It cannot be approved, the FL rules will not allow it till we are out of Admin and the sales has gone through.
What he maybe trying o say is that Fishface and the Chairman of HTFC have an agreement.

so much for ACL being paid in full...looks like they will get c150K.

Personally I hope they do reject and drag sisu through the courts ( I suspect this may happen)
would also help if the fa and league stepped up to the plate, although the consensus is they are useless. I believe the FA and league tho are coming under increased pressure...fingers crossed
The sooner we get rid of SISU by whatever means ( Fair or foul) the better

There is a bonus if we have to play on Sundays. We will know how many points we will need to stay out of the bottom four.

Just to clarify part of the deal is an agreement that we don't move any games as agreed by the FA and FL.

So the FL are breaking their own rules? What a surprise!

if they are renting for 100k for a 7.5k seater stadium that will have work being done on it and having to share the venue that makes the ricoh at 400k look good value imo.

If sisu are seeking a judicial review regarding CCC loan to ACL, are they now being complicit I'm state aid regarding Northampton councils 'state aid' (loan) to ntfc, or is there a difference between the two?

FFS yourself - where does the BBC website say anything about a 'done deal'?

Even your own chairman yesterday was describing it as speculation - so unless you or Cobblers have got inside information from the league (clue: you haven't), then this is an entirely pointless wind up.

I didn't say anything about a done deal. I was referring to the already established fact that NTFC entered into discussions on the understanding that their fixtures wouldn't be affected.

I very much doubt Mr Srivaddhanaprabha has got the slightest interest in the subject.

Good too see you're not maintaining the 'done deal' pretence. I'm relieved.

And fair point on your chairman. It being a wind up, I hadn't really spotted you were a Leicester fan. One that can spell too. Was being the only one at school with an IQ higher than their shoe size worth all the bullying, I wonder.

Regardless, that thing about "NTFC entered into discussions on the understanding that their fixtures wouldn't be affected.", where's that been established as fact?

But it will keep ACL etc financially stronger and SISU want to weaken them so they can get the stadium cheaper:facepalm:

SISU acquired CCFC on several 'understandings' - get the contract signed, pull out FL rules and then hold NTFC to them. I would be a very worried NTFC fan if what you are saying is true. This lot have no regard for anything, your fans and your club will be a means to an end, what that end is you'll have plenty of time guessing as they twist and turn, if pushing your games out of the way so dear Joy can get to the shops easier, it will be done.

Believe it or not, that's not his original name. It was Raksriaksorn, but the Thai royal family gave them all a new surname as some sort of reward.

Proper loves the club he does. Used to go down Filbo and watch David Lowe and Jimmy Willis. Stood next to him at my first ever game in 1991.

Actually, I might be getting him confused with my dad's mate Kelvin.

Did Fisher promise Northants owner games wouldn't have to be moved. He's well known for always telling the truth

Ah, indeed it does, but I don't think that's necessarily an accepted fact yet.

And I wasn't quite suggesting Leicester folk have giant feet - but I'll accept that at least some of you have a half-decent sense of humour.
