Well, it depends if you think Sisu and CCFC are one and the same thing - I don't. Any other owner could have negotiated a better rent, but Sisu didn't want to play nicely did they?
Fuck ACL been robbing the club blind ffs
Not taking sides, but by the club holding out and going through this process they have saved themselves £118,808 now the only thing stopping the return is ACL
Well, ACL said it in a press release.

Bet they don't pay until August 14th. No reason why they shouldn't have it paid today, the money is there ready and waiting and I am sure they want that barrier to negotiation removed.
They saved nothing! They have had to pay 480k they avioded 100k. Your they saved logic is the same as my misses when she goes to the sales. 'It was 50% off so I bought two of them'. Still empties the bank account.:jerkit:
Some clarity with the wording I think, so good news (if paid).
The JR appeal is now the sticking point, and remember that last week at the CCLSC Q&A TIm Fisher distanced Oitum (the club in his words) from the litigation. In other words, he is stating that the JR issue has been resolved as it is nothing to do with the club! Clever tactic indeed.
TF also states in today's press release that the club needs to "own it's own stadium". Last week he was stating that the club is definately going to build it's own stadium, and in the meantme work out an intermim return to the Ricoh. - two different standpoints there.
Fudge and counter fudge.
As far as I'm concerned that attempt to distance themselves is an extremely clear indication that there is no intention whatsoever of dropping the JR.
No two ways about it, it is still down to SISU to drop the JR appeal. Until they do, there will be no progress towards a return to Cov. I, for one, can't blame ACL for sticking to their guns on that part of the discussion having so overwhelmingly won the high court hearing & all the associated attempts to distress them. Once/if SISU drop the appeal then the onus will be on ACL to start compromising. Until that happens, (in my opinion), all SISU statements are the usual PR smoke & mirrors we have all become accustomed to.
Surely they saved 100k?
I reckon, purely because I started the thread, we should all argue and speculate about when the money will be paid even though none of us know.
THEY WON'T PAY IT UNTIL THE LAST SECOND
NO THEY WILL PAY IT TODAY
You forgot the bullshiters who have mates that will already know !
Couple of examples to work with.
Just a reminder that prior to the JR, most people here and many others including Ann Lucas, SBT etc. were calling for a rental return to the Ricoh. Can someone explain what the difference was back then with legal action pending but not a barrier to a return
Where are people saying they don't want a rental return to the Ricoh?
In at least some of the offers made by ACL prior to SISU moving the club away the dropping of legal action was a requirement for any deal to be completed so nothing has really changed on that front has it? To me its very simple. ACL have been very clear and if SISU are serious about coming back to the Ricoh on any sort of deal they should drop the legals and then things can move forward. Its unrealistic to expect ACL to do a deal with someone who is still actively trying to put them out of business.
Basically you don't want any concessions given to CCFC while sisu are in charge do you? You're not alone, that's why we're fucked.
Dave what legals are you refering too exactly ?
Get fucking moving then. I'm coming over on me hols tomorrow. Cardiff next week would be good.
They haven't appealed though have they? No reason not to talk once this is paid. (unless they do of course appeal)The JR is not concluded until the deadline for appeal has passed, so far every indication SISU have made is that they intend to appeal. So either SISU state that they won't be appealing or everyone just sits around waiting for the appeal deadline to pass to see what happens.

Correct Chiefdave, both have to accept each others existence and work together. There has to be compromise on both sides, not the normal SISU it is our way or no way and forever moving goalposts. If I remember correctly the last time Fisher had a deal on the table it was wrecked by Seppala.
If only ACL hadn't refused to speak to the club before them paying the money, they could have already agreed a deal in principle ready for signing this morning and season tickets on sale this afternoon!
