But what have they told us? Just that the second deal wasn’t acceptable but not why they failed to sign the first. Thing is we get this over and over and the only constant is Sisu. First it’s ACL, then CCC, then AHC, then Wasps, then Storey, then Ashley. At some point the old “if everyone is a dickhead, you’re the dickhead” adage comes into play.
It's a fair point, but then CCC, ACL, and Wasps were all basically different cheeks of the same arse. At one time or another they've all screwed the club and shown themselves less than trustworthy or financially competent.
Post-admin, SISU have managed commercial relationships with all of our other suppliers and landlords without issue.
If SISU rejected a deal out of hand on the same terms and critically, length, as the lease that we all thought existed, then I'd agree that they're mugs and they've massively overplayed their hand. But is that actually the case?
This looks a bit more like Fat Mike throwing his ample weight around to distress the club, rather than SISU just being stupid. Both things are possible of course, either way I don't think we know the truth of it yet...
