Indeed - but looking at the accounts for Ltd they've been fairly consistent since 2008 (and before), and the last ones were signed in 2012 by TF. It would be odd, imho, if such a major transfer wasn't mentioned in the accounts. And TF (as I understand it) had a duty to mention when signing in...

They're not surprised at the documents, they're surprised that neither the Administrator nor the FL seems to have paid any attention to a situation that they should have been aware of. At least that's the way I've read it.

Not just the FL & FA - what was the administrator playing at? If Holdings really has 'beneficial ownership' over CCFC Ltd assets, how can they prove it? And if CCFC Ltd was trading in effect without assets or income, and just building up liabilities - then the directors (and the shadow...

I don't think it's third-party ownership - but it's even more evidence that she's a 'shadow director'. HMRC definition, below. http://www.hmrc.gov.uk/manuals/insmanual/ins44133.htm "It should be remembered that acting as a shadow director is not an offence in itself (unless the person is an...

As cloughie says. Everything football related was in CCFC Ltd in 2008. And the accounts for CCFC Ltd don't seem to have change much in that regard since that date, including the latest set signed off by TF. So where did the assets go since TF signed off those audited accounts? Who authorised...

Come off it. SISU have drip fed the club for the last few years, and their only plan has been to break ACL for the last year. In that plan they've had utterly no regard for the fans. They've ripped the assets out of what was the club and manouvered in such a way that even if their someone...

Actually, Compass are enormous, if ACL owned 72% of them they wouldn't have to worry about anything. A joint company (IEC?) was set up between Compass and ACL to handle F & B at the Ricoh. Compass wanted to buy in rather than just supply, presumably. ACL own 70%+ of that company. On that...

Hi chief, in truth I don't think any investigation will go as far as the ultimate source of SISU's funds. And to be clear to any lawyers watching, I'm not for a moment suggesting that SISU are involved in laundering, I'm just pointing out the structures. As you say the investigation will focus...

Ah, I had to learn about it in a previous life, not as a launderer btw, but on the other side of the fence. Actually, some might say banking is on the same side of the fence! I'm not bad on PPI regs either. Here's some free advice. Don't use claims firms! You just know our next shirt...

Always seems a bit harsh to me, this. I'm sure he didn't want to get injured or spend so much time injured for us, and I'm sure that like every other footballer at every level all he really wants to do is play. I'm well over forty and crap, and always have been, but all I want to do is play! I...

I can't imagine that SISU do anything illegal, but fwiw I'll tell you who really likes multi-layered, opaque company structures, based outside conventional banking regulation, and with no obvious beneficial owner. Money launderers. Generally speaking they also don't worry too much about...

Now this actually did make me laugh out loud. My thanks.

What I don't understand about Byng, if that if he's serious about doing a deal with ACL and SISU why would he come on the radio and lay into ACL after the fact. From a business point of view, it's bananas. I might think SISU are a bunch of ars*holes (as indeed I do), but I wouldn't go on the...

I like the words 'sentence' and 'Fisher' in the same sentence, especially if it also contains something like 'guilty' and ends with the phrase 'take him down'. In fairness you know, outside of this he could be the nicest bloke in the world, is kind to his kids, gives generously to charity etc...

Fair enough - I must confess that wasn't the way I heard it. Maybe I was grinding my teeth too hard and it affected my hearing. ;) To be clear, even now I'd be delighted if they could thrash out a deal - but I just don't think it's part of the SISU strategy. Happy to be proved wrong.

I'm not being sarcastic here, but did you listen to the interview? Linnell seemed to come at it from about six different directions, until finally he got something along the lines of "if Martin Reeves called you would you talk to him?". Even then it seemed like the most grudging of responses...

I hope so too - but if you were listening I think it's fairly obvious that that statement had to be pulled out of him like a four-foot wisdom tooth. I can't see that TF will ever deal honestly with ACL, though obviously he doesn't want to show that to the public.

OK, let's get this straight. In your opinion, ACL offered the rent deal to CCFC Ltd. A rent deal that would have meant that CCFC Ltd could have traded financially in a far more robust way than the move to Northampton will allow them to. And yet the administrator, who at one point stated he...

In fairness, I thought I'd check on HMRC's policy, because I'd got it in my head that they almost always reject CVA's especially from football clubs. However that's not the case, they'll reject CVAs from footy clubs if there are preferred creditors like players because they don't like that...

I think we must owe the taxman something for them to be involved. I guess that shouldn't be a surprise. Liquidations obviously come under much more scrutiny than CVAs, so it's possible they've seen something they didn't like in the affairs of the company and want a further investigation...
