I've always thought this, you can't cherry pick the bits of Ltd you want either as that would clearly be asset stripping. I think ACL will argue that the lease is tied to the football club and as the share moves around so does the lease.

Look how the question is phrased: With no other option than looking at an alternative venue to host our matches, would you attend games at another stadium outside of Coventry in the short term, to help preserve the long term future of your club? I answered yes but there's no way I'm going to...

It's not too complicated, PA is the administer and he was selected by SISU and has made Otium (a SISU clone) preferred bidder. He is now saying he wants to be the independent mediator. Either he's offering as the administrator and he's therefore not independent or he's not offering as the...

the legal chap speaking on behalf of ACL seemed to imply there was an argument to be had that the lease is tied to the golden share and even if SISU liquidate ltd with the lease in it ACL have a claim that it's still valid. Cardoza might regret publicly saying SISU could afford ot pay the rent...

I put a tenner on one of those cards when they went cashless and it's still got money on it! A lot of people can manage to go 2 hours without a pie!

never like to see fans dragged into things but Cardoza had plenty of warning it was a bad idea getting involved but thought he'd pocket some easy cash. no sympathy for him at all.

ACL don't owe anyone rent.

Wonder if they will take the FL to court as well. Seems like the league have been doing everything they can to avoid SISU taking them to court, would make me laugh if they now got taken to court by ACL instead.

not sure of the business terminology but I would think ACL can either argue all the SISU companies are one and the same and therefore the lease is valid or that SISU have been asset stripping and just leaving liabilities they don't want in Ltd. Struck me as very odd that the administrator...

haha, amazing stuff. good on them. wonder if Cradoza still thinks this is easy money and there's nothing that could possibly go wrong!?

2 points, first Fisher has said they don't have to pay until the 3rd year so they haven't paid anything, second it's basically a franchise fee. When any league around the world expands or a franchise wants to move they have to pay a fee, the FL have just set a franchise fee of £1m that any club...

If it was discussed directly with SISU Fisher would just say no and we'd never hear about it, this way its i the public domain which applies pressure to the FL as they have been saying playing at NTFC is being allowed only because there is no other option.

Looking at their local paper site there does seem to be a lot more resistance to it than when it was first announced. The police don't seem happy, local residents are complaining and I've seen at least one NTFC sponsor who has said they are withdrawing as a result of this.

not sure how much revenue they'll get from NTFC, all their F&B is outsourced and Cardoza has stated they will be dealing with the extra matches and getting the money from that. He's also said that NTFC will be getting a cut of everything else. Given we're looking at a 75% or more reduction in...

Turns out Sydney Sky Blues are going to be in Europe for 3 weeks, think it would get a decent amount of press to have them play at the Rioch, game against a legends team would get a decent turnout. http://www.footballaustralia.com.au/news-display/sydney-fc-to-embark-on-european-tour/70549

Good point, SISU are claiming holdings is the club so what's stopping them making all these signings they supposedly have lined up?

Pompey fell below the minimum squad size as they refused to even put their kids on the bench, we've going to have a problem if we're trying to use that rule as the league will count the 'bomb squad' as eligible senior players.

they have to be, despite SISU claiming there is nowhere for CCFC to play as far as I know a lease still exists saying CCFC will be playing at the Ricoh. Can you imagine if SISU suddenly said we want to play at the Ricoh but ACL said sorry it's not ready.

might be another company worth emailing and see what a bit of pressure does. Noticed on the Northants Chronicle site one of their advertisers saying they were pulling out as they don't agree with the ground share.

isn't the idea that it's being done early so people will be back in time for a second protest at the game in the afternoon?
