misdirection, not ill-informed admittedly, just flat out bullshit under the guise of anonymity. Wasn't too hard to discredit you, was it. Pathetic.

The thing about the value of the players on the books in the Administrator's document? That was your 'evidence'? I'd like to know how you drew from that, that FLB was wrong. So then, since you've worked it out, does that sum represent the value of a single player at the club, or four players...

The difference is that it would take about two seconds of research to realise that you were a clueless oaf regarding brain surgery, and perhaps other things too. However, rather than try to criticise FLB's blog by challenging the facts stated on it, you choose to challenge the motives of the...

Agreed. An unnecessary one too, I'd argue. Just mho, as ever, and I quite liked Pressley up to this point. But this, I don't care for...

He was about as poor as everyone else that I saw. But the fans have to have someone to blame. Regardless, why treat someone so shabbily when it's entirely unnecessary and you might actually need them at some point in the future. You're paying their wages, so you might as well try to figure...

If you need to send players to train somewhere else, then you're not much of a man manager in my book. They're professionals - any number of times in a senior player's career he falls out of favour with a manager, most just roll their sleeves up and get on with it, and hope to force their way...

I don't think it's even that cut & dried. There's all of the legal and voting stuff surrounding the Administration, and the FL who are yet to approve the preferred bidder. Who can really know how this ends... but it'll be messy I suspect!

It's not lost business though - the lease is an absolute contractual obligation. The CVA should propose how the business will move forward, and if that doesn't suit the creditors I think they can either block it, or challenge the Administrator's decision in court if they feel it's unfairly...

With respect, says who? Financially ACL are clearly better off going for a bidder who doesn't intend to move away from the Ricoh.
