Surely this will have an impact on whether ACL now accept the CVA?

When will Otium actually publish some accounts? This supposed 32 million debt write-off does it mean that the football club (in what ever form it is ) actually has a lower debt-level or has it been parked out into other parts of the overall company structure? Are we to assume that as Otium has...

We do get revenue from hospitality etc. The disputed income sources are matchday food and drink which on crowds of 10k don't amount to a fat lot anyway.

in terms of management fees and where they end up it remains pretty unclear as there don't seem to be any accounts for some of the other companies in the "group". Hiding behind certain accountancy rules seems to mean there doesn't have to be full disclosure of how funds are moved betweeen the...

Are we still expecting the administrator to release a report by Thursday?

I still don't quite get this. If they want to play somewhere else don't they have to have a definite plan of returning to Coventry within 3 years? If so, do they have to have a definite plan of where they intend to build a stadium etc. before the league fixtures are due to come out in a few...

This so-called distressed debt. Has there ever been any claim that the ACL weren't making their loan payments to the Yorkshire Bank?

Surely the ACL had loan repayments to make that SISU's witholding of the rent made difficult. The council as a stakeholder had to take actions to protect its investment. It was Fisher who first brought up in the media about the ACL's being close to having to go into administration and in doing...

Surprised the Mail didn't do an animal cruelty piece about leaving the dog in the car whilst the match was on :D. Are we realy supposed to believe Fisher took his dog to an away game or is it because he's a bit of a Billy No Mates at the moment and can't find anyone else to go with?

This is something people forget when they quote Ipswich and Forest rental deals. They have had to reinvest large sums in upgrading their facilities.

The Swansea case has two significant differences from ours. 1. They were successfully able to develop an industrial park alongside the stadium. 2. There are two tenants - the football club and the rugby club.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21574331 can get really crazy!

GR is quoted as saying SISU have witten off 40 million of their own money. How does that coincide with the 60 million debt that was reported to the court?

Perhaps once the administrator gets into things certain non-disclosure clauses from the original sale of the club might be made public ?

Wasn't it only a couple of months ago Robinson was saying it was time for SISU to get out of town?

i'm not sure it's worth comparing us to Forest or Ipswich as the football clubs have financed all the ground improvements over the years - basically both stadiums have been completely rebuilt since the rent agreements began.

The first time the rent issue was raised was in the last set of accounts as part of the going concerns. If it was such a key issue why wasn't it dealt with in the 1st 4 years of SISU management when we were losing 5-6 million a year? As OSB has said previously it isn't the key issue and SISU...

I can't see a new stadium as the answer. Would require large borrowings that would need repaying - probably wiping out any increased revenue that stadium ownership might bring. What size stadium do you build? A modest one that accomodates the fanbase or something like the arena that offers other...

Doesn't this apply to nearly all the clubs in the top couple of divisions?
