It will happen, even if I have to make it happen on here with automatic word changes!
Like bantanamo bay!
So tying balloons to the car was relevant?
No it wasn't, but the SISU QC was obviously getting desperate!

That's where they send members of The Talibant isn't it?
If thats all Sisu have got im sure the council are bricking it for the JR !!!!
couldn't agree more...when will this saga ever end???
in a way i would like to tune out and re-surface when it has all blown over and we're back at the Ricoh (which will surely happen at some point once everyone has done their utmost to save face, which is clearly what this is about now).
however it is also morbidly fascinated, like watching a car crash in slow motion.

Well I've worked in a legal environment with lots of contract experience and, trying to be independent here, SISU's case looks pretty weak. Can't say for sure but on the basis of today I'd guess the judge is going to award the £29k to Higgs.
Shame this has come first because one side effect could be that SISU raise their game for the big cup final against CCC in June. We simply cannot afford them to win that if we are going to get a CCFC back at the Ricoh under non-SISU ownership.
Fuck me, 114 pages.
Might catch up by the time of the JR
Don't worry, Tonylinc will be along soon to explain the legal ins and outs.
He's a lawyer apparently.
I'd be extremely surprised if Higgs don't win this case, think Sisu would be even more surprised.
The only doubt would be if the agreement by Sisu to pay the Higgs costs was tied up in the HOT agreeement, which as we all know wasn't signed.
Banter claus pulls one out of his gag sack
I'm trying to think what SISU have got so far that helps them in the JR. A council officer may or may not have misled someone from Higgs, but what difference does that make to SISU's case? We know that SISU threatened to pull out of CCFC in April 2012, and stopped paying the rent at the same time.
That clearly threatened ACL (and CCFC incidentally), and the council as a shareholder to ACL were surely entitled to act to protect their investment.
The one thing that does seem clear now, is that there's no question that AEHC and CCC acted in concert to push out SISU.
You wonder why SISU have brought the counter-suit really, unless you believe ACL's claim that Joy told them SISU would harrass ACL with litigation at every opportunity until they got the Ricoh for £4m with no negotation. That was said before the JR application was made so even if she didn't say that, the facts are bearing this out as SISU strategy.
Does that last line indicate certainty ,and push out SISU from what exactly.
Counter-suit merely a diversionary/warning tactic I'd have thought.
Don't think it was brought to get more information for Sisu either, as it seems from their questioning that they would have already known about anything "revealed" today.
Not sure you an be certain based on what we've seen today, but he is talking about whether those two organisation worked together to force SISU out of ownership of CCFC.
In fairness to SISU (cough cough), I do remember around the time ACL made their application for admin that someone from ACL said "we want to get a new tenant into the stadium" and that was clearly described as a new owner of CCFC. It was in the CT at the time, maybe even have been PWKH
The thing with this for me is: Joy has said previously she will liquidate. Fisher has said we will liquidate. ACL/CCC/Higgs stand to lose millions so apply for admin to prevent this. Everyone believes the club will have a new owner until Fisher pulls the GS bullshit and we're back to square Northampton.
Regardless of the legality of the Golden Share transfer, it wasn't public knowledge beforehand AFAIK, so it's a fair assumption that ACL/CCC/Higgs thought that Sisu would leave the club (as threatened) if not given the Ricoh.
That's hardly pushing someone out or looking for a new tenant, it's taking someone at their word.

The longer this goes on, the less sure I am there is a great master plan on either side and it's all just a great big clusterfuck with two groups with different aims at the heart of it.
