3 Months and 4700 replies later, and still silence. These must be the longest talks in history... Never heard my ex on the phone then. I did, and at 1.20 per minute, she wasn't worth it! |

Wow - Did ye go tae Oxford or Cambridge pal? Oxford...why? I think Big Jock is suggesting that you do not need the privilege of studying at one of those two fine universities to know that nothing is going to happen until the result of the appeal. |

I'd picked up on that. My post was simply suggesting nothing is going to happen so surprised the speculation continues. |

If NH really believed the contract was dead and the appeal woulf fail he could have called the project dead and saved face by blaming the greens/trash/carstairs/shamesbury's with some justification and not "invested" more money and energy in continuing the fight.
He didn't, why?
Either the advice was so strong as to suggest chances of success on appeal were high from the legal advisors or there is some other motive. Whatever anyone says I for one do not think he would risk the future of the club on fight he knew he could not win.
Maybe, just maybe, one of the interested parties have suggested that it is worth the punt to spend a few hundred grand on the appeal that might bring £30m plus or possibly an offer of some out of court settlement. A price may be on offer that varies depending on the result of the appeal.
I'm not ITK but there must surely be some strategy and reasoning here from our majority owner as otherwise the evidence shows we could be in serious financial difficulty if the court rules against us.

I'd love to think you are right. Strategy and reasoning historically hasn't been so great though. |

I am probably more optimistic than many on here, but you do realise you are talking about the man who went to court believing we had a watertight contract. |

In my defence of Higgs, I think he was badly advised in the beginning of all this and those that advised him then are still being listened to now. He is in too deep as they say. |

Well it would be brainless to go to court knowing you were going to lose. You have to think that his legal advice suggested a strong case. That proved wrong, but I sure hope the current advice is stronger otherwise I sure hope there is good reason for it. |

In for a penny though. |

I worry that the people who have given him that belief are a legal team who stand to make money out of the appeal whichever way it goes. |

In for a penny though. No need to guess, its 0%. That's why this case could potentially set a precedent. No one has successfully challenged a supermarket yet. So far the supermarkets have completely gotten away with this sh**. If we won it could open a floodgate. That's why I still feel an 11th hour out of court deal is the most likely outcome. |

Problem is NH has to beat a mega supermarket whilst also apparently re-writing UK contract law, also any hope of an 11th hour out of court deal evaporated for me when the news of the latest charge on the Mem broke, as that suggests to me Sainsbury's are now going for the jugular vain.

So the plot thickens ... just days after Sainsbury's register a charge on the ground! beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/04501223/filing-historyHow long will it take before one of the sags reads it on here and their forums go into meltdown ..... again?!
