This is bull shit anyway. It ain't as simple as ASL/council or Sisu. Those who sold Highfield Road in '95 are as much to blame, as are those who sold all our income streams at the Ricoh for 6 million quid.

How can anyone blame ACL? They are a business just like any other. If idiots accept their terms ie rent then they must live by that decision. The fact that they did not do so their own fault! To then move the club 35 miles away and say that they had no other choice is churlish at best.

How can you say Sisu are 98% at fault for all our problems? They came in when the club was on its absolute arse. The players were not being paid, they'd had their wages deferred for 2 months; debts had got to the point the club couldn't finanace them anymore and we were about in get a 10 point penalty for going into administration.
Sisu are guilty of being as clueless of all those who went before them and for that they have to take a part of the blame for where we are now, to say they are solely repsonsible though lets off so many many people in the history of this club who have contributed to being where we are now.

Can I ask why you're picking on me after all I said Sisu were only 98% at fault others if you check the voting have said they are 100% to blame

I said they're 100% to blame for us playing 35 miles away from our home city....might be a strategy of theirs to get the Ricoh but that is their call and no one elses. Also said they're responsible for us playing at the lowest level for half a century...not filing accounts resulting in transfer embargos resulting in us having to play young players clearly not ready being managed by clueless chief scouts resulted in us getting relegated. ACL/CCC/BR/MM/Uncletomcobley had no influence on that....that was all about SISU.

I voted sisu 100% as that is the closest to what I feel from your choices, however something like Sisu 70, Football league 15, Paul Appleton 10, Coventry Telegraph/CWR 4, ACL/CCC 1. would be my vote.
Sisu are the architects of the villany but the FL, PA and the CT have all allowed it to happen or have assisted in one way or another. The rent was too high to start with and I dislike the council but I don't feel any of this has had anything to do with the rent and I don't see that the council or acl could have prevented it in anyway other than capitulation and I wouldn't want that either.

I am glad for you that we are in a much better place than when they took us over.

I voted 100/0 but really I think nearer 90% SISU/10% ACL/CCC. As far as us being in Northampton and in L1, 100% SISU.

SISU own us and in charge for 6 years so 100 per cent.
Factor in shit rental deal before their time and ACL not wanting to relinquish it minus 10 per cent. SISU shit negotiation skills plus 10 percent.....and so it goes on and on.
But SISU are our owners so the buck stops with them.
No transparency, no clear business plan, no future vision, PR contradictory and unprofessional, eroded their own reputation to the point where trust has broken down between other parties and also with fans.
I can only put it down to their stubbornness and arrogance!

The last lot may have been financial basket cases, and a few other things as well but they didn't move us 35 miles away from our city, our home, to Northampton.

So you obviously forgot your first post when you said 50-50, cannot be taken seriously if you keep tripping over your own tongue.
Before I would have said 80% Sisu and 20% ACL/CCC. After the recent events about new offers I will change it to 95% Sisu and 5% ACL/CCC. At least it seems like ACL/CCC are trying to make the effort of helping us back to Cov, it is just the unbelievable arrogance, stupidity, stubborness and complete and utter disregard for us the fans that that fucks me off.

What happens if you think multiple people are to blame?

I think he meant one post each?

Agree with this. Unfortunately I'd also add our lack of paying fans.
If we are also doing a 'who is most to blame' award, that has to go to Sisu. No doubt they are in a tricky situation but they have handled our club like a failing factory/shop. A football club isn't like Woolworths where you can pile in and do whatever is necessary, a football club has supporters who will be deeply affected. A football club is part of the community. And regardless of what they say, I don't believe they have grasped this or give a shit.

Why is it when I read the posts of SISU sympathisers I hear "Duelling Banjos" from the film Deliverance playing in my head?
