    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    This to me is far more interesting than watching some wannabe celebs eating ring pieces in a jungle. Proper twists and turns about things I find interesting: law, finances, politics and most of all CCFC.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    Looks like the Bondholders could do worse than find an alternative partner. The fact is company number 04187289 (Wasps) has gone (think of it as just a company number for a minute) and the creditors of the group (including Richardson) want the proceeds of the sale of the Arena Lease. The...

    1.2m sounds like 1m plus VAT to the administrator to me to try to get the stadium on the cheap. Administrators = crooked. Never met à straight one.

    I’m not sure it really is £13m repairs or if they have to be done straight away.

    Sounds cheap. Build another one for £17m, even if a little run down now. Exactly.

    Any nonsense about “exploratory conversations by council officers” sounds utter bilge. Why would the Wasps board have a vote about a £60m “exploratory conversation” BS. This will be fun.

    And the Council even thinking about £30m more of taxpayer money to cover Wasp failure. Scandalous.

    Normally if it’s a secured asset, but this case seems to be defying normalcy.

    Olympiacos Friendly

    Any confirmation elsewhere? Any ideas if this is going to be in Greece or if at a neutral venue in Spain? I fancied a few days of avoiding Christmas music in every shop and on every advert.

    Duggins is either a bare faced liar or has so little respect from the senior Council members that they feel they can do as they please. Either way, it’s not a good look.

    Championship 22-23

    Luton are going to struggle without Nathan Jones. In many ways there are a club with parallels to us. Manager that did well for them, left, did badly, returned, did well again. We’ve followed them up the Leagues about a year later. Similar budget. Seem to have a fighting team spirit at the...

    Heads out of arses

    I think a great many people were feeling a bit worried when we were 7 points adrift, especially when we’ve lost a solid defender, couldn’t sign another, had lost Maatsen & JCS, Robins sounded a bit dejected, silly mistakes, no Cal, squad seeming to have a little less depth. I thought we’d be in...

    Heads out of arses

    That’s true. Gyok thought process: “Right, I’ve turned my marker, got into the box time to lay it to one of the attacking mids I’ve caught in the corner of my eye who are running in - they will be able to hit the target” (looks up, it’s Calum and Jamie) “Holy fooks, gonna have to shoot myself”.

    I’m going to mute you. You rarely have anything to contribute other than sarcasm and drivel. Sad and boring.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    I’ve got reasonable knowledge of corporate law and finance. I’m no absolute expert (this is unprecedented stuff) and have never come across scenarios whereby Bondholders and Trustees have contentious security over a lease of a potential community asset with a group In administration. To imply...

    Little known player fact: Gyok’s first club IF Brommapojkarna has a hall of fame. The legend that is Thomas Gustaffson (Antonoleous or something he changed it to) has made his way on to it.

    Gyok Or Arena

    Good question and see why you’ve asked. Let’s say “if the same entity was to own the club and stadium and it was legally linked so no funny business with rent and the golden share was in the same entity as lease”

    Wilson 8 Great save to stop a certain goal, kept a cool head when he came to stop that run to his wide left and didn’t dive in. Good game management and discipline. Improving all the time. Eccles 7 He’s still young but a great prospect. Got caught out a couple of times and panicked a couple...

    Gyok Or Arena

    It’s going to be silly season on here for a few weeks with no Cov games. There is talk of £30m for Viktor which seems quite bonkers but stranger things have happened. 27 scouts the other day someone said, obviously not all Prem, the £25m plus the Germans spent on Bellingham worth noting. I’m...
