Several valuations done - one of which came to light in recent court case. Doesn't think the council wants them made public. I thought it had been made clear that the "public" valuation was of ACL not the RICOH. He also said that other recent financial transactions were trying to be kept hidden.

said council don't want to sell the ricoh because it will probably bring to light financial irregularities.
Forgive me but I thought that was your line. "Don't sell the Ricoh on the cheap, etc. Let's not let SISU rip off the poor council, etc"
Yep, all part of the plan to exhaust finance in any way possible.The difference is that for a council exec to do so he has to use tax payers money. Is that the way taxpayers would want there money spent?
Sisu know this so say what they please.
When ACL weren't being paid their rent, this forum was hysterical with people taking the morale high ground. Telling us it was the law, simple as that.
Now it's I don't give a shit if allegations are true, as long as it doesn't effect the club
Suggesting paid council officials on ACL board are misleading council. Said certain financial transactions are trying to be hidden from us. These officials are blocking the sale.
That valuation is only public tisza because it formed part of papers given to SISU relating to the discussions in December 2012 and they then included it in the JR papers which is what made them public I believe. The valuation was of the distressed leasehold value of ACL done for Yorkshire Bank and therefore not in CCC power to release they dont have title to it. But ML must know that surely?. I assume the other transactions is a reference to the 14m loan by the council
Slanderous if not true....
Clearly SISU have launched a media offensive.. Labo is doing the rounds, shall record Midlands Today & Central News so I can see what is said.. I fully expect he'll be interviewed on those programs too.
So if this isn't true then he should expect a letter in the post?
Thought TF said in the SCG minutes that ML received a small salary
ML claims to be non executive (ie makes none of the decisions) but is simply listed as a director at Company House and therefore legally shares joint and several liability with the other directors...... plus is idependent (yet is paid by Otium)
At least thats my understanding happy to be corrected
No libellous if not true as it was 'published' by Sky. Sorry for being pedantic.
So if this isn't true then he should expect a letter in the post?
no it's slander surely, it was him speaking on sky, libel is written isn't it? slander spoken
Frankly,if it brings it all to a conclusion one way or another, maybe it's a good thing.
Shame court actions cost cash, but wouldn't we all welcome, philosophically, a load of court actions?
Council trying to keep something quiet- the recent JR exposed one of these- two most senior salaried council officers are ACL board members thus have a conflict of interest. Officers of the council prevent a sale going through. Invited the council to open talks on the radio or TV.
I wonder if they've made this possibly libelous/slanderous (whichever it is) comment deliberately in order to goad CCC into sueing them.
I guess in order to prove the comment is wrong, CCC would then have to release more financial info than they would otherwise want SISU to have?
Or give them to the Judge on the JR review???Surely if SISU had evidence of detrimental transactions they would have made it public by now.

Sorry folks.. you going to have to turn the sound right up.... didnt realise the Iphone was so poor at voice recording.... you can just about make it out or use headphones?
Agreed about the body language, he looks more comfortable when the topic switches to the Ricoh.
Then again he's probably from the same school of sliminess as Fisher.

LOL, your dog barking near the end of the recording made me jump..
It is not something public bodies tend to do, and even if they believe it to be be viable they tend not to because of the House of Lords' decision in Derbyshire County Council v Times Newspapers [1993] AC 534 in which it was held that a local authority had no right at common law to sue for libel to protect its governing or administrative reputation, because allowing it such a right would stifle pubic opinion and be contrary to the public interest.
This could be challenged by the 'Localism Act 2011'. Which allows a public body to do that which an individual can do in law. I do however recall a debate on the Defamation Bill where Lord McNally reassured Parliament that the courts would follow the Derbyshire principle. The reason was because it would be "contrary to the public interest for organs of government to be able to sue in defamation, and that it would be an undesirable fetter on freedom of speech". The reason given was to ensure that local authorities would discharge their functions in compliance with the statutory duty of best value.
The Council will not sue. Individuals could sue, but could they afford to take on SISU without public funds? I think not.
