but what's their exit strategy? even if they did build their own ground they wouldn't be able to sell the club & ground package for enough to recoup their investment. The only way I can think of is getting to the prem, pocket the money and sell up but how many teams who are performing well on...

Couple of thoughts spring to mind here, why are ACL working with the FL? I can see they'd be in talks with the administrator as they are a creditor and we are led to believe the company in admin holds the lease. But what are ACL talking to the FL about? Would also be good to have clarification...

has to be this. there's no other reason to stay silent. one statement from them could clear up all the confusion so by staying silent it implies there is some truth in what Fisher is saying and buying Ltd doesn't mean you will own a FL team. i think they're hoping SISU buy Ltd out of admin and...

the we will be transparent by putting someone local up as a front bit was strange. thats a bit like saying SISU are transparent because we've got Tim Fisher fronting it for them.

I'd rather go and possibly get a chance to ask a decent question rather than wait for a report on here that's its the usual suspects in attendance and nothing of any significance being asked. May well be a waste of time but I can't see that going will make things any worse.

there was a fair bit of praise for SISU, wonder if they're doing some ego stroking as they are looking to buy holdings as well?

So it looks like Leon has taken up boxing and has his debut at York Hall in Bethnal Green on 29th June. Details here is anyone wants to pop along.

i took that as they want to own either the freehold or ACL but know that won't be done in time for next season so are happy to play a year on similar terms to the 3 games played at the end of last season.

I've got one, might come up on the Friday night. Lets face it the more people who go who won't ask when we're signing Messi or something equally daft the better! Doubt it will be on the radio as there's 3 of them.

probably shouldn't read too much into Fletchers involvement, I would imagine they've just spoken with him as he would have some inside knowledge. it's not being suggested he comes back and runs the club or anything like that is it?

Surely if you have information you should release it and let people make up their own minds? To say it "does not matter as any decision is out of our hands" is slightly bizarre, what's the point of the protest tomorrow or indeed the trust getting involved in anything to do with the club at the...

not that this is likley to happen but if we got new owners and they decided to sponsor the club for £100m a year does that not get you round FFP?

it's a pretty common business practice, if you want to get planning permission etc for large scale projects you find something local to support as a sweetner. I imagine that's exactly what's happening here, they want access to land, ease of passing through planning permission, possible...

think someone (Mutton?) was interviewed a couple of months back and said they weren't interested in selling to anyone.

What show was this on and how far in, not sure I can listen to hours of CWR on iplayer to try and find it!

I was under the impressin that only the Higgs 50% of ACL was available? It wasn't too long ago we had the council saying they would never sell to anyone which seems at odds with your statement here. For clarity are you stating that both the council and Higgs wish for CCFC to have 100% ownership...

they can only put on the people who phone up, has anyone on here who's against SISU been refused airtime because of their viewpoint. if that's happening then there's every reason to complain, if it's not and you're not happy with what's being said why not phone up yourself?

Only thing I can think of is do we retain Kilbane's registration as he retired? but then he was only signed at the start of last season. have they kept long contracts that they want shot of in ltd?

why is everyone saying an 8K stadium is too small, I thought noone was going anymore?! :p

seems a bit stupid to have a statue of Jimmy at the Ricoh if the team aren't there anymore. if noone wants it moved to the potential new ground why not move it to the city centre or the highfield road site? At least that way people might see it occasionally.
