    No News from Court of Appeal

    not really because at the time of the decision neither of the parties interested had come up with a deal that was of interest to the Council or indeed the charity for that matter. The stakeholders had to make decisions on what actually was at the time not something that may or may not happen in...

    I think you will find that there is no problem with dealing with other interested parties unless there is an exclusivity agreement. There was no such agreement with CCC that has been disclosed, the only one that seems to have existed was between SISU and AEHC which ended in July 2012. The...

    Everton FC finances

    Not directly comparing stupot as such. There is a world of difference in the size of the numbers but the principles are still the same. If anything it was a more general post than that, aimed more at all clubs To be fair to our current owners I think some of the decisions they have made are the...

    Everton FC finances

    I have never argued that owners shouldn't get a return on their money, our circumstances are different but the principles are not. If investors are really looking for a return on investment I would suggest a football club is not a great option So we need all the stadium revenues (the stadium...

    So what have the SISU lawyers been doing? Surely they would have asked for details of the JVA that changed before the CCC loan was made as part of the pre trial discovery because that formed part of the loan decision process? They are fishing I think as you say............

    so am I fp. Surely such an agreement was fundamental to doing any due diligence. So what were they doing for 3 months in 2012 when they were supposedly doing due diligence. There has never been any comment made that during the exclusivity period that information was being with held as far as I...

    I would think that is certainly one of the reasons. But the point above is also relevant the Judges will only consider relevant evidence if it were available at the time the decision to make the loan was made. Evidence that dates after that decision really is not going to affect things. You...

    Everton FC finances

    These summaries of Everton's financial position make interesting reading. I know there is the premiership level of incomes, the sky tv deal etc but this seems to be how a good club is run on and off the field............. team performing well, incomes up, wages under control (53% of turnover)...

    As I understand it there are presently almost 300 cases listed yet to be heard by the Court of Appeal and the ARVO/SBS&L JR one is not on that list yet. The application I believe has been made but that application has not been listed to be considered by the Court. I wouldn't expect the...

    Sepalla interview

    That would put plans being put together in October 2012 wouldn't it. Which is 2 months after any exclusivity period ended and 2 months after the Charity made it clear they were prepared to listen offers from other parties. At that time Oct 2012 it may have been the interest in ACL by wasps was...

    Sepalla interview

    You know what really irritates me about the whole saga and our club in particular is That there is always a reason why not never a reason why. Always someone else's fault, never an honest taking of responsibility. Always a fight or reason for time in court, never a partnership and compromise...

    Sepalla interview

    That is certainly one way to look at it duffer and you may well be right or we may never know There are deals that are possible, including deals where both sides make more. Would Wasps do that, well they haven't said they wouldn't but it will require a partnership not an adversarial or...

    Sepalla interview

    Not sure why Wasps or anyone else would offer CCFC a good deal on rent or matchday incomes if the intention is that in 4 or 5 years CCFC will no longer be at the Ricoh. Seppala Fisher, Waggott all repeat the mantra that they must own their own stadium and are pressing ahead with building it...

    Sepalla interview

    Not going to get in to who is biased to who, or who is in whose pocket. We all have our own opinions on that I am sure. Seppala seems to make these statements when forced to but at least she has said something. Secondly what has to kept in mind at all times is that the lawyers will have been...

    Sky Blues owners to bid for Higgs' shares in ACL

    Still doesn't get them rights to the directors minutes. This is not a bidding situation CCFC Ltd has one shot at it. Is it unreasonable for the directors to say we had a better offer elsewhere and leave it at that? In any case s771 will only come in to play should AEHC accept a bid from CCFC...

    Sky Blues owners to bid for Higgs' shares in ACL

    I would guess (and it is only a guess) that they will want to ensure that any purchaser is in some way committed to continuing to develop the site, to providing opportunities for youngsters, to playing a part in the regeneration, that the buyer can play a greater part in those aims than the...

    Sky Blues owners to bid for Higgs' shares in ACL

    The directors have to minute the meeting of the ACL board that discusses any bid and record the decision they arrive at. This is a private limited company and any decision does not have to be made public (there is no longer a public body involved either). I suspect that legally all they have to...

    Sky Blues owners to bid for Higgs' shares in ACL

    yep they are still in place in so far as the right to bid for CCFC Ltd goes ............. and to my mind what is going on is the dotting of i's and crossing of t's on those agreements along a pathway to achieving a particular outcome that minimises the risk of future litigation. Sadly I fear...
