I'm sorry they question everything Michael does or the Trust do for that matter?

WHY???

It wasn't a positive post, it was a dig at those (Nick, Grendel, Torch, etc) who dared to question the offer:

Never Never Never wash your mouth out.

Sorry but it was the Council and the Higgs that saved us without them we would have been de-funked years ago.

I never liked Sisu which is why picked holes in them from the start.

Majority of people not picking holes in things is why we ended up where we are.

Pretty much everybody who ends a post with "Sisu Out", used to end their posts with "Sisu saved us".

Constructive questions actually help rather than aimless back patting.

So what should people apologise for?

As I said, Michael should maybe move out of his green house or stop throwing stones himself.

Most people have praised the trust lately, I know I have since it seems to have changed.

So accusing someone of being no better then sisu and then saying that they are doing this for media coverage is Constructive.

Maybe the Accusers should have phoned him, as he seems to be very good on the phone as it happens.

As for the Trust changing sorry seemed to have missed that one!!

See you on the march then

Well considering the main defence against any questions was to compare kcic to sisu kind of says it was much like sisu.

It's constructive in the fact that surely he should be acting in a better manner and setting an example but it seems he just gets back patted no matter what anyway.

Yes they have changed, when was the last silly statement from the trust? They used to be weekly.

Nick I as said before who gives details of business transactions before they have even been acknowledge by the party they are intended for.

If he had posted them on here you would then accuse him of being unprofessional and rightly so.

Grendel does multi million pound deals apparently does he post them on the internet first to see that everyone agrees? wouldn't be employed for long if he did.

I would have said "that's a great deal, it is really putting the pressure on now".

Who says they have 48 hours before going to the press in a business deal? Who goes online and makes bitchy statements about the people they are trying to do a deal with?

It was a non goer from the start I guess but some how again he is a hero when in fact all that happened was a letter was written.

Sounds a bit like SISU to be honest.

In fairness you are both making reasonable points around this.

My point is doesn't matter what he has tried to do the same people have rubbished everything he has tried to do.

He took out time to do the WHY, WHEN at Arsenal and Notts County didn't hand out or print themselves.

But then again anything that has been organised by anyone has been shit, but no alternatives have been given, organised or attended by the same posters.

.....other than members of the Higgs family have been lifelong supporters, just like ourselves, of our club and had helped the club out previously. IIRC they loaned our club something like 1.5m.......maybe either to cover the rent on HR after it had been sold or was our clubs full payment towards the Ricoh for which it was given a 50% share in ACL.......and then needed more money to keep our club afloat. For this our club offered equity of the 50% ACL share on the agreement that it would buy it back when it could afford to.

Then we got SISU.............

To be fair he showed some very sisu-esque traits during this episode. Refused to answer or even acknowledge questions from fans. Refused a phone call from Mark Labovitch to discuss then twisted that for his own propaganda. I thought, despite the fact I don't always agree with him, that Michael was better than that. It's disappointing.

When you are just a go-between there are not many answers you can give. Ask Fisher. He agreed previously that an offer given was a good one. Then Joy said no. Made Fisher look like the twat he sounds like on the radio.

I'm sure they ask themselves that very question everyday. Buy then again, who could have predicted the arrival of sisu and the shit storm they've created since arriving. Hindsight is a wonderful gift.

So then by comparing him to Fisher, you agree that's he's open to questionning on his submission just like many on here question Fisher?

It can't be one rule for one Astute and one rule for another.
