Never underestimate their lack of competence or level of drunkenness either. I'd be surprised if it was an intentional attack on Poland, it's very close to the border, but you can never be sure if it's Putin stirring the pot though. Not a good outcome for Russia either way imho, it'll just...

Shake it off. 😁

I think that is exactly the long and short of it - I don't think SISU have sufficient funds to put in a plausible bid. Picking it up on the very cheap from admin was probably their only chance. (I've got a pet theory that they never really recovered from the credit crunch back in 2008.) That...

Respect that point of view mate, but what I'd say is that it's entirely possible that SISU are incompetent/reckless/broke *and* that the Council have also been doing what they've done in the past, i.e. trying to do backhanded deals and influence things in secret (with similar levels of...

Because accusing someone of working for Wasps/SISU/CCC on the basis of a post you might disagree with is a bit juvenile, maybe? If you want to challenge something he's said, challenge it on the facts, rather than on some assumed motive.

I think the argument I'd make, were I representing the bondholders, is that the Trustee has not attempted to gauge the true opinion of the bondholders and therefore cannot say whether they are content to release their security or not. His inaction now is in fact a deliberate choice to...

And sometimes the creditors are upset because the people acting in their interests, in this case the Trustee and the Administrator, do not appear to be acting in their best interests. You don't generally get 100 people crowdfunding legal action unless they feel as though there's been some...

No mate, that would be like supporting Wasps. I'd never feel clean again. 😁 It's just I can see why they feel cheated and I've got an intense dislike of lying liars like CCC and Wasps getting away with it. I've only ever had a share (via the family) in CCFC, and SISU got that bugger off us...

As every Councillor has made clear *after* the outcry started... Before that it was all in secret, like the original bail out of the arena where the story was squashed by the council when Les Reid found out about it, and like the secret deal to sell to Wasps. Sooner or later mate, you're...

I've already been throwing tomato soup at a picture of Duggins, but the missus told me that I was being silly and I should just grow up and finish my dinner.

Whether he thinks Duggins is simple or not doesn't come into it. He can't just imply to Wasps that he can get £30m of match-funding without some sort of concept that it's feasible. This obviously wasn't done on a whim. There's obviously been something going on with the Council leaders, remember...

It's only 45p in the pound to the bondholders if they get everything offered, but the deal as quoted on ADVFN is that the payment is split across *all* creditors. I'm not clear on how much debt there is, but I seriously doubt the bondholders will end up with 45p in the pound if this goes through.

Looks like it's all coming to a head on 17th. High court application where purchaser (presumably Ashley), will apply for purchase of ACL without any security (i.e. bondholders mortgage on the lease) in place. Trustee seemingly saying he won't intervene as insufficient time to obtain...

Who says the match funding wasn't happening? Hottinger just made this up completely did they? They woke up thinking, let's pretend we've got £30m coming from the Council. No need to talk to anyone at the council, we'll just make it up. C'mon now, that makes no sense whatsoever. It's obvious...

The pushback is because you're coming from a completely false premise: The NHS isn't grossly inefficient, you're getting more or less what you're paying for. Guess what, if you've spent years and years demanding efficiencies, then you might have exhausted where they can come from. You can...

So... The leader of the council states categorically, in a public meeting, and to the press, that the council is not having discussions about bailing out Wasps. At the same time the most senior officer in the council is actively telling Wasps and a potential investor that they will match-fund...

A couple of assumptions here. The first is that the NHS is a black hole for funding. Maybe, but compared to most of our equivalent countries we're underfunding it and have been for a long time. The second is that we've also been looking for "efficiencies" in the NHS for a very long time too...

Hello? Did someone say something? 😁

Sorry to hear it mate. Makes you wonder what the point is...

So it's ok for the council to act completely unethically, as long as they're doing it for what they think are the right reasons, in your opinion at least. That's where you and I differ, and it's obvious that the the last time they did this - when selling in secret to Wasps and stating almost...
