We all know the history. I know who is to blame. And it wasn't SISU until recently. No he didn't post everything SISU have done. That is because he didn't post anything SISU had done. Just what they were supposed to do......like negotiating, and we all know they haven't done that but he still puts it in as a bullet point.

In fairness to Torchy, I appreciate that he does at least try to validate his opinion with evidence.

Ultimately I'm of the opinion that regardless of all of the history, we are where we are.

Our current owner's biggest failing, in my eyes, is refusing to come back to the Ricoh under the current deal. We could play there, earn more money, and the owners could still negotiate for all of the other things that they think the club needs. If those negotiations fail, and the owners can put together a compelling financial case for it, then I'd be right behind them trying to build a new ground.

(I might even go and join the committee).

I have shared them enough times and you know it.

But just quickly yet again just about everyone that run our club for a lot of years. Each one has fucked our club up. And now it is the turn of SISU.

I think it would be quite relevant to add the time period when "Arena 2000" was being considered for the new national stadium.

I'm surprised that one-one has mentioned the SBT's work on this where they support all of the action points with references. Or perhaps that's because it is factually correct?

It all sounded very plausible until 8510 - that's pure fantasy.

No girl i've ever been with has been able to walk after going to bed with me.


To be fair, I do cut their legs off to compensate for my poor sexual performance.

Feck me, Torchy. Talk about an edited iteration of the chronology. I expose you as Winston Smith, and claim my £5!

I think my favourite bit is: 'Aug 2012: ACL start legal action', without bothering to dignify the preceding 'rent strike' with an entry. Even though the net effect - ACL's financial woes - are deemed worthy of selective inclusion.

You forgot the bit we discussed the other day too, about SISU appointing an insolvency specialist, way before we entered administration.....

Nothing is "aimed" at anyone. All the points are facts in the public domain. Nothing is pro-SISU as I'm not pro-SISU. I don't have a SISU hat either but be my guest if you want to think of another one of your "amusing" names for me.

Of course, you can always do some research yourself.

Nearly every part is aimed at CCC. Not one point aimed at SISU. And we are supposed to have an unbiased debate on this?

It's bullet points. I also never mentioned the name of the Councillor. I'm sure you've not learnt anything and knew it all yourself so I look forward to your version.

Possibly true but it is a very 'selective' and somewhat truncated version of events. I wonder why you thought it was necessary when there are more detailed versions already in the public domain? to be honest I'm a somewhat disappointed because I would have expected better from you.

I didn't think it was "necessary", just something I decided to do. It is admittedly truncated, potted, brief or whatever word you wish to use. I said it wasn't exhaustive. Do you realise how much material there is? For those bullet points alone there are over 30 A4 sheets of supporting articles.

To be honest I think I can live with you being a little disappointed in me.

I know why you only used the points that try to make CCC look bad. If you would have put some of the truth in that made CCC look good or SISU look as they are Nick would have posted 'same old shit' :wave:

Actually I do realise how much material there is available. I've been collecting and collating information for my own interest for some years and now have over 400 articles etc in my files ranging from company accounts to articles posted on here. As you have obviously been travelling down the same road you should have known better than to be so selective in the points you offer, it would not have been difficult to cover some of the more salient points that you omitted (as raised by some of the more discerning posters in this thread). Or were just setting out to be provocative rather than informative? If the former then you've certainly succeeded , if the latter then in my opinion you've fallen some what short .
