Excellent - now I am Tim. My name seem to change every so often. Anyway, I can't agree with your sentiment. If the owners of the club manage to get the finances balanced the club will have a future. That is probably the best case scenario there is right now.

... and by doing what is best for the club, he is doing what is best for sisu.

If they don't reach a deal before 22-12-2012 we're doomed.

Don't be sorry - I am not :D Most of my rhetorical answers were made simply to emphasize your whole point - there may be so many other factors in the rent farce that we are not told, so we shouldn't really put too much trust in what either says - and especially not in what either says the...

Another common factor: The four different people worked to get the clubs finances balanced. But what is 'ruthlessly'? If they didn't control the costs that would be careless or negligent. The OP is on the right track - if what they do is working out for the good of the club we will accept...

True ... it's all rhetorical and speculative.

Oh, I need to add 10 characters outside the quote box ....

The club doesn't seem to accept they owe a million+. They started saying the rent is too high and have since paid what they think is a fair rent including matchday expenses. After many months ACL concur - the rent is too high and step by step their offers are getting close to what the club is...

You can say the same about the rent ... why did they think they were entitled to a rent reduction? But it seems they have gotten everybody to accept that the club should have a vastly improved rent deal - and so in a way there is 'some justification' in their first behaiviour (stopping the...

It was in a different thread - but I am happy that someone else has come up with this point as I think it may well be the key to understand why they have turned down the offer.

Yes - like somebody wrote yesterday:

I can't see how Higgs or ACL escapes this without losing. With a rent reduction even to £400k p y the profit of ACL is turned to a loss and especially Higgs investment seem tied up for many many years to come. The club may have turned down the offer if ACL insist the new rent is only valid...

So another rent offer is turned down - but why? All we know is ACL have said they have made an offer that they wouldn't make to any other tennant. That's fine then, but from what date? If the new rent was supposed to kick in from jan 2013, then I can see why it's turned down. The club probably...

Does it make a difference? It still seem a bit ironic.

So the ACL was set up to save the club and make sure it had a place to play ...

A few scaffoldings and it's a stadium ...

So we will play at Ryton from January ...

But if sisu leaves and if ccfc is restructered, ACL will have to write down the £1m+ anyway plus most likely accept a rent much lower than the reported 50% offer.

The farm is owned by his grand father ... obviously.

One of the things european football could adopt from american football is the option to challenge a referee decision. It doesn't take much longer than a faked injury to review a situation and get the decision right. It could weed out much of the cheeting, elbowing, dubious offside calls and...
