apparently they were never that interested in freehold......
Anyway what I mean is they don't want to be part of a sub-let. Nothing really against higgs I think it is more at the contracts within Acl etc.

Yh basically nobody is talking because of the JR but ML can't see why when negotiations could be done separate to that. Can see both sides of that 1. Frustrating for us fans though.
Yet they just tried to delay the JR?

No chance. Why did they turn down the last offer then?

I have asked both sides about that and get contradictory answers. It becomes a pointless exercise in the end.

What a travesty
Because they didn't realise the fans would stay away as they have ,certainly been doing an awful lot of engagement lately .

Indeed they have. It's whether you take everything they say as 100% fact.

Not a criticism but shows have laughable the situation has got, the biggest fans forum is on tenterhooks because the Club's CEO has agreed to have a private phone call with a fan.

Something to make you smile while you're waiting.
Many years ago, not long after the formation of the Trust. Mike McGinnity agreed to meet us, this was at Highfield road. We were all booted and suited for the meeting as we didn't know what to expect. About 5 or 6 of us turned up and were waiting in the reception area, bang on time Mr McGinnity comes and meets us and takes us to his office. He sits behind his desk, and looks us up and down with a stern look on his face and says "don't ever turn up wearing suits again, I thought you were the fucking bailiffs"

It would hurt their pride too much .and they that is more important to them than the club and the fans .that to me makes them useless owners.

Nice one Wal.
I would simply ask this:
As fans, we've had to put up with a hell of a lot of agro these past few years (the battle between you and ACL/CCC; the move to Northampton; the relegation; the hope of survival with a limited squad and budget). But one thing that really frightens me is your previous threat of liquidation. Can you reassure us that, should the legal battles not go SISUs way, and there is no realistic way of you ever recuperating your losses - you will at least think of the fans and try and sell the club so someone else can have a go, rather than (in effect) being spiteful and finishing CCFC off totally.

It's GApps for business. To be fair gmail is just the backend, you shouldn't have to use the interface. Switch to Outlook or whatever floats your boat, I haven't used the GMail interface for ages.
What was this thread about again?
Oh yeah, the ACL short term run off thing. I thought Sisu turned it down more recently because "I don't like those mean boys" (paraphrasing).
Edit: all that @ Torchy.

Tony's European Commission idea is total horseshit.

I'm not on tenterhooks, I expect no answers and lots of waffle, with a bit of blame others chucked in for good measure.
I think him and Labovtich should do a Reddit style Ask Me Anything. Sort it out Nick!

Wouldn't you do best asking someone who does have a clue on what is going on?

Tony is referring to the fact that the European Commission were asked to look into Swansea city and believed sisu should persue this in place of the JR.
I would urge Tony to look at this and see when the commission were advised of the issue and what progress has been made. From what I can see nothing so it would actually prolong the agony.
Also they can do both and may be doing both.

Oh yes I forgot that SISU have got far with the constant litigation threats and court dates.

So if Seppalla rang up tomorrow and said she wanted to move the club back they'd reject it?

Why is it? Explain your reasoning, assuming you have some. The mechanism is there for that purpose so why skip it and go straight to JR?

I have on another thread. Even Schmee excepted my logic.
Actually its this thread. Can't you find it!

Perhaps there is no case to argue, in which case good luck to Swansea.
Perhaps the investigation is ongoing. I've not seen that they have dropped it.

So when did the investigation start? Date please.

Tell us please oh wise one. Will it take as long as sisu wanted the JR to take as they tried to get it put back so they could present 1000's of pages of new "evidence".
Assuming it does take as long as you are intimating and sisu have moved the club away to distress ACL and it's partners perhaps they should have taken this option after all they failed to get the JR postponed meaning they failed to prolong the distressing.

December 2013 I believe. Unless you know better. What's that, half a football season? How long has the JR been going on now? Not forgetting the possibility of appeals.

I'd hazard a guess that if you engage an expensive legal team they would at least be aware of the appropriate area of jurisdiction. It would be a bit weird if they turned up at the JR and the judge says 'actually, you should have gone to the European courts, not here. Bye'.
Idiot.

I bloody hope that doesn't happen, after all this build up I just want a resolution. Imagine us all sat here ready to go and judge just goes 'you do realise you've come to the wrong place'.

Did you not here what happened in court this week. Idiot.
Your confusing the European Court with the European commission. Idiot.
It's the European commissions place to police things like state aid, only an idiot would spend thousands and thousands on a private prosecution when there's a body there to do it at no cost to yourself. Idiot.

Then why are they not going through the European commission you mong? Fuck's sake, get a grip.
