You are suggesting a consortium of a political council, a charity foundation and a business developer (some would say business destroyer) to operate a stadium and secure a football club?

@don... I don't buy into the conspiracy theory where sisu deliberately got us relegated. Staying in the championship would make it much easier to obtain their financial goals. They initiated the rent discussions way before relegation was certain. They stopped paying rent before relegation was...

I can't see why they would - they have worked very hard on getting to break-even since they took control and got rid of Ranson, Hoffman and Elliot. And I believe they are a lot closer to that goal than most think - at least cashflow wise. It should be possible to cover most, if not all, cashflow...

In theory they could make a profit from re-selling ACL, but it wouldn't cover the £40m+ they have invested. Maybe 10-15% or so, but that's about it (they have to take over the mortgage as well). So that would make absolutely no sense. In addition that would only create the same situation as is...

If ACL makes £500k profit per year - that profit would improve ccfc's result equaly. Add to that the possibilities the ACL says the Ricoh holds - although they have failed to exploit them yet - and a new professionel management with new ideas and new energy, then it may improve the ccfc's...

Remove ccfc from the Ricoh and ACL would lose a lot - directly and indirectly.

If the cost of running ACL and ccfc combined exceeds the total revenue the companies can earn combined, then there's too little money to keep both alive. One will probably have to fold - or be taken over by the other. I can't see ACL taking over ccfc. The offer ACL has made of a rent at £400k...

Oh shoot - I can't have any fun today :D

What the fans (who have no access to all information) think or support is totally irrelevant. If the club is out of money and can't afford the latest offer, then it doesn't matter one bit what people think. But I still think the biggest issue is the outstanding rent owed. They will have to...

WHAAAT???? Is this a trap? :D:D:D

Actually many shopping centers work like that. The shop owners pay a rent as a percentage of their turn over. Anyway, rent is no different from other commodities - the price is dictated by supply and demand. The facilities are only a part of the package and if not needed not really relevant -...

'Standards' ... that's plural ... like 'double' :D

Both ..... ;)

They're already on the phone with OSB :D

Not likely. But if you go scuba diving ....

I appreciate it was a summary ... If you had written the full text I wouldn't have hangovers, but suffer a severe stroke :D:D Anyway ... your therories makes me wonder what clientel you serve in your daily business. You sure seem to know a lot about tax avoidance, loop holes, distressing...

My point is - it wouldn't satisfy the £40mio+ loans. It is also an uncontrolled plan ... there are too many uncertain factors. And it wouldn't really give 'Joy and her team' anything. The funds would maybe regain a few milions, but not really enough.

Joy ... or sisu ... have not put in any money. She/they manage funds who have put in money. That is important. If sisu get hold of shares in ccfc for nothing, then I think they have all the time in the world. Fischer and Waggot are employed to do their footwork - it's not a huge time (or...

This morning I am pretty sorry you didn't drank half the bottle ... The scenario you propose is quite complicated and key elements is pretty uncertain. For instance - one key element is pushing ACL into administration and take it over for next to nothing. If ACL get to that point I would...

Ah, this wasn't actually a dig at you ... I wish you could have shared the bottle of Amarone 2003 I have enjoyed tonight. It maybe lifted my spirit a little more than usual. Anyway ... I have placed a few comments below.
