I have never called Tim Fisher a liar, so I don’t really get your response. I made a straightforward reference to a newspaper article which has a genuine bearing on this debate. Fisher clearly said they wouldn't have done the Wasps deal, and I can see no reason whatsoever for doubting it – can you?

Yes it's a response anyone would make to something that was never on offer.

I see what you're getting at. A bit like saying SISU deliberately lost the JR when clearly they never had a chance of winning it.

Come on guys we are on the same side

We need to be asking relevant questions of our owners

Why no signings?
Where is waggott?
Where is fisher?
Where is the new stadium?
Why £1m legal fees and an emergency loan for a keeper?
Why us?

Who gives a shit about mutons comments?

But what sort of idiot would make a claim like that? :facepalm: :sarcasm:

That's precisely my point. Nice to see your infatuation with me remains Tony - I note you have used astutes pet name in several posts. The constant PM's declaring your feelings are becoming a bit embarrassing though.

I know your in awe Tony but just let it go.

No. You're just saying that to make the facts fit - when they obviously don't.

If anyone made silly claims like you sometimes do you would be all over them. But poke fun at anyone who does the same.

You're only fooling yourself with that one. Much the same as your "SISU deliberately lost the JR" line.

I’m not being confrontational here G, but are you saying that Tim was just saving face, and that SISU would actually have paid £5.4 million for ACL and agreed to keep the £14 million loan in place as Wasps have done? They’ve always regarded ACL as a worthless basket case (chucking in a rent strike and the Northampton move to hammer home the point), and have made their offers accordingly.

If I thought that CCFC had been tantalisingly close to buying the Ricoh, and that the Council and/or Higgs had snatched the opportunity away from under our noses, I’d be as angry with them as others on here.

But as far as I can see, in the whole of their tenure SISU have never even got CLOSE to making a viable bid for the stadium business. Even the attempt in 2012 was based on an assumption that they could buy out the loan from the bank for no more than £5 million. The judge said “it is inconceivable that the Bank would have accepted an offer to purchase the debt for £5m” … “SISU had entirely unrealistic expectations” and “this element of SISU’s plan, too, was doomed to fail”.

Norman, finally I have found someone on here talking logical sense. Let the haters hate.

Sisu never bid or wanted serious expectations with ACL and unless ACL was offered was 10p then sisu wernt interested but still the haters still want to scrutinize every fart made in the council board room.
