he's hardly going to come out and say don't give it to Carsley he hasn't got a clue what he's doing!

I believe ACL would have a big struggle on it's hands were CCFC to leave. Whatever you think about the club chances of them getting a new tenant that's as high profile is very remote and that will impact on naming rights, sponsorship etc. And of course whoever comes in will be agreeing rent from...

just a thought, when ACL say how much of the arrears they expect to be paid off as part of the agreement do they count in the escow money? So say it's £1.5m in arrears is that before or after the £500K?

which is exactly why somebody independent is required to come in with access to the figures on both sides.

the change was only made because there were murmurs that Yorkshire Bank were going to step in, it wasn't a case of ACL just deciding they wanted a different loan provider. To all intents and purposes it was a bail out, if there weren't any concerns the change wouldn't have been made.

To be honest I can't really argue too much with anything he's said. Mediation is clearly the way forward, can't see anything else that will resolve things and if ACL won't agree to it you have to wonder why.

Spot on as usual OSB. Think this too often gets overlooked. SISU would never have been interested in running a football club, they were sold an investment opportunity by Ranson. My guess would be it went wrong when Ranson went over budget. Ranson kept on about getting 30K a week to break...

Think you're missing my point. What I'm saying is the council don't appear willing to accept a fair price - they want to make a substantial profit. It's easy for them to say they would be prepared to sell but if they won't accept a realistic price that to me is the same as refusing to sell. That...

I think this is the problem, the council want a lot more out then they ever put in. The council appear to have put, prior to the bailout of ACL, around £10m of their own with the rest coming from Tesco, grants etc. Can't see them selling it to anyone else for that, even if the ACL loan was paid...

I'm not sure ownership of the stadium is an option for any potential purchaser. The council, and possibly Higgs, seem to want a lot more out than they ever put in.

not sure they would be able to that legally, if you want to evict someone from a house you own there's a legal process you have to go through, would assume it would be the same in this instance.

Edge has made a couple of strange tweets, hopefully it's just not coming out right as English isn't his first language but yesterday he put 'In need to go back home' and today he put 'one week from today'. fingers crossed it's nothing but not many things would surprise me at the moment. This...

To be fair all SISU have suggested is a sports specialist and given Deloittes as an example and to be honest they don't strike me as an unknown company who SISU could manipulate. For me this is exactly what needs to happen, bring in a specialist to look at everything independently of all the...

What sort of statement did you expect them to make, the council, ACL and Higgs have all been putting the boot into SISU for the last couple of days why wouldn't they take a shot back? The chap who posts on here from Higgs was interview by the Free Radio today and said independent arbitration...

Didn't he say a net rent of 150k, so instead of rent of 150k with CCFC having access to the income streams it's actually a rent of 400k with access to income streams. You also have to question why if ACL think 150k is a fair rent they are insisting on over £1m in arrears. Works out a lot more...

Think the problem lies more around the arrears. SISU will want any change backdated, ACL seem to want the majority of the arrears paid. Also one of the CT articles says rent of £400K while in Div 1, implying it will go up again if we ever get promotion but that hasn't been mentioned elsewhere so...

My point being if you've put £50m into a project and you can see no possible way of getting any return in the future what do you do. It's not like we're breaking even and they can just tread water hoping something comes up, they have to sink several million in every year. At some point surely...

Spot on Moff, doesn't matter who the owners are or the level of dislike for them to me CCFC always come ahead of the council. You compare our council with the local council here in Portmouth. They are lining up a loan of around £3m to allow Pompey to buy Fratton Park, they've justified it with...

There has to be a very real danger of reaching a point where SISU decides there's no way they will ever get a deal their happy with or be able to sell the club / recover any of their money and just walk away. Have the council got any plan for that eventuallity or are they happy for the club to...

Mutton seemed to forget to mention not backdating any agreement and wanting SISU to stump up a million in arrears. Didn't an offer of £400K rent get turned down before? Why would they accept it now if they didn't before? I'm not a big fan of SISU but I think there's far too many people who have...
