Sure. So why aren't they asking SISU relevant questions as well?

If they refused to allow them to cover games, would that not be a breach of contract? Surely Sisu wouldn't break a contractual agreement?

Don't believe sisu are too concerned about breaking contracts

The way Linnell reads out the scores like its final score pisses me off

This is starting to piss me off.

Is he afraid to say he wants to speak to someone from SISU?

Fletcher - need to find new owners who will put in £30m, £40m or £50 m per year.

Wow, those losses are really building up!

Also said that rent was set while the club was in the Premiership. Err, no, it wasn't.

I think we all agree that the football club needs to own the ground, but he's being a little simplistic in his analysis.

Fletcher is talking garbage if he's said the losses are on that scale-our only expenditure is on wages (since the rent seems optional) and those will be, including all non footballing staff, at a maximum of £5-6m a year. He's even wider of the mark than Linnell.

Reckon he was potentially referring to a post operation Premiership campaign success.

The only surprise here is that we're expressing surprise when there is none .For the whole epoch of this SAGA ,their coverage has been Skewed towards the SISU viewpoint .Now that possibly suggests Bias, Fear ,or Ignorance of how the Fanbase /folk of this City actually feel about /towards the clubs owners.Strangely while having a pint before the game today this topic cropped up with a member of the printed press,he kind of concurred but thought the CT was equally biased the other way.

Unfortunately I suspect he was drunk, hence his historically innacuate performance.

I can accept someone who has a different opinion to me, however I cannot accept historical innacuracies.

I don't think you do, hence why you say he was drunk. I've no axe to grind, wasn't particularly keen on the chap, but had his point of view. Doesn't mean he was drunk! He'll know more about it than you or I or anyone else on this forum who's slagged him off.

At the risk of drawing ire and contempt, and as much as I deplore SISU for the way they've handled their communications with the fans, could someone explain again how ACL's actions have helped the club? Please don't simply reply with "because SISU mentioned liquidation". I'm asking not to be contentious - I simply don't understand, but would like to.

PF has forgotten more than we know about the ricoh in the last 8 years or so, if anybody listens again they will find he is accurate in a lot of things regarding the ownership of the whole stadium.
I dislike sisu and wish they had never arrived here , BUT as has been mentioned before the current owners of the stadium were meant to be CUSTODIANS not the outright owners. Forget the Higgs share ,they will sell back to anybody, its the council that is the problem because now their nose is in the trough they will never sell to anybody.
Regarding the 40-50 mill PF alluded to ,he was talking over x amount of years not per season. I personally appreciated his honesty when he was here and as he said one of the reasons he left was because he felt too many lies would be told as to how we were being shafted.
By the way ,he wasn't drunk everyone from Burnley sounds like that.

He seems to forget he signed the rental agreement. He also seemed to forget what division the club was in at the time.

Also the last 3 texts he did read out we're all anti ACL. Not one against the tossers who own us. And I don't care what side people are on that sort of % against ACL is no way representative of how the fans are divided.

He glossed over the many texts urging him to get answers from SISU as it didn't fit in with his own agenda of taking ACL to task. "Yes we've asked them loads of times" wasn't good enough as far as I'm concerned. Joy Seppala and Tim Fisher were at the game where they had reporters! He wasn't too fussed with finding out what the hell they're up to...where we're going to be playing Friday...where is this golden share held. No he was just obsessed with finding out how admin was going to help the Club when PKWH etc have already explained their position on this, whether people believe it or not!

Some of his claims were utter drivel.

Come on Torchy, do you think West Ham have bought the Olympic Stadium?? :facepalm:

Having said that, you do think SISU are '...our saviours...'

Well the club can allow anyone they like to broadcast matches, and Linnell does the post match meet & greets in the corporate section - Guess who pays for that?

Quite frankly he is so biased he may well be in breach of the BBC's code of conduct. Certainly he seems to be gaining a lot of resentment amongst fans over his disgraceful stance.

Thats because Jimmy Hill was a legend who knew what he was talking about - whereas Linnell is a brown clown, who seems to be utterly in league with SiSU, is unbelievably biased, went out of his way to insult oggy's wife and is an all round vile piece of work - no wonder he is on the side of his paymaster's. The beeb could do a lot worse than get rid of these 3 idiots and get some decent presenters
