into injury time now, are we going to get a last minute winner ?

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

 

[spider_ricoh]

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"

 

[Mary_Mungo_Midge]

Along with people praying for things etc.

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

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

A charity I don't give a fuck about and the twatty owners of ccfc squabbling over £29k.
Who the fuck cares.

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 ?

“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."

 

[The Gentleman]

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.

I am afraid to observe, you are the most condescending prat I've ever had the misfortune to come across on this forum.

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

Oh fuck off with your patronising dictionary swallowing shite. I mean even pre Sixfields.

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

See post #1719

Loving SISU self-destruct like this. Great to see Higgs putting the boot in after kicking SISU have given us fans.

 

[Hobo]

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!

i would perhaps suggest your in the wrong place then

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

Welcome to Higgs Trust Talk

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

Looks like the start of melt down on your side of the fence to be honest.

The thing is, there only seems to be one side of the fence. Has anybody been on here posting how they pray to god SISU win this etc etc?

He tries to hard with his queens English - he reminds me of chris Eubank - he's probably an insecure prick who has to develop this persona over a keyboard.

Ah I see so when you said "owners" you meant every single shareholder one of whom was my dad, not Richardson et al.

Im sure you were aware of that, but you'd rather take it another way. That's up to you.

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).

If I use a condescending tone to people who are habitual fuckwits, then I can sleep at night with that

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

But if it is key evidence it would have been used as an exhibit by one side or the other.

 

[ccfcway]

so your saying the word of our owner means nothing, thanks

you'll forgive me if i adopt that approach for the new stadium then

 

[Mary_Mungo_Midge]

Sixfields Apologists? What sad child you are.

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

 

[duffer]

Incidentally, what is the point of posting on a thread to say "wot a borin thread"?

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.

well, the right side of the fence will soon be confirmed by the judge !

Who has been awaiting a smoking gun?

I read all his posts in the voice of Hyacinth Bucket.

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

Boring post M8!

Oh fuck off with your patronising dictionary swallowing shite. I mean even pre Sixfields.

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

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?!?
