what are you suggesting that they rip off the club for that as well :(

Presumably SISU don't care about a points deduction. They can't make the business work in any division. probably losing less now than in the championship.

It is all very well saying the team can carry on as before but it is up to CCFC Ltd to provide them with somewhere to play. It is still an active entity with an active rental agrement with ACL. Presumably the rent arrears will just build up and ACL will take a hit in terms of the final p in £...

the FL will not be happy if we cannot fulfil our fixtures presumably it was Luton who were made an example of - not sure what good that did - clubs are still doing it

The council cared enough about CCFC fans to build a stadium for their team to play in. They created ACL to run it and agreed a rent which the club was happy to pay. CCFC sold the stadium they did own - pocketed the money and had no idea how they were going to serve their customers. What they...

My suspicion is that SISU knew all along that the golden share was with CCFC Ltd. But they have aimed to make ACL appear to be unreasonable. What about the other unreasonable people who have taken about £8m out of the club every year.

or indeed by taking money out and writing it off as a debt

I do not understand all this finance language but you appear to have hit the nail on the head. ie SISU said we were debt free when in fact they had created a new debt with themselves as the creditors. I'm not really sure how all these numbers play out because it doesn't really matter if we are...

It will be the lawyers who will be most worried about costs.

In answer to the OP it was always fairly obvious that the previous debt didn't just disappear when SISU took over. It was just shifted around and redefined. If you think about it if Robinson's 'loan' is £30m and becomes due only when we get in the premier league then that is a disincentive for...

not bad for a club that was 'debt free' just a few years ago.

Folding and starting again is not the disaster some imagine. For one thing it is likely ACL would support the new club. Secondly fans tend to be loyal to their club and continue watching even in the lowest leagues. Thirdly - football at the lower levels is not as bad as people who haven't...

I'm surprised no one has commented on this Talking to The Sunday Times about a possible Leeds takeover, in which he promised £10m to invest in players, Haskell IV said: "As a businessman I see a club that has an incredible brand and that offers a great entrepreneurial opportunity to take...

Also Arsene Wenger - er - no wait.....

I would genuinely like an answer to this: I would just like to ask those who see ACL/Council/Alan Higgs Trust as the bad boys in all this, where they would have liked CCFC to have played their fixtures for the last 10 years. Presumably the above were the bad boys when CCFC sold everything it...

I would just like to ask those who see ACL/Council/Alan Higgs Trust as the bad boys in all this, where they would have liked CCFC to have played their fixtures for the last 10 years. Presumably the above were the bad boys when CCFC sold everything it owned including the ability to sell hot...

I've always thought that if we had bit the bullet and bought John Hartson a couple of months earlier we wouldn't be where we are today.

Can anyone say whether ACL need the club at all? Do the other revenue streams pay the loan off? In which case they could just close the football pitch down and use the stadium for big events.

I hope we do but won't mind if we don't. This season has been the best on the football front for half a generation. a semi final in a cup and a good chance of top six - it is like heaven.

I'm lost now. what is the point? Would the council run the club better than SISU? The council can't run the club. They have no mandate to do so.
