    Fisher and the myth of matchday revenues

    It is interesting to read the various comments flying around. CCFC are adopting an aggressive PR policy which kept it ahead in that sense to begin with over recent months and the start of this week. ACL were painted as the villains and amateurs in this matter, the source of CCFC woes. I think...

    Fisher and the myth of matchday revenues

    think the situation is that they didnt used to get that income Tank Top. Situation has changed I think so that the club buy in usage and then sell it on at a profit. Could be wrong I also think the way income streams were allocated has changed from the original set up, again I stand to be...

    ACL have the upperhand....

    Any purchaser would have to prove funds for further development ....... but I would guess there is a price where that could happen and that would effectively block SISU's ambitions. Still be left with a dodgy tenant though Senior Vick. Quite correct Sky Blues the ARVO charge covers all the...

    ACL - lets have some facts

    No problem SBT It is all public facts as ashbyjan says, there is no inside source. It comes from Companies House for copies of accounts, the City Council website for minutes of how it was all set up, comments from the participants in the drama in the press, other online stuff plus my own...

    Im sick of all this

    Think i have the odd moment of frustration or annoyance, sometimes a few minutes of hope largely inspired by what MR says and does but overall i feel less and less connected with the club i grew up with. It feels like the heart has been ripped out of it and my passion for it is ebbing away...

    ACL - lets have some facts

    why does everyone stop at the only use of the ground is by CCFC ? Why does everyone think that ACL are sitting still waiting for this ? Why does everyone think that ACL are not trying to do something aboout their cashflow need so it doesnt rely on CCFC? Why does everyone think that the...

    ACL - lets have some facts

    no agenda ....... i just like to get the facts out there and offer my own explanation and opinion. I have business qualifications that help me see things a little clearer than many so i try to explain what i can so as many as possible understand whats going on. So much coming out of CCFC is...

    ACL - lets have some facts

    Not saying a fair price but the charity for reasons of charity commission cant accept less. Plus all depends on the future projections etc. Balance sheet doesnt seek to value reputation for example ...... value is certainly more than TF alluded to ...........as worthless

    ACL - lets have some facts

    nice reminder wingy thanks :) ............. just checked - no increase in share capital on SBS&L so i dont see how SISU put money in as equity ........ i am sure TF has an explanation tho :thinking about:

    ACL - lets have some facts

    value kind of depends on what the future holds Godiva..... it isnt the balance sheet total. The charity cant accept less than they paid for it and the reputation of the Ricoh has grown (even internationally) so I would not put the value below £6m for starters .... after that its anyones guess...

    ACL - lets have some facts

    you know what really :mad:bugs me is that the radio stations and local rags have access to the same information as me but still accept everything that TF says as gospel truth. This morning he stated that ACL owed Yorkshire Bank £20m .......... last accounts show substantially less than that...

    ACL - lets have some facts

    aside from the equipment the only items of worth are - Land at Ryton........ that could be sold as housing would be of greater value - but current use £1m ? - The league registration ...... cancelled if liquidated but if sold before may have worth - the trademarks and badges ...... £10k ? -...

    Fisher on CWR this morning

    we are all assuming that it is a crisis appointment by the bank ........... what if it was an appointment made by the bank after ACL made proposals to change things to safeguard its position ? The bank would send Deloittes in to prove the figures and projections but it wouldnt be an appointment...

    Fisher on CWR this morning

    Sounds about right to me Jimthor - point 3 could read sell or put into or be put into administration

    ACL - lets have some facts

    Because a) we havent paid for anything since april, b) why should acl incur more costs than necessary when they are not getting paid, c) you adapt to the number of customers its good business sense

    ACL - lets have some facts

    no point calling in receivers ....... straight to liquidation in my view. ARVO have secured all assets so nothing for anyone else to get .... therefore no point paying 10's of 1000's to administrators etc. Basically ARVO get everything at whatever they they can sell it on for

    ACL - lets have some facts

    Thought it might be an idea to have some facts about ACL instead of self interested spin ala Mr Fisher -Owners of the long lease to operate the Ricoh Arena (approx 42 years left on lease) -Owned by Coventry City Council and the Higgs Charity (50:50) with interlocking shareholders agreements...

    Fisher on CWR this morning

    I heard it also. Would be good if he actually got his facts straight. Essentially what he was doing was trying to make the bank jittery so they put pressure on ACL. Mr Fisher has one agenda here and that is to put ACL into crisis (whether they are or not) so that SISU pick up the stadium on...

    Couple of things ..... income streams ........... ccfc already get all the ticket money, buy in and sell on for profit the corporate and posh seat "experience" including food, already get the mark up from car parking etc so what are these huge other income streams that are going to make the...
