What a bunch of drama queens. Wishing someone a slow and painful death, cancer of our club. FFS they always said they were going to appeal. Its not really news is it? What is news though is Mr Gilbert's tweet about it being no barrier to negotiations. That's got to be positive surely.
That's my hope. It would explain the last minute nature of it too....It appears that SISU are very much a one trick pony in their approach to negotiation.
"Play hardball", "batter the other side" etc etc. that's fine if you win, but that seems to be less and less likely as the days go by.
Will there come a point at which they see the need to build some metaphorical bridges?
As Einstein said, the definition of insanity is to carry on doing the same thing and expect a different result.
I hope that in parallel to this disappointing news, they are talking to ACL and stressing that they will be keen to drop the appeal if a settlement can be agreed - and I hope that, if so, they are being realistic about what might be achievable.
sisu arse kisser
Oh sorry, you'd obviously prefer it to be a barrier to negotiations.sisu arse kisser

sisu's actions are contemptible and destructive, sit round a table and act like adults fisher?
If Simon is correct and this appeal won't stop negotiations then common sense has prevailed from at least ACL's side I think. Just have to hope it is contagious if they meet to discuss!

I suppose the real tragedy now I think about is that even if we come back to the Ricoh there will be no fairy tale. As football fans we are impaired by ingrained values, and we can not really comprehend the cynicism of our owners view. Even now we debate football topics when really they are secondary. There will be no influx of players, no investment in the team or infrastructure as these will never be key to our owners goals. I understand why people cling on to the club, to us fans football is about more than legal negotiations and disputes, however there is no point or value that I can see in continuing to follow an entity that attaches no value to your support or loyalty.
yup, if only people could see more clearly what is going on.. Why do the minority just accept the abuse of their loyalty..
It's only the same fate as she's inflicted on our club Markshould we be surprised? No...but are we? Yes. It's beyond belief. They must have money to burn. The amount they've pissed up the wall could've got us back to the championship at the very least or probably gone some way in purchasing half the ground.
Yes Simon's tweet is intriguing but I can't comprehend how it isn't a barrier. ACL clearly stipulated 2 provisos before any talks could be entertained. Why would they need to back down on the second one? They're firmly in the driving seat in this tedious saga, and have recouped a hefty sum to the tune of almost £500k. If Scrotium can't batter people in the High Court, they certainly won't in the Supreme Court.
Perhaps negotiations have taken place behind closed doors already?
total boycott needed........on everything

I really hope that Simon is right. The money has been paid, the appeal can surely be discussed
during negotiations.
Good news at least! SISU would need to pull a miracle out of their arse for an appeal surely?
I agree although it would have been nice if they hadn't and had sat down with ACL on Monday morning.What a bunch of drama queens. Wishing someone a slow and painful death, cancer of our club. FFS they always said they were going to appeal. Its not really news is it?
is news though is Mr Gilbert's tweet about it being no barrier to negotiations. That's got to be positive surely.
Well they're not really at the mercy of ACL are they, as the plan is to build a new stadium !As has been clear all along it is the only bargaining tool they've got. Otherwise, to be frank, they're at the mercy of the not so generous ACL.

Possibly although who is paying
for those lawyers who are handling the appeal? Is this more debt being added to the mountain we already have? The appeal drags the process of getting us back to Coventry on even longer.
Where is Mr Labovitch to make a statement about this on the radio this evening?
I'm not sure it will. All they have done is asked for permission to appeal, not a lot of legal work there. If negotiations are ongoing a deal could be done long before any further court appearance.

Who paid for the Judicial review and all the leg work to get there in the first place? That includes
the attempt to have the novel, sorry essay by Joy introduced into evidence just before the JR and the initial hearing where it was thrown out, and the one where they were told the JR could go ahead. No such thing as a cheap barrister someone once told me.
I can't believe the naivety around this .
The timeline tells all.
Paying a mere £120k more to ACL on May 31st and talks before It got to Hickinbottom or his appeal refusal ,would have provided the window of opportunity Prior to kick off.. + £2.5-£3M.
They really want to come back ,no they want It to run and run.
Totally disingenuous ,how anyone can buy It and give that moron Fisher Oxygen is beyond me.

So what do you suppose is their plan Wingy? They've lost and they know it! Run where? And to what end?

Beggers my belief too. The woman who had a go at the whoever handed out the fix it signs on Wednesday springs to mind
I worry that they (or rather she) don't know it. There's this appeal and can't they go to the European Court as well?
As for how they get out if they do realise they've lost, I suppose you sell up for whatever you can get.
Sure that wasn't Sandra Garlick? She's a believer ;-)
Yes that's true of course. I meant any further work/costs.
