bit of a side issue at the moment but does this not make the buy back clause pretty worthless? We've already found out the supposed formula had the price at around £4m more than Higgs paid for it and it seems even if SISU did want to buy it they couldn't anyway!

It's not going to be straightforward that's for sure. Imagine if you had CCFCH with a group of companies under it, one of which was CCFC and another which ran some random buiness, let's say a sweet shop. If the sweet shop went bust would you really expect CCFC to get a points deduction? If it...

what if they transferred everything else and just left the rent agreement / arrears?

Seen a few Walsall fans having a pop in the last few months? Didn't know they had a problem with us, anything in particular upset them?

on the face of it very different to what Saints did but we only have the club statement to go on. With Saints it was the holding club that wholly owned and operated the football club, to all intents and purposes they are the same entity. With this is will come down to what this country is, on...

The thing is we'll never really know how well ACL do without CCFC if it actually happens! Think the Olympics is a bit of a red herring, it won't happen again and if I remember correctly we only got the games as Villa Park wasn't ready in time. The notion that, even with a roof, the use of the...

I'm going c as well, can't see anything being resolved tomorrow. There will probably only be a short amount of time allocated so if SISU put up any sort of defence they will need to schedule a full hearing.

Think part of it will depend on how much time the court have allocated. If it's only enough time for a quick yes or no and SISU come in with a defence that needs examination they will most likley schedule a new date with a longer hearing. Believe they shut down over Easter so could be waiting a...

What happens if, for example, he decided to purchase a car parking space from CCFC for £1m a game or sponsor the team for £100m? I'm sure there will be a loophole somewhere and as soon as it's found the whole thing becomes pointless.

To me it just shows how childish the whole thing is. ACL don't seem to be able to give a straight answer without having a dig at SISU.

That's how I've always seen it but I've always assumed I've missed something as people bang on about tax payers money etc when it looks to me like the council put in £10m then had ACL give them £21m for the lease, a pretty good return on investment! There has to be something we're missing...

But didn't they already have a court order to get that money back and if CCFC go into admin they aren't going to get anywhere near what they are owed are they? If it comes down to the threat of liquidation I would think ACL are on very shaky ground as they were threatening liquidation long...

where do things stand legally if ACL are essentially trying to force CCFC into admin to allow their preferred new owners in? I imagine it's just one of those things in business but could we end up with a huge legal wrangle if SISU don't want to go quietly?

As soon as you hit the phrase 'property developer' huge alarm bells go off for me. People slate SISU saying they're only interested in the stadium, would a property developer have different interests? Would be very intested to hear what he has to say but it takes more than a name of a...

Any chance that the people who are speaking on behalf of the Trust could be identified as such, how difficult would it be to change the bit that says JSB, Manager etc to show they were trust officials?

I wouldn't be so sure about that, we always seem to manage to find a way.

Wasn't the Yorkshire loan to ACL so they could hand £40m (?) over to the council for the lease? ACL didn't pay any building costs did they?

Southamptons stadium is another one in a pretty central location, they're planning to expand as well http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showpost.php?p=101121345&postcount=50

You can be in administration for 12 months but you can then apply to the courts for an extension. The bigger issue is the practicallity of running a football club while in administration. You can only offer month to month contracts and you can't start 2 seasons in administation so, assuming we...

I don't really get why more people don't join, it's not expensive and if you don't like what they're doing you can join up and say so and maybe get things changed! Could something maybe be added to season ticket forms to give people an option to join the trust?
