Besides the obvious fact we are now less in debt than before there are a couple of upsides to this that I can see. 1) the only way for SISU to now get a return is success on the field, the idea that they can take millions out of the club when players are sold as they are 'owed' it is out the...

It would be a very unusual loan agreement if there was no mechanism for CCC calling in the loan if required.

That in inself is not unusual, it's all down to how the companies are linked and if we are charged rent, recieve revenues and who owes any debt.

That's a turn up for the books. I suppose they could always hold out claiming their shares are worth £60m but they must know they are never going to see that money again. If the debt has been wiped out in the clubs accounts does it follow that it's also wiped out in the accounts of the lender...

In my opinion when we're talking about something like selling ACL to Wasps it should be a free vote. The political system is this country is a shambles, if anyone watched Inside the Commons you were left wondering how the hell anything ever gets done. The majority of the time people don't even...

I'm sure there are people who are genuinely staying away because of SISU or a specific reason but I think its a small % of those who have stopped regularly attending. For me the biggest single reason our crowds have dropped is the performance on the pitch. If we were sat in the top 6 at the...

Totally agree, if there's nothing to hide get someone independent in to go over the whole thing and report back on how the deal was done and any area's of concern either from a legal, regulatory or moral standpoint. I suppose the dream scenario for SISU and / or the club would be the result of...

Was there any follow up after rugby council specifically denied the claims made by Fisher in the stadium forum minutes?

Would be very interesting to know what happened behind the scenes. After this report if I recall correctly there was a meeting of the council, which was not minuted, and I believe at which Wasps had representation. After which it suddenly changed to a unanimous vote! When I've asked councillors...

I can't understand why at least one member of our local press hasn't asked Fisher or the club for comment on Rugby councils recent statement. Wouldn't that be a fairly simple thing to do, you have two statements that are completely contradictory, why not ask for an explanation. Of course the...

The short term / long term argument is impossible to prove one way or the other from the information we have. It could be SISU only offered a short term contract, equally it could be that Mowbray didn't want anything longer. My hope is they have an agreement to extend should both sides be happy...

It could be that the initial years are up but would it not make sense for the council to say that when Reid followed up on the comments Lucas made? This really isn't a difficult question for the council to answer, either the money is from council reserves and Lucas was incorrect or the money is...

Would assume he'll be joining Mowbray if he stays on past the end of the season then.

Unless Mowbray thinks he's a negative influence I can see him staying until the end of the season, past that will depend on how well they get on and if Mowbray would rather have someone else in. Does Mowbray have a regular partner in crime?

Is the 'new' bit not the fact that in a meeting last week Lucas claimed the money loaned to ACL had come from borrowing rather than council reserves and that to say otherwise was a lie? That would contradict what has been previously stated by the council and it seems when Reid has asked for...

Good stuff, under £15 a match. Sure all those who have been saying they can't go as it's too expensive will be taking up this offer :)

Reading the article it appears not. It would seem that Lucas stated in the recent budget meeting that the loan to ACL did not impact on the ability of the council to use its reserves as the money for the loan had come from borrowing not council reserves. This contradicts what has been said...

What have legal proceedings got to do with anything, either it came from council reserves and Lucas has been 'misinformed' again or it came from borrowing. You couldn't get a much simpler question and they refuse to answer it!

If there isnt any new players will need to be XXXXL

I would doubt it is their plan but it would be foolish of anyone to assume they won't move in the future given how they have acted in the past. I see nothing to suggest that they wouldn't move should the move be to their advantage.
