From that article regarding the players straddling two companies: Could ACL or any of the bidders take any legal action over this?[/COLOR]

I'm trying to find it. No luck so far...

That was the allegation in Sisu's judicial review statement wasn't it? If memory serves me correctly, just before the judge gave his verdict on that I'm sure I saw a tweet from Les Reid saying he had been informed a couple of weeks earlier that a statement had been submitted by the other side...

If Sisu/Otium have the money to keep Coventry City going for years and years, am I right in thinking that will satisfy the auditors that Coventry City is a going concern and Otium will be able to submit their accounts any day now?... :thinking about:

And it was probably just a coincidence that concerns were being raised about ACL's financial viability shortly after discussions began with Sisu over buying a half-share in the Ricoh...

Do you have a link to a source for this? I have been looking without success. I have dug up Coventry Telegraph reports that there were talks in May 2012 (http://www.coventrytelegraph.net/news/coventry-news/coventry-city-owners-sisu-talks-3024826) but the paper reported on November 27, 2012...

The Coventry Telegraph reported on November 27th 2012, more than a month before the £14m council mortgage deal, that talks over buying the 50% stake had broken down. The article said:

Ah yes, maybe I got CCFC's sale price for its F&B income mixed up with the Higgs half-share price. I don't think we know how much Higgs would want for their half-share exactly, but I have now read it has been estimated at £10m, which I accept could put this idea beyond the reach of the regular...

I don't know what the council would want, but they might they not look a bit daft if they tried to stop the community buying into a community asset? And that would be the difference between the fans trying to buy it and anyone else trying to buy it. Sadly, most land purchases will come with some...

Just had an idea pop into my head. There maybe 101 holes you can pick in it - and I'm sure you all will point them out to me! But here it is: Could the fans, through the Sky Blues Trust, buy the Higgs share of the Ricoh? If I remember correctly CCFC Ltd loses the first right to that share when...

A seller, by definition, requires a buyer. Have Sisu actually ever put in a monetary offer for the Higgs share?

These lines are confusing me. In one line Mr Clarke is saying the league and the FA are confident they registered players in the right place, but in this line “I don’t know the answer to that question. It may be interesting to get to the bottom of – but it wouldn’t change anything. The club has...

So is the implication of what Mr Clarke said to essentially give the green light for any club to franchise to another town or city as long as they have lawyers sending them letters saying their company must be allowed to do what is in its own commercial interests? :thinking about:

Part Two of the Les Reid interview with Greg Clarke (apologies if this has been posted elsewhere and I haven't seen it): “I spend most of my efforts trying to keep Coventry alive," says Football League chairman 16 Aug 2013 08:05 Greg Clarke says Sisu would not fail its “fit and proper test”...

You might think that Otis and I might think that, but in the strange world of Sisu...

Exactly my point. As the maths around ticket revenue suggests they would make more money if they play in Coventry than Northampton, then if they can afford to keep the club going in Northampton surely they can afford the reduced rent at Coventry (even without F&B revenue)? Therefore, why...

I'm beginning to wonder how much longer the Football League will survive. If, as we seem to be discovering, its rules have the transparency and consistency of playdough they'll eventually get caught in a tangled web of contradictory decisions.

At least they have a ground...

If Mr Clarke is saying, on the one hand, Sisu have the money to keep running the football club for years to come but, on the other hand, is also saying that the option was groundshare or extinction, then doesn't that make the obvious conclusion we can draw seem to be that Sisu told the league...

Thanks for posting that Jack.
