A mortgage is a loan secured in the property. ACL have a loan of some £15m that you can classify as a mortgage. Have ACL by taking the loan shown sign of financial mismanagement?

Speculate to accumulate ... or spend ridiculous amount on hope, dream and if only. I wonder how much Leicester club owner have spent over the past few seasons. Surely they have done enough to secure promotion if money is the most important factor. Hired a reputed international manager. Drafted...

I don't think we will know anytime soon - hopefully before start of next season, but even that may be wishful thinking.

Yes, we need fresh money. But if a new owner does not make sure the club can generate enough income to cover the expenses ... or keep lowering the expenses until they are lower than the income - then the club will not be sustainable long term. So any new owner will have to continue in the same...

That is a very relevant question. Look at it this way - the investors have spend their money and on paper all is lost. But as long as they don't put in more money, they have nothing to lose by waiting. So long the club is in operation the loans - remember the investment is in form of loans -...

He's on Cayman searching for the Golden Share ...

I don't think there are anybody on this forum who are employed by sisu. There may according to Nick be a few employed by the club. That's not the same. Sisu are managing the money from the investors. If the club requires more funding Fisher turn to sisu and ask for money. Sisu turn to the...

For sisu to be actual owners requires they hold the shares. They don't. The shares sits mainly in different funds managed by sisu. So in reality sisu act on behalf of the owners - the funds.

Most people think sisu themselves were hands on and at the helm from day one. That is not how fund managers work - they employ professionals. For the first three years it was Ranson/Elliott and Hoffman who ran the show. They wrote the strategy, made the budgets, spend the money - all of course...

Except the board who are employed by the investors.

Yes they have employed a PR firm - just proving my point that they are scared by direct interaction. It's utterly old fashion - so last century - and not even very effective when you try to influence solely through medias like papers and television where editors often have the final say in how...

Sisu are bankers and hedge funds are very private. Add they have no experience with football clubs and fans. They could have a 'plant' here, but I seriously doubt it as they would not be able to control this person entirely due to the rapid response rate required on a forum. And using a plant...

And this is the reason they are losing (or have lost) the PR war. They should have embraced the opportunity to address the fans on this - or other - forum, but I think they are frightened by the direct and close contact. Len Brody would have done it, but surely was told to back down. I hope they...

Well, all the fuss about the golden share being in either Holding or Ltd suggests someone really messed up their original plan. It could seem their plan, when they realized ACL were not going to write off the rent debt, was to isolate the debt in Ltd and get rid of it through liquidizing that...

Godiva is also the brand of some of the finest chocolate in the world.

Well, if the club gets new owners - which I hope, providing that includes merging ACL into the club - then what will you call me when I keep on posting my opinions?

I think the original agreement was with the company now in administration and therefore no longer valid.

I have put myself on probation posting on football matters as I found I was pretty much always criticizing McSheffrey. When he retires I will post again. Oh, and I didn't 'say' you hadn't read it - just asked if you had.

Really - are you reading the statement or just second guessing what is in it? Take this statement along with the Higgs statement and it looks like - the club simply want a three month deal to make sure the academy is operating until the end of the season - even if the club will have to pay...

Club and stadium should be under the same umbrella whoever the owner. I am ready to accept anyone who can achieve that - If that is Hoffman/Elliott then so be it. They messed up royally the last time around, but I will be happy to give them a second chance if they can start out with uniting the...
