Think possibly scuppered by Martin Reeves moving from ACL to Yorkshire Bank, but does not mean that the plan was not agreed in the first place.

This pretty much covers the whole thing. Believe or disbelieve as you like, but you can't deny that there is some plausibility to the whole thing. All come out in the wash in the JR, which, fidiciary responsibilty or not, was something that ACL wanted dropped...

As I alluded to earlier though, does not the whole admin/points reduction etc all stem from a possible renegeing on an agreement between Sisu/ACL/CCC to enable Sisu to take over the Ricoh lease because they wanted force some sort of "regime change"? If that is the case, then all culpability...

They would have been happy enough apparently with all of that if the JR was dropped though?

Genuinely think we would have been. Part of it was the change of plan from Sisu taking the ACL loan to CCC taking it on instead, therefore giving no stake in the Ricoh. If, as has been said, and not denied as far as I'm aware, the original plan between ACL/SISU was to deliberately withold the...

The old law of "unintended consequences" definitely came into play here. We all know that Sisu are a particularly nasty, hard headed hedge-fund who like to get their own way(The majority rejoiced in that when they came in). Did anybody really think that they'd just roll over and fuck off?

They did make dropping the JR a condition to accepting the CVA.

So it was a great success getting rid of Sisu and replacing them with Otium then? Would you say that that the attempted "coup" by ACL to try and force out Sisu for their more favoured owners, by instigating(though not actually completing it due to Sisu just beating them to it) administration...

Not really worth coming back really was it? You get points deductions for moving ground now do you? Must be the only club in the land that has fans that actually take pleasure in points deductions. Put the club into admin the day before ACL did, and was something that the Sky Blues Trust...

Yeah, we should have asked for them to take 20 points off instead of 10. 10 not even close to being enough punishment for the team for upsetting our landlords.

Based on what the council told her themselves, then she wasn't falsely accusing them.

Be good to see them again, last saw them in '91 in Germany on the Pills 'n' Thrills tour, were excellent.

MMM will be all over your ass!

All a bit Invasion of the Bodysnatchers. Are there an unusual amount of large marrows stored near the Sisu offices?

You're right, in fact remember you jumping to the defence of Appleton wielding your sword of truth and decency when such accuations were made about him on here.

The crying and gnashing of teeth over his departure was something to behold. Think he was going to be sold for 10 times what we got for him within 2 years, even £35million I think from one poster. He was alright, nothing more, but would do a good job in League One.

Has he not been sold for £30million yet then?

Pretty much already happened here with the conncection between Ranson's Hedge fund loaning money to Cardiff to buy players whilst he was Chairman. http://www.theguardian.com/sport/2011/mar/31/ray-ranson-cardiff-city

Only when it suits apparently.

Never caught on like Miss World did though unfortunately.
