We have our eight years left on our rental deal, so whatever happens it'll be as you were for us. Potentially better in fact, if the new owner is solvent!

Yeah stop being cryptic - needs to say yes or no - have they made a bid? And is it bigger than Ashley’s

Actually thinking about it they could send you for the big session but I’d guess Big Mike when he asks “what you want mate”’- when you ask if there’s any Tenants super strength in a can he may see through the subterfuge

It clearly wouldn't be any better, or the creditors would take that. No room for emotion when you're trying to claw back losses!

Are you claiming if Ashley takes over that’s fucked the club?

I will be dissapointed if he only gets the stadium as we will still be tenants and he may distress us.

Over moon if he buys us same time tho.

I don't deny anything. Overall sisu have done alright as council was charging us 1.4m rent and now they ain't. We are better championship team now than we were when they took over and we had triple silverware in-between.

If Ashley gives me a bag for life and a pack of Donnay socks I’m fucking in. I don’t care what anyone says on this forum. Those bags have seen me through more house moves than a crackhead on the dance floor.

Just sick of it mate. It’s always allusions to mysterious forces stopping them doing basic stuff and how there’s a great plan out there and it never turns up. At this point I believe nothing I can’t verify with my own eyes and all evidence so far points to get another Sisu miscalculation. If that’s not the case Joy needs to get on another 12 year olds YouTube channel or Les Reid’s blog and put the record straight.

Of course they’ve fucked up. The due diligence should have occurred at the NOI.

Yes that includes the council. When I was watching the council meeting and Duggins ended up going “have a secret meeting” to Ridley it pissed me off just as much. Everyone needs to come clean and stop Fucking fans around.

As for the Mars bar: Duggins is fucking useless and shifty and arrogant, some of the old guard the same, the whole thing needs a clean out. Doesn’t mean I can’t see why decisions have been made though. We’ve been over and over this with two JRs none the less and Sisus story didn’t hold up.

We also bring nearly 500k in footfall per season and give the place great free publicity when we're on sky etc.

Unfortunately Seppala, Fisher and Boddy are habitual liars. They have an agenda which is opposed to what supporters want.

Once this takeover happens they will be pariahs - no one will want them at the club anymore.

They couldn’t even run a commercial set up at the football club. The notion they are remotely capable of total stadium management is farcical.

It’s too many lies, too many enemies and too much incompetence and blame shifting. The buck stops with them and no one else.

Why? It pretty much sums them up. Hopefully they don't playing stupid if/when Ashley does bid for the club, take what's on offer and go.
They won't win a fight with him.
