    wolves in for leon clarke

    If Wilson is out for any length of time then clearly we need to hold on to Clarke. That said everyone has a price and if a high end offer comes in for him, and I think this thread has a lot of under valuations for a player scoring for fun with term left on his contract, then it will be hard to...

    Anybody know why Carlisle on a Thursday night

    Was moved from the Saturday as northampton are at home. Carlisle didn't want to move to Sunday as they have a game the following Tuesday.

    Tweet From Conor Thomas

    Good that he's not broken his neck or anything horrendous like that but a concussion can take a while to recover from and it's one of those injuries where it's hard to tell how long it will take someone to recover. Look at NFL or hockey players who have concussion injuries and some of them are...

    SISU 99 Year Lease?

    As with anything you're looking at how much the seller wants but there are some figures we know already. The most obvious way to achieve the desired outcome is for SISU to purchase ACL having an agreement regarding a new 99 year lease in place with the council. The £14m loan will have to be...

    New Stadium nothing without fans

    The problem with atmosphere at the Ricoh is not the stadium and its a problem that could be addressed fairly easily IMHO. The atmosphere was shocking at HR on numerous occasions and it's the same at any ground. A bit of success, start filling the stadium and you'll soon see the atmosphere...

    SISU 99 Year Lease?

    Also worth bearing in mind that in 99 years the Ricoh will be an old ground and won't be generating as much income, it may well be that a new stadium is needed by the time the lease ends. Although if the Ricoh complex is still successful and has been expanded it may well be the case they'd build...

    SISU 99 Year Lease?

    Your lease may well just keep renewing but if it doesn't once that lease hits 80 years remaining you'll find the value of your flat diminishing and the less time left of the lease the lower the value will be. That's because, theoretically at least, at the end of the lease the owner of the...

    SISU 99 Year Lease?

    Could the owner of the freehold put a term in the lease stating that in the event of any lending being made against the lease it is void and returns to the owner of the freehold? Wouldn't any lease have clauses regarding what happens if the leaseholder experiences an insolvency event? Again...

    SISU 99 Year Lease?

    wouldn't need to worry about that if it was a peppercorn rent. can't imagine the rent would be much more than that if SISU purchased 100% of ACL and paid off the loan.

    SISU 99 Year Lease?

    spot on, while it would be great for everyone else its hard to see how SISU could ever hope to make £60m plus back that they claim to have already invested along with the additional cost of purchasing the freehold. even with the club and the stadium rejoined and if we managed to get back in the...

    New Stadium nothing without fans

    I don't think we really need to worry about who will or won't be going to the new stadium as its highly unlikely it will ever be built.

    SISU 99 Year Lease?

    Do you mean this (CJs first post doesn't say anything about it): That reads to me more that SISU expect the council to wind ACL up, which I'm not sure it's in their power to do, and issue a new lease to SISU, possibly for free. What it would really need is SISU to bid for ACL with an agreement...

    SISU 99 Year Lease?

    Is it noted anywhere exactly what he said? This seems like a big breakthrough if it's as being reported by SL so seems a bit odd everyone missed it so hoping it's not CWR getting the wrong end of the stick.

    SISU 99 Year Lease?

    hope that's the case, I've said for a while that is the best option all round. if they buy out ACL and council and pay off the loan I don't think anyone would object to them owning the lease at a peppercorn rent. CCC retaining the freehold would give a level of protection against SISU doing...

    Rotherham match thread

    King and Phillips in then! :p Being serious if they are both out for any length of time we're going to have to get decent replacements in to have any hope of sneaking into the playoffs. Were Rotherham playing dirty or was it just bad luck to pick up 2 injuries?

    SISU 99 Year Lease?

    is that from SISU directly or just SL speculating? Could be a step forward but it would depend what they mean, do they mean a 99 year lease with ACL, if so at what rent / terms, or do they mean replacing ACL as the management company, if so they would almost certainly need to pay £20m (Higgs...

    I can see why people would have a moan about NOPM being broken if we'd got Man Utd away and people were clamouring for tickets but it's only Barnsley away and not like we're taking 10K, what bandwagon are people getting on?
