I agree, they are all as bad as each other. The thing is sisu own the club so it's their duty to do right, but the council played on the heart strings of fans about how they love the club.

I dont think many will disagree when you say they have ask been at it.

Not sure what you mean by that bit Nick, but I don't think they overly played to the fans. I must admit I was a little shocked when ACL was sold to WASPS - but in the cold light of day, when you think of the position that ACL/CCC were left in - I see why they did it. Have a good think about that before you reply.

No doubt they're both filthy liars. One thing that also sticks in the throat is the council coming out and telling everyone that relationships and trust needs rebuilding, whilst all the while doing a sneaky deal with the franchise.

Yes, and then TF immediately confirming that the stadium is going ahead and the JR is continuing thus justifying the sneaky deal instead of arranging a meeting to push home the relationship building. He would have at least got my support had he been told no point In having a meeting - your out anyway.

They were going on about loving the club etc. If they were straight up would it be half as bad?

I agree mark thing for me though one is protecting a CCC owned stadium (hopefully still with a chance of CCFC having a slice of the pie at some point although the council have bled CCFC dry in rent) the other is a hedge fund tying to distress a company and gain ownership of the stadium on the cheap for their investors not CCFC and imho CCFC would never seen any benefits of SISU owning the stadium (or the new one if ever built)

The fact that SISU can not own the stadium now for me still gives me hope that CCFC will someday gain rights to some of the income of the stadium eventually.

Didn't Joy refer to the club as "her beloved sky blues" after moving her beloved sky blues to Northampton? Had she even seen CCFC play a game at that point?

If there WAS anything in the SISU JR case as Reid seems to be dredging up, Sisu and their laywers were spectacularly poor at presenting any sort of coherent argument. Its almost as if by the time of the JR they couldnt be arsed.
Click to expand...

I agree with that. Although I think their lawyers did try this and present this as evidence but the trouble is its playground stuff really. A council worker probably Ann said "hell will freeze over" so what if she did fucking hell if we scrutinized everything everyone said we wouldn't go outside our house.

Yes the council aren't whiter than white and certainly do tell some porkies but within reason they are always going to beat a hedge fund in a battle over their property and area.

Fisher probably said Ann is a prick but so what. It's nothing new to slag each other off on a personal or business level. We do it on here every day don't we.

Just think this Lea reid article is silly and serves no point other than to direct the attention away from the appeal getting REJECTED!!!!

Not that I'm a shit stirrer but didn't fisher call joy "bonkers"?

I'm not quite sure why the CET have waded into this story.. nothing that the Observer has printed is relevant to them.

If Les Reid really is the SISU PR machine that he is made out to be, every time the CET come up with some witty retort then surely they are portrayed as the 'paper of choice' for the council lovers?

Interesting the KKK gets mentioned.

Yesterday I was branded a racist on here because I had a different opinion to someone else regarding Sisu and CCC (what we were talking about in the topic had nothing to do with different races or nationalities).

I have used the report feature to raise my concerns about this but nothing seems to have happened. I appreciate that might have been missed by the mods, and hope that is the case. However if not, and this site is descending to the levels where libellous statements such as that can be made, it isn't a good sign.

It was classic witchhunt stuff, I will happily debate anything to do with this whole mess, but I don't expect shit like that to be made up and spread about me.

It's all smoke and mirrors, we only get to see 10% of what goes on when bits come out.
I know this Sisu have history and form and a leopard never changes it's spots.

I wouldn't trust Sisu to feed my cat and on the other hand ann Lucas needs to clear a lot of muddy puddles....

At the moment the council are winning. They have two teams at the Ricoh, have offloaded their share and the loan is being repaid on time. CCFC are in soapy bubble. SISU are appealing appeals and getting nowhere. So, I would say CCFC fans are losing - there is nothing going on around here for us to be celebrating about.

None of the actual loan has been repaid yet, only interest so far.

On my housing loans, I pay mainly interest at the beginning steadily reducing in proportion as time goes on. So that would be correct.
