That's an entirely different matter though @Grendel, isn't it? So did the Council "force" the sale of CCFC to SISU or not? I say, not. Blame the Council for whatever you like, but they didn't force the sale of CCFC to SISU. As you said, they were the 'most appropriate' party.

Even with administration, CCFC was unsustainable under the old, pre-SISU regime and certainly, Geoffrey wouldn't have got anywhere near the amount of money back.

I've only got your word for it on Gidney then. So SISU was the most appropriate bidder. Best of a bad bunch. Blaming the Council for CCFC being sold to the 'most appropriate' bidder seems a bit of a stretch. We are where we are, and what they've done since then has been catastrophic.

There a bit of conjecture there Grendel, particularly about the football club being an obstacle. There's no evidence to suggest Gidney had this notion at the time of SISU's purchase. SISU paid £1m for the option on the Higgs shares. So back to your original point, how did the Council force...

But ACL wasn't for sale at the time, was it? Had a valuation been done?

I'd like a supporters body that's fit for purpose, but I also need the club and their owners to properly engage with them. Boddy has always been communicative and responded happily to questions I've posed him, but it needs to be widened to include the whole community of fans, including those...

How would they have acquired this share? Gift or pay for it?

I see you're choosing to ignore this question then @Grendel

I'd generally no interest on being on here at all Mark until Grendel pointed out I'd been mentioned.

Yes. That's it in a nutshell. I had a good natter last night to two people who I attended the Ricoh with regularly who've taken up season tickets at STA. They've no real interest in the politics, and as I wasn't at the game last week, I was keen to understand which players stood out and how we...

My point from then still stands. I want the club to do more. I want the club to have a plan. The only thing we've seen is the oft derided "The Way Forward" article which is strangely still available on the club's website.

To be fair, I've found this place less than civil since I first came on. Grendel told me to fuck off on my second or third ever post. It didn't improve.

Well Grendel calling me a C**t for starters. Not even thought to report it as I'd assumed whatever he does is generally tolerated anyway.

I didn't offer a thing. As for moderating things that are offensive of abusive, I'd say you're falling well below a particularly low bar there.

Yeah, you've mentioned this before. I've read some detail around this, but I'm interested to learn about how something was 'demanded'. Is it correct that all the other buyers wanted the stadium included as part of the deal and SISU were the only ones who were prepared to take on the club with...

I appreciate that, thank you. As I've said before, I'm a very infrequent visitor here. I appreciate that there are multiple parties involved and there are plenty of decisions taken by the Council I wish hadn't happened. I still stand by my view that the catalyst and instigator for all of our...

Thanks for the clarity. As I said, I don't go to the meetings, so I wasn't aware. I am now. Well the evidence does suggest that he is, now you've told me exactly how you came to this conclusion and that it was discussed at a meeting I didn't attend. Prior to these last few updates from you...

I've heard this from you, but there's no information of it online I can find, unless you'd care to point me at it.

Yes, I found all of that too. But he's not at the trust any more and apparently I'm supposed to know why!
