I know exactly what the escrow was for, how it came about and where the momey came from. Point was it was there and they were able to draw on it - and the amount was greater than the proposed new rent deal. Quite an elementary point I was making I thought. And please don't argue that ACL...

Complete meltdown.

Their tactics at the end were all wrong, everyone agrees on that. The analogy doesn't work because it is too simplistic. The club are not purchasing goods, it is a complex tenancy arrangement in which both sides have a vested interest in making it work. To use your analogy though, if the...

One more season without promotion and the whole thing could come crashing down for them. Fingers crossed eh.

Agree. Since we fully expect the club to come out of administration once SISU regain control (hopefully they won't, but it the most likely outcome), then this offer seemingly becomes null and void. They need to clarify it really.

Fine, but that can be achieved without this two stage sale of the club - so throwing their hat into the ring is just muddying the waters as I see it. Far better that PH4 or another purchase the club via the administrator and then negotiate directly with ACL/Higgs re the purchase of the Arena or...

Since when did they 'allow' them to get away with it? They still received more via the escrow account than they were proposing to receive under the new deal that was/wasn't agreed. They then made moves to force the club into administration. I welcome this move by ACL, it is a sensible one...

crap analogy tbf.

So why are you and others using the 'one entity' argument, when it is clear to everyone that this isn't their intention and that they would simply sell the club on? Here's an idea, let's bypass that process completely and just sell directly to PH4 or one of the other consortiums? ACL are...

Considering what we know about the other interested parties, it beggars belief that people seem genuinely excited by the prospect of ACL owning the football club. The only consolation is that they haven't a hope in hell of being selected as preferred bidders. There is a contradiction here I...

Ask for the money up front?

I'd like more people to vote for SISU just so I can see Valiant have a meltdown. I'm easily pleased me.

Have now see the edited post. Point taken. Not sure about glucose levels, but my alcohol levels could do with a boost, so on that note...

That did occur to me i.e. that the outcome is very much a forgone conclusion so instead of going through the motions they have approached SISU direct. I guess that's probably just wishful thinking on my part and doesn't explain why he told the CT that a bid had been submitted. We'll see.

By all means do, but it doesn't escape the fact the data is wrong :p It's academic though, as gates would be terrible in such a scenario and the chances of competing at the right end of the table in those circumstances are pretty much nil.

Come on now, you're not really going to start slinging mud at those who plan to watch the team if they play at the Ricoh?

I know, I was just making the point that at just under 6K it wouldn't be bottom 7.

Without wishing to disagree with your general point, Shrewsbury had the 11th highest league average last season, and that was 5736. It would have to be around 4000 to be in the bottom seven - although that is certainly feasible.

Just when you think things cannot get any worse hackneyfox crawls out from underneath his rock.

If we get our way and the club ends up in the hands of PH4 or some other consortium, there's a good chance we'll be deducted 15 points anyway. Can't see SISU agreeing to a CVA. The other outcome and we end up playing outside Coventry in front of next to nobody. Either way, next season is...
