Hi OSB, not trying to shoot you down here, but don't asset transfers between group companies still need to be at market value, unless they are classed as distributions in which case the company transferring the asset must be profitable...

As I recall Ainsworth tried that when this all started, but didn't get anywhere with SISU. Doesn't look like the MEP has made much progress either. I think her politics have rather got in the way here. As far as I'm concerned this at least keeps a bit of pressure on the FL, even if everyone...

Not quite sure how that works. If I run company A (Ltd), and I've got something of value I want to give to company B (Holdings), then company B has to pay me for it or it's surely an undervalue transfer. I'm not an accountant either, but I ran my own business for a while and that's how I...

It's an interesting point. Let's say we disregard the players - what about all of the trade that was done from CCFC Ltd. Where did all that go - the ticket revenue, the sponsorship, the TV money etc? The golden share itself, which is the right to play in the league, that's an asset of immense...

Hi OSB, not sure how much it will really cost to challenge the Administrator's decision, but in truth having come this far it would seem odd (to me) not to exhaust all of the legal avenues open. If you're not going to do that then voting down the CVA does seem rather pointless. If it can be...

Wind you neck in yourself mate - if it's tongue in cheek maybe you want to include something vaguely humorous in the posting to make that clear. I responded to your post in the tone in which it was written, before I got to see your next one. Sorry if that upset you. You seemed to imply rugby...

Yep, although that's probably a bit of a myth. The first mention of football as an organised team sport, as opposed to the free-for-alls which often bore more resemblance to rugby than football, was perhaps at Eton. (accoding to wiki, anyway). Maybe the fat posh lads didn't like rugby...

I'm sorry mate, but that's just utter rubbish. I don't know where you played, or where you watch, but that's not what I've seen. As for singing vulgar songs, you do occasionally go to footy, right? ;) Cov RFC's fall from grace came about by not being properly geared up for the professional...

I'd have to disagree. Cov RFC are building steadily and sustainably and would be much better off continuing to do so. The last thing they want to do is involve themselves in the Ricoh/CCFC circus. The BPA is ideal for the crowds they'll get in the forseeable future, and as things improve it...

Yep, I can see your point. I suppose my argument is that stadium rentals are typically leases over a long period, and the club should be able to budget for, manage and control that. If you took away a club's freedom to rent rather than buy, does it mean that some clubs wouldn't be able to...

I see your point, but I think the FL's rules as they are drafted are quite adequate, if only they were enforced. I'd say it's up to teams to decide how they fulfil them - the key to it is that they're not allowed to move out of their area. There's no difference to my my mind between building a...

What a difference - the FA stick to their rules, and the academy seems to be heading back to Cov. The FL break theirs, and the first team is stuck in Northampton.

Great question. In truth I'm struggling to see much that they did wrong - and I don't mean that as a wind-up, I just can't see what they could've done differently. I suppose they could've held off on administration - but Fisher did threaten liquidation and it seemed fairly obvious that the...

I'm not quite sure which bit of my response was snide, but hey ho. What on earth gives you the idea that SISU could either afford or would offer £30m for the Ricoh? They walked away from buying the Higgs share, and they've got the arse with the council because they couldn't pick up the...

Here we go again. £10m grant, plus the £14m to buy out the ACL mortgage (which wouldn't have been necessary had SISU paid the rent). That's at least £24m that Cov CC are down at the moment. Higgs put in £6m, to buy out CCFC's share. To be honest, I've got work to do today, but I'm always...

Two aspects to that Nick: One is whether you'd trust SISU with the Ricoh? What are the odds they'd separate it out and the club would find themselves in a similar tenant/landlord (or holdings/ltd) position. Even if you could resolve that (and let's face it given SISU's history who could...

Which is akin to me saying your taste in music is shite. Frankly, it's a daft comment. Each to their own, I guess. I like both games, personally, but to suggest rugby players are gay is kind of a pathetic slur. Research seems to suggest that people who have a problem with homosexuals often...

So says the number one forum troll, who seemingly has to get a whine in about the protest on every thread. Who are you to say what represents the 'average' supporter?

On the contrary, there appears to be quite a lot of evidence that suggests undervalue or zero value transfers from one company to another, presumably as you've said with the intention of CCFC Ltd being able to break the lease with ACL. Other than Fisher's assertions (which seem to be steadily...

Excellent point. Everything is in a terrible mess apart from the bits that suit SISU which are all in perfect order! How convenient.
