Who we selling to make up this debt??
Will the order to pay court costs put a spanner in the works for any potential Ricoh return? What a mess this all is.
It's an odd feeling, on one hand I'm gutted the club will be faced with more debt, but also glad Sisu have been held accountable.
Not that hard at the moment. Meet with FL and show them details of two potential sites, the impact assessments and that they are trying to negotiate a deal for one of them. Bear in mind that the FL have had lots of experience with the likes of Rotherham (approx. 610 days from leaving Millmoor to purchasing land for new stadium) and Brighton (years) so I doubt there will be too much pressure from the FL before next spring.
I'm not wishing the club into a new stadium BTW but I am slightly concerned by the number of people dismissing the idea of a new venue out of hand, especially as Sisu do have form when it comes to this kind of thing.

Could you expand on this please Rob. Also, I base my view that the new stadium will never happen due to the evidence at hand and my professional experience. WHy are you pushing the new stadium line?

Makes no sense. He went missing after Christmas. His discipline is questionable (definitely gained weight towards the end of the season). If he's on a lower wage he'll be retained. Baker isn't and seemed out of favour.Fleck would be my guess. Decent player not on a big wage that needs to be matched.
Correct me if I'm wrong but were'nt both them clubs actually homeless? You know, in the real sense of the word
The new stadium wouldn't be such a big issue if we were playing in Coventry whilst it happened. We are still at least 3 years away (I would say more realistically at least 5-8 years away) from walking in to a new stadium. How many fans will be lost by then?
Agreed although the timescales might be off. If fans really want the club back in Cov sooner rather than later then they need to get ACL & Sisu to discuss. No matter how tempting it might be to pick a side, the only way is to push them all in. If we care about lost fans, even more so. Thing is, we talk a good game...

He looked in good shape a couple of days ago. Was also one of our better players. He is also still a young player who has experience. Much more of a target than Baker.

a copy of the refusal of apeal can he found on the CT website:

again pretty damning for SISU, Seams they even tried to get the appeal put through as a test case because it is "Novel in the private market operators test" scraping the barrel by the sounds of it
Fair enough. I bow to your more up to date knowledge.He looked in good shape a couple of days ago. Was also one of our better players. He is also still a young player who has experience. Much more of a target than Baker.
Pretty sure this Is his last season ,so are they going to let him go for (compensation) next summer?
Would be a good idea if we could make Joy see sense. But she won't listen to us. Looks like she won't listen to anyone. She wouldn't even listen to Fisher when he got a decent deal offered.

It shouldn't be down to the fans.
New stadium will never happen so people don't talk about it. That simple Rob S. Sorry

As far as the FL goes I suspect it's a deliberate delay while they seek legal advice. I wouldn't be surprised if lawyers have questioned the proposed payment to ACL. Might be wrong.
On the other hand, to be outwitted like they have been shows that maybe the FL still behaves like a smaller board overseeing amateur football clubs rather than what the football league is today.

You forgot the FL.
They have their grip firmly on one of the barriers stopping a return. You would think if the club is as serious as they are making out they are for a deal for the return of the club they'd be pressurising the FL to get on with it and not wait until the 7th of August, we do have a home game the following Wednesday remember. It would be nice if it was a home game as apposed to a "home" game.
If the club issued an open letter on their web site (I think they may have a template for one of them) stating that the FL should call an emergency meeting, say, for Monday and make their decision on the outstanding £590K how could the FL refuse?
If this did happen it wouldn't matter if the FL ruled ACL were entitled to £1 or £590K there is no contract between ACL and the FL or Otium. They would have nowhere to go with it.
One barrier gone.
Thats what I'd be doing if I was serious about getting the club home anyway. If i wasn't, I'd sit it out until the 7th of August.
