    But the Trustees do or at least believe they do - hence my previous posting on the point.

    Wasps going into admin & the impact on CCFC

    I’ve been trying to work out if we’ve all missed another angle - and I’ve no inside knowledge - I’m just thinking out loud. MA clearly got an inside lane on the other bidders. Could it be that he has refinanced or has agreed with the Trustess to refinance the bonds and then became the...

    If the hotel plans include a helipad then we know MA has long term intentions (satire)

    Rents cannot just be raised without adhering to strict criteria. MA cannot charge CCFC more than now save for inflation or something else that would have to go to arbitration. The £13m in repairs could be something but it’s a tricky one. It’s the 1954 Act that protects tenants. Having done...

    I’m not sure anyone really wanted to take on the unsecured debts of ACL. The value is in the lease (in this case because 250 years it’s almost like a freehold) The Bondholders have first charge so the trustee can act like a bank in a mortgage situation: satisfy them with a figure and the...

    Squad Value

    These prices become more realistic if MA buys CCFC and there is no pressure to sell. Find another Gyok or Cal or Gus for those numbers. Would MA have forced Dom to be sold for 1.4m? exactly. Sometimes the buyer of something instantly adds value to the asset that they are buying.

    Squad Value

    I believe SISU had the good sense to get some of them to sign contract extensions - but it meant higher wage bill. Good commercial sense for a change.

    You’ve no self awareness have you? Bless your heart. It’s not fact that we need to have a Prem club bid. It could just as easily be a top level Champ club or German / Spanish / French top club. His wiki bio says he’s in a relationship with a Swedish female football star who plays at...

    I don’t know. Allen - yes. Almost identical - maybe it’s a training ground thing, in a similar way Cal also but he’d tend to try and dribble in and get fouled rather than shoot. Not that that’s the wrong tactic for him - just saying. The rest of the mids (who we can compare Sheaf to) -...

    Squad Value

    It could be easily be a German club (he’s played there and as an EU National (and current international)) has more options than say, Cal. Or, a parachute payment Champ club in the top two / three who know that £170m (or whatever) rides on promotion. To say “we need a Prem Club” is, well…...

    I think the issue with Sheaf and scoring isn’t so much whether it’s his “job” or not. For whatever reason he often finds himself outside of the box with options to pass or shoot. Sometimes the easiest one is to shoot - the defence has parted or he’s picked up a loose ball and the shot is on...
