    ACL and the City Council announcement

    Probably because what they are doing is protecting one of their own assets. The council invested in the project and that investment would be lost if ACL failed and was sold to a third party The Ricoh is a cornerstone of the North Coventry redevelopment project. The council has much at stake...

    ACL and the City Council announcement

    Wouldnt be the first time that CCFC has been late or reluctant to pay for the academy rent. Nor would it be the first time the academy got locked out because the rent wasnt paid. Surely even SISU must realise the academy is the future of the club and needs protecting ....... if the academy is...

    ACL and the City Council announcement

    Pretty certain no one wants to see the Ricoh without CCFC but financially this whole dispute will have eroded the importance of CCFC to ACL. They do not trust CCFC's owners and that will impact on both the future of ACL and CCFC. ACL have to insulate themselves from the risk to their...

    ACL and the City Council announcement

    Does it ? ...... or does it say that ACL is vulnerable to a football club and its owners that pay nothing at all since March 2012 Seems to me these events have had the effect of forcing ACL and its stakeholders into considering their structure and how ACL operates. Forced them to take action to...

    ACL and the City Council announcement

    chiefdave I do not believe anyone wants to see CCFC fail when it comes right down to it. There are plenty of CCFC fans at ACL, Council and Charity. Dont think ACL said they were not reliant on CCFC i believe they said that CCFC accounts for less than 20% of their income..... they dont...

    ACL and the City Council announcement

    well neither of us know that do we Grendel and neither of us know that there arent any that haven't either Might of course be important that the day to day decisions are not actually made by the council or charity but people like Jacky Issacs who is very well qualified to deal with it. Of...

    ACL and the City Council announcement

    Lets get something clear the problem for ACL is not primarily profit but cash flow ..... so can it change that with this new deal So just to illustrate some figures current rent £1.2m receivable.................... current loan payments £1.66m new deal loan say £14.5m at 5% over 40 years...

    ACL and the City Council announcement

    ACL view poiint Clever move by ACL and its stakeholders. Did anyone really believe that they would be sitting around waiting for SISU and Joy to call the tune. It takes away any threat of SISU distressing ACL by taking over the Yorkshire bank loan, creating a default and calling it in, thereby...

    Points Needed For A Top 6 Finish Over The Last 8 Years

    thats why i said at least 10 wins and lose 3 tops ........ wasnt trying to add the points up as such more indicating minimum wins and probable max losses ..... and yep i wouldnt disagree with you maths :D, there are quite a few permutations

    Points Needed For A Top 6 Finish Over The Last 8 Years

    CCFC current record won 10 drawn 7 lost 10 = 37 points. 27 games you can make statistics say what you want and tie your self up in them ...... this is just a few :) Play off place probably requires 75 points - over the last 10 seasons I think it averages out at around that. The lowest...

    Rent Pros and Cons CCFC

    not sure there is no chance but we will have to wait see. When there is a legal debt that has been proven in court and the debtor chooses not to pay (ie has the ability to but decides not to) then who really "wipes us out"........ ACL might press the button but who placed the club on the bomb in...

    Ricoh Rent

    I find it interesting that someone comes up with a rumour that the deal is done and people immediately assume that ACL have caved in to SISU's demands The only reason as far as I can see that a deal may be in the offing is if something significant has changed for ACL. SISU's position I feel...

    Pro-SISU / Anti-SISU

    better for who Godiva ? - for the club most likely ......... for ACL and its stakeholders almost certainly not given the debts and loss making history of the club, and the reasonable expectation that such things will continue. It might be desirable for the club so that it can get assets...

    Pro-SISU / Anti-SISU

    The situation needs to be sorted out soon as possible ........... might not be in the way some think though in the end ! Think what is important to say is that ACL do not actually want a future without CCFC, they do not want it to fail..... but will prepare for life without CCFC, make their...
