Not sure that is strictly true. Took a look at Southampton as a comparison (yes it is a very quiet day in the office!): The Dell PL 97/98 15,159 98/99 15,140 99/00 15,132 00/01 15,115 St Marys PL 01/02 30,633 02/03 30,680 03/04 31,716 04/05 30,609 Championship 05/06 23,613 06/07 23,556 07/08...

From what he's been saying on Facebook he's just bought a new house locally so if he has gone it wouldn't seem he was expecting to be gone!

Great plan, lets have a football forum where we're not allowed to speculate about football!

Depends what agreement was made between GR&MM and ACL. If ACL said we will accept £300K as total payment then the £500K is paid, however if they have said you pay £300K and we'll pursue the remaining £200K from elsewhere then that remaining amount is still owed.

The initial offer was based on p in the £ (can't remember the exact amount, sure someone will know), a revised CVA could be made that increased the p in the £. The second question would need to be answered by ACL however PWKH has stated that it was rejected as SISU / Otium wouldn't agree to 2...

Why would ACL prepare a revised CVA (the job of the administrator not those owed money) when, from what we are told, they stated they would accept the CVA proposed by Appleton if SISU / Otium agreed to 2 pre-conditions? The contents of the CVA don't appear to be the issue here, the real issue...

Think you're making it more complicated than it is. From what we have been told ACL said they would agree to the CVA proposed by Appleton (with no changes to it) as long as 2 conditions were agreed to, those conditions are widely believed to be no longer pursuing the JR and agreeing to a 10 year...

I think that's a touch misleading. The two modifications couldn't be included in the CVA but they could have been agreed to by SISU / Otium as a side deal concluded prior to the signing of the CVA. Its generally believed the two modifications were dropping the JR and agreeing to a 10 year...

I would be happier if I knew the full amount was in Escrow and that this arrangement was acceptable to the FL. We need them to explain what has changed, we've established the payment isn't rent or part of the rejected CVA so why having said Otium must pay £590K is there now doubt, if there even...

Not at all, although I would not object to further scrutiny of the administration process carried out by Appleton. Your statement made it sound as if the rejection of the CVA gave no option than to liquidate which is incorrect, it is one available option and it was Appleton who chose that course...

Liquidation doesn't have to follow the rejection of a CVA. The administrator has other options such as coming back with an improved CVA from either the existing preferred bidder or a new preferred bidder.

Good to see they're making sure they fans are kept informed and not left wondering what the hell is going on!

Crawley ground is OK. Pretty small, probably around 5K but relatively modern. I imagine if you've been told you're not in the managers plans and they're sending you out on loan you don't have a lot of choice. Can't imagine it would go down well if he refused to go.

It's not a legal matter is it? If the company being liquidated legally had to pay ACL an amount why would the FL get involved? Non payment would be illegal and ACL would have a course of action to pursue should that amount not be paid. The payment is a condition for the issuing of the golden...

Its a very fine balance. The problem you have is we can't operate in a bubble. If other clubs are overspending and we are working to break even how do we ever field a competitive team? We possibly could in L1 if we were back at the Ricoh as we'd have bigger crowds than most other teams but if...

I think for a large section of the fanbase you are correct, although you'd hope with everything we've been through in the future we'd be wary of overspending. Most football fans don't have an interest in the finances, they want to turn up every week, pay their money and see a team that is...

I'm not sure that it will be quite the black and white answer people are expecting. For a start we're dealing with the legal technicalities of something here so you could end up with a verdict going one way on a technicality where all the evidence presented indicates that morally, for want of a...
