I'm sorry mate, but that's just utter rubbish. I don't know where you played, or where you watch, but that's not what I've seen. As for singing vulgar songs, you do occasionally go to footy, right? ;) Cov RFC's fall from grace came about by not being properly geared up for the professional...

I'd have to disagree. Cov RFC are building steadily and sustainably and would be much better off continuing to do so. The last thing they want to do is involve themselves in the Ricoh/CCFC circus. The BPA is ideal for the crowds they'll get in the forseeable future, and as things improve it...

Yep, I can see your point. I suppose my argument is that stadium rentals are typically leases over a long period, and the club should be able to budget for, manage and control that. If you took away a club's freedom to rent rather than buy, does it mean that some clubs wouldn't be able to...

I see your point, but I think the FL's rules as they are drafted are quite adequate, if only they were enforced. I'd say it's up to teams to decide how they fulfil them - the key to it is that they're not allowed to move out of their area. There's no difference to my my mind between building a...

What a difference - the FA stick to their rules, and the academy seems to be heading back to Cov. The FL break theirs, and the first team is stuck in Northampton.

Great question. In truth I'm struggling to see much that they did wrong - and I don't mean that as a wind-up, I just can't see what they could've done differently. I suppose they could've held off on administration - but Fisher did threaten liquidation and it seemed fairly obvious that the...

I'm not quite sure which bit of my response was snide, but hey ho. What on earth gives you the idea that SISU could either afford or would offer £30m for the Ricoh? They walked away from buying the Higgs share, and they've got the arse with the council because they couldn't pick up the...

Here we go again. £10m grant, plus the £14m to buy out the ACL mortgage (which wouldn't have been necessary had SISU paid the rent). That's at least £24m that Cov CC are down at the moment. Higgs put in £6m, to buy out CCFC's share. To be honest, I've got work to do today, but I'm always...

Two aspects to that Nick: One is whether you'd trust SISU with the Ricoh? What are the odds they'd separate it out and the club would find themselves in a similar tenant/landlord (or holdings/ltd) position. Even if you could resolve that (and let's face it given SISU's history who could...

Which is akin to me saying your taste in music is shite. Frankly, it's a daft comment. Each to their own, I guess. I like both games, personally, but to suggest rugby players are gay is kind of a pathetic slur. Research seems to suggest that people who have a problem with homosexuals often...

So says the number one forum troll, who seemingly has to get a whine in about the protest on every thread. Who are you to say what represents the 'average' supporter?

On the contrary, there appears to be quite a lot of evidence that suggests undervalue or zero value transfers from one company to another, presumably as you've said with the intention of CCFC Ltd being able to break the lease with ACL. Other than Fisher's assertions (which seem to be steadily...

Excellent point. Everything is in a terrible mess apart from the bits that suit SISU which are all in perfect order! How convenient.

In fairness, they're may never have been a board meeting, but it doesn't absolve TF of his legal duties. In case it helps, they're outlined here in the CCFC Ltd accounts, just above his signature. It would seem remarkable that between Jun 2012 and Jan 2013 they'd shifted all of those assets in...

That's an interesting take on it - but the books that TF signed off for Ltd in June 2012 still seemed to suggest that the players and most of the business of the club was transacted through Ltd. I believe that he was legally obliged at that point to make it clear that there had been a major...

I'm not sure it has been done within legal limits - if the players were within Ltd and transferred to Holdings, what value did Ltd receive for them? There's some detail below in regard to undervalue transfers of assets, I don't think it's as hard for creditors to prove this as you might think...

But its not a redundancy situation. So it would be seen as a breach of contract I appreciate SISU prefer to weasel out of contracts, but I'm afraid he's fully entitled to be paid up in full or accept a settlement on his terms. An average Joe would be entitled to the same protection under the...

Actually, in terms of the blame game I'm very much 95% SISU/5% ACL on all this, if not even more extreme. But I don't think the Council or ACL should ever close their door to meetings with SISU. Sooner or later, both sides will have to talk. Having said that, I'd expect there's a lot of spin...

I don't know - honestly, who does? Did anyone expect that the bond would be as low as £1m, and not even paid upfront or held in escrow. Would it really be a surprise if they let this slip as well?

Actually, they didn't get all of their money. Even assuming the FL enforced the CVA terms, it's still just a proportion of what they are actually owed - and it offers them very little compared to the true value of the lease. I wonder even ACL even knew about this clause - it seems to have come...
