It's good to see that we're getting support from Aidy Bothroyd's ball boys. ;)

All things are possible, but I'd prefer to think that you just hold a different opinion. Me too fwiw. Maybe I'm a c-unit too. Bald too. It's all going against me I guess. ;)

I'm not his biggest fan, but I like what Bob's doing here. These are questions that should be answered before the FL ratifies any deal, not afterwards.

I'm sorry but I could turn that argument right on it's head. You hold Fisher and SISU in so much respect (in this regard, I'm not accusing you of being a SISU-apologist here) that you're completely ignoring the merits of the case. You've convinced yourself that they've done no wrong on the...

That is an excellent question. My thought is that he might have done it either because he's been told to do it, or was naive enough to do it, or thought that if he could sling enough mud about he might never be caught doing it, or simply had to do it to preserve SISU's hold on the company and...

Holdings & Limited are different legal entities. The law regarding asset stripping is specifically designed to stop the transfer of assets out of a company, leaving it with only liabilities. I'm not an accountant either, but I've run my own business, worked in banking, and I've some experience...

Think you're about spot on with most of this, imho. Interview was between 9:00 and 9:30. Pretty much that whole half-hour.

Actually, I'd differ. I think it's a risk well worth taking. As I recall there is the power to unwind transfers of assets that have taken place within three years, for companies that have gone into administration. Plus there's the possiblity that our directors conduct would make them unfit to...

Not quite the way I heard it torchy. If there's anything to take away from this, I think it's that it's not all over yet. But it doesn't sound like we should bank on much help from the FL, unless the path of least resistance that they seem determined to follow suddenly gets a bit harder...

PWKH came across well I thought. A few things that came out: If the CVA is voted through, then there's no further investigation into the goings on at CCFC Ltd. He was careful to couch his words, but in essence this was a reference to the assets that seem to have gone missing from CCFC Ltd...

So says a glorified forum troll.

Well the maths are a bit tricky, but I'd start off with the number of jobs and the tax that they pay. And then add the savings assuming at least a proportion of those might be claiming benefits instead. Plus any corporation tax, rent, and rates. And there's the more intangible money that...

OK, I'll confess. I've never really 'loved' the Ricoh, and I doubt I ever will. But I sure as hell prefer it to Northampton* *Or the Seppala-Fisher Brandon/Ryton/TreacleTown Megabowl (actual capacity, 8000), should it ever come to that. ;)

Entirely fair response this - I take your point. ACL should be monitored, and should not sit above criticism, however I do think it needs to be based on facts where possible. For what it's worth I did read your post as a "screw ACL, they've shafted us, I hope they die" missive, and that...

As above, other than the fact it's a team called United, playing in red, I wish them luck. But they could never replace CCFC. In truth I'd sooner follow Cov Sphinx or Nuneaton or Leamington, in the hope of watching them progress, than an entirely new team claiming to be the real Coventry City...

Erm... if all of the F & B contracts now reside in a company 77% owned by ACL, then it's a nailed-on certainty that it won't go legal. It would be like Otium taking SISU to court, never going to happen. As for RICOH pulling out, who knows. Would they really have a clause in the naming...

Yep, personally speaking I don't think our Judicial Review would relate to your situation. There are substantial doubts that SISU's JR will necessarily succeed in any case. If you were looking at this purely from in terms of self-interest (and you weren't overly concerned about the state of...

Absolutely. For what it's worth, as part of a community action I've had cause to discuss JRs with a real, actual solicitor with regard to planning permission and nuisance issues. He said, at a minimum, expect a five-figure biil (not £109.99 btw!) to get it to court. You could do the...

So you haven't got anything to support what you said then, other than your opinion. Fair enough.

TSB's evidence... No point in wasting any further time on this one.
