I think most people can manage to discuss more than one subject without their heads exploding! In some ways the off the pitch stuff is more important, if that isn't sorted then the on the pitch side of things is unlikely to get better any time soon. Seems to me a lot of people have been happy...

You'd need to check with a lawyer but I suspect the time frame would move from the initial loan to the sale to Wasps and possible new loan, or at least transfer of the existing loan. They may also be new information to bring in that wasn't known at the time, possibly the information that SISU...

it's getting to the point where getting someone in every position is a priority!

"Darren Murray has praised the second-half performance" they're all bloody at it, probably thought we were terrific as well!

He had better be playing well, he's the only keeper we've got. Wonder what odds I can get on Oggy making an appearance. The rate things are going it wouldn't be a shock if they registered him as a player.

He only suggested everyone having a get together and seeing if we can get some fan unity and ideas for best ways to move forward!

We were still there but not paying rent weren't we? Which surely would at least raise a concern.

But again why would you get to that open book stage if the asking price is a million miles away from what you are prepared to pay? Many people have asked why didn't SISU just submit a bid even if CCC weren't or wouldn't talk to them. How could they have done that with any degree of accuracy?

Come on MMM, if you have one set of accounts showing a £1m profit but you also know that your major tenant was not paying you don't just go, well it's making a profit that will be fine. The council made the loan once we had already stopped paying rent during a period in which ACL were making a...

I'm really not sure, it's a bit frustrating that statements like this get dropped out and then never followed up on. To me as soon as the amount owned in administration was revealed he should have had that clip played back to him and be asked to explain.

It will be interesting to see how ACL perform now. With the NEC sold to LDC they will be far more aggressive in going after business, coupled with the refurb at Villa Park (a larger capacity venue) making it a good options for concerts and representative games ACL will have their work cut out...

I'm really not sure what you're driving at here. The rent was too high, I think we all agree that. ACL were reliant on the rent, I don't think many dispute that. That's pretty much it. Due diligence is done after the acceptance of a bid. What I'm saying is that CCC's false stance had a...

There was an interview with Fisher at some point where he clearly stated all the money that had been put in had been converted to equity then when we went into admin we owned millions! Wish I could remember where it was, have a feeling it was CWR, would love to get his response to that.

It's relevant because CCC categorically stated that the rent was not needed for ACL to be profitable, that while we were at Sixfields ACL were making a profit. It also has an impact on the value of ACL, it's painting a false picture of the status of the company in order to artificially inflate...

It's not my argument! I said exactly the same thing to Nellist when he proposed it although he did come back with a fairly comprehensive response. The gist of it was that if the cuts were overturned the £15m would be replenished from central government.

There must be guidelines somewhere, although how straightforward they are is anyone's guess. Part of the problem is that CCC have allegedly stated, not particularly in regard to the Ricoh or CCFC, that they would never risk taxpayers money (as the taxpayer would have to make the repayments if...

I had an almighty row with Maton about this as this is not what was voted on. He assured me at the time that the money taken from council reserves had already been replenished, the answers CCC provided to Reid state this not to be the case. This does knock on to the local taxpayer, although...

What are you on about? The point being made is CCC and Higgs repeatedly stated that ACL was profitable without CCFC, including during the period we were at Sixfields. They weren't. Yes the rent strike was ruled illegal but that's not really the point is it, statements were made that were clearly...

How can CCFC distress ACL by withholding rent or moving out if ACL are no way reliant on that rent from CCFC? By saying ACL were in no way reliant on CCFC it artificially inflated any asking price. That's why, for example, a company listed on the stock exchange can not make false statements, it...

Have seen it mentioned that it go be taken to the European Court but I'm not sure if there's any point at which an appeal rejection stops further action. I suspect that there will be additional legal action around what has come out in the past few days. Would not be surprised to see a second JR...
