    Still the same: £40-£50m for squad / goodwill / golden share but SISU need £60m to balance books. DK has absorbed £50m debt to his portfolio, will service debt on it, the 15% represents the £5-10m that SISU will keep on their books - maybe wasn’t client funded. Just speculation, which I why I...

    I think you’ve hit upon something with the running out of cash point. If Joy knew that CCFC could be “aggressively taken over / distressed” by MA who was clearly going to buy the Arena and then (according to Twitter Piggy and credible posters on here) fully try to buy CCFC then admitting you...

    That’s how I see it. Absorption of the debts that SISU have ascribed to CCFC into his portfolio. Possibly then using own funds to clear HMRC. OSB / @MalcSB is that how you see it?

    They couldn’t afford to write off their debt. Now it looks like they have transferred / swapped their debt to another Hedge fund. Ie, SISU are no longer liable to that pool of investors in Arvo or whatever. DK is now liable but has £50m of assets (players, Ryton?, league standing “goodwill”)...

    The Wasps angle needs a little look at. If MA starts making noises that he is going to get behind Wasps then it potentially devalues CCFC. Wasps at Arena takes a little bit of potential support and corporate hospitality and advertising away (whether we like it or not) Plus, it’ll impact the...

    Good analysis. I said before it’s a waiting game whilst a load of rival clubs eventually run out of money or their owners realise that wilting to fan pressure to spend millions on players has to stop (and they pull the plug like Derby)

    I think MA is genuinely thinking of putting distribution warehouses up here (bang in the middle of the country by the M1/M6) and will be getting more than £8m in opportunities such as cheap land deals. Plus, if the Council were thinking of giving Wasps another £30m then what might MA get when...

    Right now, she might well be outside the court genuinely devastated. You can compare her to mass murderers if you like, I think she’s someone who listened to bad advice and made initial poor decisions. This latest one poor too. Mass murderers? Have a word.

    Hindsight. It’s the Ranson and Ken and Ogwe characters that I hold responsible. They come in and act clever with other peoples money than scarper when they get it wrong. Poor Joy was backstage then but was left holding a poor hand.

    That it’s not worth that and nobody bid that are two different things. As I said. Let’s see if DK ups his bid.
