I am not sure there is / are any.
Are there any actual club ramifications involved with this news? What does any of this actually mean for those of us who don't care about legal battles or popping the champers when one set of corporate scumbags beats another?
I just can't see what they think somebody else will see different.
Can understand appealing, but there is a point.
If they were appealing and the club would be handed the Ricoh I'd say fight it all the way, but I just can't see the point in it.
I'm truly starting to believe that this is about reputation now. As far as I can tell the corner stone of SISU's business is built on their self proclaimed reputation for battering people in court. If that's gone so has their reputation and ability to business in the method they do business.
I said a while ago that they don't batter people in court, they use the courts to batter people. If I'm right in that opinion JR2 may well make more sense than JR1 if for no other reason than it involves Wasps. Someone pointed out earlier that councils have legal departments and the ability to fight someone like SISU all the way, basically SISU bit of more than they can chew with JR1. However with Wasps named on JR2 there may well be a soft (softer) target on offer. We might just be about to find out which hedge fund is the most ruthless or at least which has the deepest pocket's.
What would be interesting is to know what SISU's investors think about all this. I think I'd have had enough by now if I was one of their investors. Have SISU ever been in a legal battle that has either lasted this length of time of gone this far along the system before?
I wish they would stop all this crap and fuck off
nothing every happens
nothing happens at all
the needle returns to the start of the song
and we all sing along like before
Sort of like taking out a credit card to pay your mortgage. It's possible, but it wouldn't suggest a great business model to me as a potential investor.
Yes but if it is about reputation, it only makes it worse.
It is like me trying to defend my reputation by keep starting on Anthony Joshua. Just makes me look sillier by keep getting beaten up.
What influence would the European commission have if we Brexit?SISU RESPONSE
We are obviously disappointed by the Court of Appeal’s decision. This is the first time that this legal principle has been considered by the superior courts and, whilst we respect the views of their Lordships, this judgment conflicts with guidance given by both the UK Government and the EU Commission.
Government bodies should not use access to public funds to further political and policy objectives in a way that adversely impacts competition between local businesses. There are significant public policy reasons why this matter should be reviewed by the Supreme Court. A reference of certain aspects of the matter to the European Commission is also under consideration. In the meantime, the owners remain fully committed to the success of the Club and this judgment does not affect that resolve in any way.
SISU’S LAWYER, ALEX CARTER-SILK: “The judgement on JR1 does not affect the legal position on JR2.”
And so it goes on. Whatever they say this will hold the club back.
Don't usually resort to this but
I wish they would stop all this crap and fuck off
Maybe this is as worse as a reputation of battering people in court gets i.e. not battering people in court. What have they to lose with JR2? If anything they have something to gain i.e. losing the reputation of someone who doesn't batter people in court to regain the reputation of someone who does. The further appeal of JR1 seems absolutely pointless to me, it's beyond time to call it a day. JR2 on the other hand could gain them something. Lose however and who's going to invest in a hedge fund that you're expecting to batter people in court but can't? All supposition of course but I'm just trying to find some logic in it. I'm proper clutching at straws though I must admit.

They don't seem concerned about that though they just keep spending.
Will it reveal the council as being dickheads? Probably

Can't see your basis for that assumption, what you really mean is because they won't do as you want you're going to indulge in some name calling.
Will make no difference, Cameron will be booted out & Boris will send in Gove or Fallon renegotiate. Then they'll be another referendum. The EU is like Hotel California doncha know.

Not sure most floating supporters care. They just want to see the team on the pitch.
Brilliant post.As much as I can see the merits in SISU's case, I do wish a line could be drawn under it now. Carry on trying to get the club into a self-sufficient position, negotiate (as much as it pains me to say it) the best possible deal with Wasps/ACL and cut your losses by making the club available for takeover. Enough is enough.
I think the only thing JR2 could possibly do is reveal more about the Wasps deal.
Will it reveal the council as being dickheads? Probably
It won't be judged on morals or anything so I doubt any actual laws will be broken so judging on history I can just see them having to pay Wasps / Council's court costs.
The same influence it has at the moment for the timebeing I think, the referendum doesn't mean an instant brexit, it means that the government are being instructed to open negotiations to brexit, it'll take years imo.
They have no style, or class.And I don't think this is the end of it. SISU being SISU I'd imagine would now take this to the European Court of Appeal.
I'd love them to draw a line under this but we all know that's not their style...
Brilliant post.
Now get it done SISU.
..... or buying a 5 year bond and when it comes to an end going for another one. Investors on this one will make on the interest payments.
You do understand that at some point you have to pay all of the money back, right?
Seems likely the action won't stop. Eu appeal court appearance to be announced by sisu as next course of action.
Does it get any worse?
