Michael Byng ends up buying Cal O’Hare for £10m

Would it? Does “lease revert to council” mean its cancelled or it literally just moves ownership to the council with sub leases intact?

Yes

Suspect it’s also so Council any claim to have not had a bid from Sisu. Don’t know why he’d have inside info on Ashley’s bid falling through though.

“A spicy hash of folk, alt-pop, and rock and roll... wisecracking bite and musical ingenuity.” According to the Houston Press

Well current options are Reeves has gone literally insane. Or there’s more to this than has been explained so far. Either way should make his interview interesting. Do we know when it is?

Would you get Reece Charles-Cook back? All time clean sheets in a row record holder…

But didn’t the story say it was just to buy time for a bidder? I swear that’s what Gilbert said this morning. Actually buying the arena and Wasps would at least make some financial sense (not a lot but more than delaying the inevitable). There’s some key info missing here, as what’s come out...

“differently” is certainly one word for how he distributes 😂 I’m not having a go, just saying how that stat hides a lot of nuance.

Literally no idea. I suspect we’ll find out it wasn’t as simple as throwing £30m away. My best guess is short term finance they’d expect to recoup, but even then it makes no sense at all.

For £60m!? By the looks of it that would get you the whole lot forget preferred bidder.

Depends what they think the knock on effects of liquidation are. What would happen to the other leases, would they be starting another costly legal battle with Sisu, etc. I get the impression they don’t want to be in that situation again.

I don’t get that at all. Need to hear more cos at the moment it sounds like £60m for literally no return. Forgetting the council, why would this Hottinger group do that?

Rumours were NEC, the only other bidder, was outbid, so less you’d expect?

I think no one wanted ACL to get liquidated. Wasps for obvious reasons, the council cos it’ll start a whole ball ache again. And that’s been their priority.

Thats the infamous Michael Byng of inability to send an email to take over the club fame. Rumoured to be Sisus go between, but seems to be doing his business in the media.

Yep. Basically because we’ve restricted teams to long shots mostly he’s faced not many and most have been the sort you’d expect to save. As @Frostie often points out there’s a better stat that reflects the quality of shots faced, dunno if he’s got that handy for Wilson. I’d expect he looks a lot...

He first got involved offering to refinance the bond didn’t he? He’s shown more interest in Wasps than CCFC from what I can see.

IIRC their manager has basically told them to go out and try to win every game and doesn’t believe in playing for a draw.

I just can’t believe someone suggested the council putting that level of cash in and was told to crack on. At best I can see a “go see what you can do” conversation and Reeves has gone off on one. Other possibilities: it was a short term loan until a buyer was found, but again why? Just...
