sorry but we owe £30m to the private equity funds (seperate legal entities), it is shown clearly on the balance sheet how does that make us debt free? If we didnt owe it, ie have the debt, why would GH be finding a way to repay it or discount it ? Why would that be the stumbling block if the...

did you see the cost of watching Premiership football at Blackburn ...... less than £18!

Would find it strange for KD to be working against SISU and with GH considering that KD is appointed by the shareholders of SBS&L Group - who are SISU and Brody. He might be a go between but he has a duty to get the best deal for his shareholders Wasnt Joe Elliott suspended for working with...

yep thats probably true Nick ...... or they franchise the food operation out and just take a fee

There is an interesting BBC report on the cost of watching football. It seems in terms of CCFC the cost is about mid table - only hope the team is by the end of the season!! http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14366574.stm

Has been a fairly uninspiring day so I thought I would end on something i found inspiring and strangely it was last nights TOP GEAR - not a program know for that quality. They did an article about a rally team - these guys were looking to make it into the Dakar Rally which is widely regarded...

Turner has no real value until he starts playing again ......... as yet he hasnt played a game and thats worrying

To fund the cash flow of the club. I seriously doubt any of it will actually repay SISU I would also expect that some of the money would fund some purchase of players because even SISU must realise that we have to have sufficient numbers ..... as for quality well thats a different question...

wasnt there talk that Arsenal were interested in him a while back?

I think the council should get the full market value.... the club has already had significant help by paying a discounted rent for years. There is no reason for them to discount the value for the private company that is CCFC. We get from the city and surrounding area an average crowd of just...

think it is Sky that have the figure wrong - the accounts indicate nearer a million Bottom line is though we shouldnt even be looking at selling him - we need more strikers not one less !!!

Think you will find shmmee it isnt all about the revenue for the council. The Ricoh is a positive icon for the City even if the football team isnt and that has value for the Council and the egos involved. They might want to sell although they have never said they do, but they are duty bound to...

I think like many new grounds there has been a distinct lack of heritage and history at the Ricoh. This aside from being a great tribute to the man I think it adds to the stadium in terms of club heritage

I think it is confused communication rather than miscommunication. Either it is SISU providing the funds direct or they are guaranteeing the additional finance from a bank (there are no assets left to secure a loan). Either way SISU stand to lose if it goes pear shaped

I agree with the plan to own all of it Godiva, I think thats the right thing to do. What I was trying to point out was that owning only half of the shares that control the lease is not going to provide the instant funds for CCFC that are implied by many of the discussions and news bites. It...

Thanks for that info jan :) there isnt anything stopping us renegotiating the rent now which i believe was discounted down to £1m early in our tenure. Owning a share in ACL doesnt make that easier or guaranteed because the council could block it. The directors have to act for the benefit of...

actually i would think that it should be SBS&L as thats the parent co plus is where SISU's loans are. but who knows with this lot lol

ok just to be awkward :D - which Board ? There are three of them all different in constitution. or put another way which of the three companies are being bought/sold ?

I wonder if the rest of the Board & SISU have asked him to curtail his activities for CCFC online and on twitter ?

OK I think I must be missing something in the KD chat, CT reports, the GH proposal etc. All have talked about owning half the stadium as making a difference but how ? The stadium is owned by ACL Group which is split 50:50 between Higgs Trust and Council. CCFC has option to purchase the Higgs...
