    Legality

    What If In that Argument the Public authority suggested It maintained the level of buyout payment so as not to be open to action through their private Vehicle ACL of Colluding with another In defrauding the bank? I guess one way of looking at this is that the bank are not obliged to...

    Legality

    Having been in and around banking for most of my working life, sometimes it's preferable to walk away at a 'stop loss' position rather than have to spend disproportionate time monitoring or trying to predict a company's future trading. To a bank that's lending billions, it's a relatively small...

    Sorry Chief Dave I was attempting to offer some thoughts on your last paragraph but can't get the knack of quoting bits of a previous post!

    Legality

    If the assumption is correct that an agreement in principal had been reached by SISU and YB for, say, £7m, then Cov CC readily financed £14m and more or less cleared all of the YB borrowing, then SISU will no doubt base their case on this as an example of how public funds have been misused, as...

    Legality

    Wasn't it reported at the time that SISU had agreed a figure closer to £7m with Yorkshire Bank to buy out the debt, and in effect ACL with it? As the debt was considered 'doubtful' by YB effectively it's open market value became that £7m figure. No doubt SISUs argument is that the council paid...

    kick up the arse

    Tuesday will be key. It's a young side and I think they've exceeded expectations. There's bound to be blips along the way but as SP said earlier they've come so far this year. Hopefully we'll get the right reaction. I also think it will go to prove just how much of the dirty work Thomas gets...

    Waggott ... The best of a bad bunch?

    Yep. I like the cut of his jib. Whatever our long term solution, I hope he remains part of it. I imagine he would do a great job in a well run, organised club. Seems to have good relationships with managers too. Suggests he may not be as economical with the truth as some of his colleagues......

    Huddersfield set to lose their right back to Palace this afternoon......hopefully the 'undisclosed' fee will not be rapidly offered up for Cyrus.....

    Enigma. Never gave Marlon King a sniff in the League Cup, thought we'd unearthed a gem that night. Suspect distribution and sometimes dominated by smaller forwards, although with time and confidence he may find his groove. Don't think Robins was sure, but Pressley didn't take long to make up his...

    Leon available for transfer

    I think playing 'home' games 40 miles away, and moving fixtures to Sundays and Thursday evenings pretty much does the job of NOPM for itself, regardless of your personal standpoint! Bit much to consider this is in any way the fault of the fans??

    Favourite manager ever?

    I'm with Torch on Gordon Milne. Happy days when football was innocent and I held all things Sky Blue in god-like reverence, whilst trying to swap 20 assorted Football 78 cards to get that pesky Partick Thistle badge to complete the set! I have to admit to a soft spot for Jose mourhino. An old...

    Judicial Review

    I think a JR can specify a number of requirements, including the 'unwinding' the original transaction. This may be impractical though as I can't see any commercial lender would wish to advance ACL £14m to 'buy out' the CCC loan, especially as Yorkshire Bank were allegedly happy to sell the debt...

    Keys on Talksport

    I think the rent is just one of a number of issues for ACL, which is the game SISU are playing. Other revenues will drop and ACL themselves may be the subject of litigation from the likes of Ricoh. Expensive court cases will certainly stress their business model, and SISU are hoping that the...

    Keys on Talksport

    I think it's a question of distressing ACL to breaking point. There's rumblings of pending action by the likes of Ricoh (who would have been promised the exposure of first class(!) football) and other stakeholders who were 'sold' to under similar assumptions. It's unlikely that any further...
