Good point. All those hours studying the finer points of commercial law and forensic accountancy seem of little use now. Christ, we're just going to have to talk about the football! Where's the fun in that, eh.

Even if we never get back to the PL, I am just immensely grateful that Robins turned us back into a normal club

Miss Court Cases

You'll be wanting new stadium plans next.

Maybe someone could ask Kevin Maton to sentimentally suggest publically to Richardson that he might 'drop the legals' just for old times sake and a good bit of nostalgia?

Funny this thread should pop up today, I was only thinking about SISU & court cases earlier whilst mixing the batter for my pancakes.

Did we ever hear what the exact outcomes of them were?

Think about how many other fanbases in the EFL don't even have a concept of what the "golden share" is.

Added to the Tim Fisher thread, but looks like Sisu may be back in the football business and taking over Cheltenham Town...

So what you're saying is that the self proclaimed distressed debt fund that likes to "batter people in court", did not, in fact, batter anyone in court?

Someone seriously needs to write a Tim Fisher book of quotations..... Turkeys and Eagles, and all that.

Some of them comments are taking the piss aren’t they?

I mean ignoring the stadium issues - SISU tore support apart, sold everything and were generally a disaster.

the only thing they got right was as someone putting - finding someone (getting lucky) who cared enough to perform miracles.

Southampton preferred going into administration than dealing with them chancers

The current F&PP test consists of:
1. Prove you’ve got funds? …. Having said that SISU and funds could prove an issue.
2. Have you got any unspent criminal convictions?
It’ll be interesting to see how this plays out.
Im staggered that Seppela is contemplating getting involved in football again.

How much is Cheltenham's ground worth? That's what I'd be worried about if I was a Robins fan...

Ground share at the CBS ahoy?

For just a small monthly subscription, we'd be happy to share our knowledge of Judicial Reviews, Administration, and "hunt the golden share" with the Cheltenham forum.

Free tip: Just on the last bit, don't hire that Appleton wanker.

How many houses could that plot accommodate? Only asking for a not very friendly property speculator.

Is there any actual source for this past some random person thinking they spotted her at a game? For all the years she was here she could sit near me at the CBS and I wouldn't be certain it was her so think you'd need a bit more evidence!

Doesn't make any sense to me. You can see why they bought us, it was Ranson selling them on the idea of easy, huge, profit. But with how it worked out why on earth would she want to get involved again.

Can't believe getting hold of a small-ish piece of land is worth all the hassle. Got to be easier ways to develop housing if that's the plan.

It is pure speculation thus far.

If she gets involved again then she made money out of owning City and I could see a potential investor in Cheltenham turning to her to do the dirty work on cutting costs at a club before coming in as a white knight.
