You can't score a last minute winner when you are 10-0 down.

Just as an aside, given that top QC's can charge up to £5000 per hour I reckon that SISU's legal costs for 3 days will be several multiples of £29,000 by now.

Only if they did indeed hire a "top QC"

Along with people praying for things etc.

It does get more interest than a match thread / video of highlights thread. Sadly.
Click to expand...

I'm sorry Nick to again remind you this is of a consequence far greater than any given match; and will attract a level of interest proportional to an event that could shape the very existence of our club.

Your continued bewilderment in that regard, is on par with that of most Sixfields apologists, I'm afraid to observe

Given that there is ample evidence that suggests the club acted with zero financial controls previouy if say it would be very easy to argue that was the case in a courtroom. We had an embargo when we did not pay for ward at Bolton - was she aware of that - probably - did she have to approve non payment - unlikely, I'm sure there will be minutes of a board meeting that will reveal the extent of her involvement.

Don't we have her level of involevement in her below statement ?

That's not what she said, she said that it was a club decision and not something that sisu had approved.

Joy is the Company Director for Sisu so how can you say it isn't something Sisu hadn't approved when Joy said this in her interview with Les Reid (extract below together with her quote she has been hands on for the last two years and the interview was published 26/09/2013)?

She is irritated by any impression that no rent at all was paid since last April, when the club began withdrawing the full £100,000-a-month payment, claiming it was unfairly above market rate.
Ms Seppala said the club had continued to pay matchday costs, adding: “Broadly speaking, the council still owes the club £400,000 with a rates rebate. The club owed net rent of £600,000. The result is that we owed £200,000 net.
“We didn’t want to distress ACL, but the club couldn’t afford to pay the rent, especially given the Financial Fair Play rules (which limits spending on the team to 60pc of revenue). We wanted to do a deal (with the council and ACL). We wanted to go together to Yorkshire Bank (to buy out ACL’s “mortgage” for cheaper than the £14million the council paid in January).


“What I can say definitively is that since I’ve become involved in the last two years I have not regretted any of the decisions that we’ve made.
“I believe this is the right position for us to be in, given all the circumstances we were dealt.

True but lets be honest if the case was kicked out there would be meltdown. Bent judges, threatened witnesses - it would be hilarious.

Maybe you follow law cases like this closely as you know more about them then football?

I have not noticed any evidence been put forward in the form of documents. All seems a bit he said she said.

They might decide both parties tried to do a deal, you both messed each other around, both both incurred costs, tough!

Means nothing. The legal definition stands - minutes of meetings would have to be observed.

I think both sides were allowed to submitt documentation prior to the trial and it may be publically available when it's all finished.

Hey, I had to give up my share too (or more technically, the missus's share which I'm claiming half ownership of!).

I wouldn't begrudge that if it had gone to owners who at least behaved in a way approaching honorable. In fact, even 'reasonable' would've have done. Who would've guessed that they would turn out to be utter incompetents. (I don't blame Joe Elliot either, fwiw - it looked like the only option at the time).

The saddest are the folk who have awaited the 'smoking gun', and all this council subterfuge to come out in court, who have had a taster of it in the last few days, and still refuse to see what's right in font of them; and still have no shame, and will happily trot along using the limp disguise of 'supporting the lads'. You're not supporting the lads, you're supporting the actions of those who are killing the club - but are too selfish to see past that clear fact

Yes every single shareholder is an owner of the business of which they hold shares in. I was talking about all shareholders and not just the major ones (Higgs/Robinson), because they were all owners of our club. I'm sorry if you took any offence at this, none intended. I agree with you about Richardson and very glad he wasn't involved with the club any longer than he was and that was arguably too long. I don't think though he was a shareholder at the end though otherwise his name would doubtless have reared up like a ghastly ghost from the past when Sisu came in and wanted his shares.

No the saddest folk are those who come onto an online message anonymously and tell people they should feel ashamed and are selfish for supporting their team.

You are a pompous, arrogant c-unit.

Yep, after judging the evidence then of course it should be confirmed. Rather than just "hoping" somebody wins or loses because of who they are without any actual evidence

So, pre-Sixfields, were we not meant to be interested then, huh? What about when Joy was seemingly wanting to liquidate the club unless she got what was wanted. Was that more or less important than the Colchester game?

In recent times, the off-field antics have always been more important than any given game. That's why we ended up in Northampton, if it hasn't escaped your attention?!?
