Ridiculous. Where's the genuine public interest in imprisonment for letting off a firework in the open air?

Yes, there was an administration which produced a CVA, Otium purchased the assets of CCFC Ltd which was subsequently liquidated.

Yes it was in the end but the key is that the Golden Share was transferred to Otium Entertainment Group, following a CVA with CCFC Ltd's creditors (of whom SISU were the majority). I think the rules have changed a bit now so not sure if whoever you're talking about is applying current rules...

Indeed, I think the Tories were never a fan of the council shareholding in ACL

Not sure about that, United's year on year turnover and profit grew even when they weren't in the Champions League (EBITDA up to £191.9m at 30 June 2016 from £120.3m at 30 June 2015). Agree that being in the Champions League is important for them, but they are so big that it's less of an issue...

Or without a structural survey considering the subsidence rumours

Indeed. If I didn't know better I would think Eastwood and Fisher are the same person

Shame as both of them have got hearts that belie their diminutive stature.

The worst ones are the converts.

They signed contracts some months ago, possibly before the issues over the bond etc became public. How long is it since they dropped the AHC project?

It'd be like Mark Robins responding to a story about SISU

Indeed, thanks

Who is going to take on those retail bonds though? Unless somebody could agree an early settlement with the bondholders?

I follow the Secret Barrister, just started his / her book as it happens. He / she really is an excellent contributor.
