the problem I have with this is you fail to see that it is still 'your football club' regardless of who owns it surely? To that end I will support and watch their games and pray for success. If success comes then the quicker such deplorable owners will eventually go won't they? So a stance...

Now I'm no fan of SISU let me make that clear. I'm also no fan of the council controlled ACL. However the outpouring by some here that SISU are still the devil incarnate and wanting to still promote any way to get rid of them is just ludicrous. So please now the dust is settling on the...

That's a very narrow perspective of what really happened if I may say so. You act as if the council did not benefit from all of that? Others gave up a lot of money, negotiated contracts with the likes of Tesco and so it goes on and on... far more to it than that narrow view I'm afraid and too...

...and now I think the council will be burning the midnight oil to come up with something better than the ACL statement the other day about free rent at the Ricoh. They need to think long and hard now before they make their next move. The corporate world may be unfamiliar to them but they need...

Your suggesting that once built SISU will own it and rent it to whoever owns the football club is a cautionary one for sure. Your saying a hedge fund holds onto an outpost without selling it for increased value as it would form part of the football club? If SISU's plan (as been stated) is to...

I think if such a deal had been offered to SISU dong we would all be happily looking forward to the first game at the Ricoh in 6 weeks! the figures do add up! the sponsored build, the loans repayable and the fact it will value the club much higher with it's own freehold stadium and all income...

Otis ACL/Council are not willing enough to make a deal for the Ricoh though are they? So where does anyone go from there? Sentiment as you describe I can't argue with but corporate reality is another. You may not want to believe in a new stadium that the football club will actually own and...

The never never land you talk about O may well come true. Unless the Ricoh is assigned to the football club for the long term and not operated by a management company for profit on behalf of taxpayers then it will not be sustainable. ACL and the council are foolish when it comes to dealing...

Perhaps you will stop backing these self publicising clowns. Most on here want to believe anything that is not coming from SISU. Just sayin'...

Partially correct turkey trot but not accurate. However I agree with the sentiment but that's still no reason we are here today and not helped by a lack of support from the council when required most for an obvious situation that would not go away until finally addresses in some form to the...

To the OP: If as it seems you are against and totally disinterested in a new stadium as in your opinion it would be "ruinous" then why are you so interested in him answering those questions on it? Could not be that behind your veil you know as I do a new ground within easy reach would see...

Of course they will not bid on owning the football club! They can't even manage the stadium properly or even pay their mortgage without a bail out? How on earth would they have funded a football club? It just tells me what idiots there are at ACL and bungling councillors everywhere.

I can't quite believe what I hear on here from some of you. It is at times so self interesting. Why not look at it the way it is and climb out of the bubble some of you are in and recognise that this is not purely all SISU's fault? There are culprits that are as much culpable as they are in...

Why will it go to court if SISU are the preferred bidder? Should they regain control then that suggest others have bid and failed. Why would any of those 'others' wish to challenge that in court? Can't see Haskell spending outrageously on a fantasy of Joe Elliott's battling with SISU in court...

I'm a football supporter and to that end I will watch my team where ever they play if they are capable of fielding a team! It's not about the politics of ownership when it comes right down to it. It's about the players on the pitch, the points we win and lose. I just simply won't be inspired to...

This is a lot of smoke and mirrors I'm afraid. ACL are now realising SISU will indeed ground share and build elsewhere leaving ACL with a white elephant. I said ACL could not survive without the football club and the foot traffic if produces for all vendors at the sight a very long time ago...

I fear not very much of that will be asked OSB!

They don't need merging. ACL should not exist. the council should stop trying to operate a football club at arms length and dish out a long, long lease to the football club.

Just caught this thread late. Oh dear he was back again? I see many on here like blowing smoke up peoples rear end when it suits them? :facepalm:

I think David Beckham is odds on for the gong. Our Jimmy should get one really, I do agree. Think he has an OBE or something ? Sometimes you can relate to who it's given too and other times you can't really understand it. Brian Clough is a great shout but he was not an establishment guy was...
