The only bit I seen was the soft threat from the minister that the FL has to get itself sorted.

As chiefdave says that was before the restructured loan with the council. Within that set of accounts the club also missed two rental payments if my memory serves me right? I think you might be over estimating how much they make off F&B's. Didn't OSB show it was probably no more than about £50k?

Only caught the end of it.

Not really. Made just under £1.1m with the club paying a rent of £1.2m. That £100k could be easily recuperated over the course of a year through alternative events.

Sometime next month I think

Their second question has everything to do with Sisu. Unless you think Ann Lucas should have the authority to force CCFC in to agreements?

Surely you want your council leader to show some emotion to it? Otherwise its just another Peugeot/GEC/Ericsson that has left the city. If there's no emotion involved, then surely the council should act in the way it did when these left?

I think Joy must have charmed the dashing, brave Journalist. Perhaps the deal was if he helps her, then she will let him dab his quill in her ink pot?

Would you prefer it we called them a pay day loan company? The other alternative name for them is the Investment Refund Account, or IRA for short.

Possibly yes. I just mean I don't think the council will say much if anything before the JR.

I think most of us would support that as an idea. Get the council to say publically what they would be willing to do in order for the club to come back. However I can't help but think that sort of message would be more effective after the JR.

Points 1 and 3 are valid questions to ask the council. I thought there was going to be a council meeting to look into this sometime next month? Point 2 is a question that needs to be answered by Sisu. The council cannot force sisu to move back, nor does it have any direct responsibility over...

Careful now.

I never said he was. Responsibility is different to obligation.

Surely the responsibility of his job is to report all local news, not just the bits he's personally interested in?

Seen as his address is on those documents, I couldn't help but look up what Richardsons house looked like. Would have thought he would live somewhere a bit grander than this.

I'm not going to pretend that McGinnity was great for the club or anything like that, but he never pulled any punches about what his role was. He was there to lower the dangerously high debt. I can't remember the exact figures, but was it not something like £60m down to £20m? In the past 20...

We have unity. 90% wont go. That's about as unified as an Arab election result.

Who is happy about us paying rent to acl? But if we're going to be rent anyway, why do you have an issue with acl?
