You're right in saying that laws can only be changed in the future, but wrong in saying this will have no effect in the present. What this is doing, right now, is putting serious pressure on the FL (and possibly the FA). The last thing they'll want is to give the Government an excuse to pry...

It isn't complicated, you're right. ACL have offered to talk, right now. SISU have refused. It really is that simple. How anyone can support SISU's stance on this is utterly beyond me, but there you go.

In essence that's complicating something that's actually very simple. ACL are saying let's talk, SISU are refusing. It's impossible to spin this as anything else.

It's not two sides of the same coin though, is it. ACL want talks without strings, right now. SISU are refusing those talks.

There's a multi-million pound lease and the future of the club and possibly the club's owners riding on this. I wouldn't be so quick to make assumptions, personally.

I can't spend all day on this, but I don't think it's anything like that simple. And it sounds like you're trying to blame ACL here for SISU's failure to negotiate. ACL: Let's talk, no strings attached. SISU: No. What's not clear about that? If the CVA isn't signed, then a whole can of worms...

The problem is that there's little clarity on who the ultimate owners of the funds are are, but it's clear that JS has been working as a shadow director and that SISU have been the controlling company in all of this. I can't see JS stepping down from SISU. All things are possible, but I find...

Actually, I think it's a lot simpler than that. If wrongdoing is found, then SISU's claim to be fit & proper owners is shot down in flames. Presumably CCFC Ltd is shown to be the club, and the other parties interested in purchasing the club get their chance at a straightforward deal. We're...

It's good to see that we're getting support from Aidy Bothroyd's ball boys. ;)

All things are possible, but I'd prefer to think that you just hold a different opinion. Me too fwiw. Maybe I'm a c-unit too. Bald too. It's all going against me I guess. ;)

I'm not his biggest fan, but I like what Bob's doing here. These are questions that should be answered before the FL ratifies any deal, not afterwards.

I'm sorry but I could turn that argument right on it's head. You hold Fisher and SISU in so much respect (in this regard, I'm not accusing you of being a SISU-apologist here) that you're completely ignoring the merits of the case. You've convinced yourself that they've done no wrong on the...

That is an excellent question. My thought is that he might have done it either because he's been told to do it, or was naive enough to do it, or thought that if he could sling enough mud about he might never be caught doing it, or simply had to do it to preserve SISU's hold on the company and...

Holdings & Limited are different legal entities. The law regarding asset stripping is specifically designed to stop the transfer of assets out of a company, leaving it with only liabilities. I'm not an accountant either, but I've run my own business, worked in banking, and I've some experience...

Think you're about spot on with most of this, imho. Interview was between 9:00 and 9:30. Pretty much that whole half-hour.

Actually, I'd differ. I think it's a risk well worth taking. As I recall there is the power to unwind transfers of assets that have taken place within three years, for companies that have gone into administration. Plus there's the possiblity that our directors conduct would make them unfit to...

Not quite the way I heard it torchy. If there's anything to take away from this, I think it's that it's not all over yet. But it doesn't sound like we should bank on much help from the FL, unless the path of least resistance that they seem determined to follow suddenly gets a bit harder...

PWKH came across well I thought. A few things that came out: If the CVA is voted through, then there's no further investigation into the goings on at CCFC Ltd. He was careful to couch his words, but in essence this was a reference to the assets that seem to have gone missing from CCFC Ltd...

So says a glorified forum troll.

Well the maths are a bit tricky, but I'd start off with the number of jobs and the tax that they pay. And then add the savings assuming at least a proportion of those might be claiming benefits instead. Plus any corporation tax, rent, and rates. And there's the more intangible money that...
