Politely mate, you'll need to do your own research on this cos I've a bit to do today - but go back to the original council meeting where they voted whether or not to get involved on the Ricoh build. That's where I remember the £30 million from, happy to be corrected if you can find different...

Who did pay for it? Who owns the land now? The club put in two million out of £115 milion. The council put in £10m to start with and had to guarantee around £30m at the start point, as I recall. They're currently on the hook for around £24m. The Council may not have funded the entire...

Let's just get a couple of things clear here. Any claim that the Council somehow did the club out of money when the Ricoh was built is ridiculous. The club never owned the land on which the Ricoh was built - just an option to buy which they could not take up. The Council and The Higgs Trust...

Well in mid-2012, when Fisher signed off the books, pretty much everything relating to the club was in CCFC Ltd. We're yet to see what's in there now, which is why the Administrator is really the key player at the moment. And yes, if it came to it and it saved the club money or gave it a better...

They've met the Administrator. That's the person currently running CCFC Ltd.

I think there's a certain advantage to having an Administrator of your own choosing, even if he is constrained by law in how he is supposed to act. I think the proof of this is in the way that SISU jumped in at the last minute to place the club into admin themselves, rather than to allow ACL to...

There's some great stuff on this forum, and some people on both sides of ACL/SISU debate who make excellent points. The playground name-calling stuff though, I don't get that. Anyhow, for me, sorry PWKH, but I think this was a bit daft. I don't doubt that there's no love lost between the...

I think PWKH's post explains that. The invoice can only follow an agreement with CCFC Holdings. Higgs centre has written to SISU asking to sort those agreements out, via a solicitor, twice, and are yet to have a reply. Seems clear enough to me.

I think I'm with OSB on this. It's a PR stunt in part designed to draw attention away from the fact that SISU have abandoned the appeal against admin. In effect admitting that the golden share was never in Holdings, imho. Also, by naming an individual Council officer rather than the board of...

I still don't get all of the sniping at the trust. If you don't like what they're doing then I'd say you've got three basic options: Don't join (and criticise from the sidelines) Set up an alternative (and prepare to be criticised!) Join, and change things using the democratic structures...

Must admit that the constant negativity of some of the fans around us grinds me down sometimes. For all that though, I thought the young lad, Haynes, got a lot of encouragement today. It was really good to see, and gave me a bit of hope for the future,. Lads coming through the academy is the...

It's a worrying development. If I recall correctly didn't SISU also stop paying the rent on the academy for a period last year? I suspect that this would be down to the Administrator - if so this is starting to make a mockery of his promise to be open to the fans, in my opinion. Having said...

I like it. I like it lots. This really did make me LOL. Cheers. :)

In fairness those mobile phone contracts are an outrage. I think the best solution is to not pay anything for nine months, and then when challenged with court action threaten to set up your own mobile phone company. That'll teach 'em. ;)

Forgive me for jumping on OSB's toes, but this is a Memorandum & Articles of Association - normally what you establish when first setting up a limited company, in basic terms explaining what the Company is going to do. This looks like an alteration or addition to the original articles, which...

In which case I'd expect people like Linnell to be quite clear on it, rather than presenting opinion as fact. Which is where I came in. :)

The 'club' isn't necessarily the parent company though, is it? That again is a disputed matter, which will need to be settled by the Administrator. If he wants to say CCFC Holdings isn't for sale, then that's what he should say - though again it would be nice to know whether that's a fact or...

I'm a little confused at the negativity surrounding the Trust, both on here and from Stuart Linnell. If the trust can get a few thousand members, and only a thousand of them are willing to pledge a few hundred quid, that's still a substantial amount of money. Indeed, it's the sort of cash that...

Do they? Not the ones that I've worked for. In my experience they'll do do everything legally possible to recover debts from individuals or corporations.

Exactly that. The process started with the Statutory Demand from ACL to CCFC Ltd, which was for all of the debt, and those figures are the ones that are carried on to the court for the Third-Party Debt Order and ultimately application for Administration. The negotiated settlement that SISU...
