If ACL really think they can prosper in the long term without the football club, then the world really has gone mad. That is some kind of bargaining chip there. You cannot have proper negotiations with someone who constantly wants to drag you through the courts. We could argue about how the...

Its the childish squbbling Nick that is more of an issue with a few of them though. Take yesterday as an example. Derails threads and puts others off from contributing (only an opinion of course).

THe amount decided is irrelevant in the big scheme of things. ANy amount decided by the FL, and agreed by Sisu, indicates that they may show some intention to commit to a deal to return. Ditto ACL for acceptanc of such. FL then then nudge them towards th negotiating table perhaps? Pressure to...

Which is why dropping the JR has to happen in the first instance surely. If Sisu are genuine about any return to the Ricoh, then they have to give something. How can professional and thorough negotiation take place until the spectre of ongoing litigation is removed - it simply can't. ACL would...

They certainly don't help mate. Stuck in the middle of all this is proving to be very disheartening.

That works both ways though does it not? Also, didn't Ms Seppala veot the deal which TF shook on? I would call that hard ball.

Sisu are disputing the amount they have to pay. They have placed "substantial" funds in the account. The FL will decide how much needs to be paid. Also they have given no indication whatsoever about dropping legal action. Hence why ACL have said wha tthey have. We may not like it, but that is...

Safe journey, and have a great time. PUSB

Suspect that Rob knows more as suggested by his outline from yesterday. He also had a fair amount of input at the CCLSC AGM last Saturday. Haven't seen any minutes from this yet though (I was unable to attend).

Agree with you there with some on pitch optimism, but it is about the owners unfortunately. The buck stops with them in regard to the direction of travel for the club. Still don't understand why the FL aren't treating our situation with any urgency - it's as if this situation is business as...

Maybe they could encourage Sisu to move away from the litigation route.

Looks like Mrs Slocombe's pussy to me

Thats what I was getting at really - they are still playing the long game with the high risk strategy. The statement changes nothing.

So if Sisu are serious about wishing to negotiate on a short term deal to return, it would make sense to drop the legal process. It will cost them nothing to do this , and immediately remove one barrier. Are they serious in regard to returning now though?

Maybe just put an elephant on it? (creativity doesn't come naturally as you can tell)

The pay what's owed bit seems likely to happen (once the FL get around to it on the 7th). Down to Sisu to brek a habit of a lifetime and drop the litigation. Allows an opportunity to sit dow and have a realtively straight forward negotiation on a short term deal (it is short term after all). Be...

I get this it - agreed. As far as the JR appeal being part of the negotiation process though; this is a stand alone issue I would hae thought (think someone on here is is more legal beagle than me alluded to this on the thread somewhere). The leave to appeal is yet to be granted anyway.

And the nominee for the next thread to be closed is.... For what's it worth I am on holiday, so won't be able to be hypocrytical this year

Not sure how me and the old man ended up in the Main Stand. The stewards must have felt extra sorry for us.
