I tend to agree, the average fan isn't usually bothered who owns his or her club so long as the product is decent and reasonably successful - you choose your team to support not owners

Not convinced the hold up has been caused by CCFC not committing to the Ricoh, it could be but not sure its that. I have a feeling it might be sorted by the time the latest Wasps financials come out but that's no more than a guess. Presently CCFC in its current state is not a brand many sponsors...

Signed

not sure why Wasps need to offer part ownership in fact I would go so far as to say it wont ever happen They may offer a different share of football generated incomes but why would they, from a Wasps point, of view offer a share of other incomes at the Ricoh without increasing CCFC costs in a...

Never going to happen in my opinion. How can people argue that Wasps have problems paying off their bond debt then argue that they should shell out millions to purchase/run CCFC? Yes the shares are worth £1 but it is the amount of cash flow required to run the club that is the problem, in 2015...

Was never going to happen your way don. The value of shares is in the control that they give you. Do you honestly think that once SISU had got to 51% simple control that the deal would remain intact given the track record they have, which would leave the original shareholders vulnerable and...

how ?.......

to be honest I am not at all sure what they might do. Liquidation would crystallise losses for ARVO, recoup a very small amount after costs maybe, point to loss on investment caused by others etc. It would also mean ordinary creditors getting shafted. But would cost the golden share and...

talking of strikers did anyone see Maddisons performance for Aberdeen yesterday and hear the after match comments about him. Never been his greatest fan but the lad had a good game and couldn't get enough of the ball. decent goal too even if keeper misjudged it

I can understand that sbd we each ratify things in our own way and nothing wrong in that. Unfortunately this has become a war between very stubborn generals, who are not afraid to use any weapons available to them and CCFC is a weapon used by both sides suffering and causing collateral damage...

on a superficial legal level yes two different entities............ however you do not have to own a company directly in order to exert significant or full control. OEG acts under the control of SISU Capital Ltd. and as such the reality is that it is very hard to separate the investment aims of...

would think it was the talks regarding the Academy, aren't FL, Sports England etc supposed to be attending aswell as Wasps & CSF

Ever since SISU acquired the CCFC brand they (CCC) have seen it as one there has been no recent change in that I can think of plenty of ways that CCFC/ SISU as agents for investors are effectively one .................... struggling to think of much that keeps them as separate other than...

why is it the Observer article on this has a prominent picture of a Wasp sign?

you would assume that one of the other directors would attend. Which would be TF or MV. Although it wouldn't surprise me if the meeting were to be delayed because all the "turmoil" CA leaving has caused :banghead:

Worrying thing is that it looks like it will be still be the same in 5 years time too .................if we still have a team! No plan, no desire to move forward, no investment in creating, no change

No he doesn't

Seemed a decent enough chap and well meaning but totally out of his depth dealing with the other characters, both inside the club ownership structure and externally. There is a thought that his analysis of the situation and direction was at odds with the objectives of other directors and the...

is CA taking any part in the functions of the club or has he been moved sideways and is CEO in name only? If things are tight why are we putting additional layers of backroom staff on a regular basis but miss out on signing targets for the team?

First point I have consistently for years said clubs need to live within their means. To me that is spending only the cash that is available. I accept the obvious consequences of that on overhead and squad spend. That doesn't mean continually adding to debt that is (a) unsecured (b)...
