    Tipped to Win vs Orient

    Yes - and being without away wins is why we sit so close to the bottom four. We have to start winning away and with Nouble and Johnson back against a team with a poor home record and with a couple of players out, this is the golden opportunity. I will put £10 on 4-1 to us.

    Again - I am not a lawyer. I really wouldn't know the order of process. What I do know is that law is not an exact science. That a lot is down to interpretation and that the same paragraph can have different meanings in different situations. Otherwise there really wouldn't be thousands of cases...

    Sepalla interview

    But not because of the debt. It was the only route to break the lease.

    Sepalla interview

    The 'debt free' comment is a poor example as the club really had no external debt on time Ranson said it. Better example would be 'stadium location will be revealed in three weeks'.

    I think it was changed in December 2012.

    It's the JVA I think could be the most interesting piece. It was changed just before the loan as the existing JVA did not allow one party to be more financially involved than the other. I am not saying the new JVA is a smoking gun or even a definitely game changer - and I suspect sisu don't...

    You're right of course about the statistics - and I did say 'going by the numbers alone - trying to implicate the same. I have no idea what their chances are of being successful as I am not a lawyer. Going by their previous success rate in courts their chances are not great. But that's bringing...

    This is from InBrief.co.uk: Frequently clients are anxious to know whether they can appeal in the event of an unsuccessful claim or defence long before their case is even heard. For others, it is the most pressing question after the judgment is pronounced...

    Sepalla interview

    Yes, it was around April 2012 the club said a 'rent vacation' should be part of the road-map. ACL apparently objected, but still went on with the negotiations. If ACL felt a rent vacation was a deal breaker, surely they would have left the table then? They didn't and so it is absolutely...

    Sepalla interview

    Are you suggesting that no negotiations took place prior to that? Or are you trying to shield her from any blame? Due Diligence has taken a long time - certainly more than a few months - did she not know that Wasps was given access to confidential and sensitive financial information? Of course...

    Sepalla interview

    He said two years. It could be September 2012 or maybe earlier. It could October or later. He didn't give an exact date. But that is not really my point. A month or two on either side still put it inside the timeframe where sisu/CCC/Higgs was talking and I for one find it quite despicable that...

    Sepalla interview

    As always it's never that simple, is it? We all seem to forget what Wasps CEO said at the press conference: "This takeover is the culmination of two years meticulous planning." That put the start of the negotiation right into the timeframe when CCC/Higgs and sisu were all negotiating in good...

    Sky Blues owners to bid for Higgs' shares in ACL

    No, but I am pretty sure it came out at the JR. They needed to change the JV as the original agreement didn't allow for one party to be financially involved more than the other. Or something down that line. Maybe Duffer know?

    Sky Blues owners to bid for Higgs' shares in ACL

    I seem to remember that the joint venture agreement was changed as part of the council buying out the mortgage. It would not be unreasonable to ask for details of the changes. As you say: The club have only one shot at getting the bid right. And even if they do log 'the right bid', there's...

    Higgs Share Update

    Could it be that the Wasps deal has incorporated an obligation to build a hotel or other development targets within a certain timeframe? If so, that will require capital and it would not be unreasonable to ask for specifics. BTW, would it be possible to revive ccfc ltd (out of liquidation and...

    Johnson and Nouble to save Pressleys job?

    We do have a reserve team - the u17. I was going to say the u21 but realised that is actually the A team.
