TF could go quite far down the line with this without being too much out of pocket couldn't he? Could buy the land with no intention of ever building a stadium, so long as he doesn't pay over the odds can be sold on later and get that money back. sure you can buy plans for a stadium 'off the...

Wouldn't read too much into this. Doesn't seem like there's much substance past the other 2 sites saying SISU hadn't bid and the guy selling Brandon saying he wouldn't say who the bidders are, not really much to go on!

If the money is still showing as owed to AVRO or whatever other fund it came from then strictly speaking has any money actually been lost? If I owed the bank 100K on my mortgage the bank hasn't lost that much, I just haven't paid it yet!

Wonder if he'll do a signing at the club wheelbarrow :p

With Portsmouth the former owner was actually someone who had loaded the club, under a previous owner, money and had ended up taking ownership when there was a default on the loan. The big issue was that there was a charge over the ground (similar to the Arvo charge I guess) and the...

The only way this will move quickly is if someone offers SISU an amount they are happy to accept to walk away. You still then have the issue of the incoming owner agreeing terms with ACL or making a deal with the council to buy the stadium, although those could be put on the back burner and a 1...

the rugby semi finals were during the season a couple of years back weren't they? Also most pitches are relayed over the summer so having events during the close season will also impact on the groundsman's work.

If ACL didn't previously have their own groundstaff who prepared the pitch for things like the olympics and rugby games? that wouldn't be down to CCFC as it's nothing to do with them.

does this actually make things any clearer moving forward? it doesn't resolve the issue that holdings are staking a claim to the share does it or am I misreading it. what we need is the FL to say what they intend to do with the share, make a statement that says whoever purchases ltd will be...

or -20 if they apply the same rules they applied to Luton, Bournemouth and Rotherham both got -17. Doesn't seem to be much consistency.

Sure SISU will try and take control of Ltd out of administration but I don't think you can read too much into Appleton having emailed him to say the deadline had changed. They are after all the biggest creditor and most recent owner, I would expect the administrator to be keeping SISU up to date...

that will be FL rules as opposed to the legal process of administration. Wasn't aware that we would get another 10 points if we start the season in admin. We're looking at 10 - 20 points off if we come out of admin without a CVA and you are correct you can't start 2 consecutive seasons in...

Fair play to Tim if he's invited the protesters in. Strikes me he's in a similar position to many middle managers, he's got bosses who are preventing him doing him doing the job effectively but he's the one getting all the flack from everyone. Could be an interesting interview on CWR if he ever...

whats the source on this? can't see mention of it anywhere but here. wouldn't surprise me, in fact I don't think anything would surprise me anymore!

this happens with pretty much any administration. There are rules and regulations about when you have to report certain things so you get meetings like yesterday that are held so that things are done in accordance with the rules but just keep getting pushed back. There is a rule that you can't...

well I suppsoe someone has to get the pitch ready for this summers Olympics :)

They may have every reason not to want to deal with SISU but if there's a chance that SISU will end up back in control and ACL won't talk to them that's not "doors are open".

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...
