not saying this is the problem for SISU but if CCFC is liquidated then a liquidators duty to investigate and powers are far greater than an administrator, I assume also that any embargo etc would remain until such time as the actual liquidation occurs and the company struck off. That could all take some time whether something found or not.

Would also be a problem in theory about the ground share which FL said is dependant on CCFC Ltd successfully coming out of administration by a CVA (unless they use their FL discretion again)

ACL asked FL if they would broker talks on Monday at their meeting. ACL placed no conditions on the talks
JS was contacted Tuesday, needed time to think
JS replied mid day Wednesday said no not unless ACL signed the CVA first
Offer remains on table but will be reviewed after ACL see what happens at the CVA meeting 22/07

In ACL's opinion the ability to hold talks and the CVA are not linked. Whatever happens with CVA the assets of the club are presently in CCFC H and they are operating the Club. If CCFC Ltd liquidated the club would still be there

ACL want CCFC at the Ricoh

Question - why is the signing of the CVA so important ?

ask the council? they are also stopping the meeting going ahead

both sides r complete dicks

was a one off appointment for the Alan Higgs Trust which owns the Higgs Centre - I attended the first creditors meeting for them and was not paid in any way shape or form. Appointed because of my posts here. The appointment was for that meeting only and ceased the same day. There are no other appointments before or since relating to any of the parties or individuals involved

Where did you hear that?

On a side note who appoints the liquidator should it get to that is it the court or self appointed like Appleton?

Why is Septic refusing to meet round the table for talks? Or at least until the CVA is signed off. No delving into financial "Goings on" after it's signed, that's why! covcity4life, stop talking out of your arse mate, this is purely down to Septic, who is running scared now..allegedly!

Surely the CVA being signed would form an essential element of any talks NOT the precursor to them!

Without it what is ACL's bargaining chip?
Click to expand...

Sisu don't want it to be part of the negotiation. Without it ACL has nothing.

They can either say: Ok, we sign the CVA and show willingness to start a fresh, or they can refuse the CVA and say 'Goodbye and good riddance'.
If they don't sign, the club has definetely played the last game at the Ricoh.
If they sign, well then it's down to the rent for the next 3-4 years. If it's approximately the same overall cost as at sixfields I think we will play at the Ricoh. More expensive, we won't.

ACL must not be sign this cva. Once it is that kills dead any investigation into how this debt occurred. PWKH has just said on CWR that Joy Seppella has said she won't okay any joint meeting with ACL and the football league whilst this cva is unsigned, ask yourselves why. Ainsworth is putting pressure on from the Parliament angle and there is pressure from Companies House, our MEP and our two other MPs. have edms in too. SISU will have reasons to kill off any investigation into their affairs and if that cva is signed do you trust Seppalla, Fisher and co will honour any meeting or implement any proposal put to them. As for our continuing transfer embargo, under certain circumstances the FL will allow players to join, they did so last season at Portsmouth a number of times.

Why would there need to be an investigation into how the debt has occurred? OSB has done analysis after analysis and has already described where the figures come from.

An extra few hundred thousand pounds a year is more than offset by the extra money the Ricoh can get the club in ticketing income. SISU have perfectly manipulated the situation to make ACL look like deciders of the club's fate-let's not forget here that Walsall pay more than £400k to use the Bescot which is a vastly less adequate facility than the Ricoh but they did better than us last season.

Then again, this all assumes that SISU are actually complaining about the terms of any prospective lease and not trying to bust ACL.

I can't spend all day on this, but I don't think it's anything like that simple. And it sounds like you're trying to blame ACL here for SISU's failure to negotiate.

ACL: Let's talk, no strings attached.
SISU: No.

What's not clear about that?

If the CVA isn't signed, then a whole can of worms is opened in terms of investigations and what happens next, and I don't know if anyone can really see where that ends up. The fact that SISU are trying to bully ACL into signing it suggests something to me though.

Just a quick calculation for you Godiva:

Selling out at Sixfields 23 games a season: 23 x 7,500 x £15 (including STs at roughly £300)= £2.6m, less £100k rent= £2.5m

Average crowds at Ricoh for 23 games a season: 23 x 10,000 x £15= £3.5m, less £400k rent= £3.1m.

We will of course not get a full house at Northampton every single game of the season and so the difference will be magnified. We are taking a hit on our own finances to spite a stadium management company.

With respect who is OSB ? as I see it just a poster on here and in the main good interesting posts at that. Any investigation into how the debts stacked up will be done by people with power to act if dodgy dealings are unearthed. Joy Seppalla wants this all killed off, she has vetoed any meeting brokered by the FL while the cva is unsigned. She is top dog at sisu, what she says goes, she hasn't guaranteed a meeting and there certainly is no guarantee of accepting any proposal coming from any such meeting.The Football League must now re-look at th their decision

half full or half empty?
it could be said SISU have agreed to the talks under the FL if the CVA is signed.
It will cost ACL over half a million if they don't sign so they will probably sign it next week anyway.
they could sign it now and start negotiations a week earlier.

No he hasn't, he has analysed the publically available information which is out of date, clearly insufficient information to understand what was done.
No information has been published for the last few years which is where the more questionable activities occurred.

The only way to find out what happened is for full & unimpeded access to public & confidential company records, as there is a requirement to keep records for 7 years, I think we can guess how long SISU will try & hold on.

It's irrelevant to SISU though. The principle is that if they make a deal with ACL that is less favourable than what they wanted originally it's all been a waste of time.

If Holdings is to all intents and purposes the football club then negotiations could happen at any time. I'm genuinely confused as to how blurred the two entities have become.

Out of date information but nevertheless the only information available if the more recent accounts haven't been signed off.

They should be driven by what represents the better deal for the club and the numbers show it ain't Sixfields.

The other thing to say is that your crowds at the Ricoh are based on the premise that the NOPM campaign won't get off the ground.

Even if City are at the Ricoh, nobody is going with SISU in charge I've heard.

No, sisu are taking a financial hit.
I do not agree it is 'to spite ACL' - it's an investment in future profit from adding a stadium to the club.

This is true, however I think NOPM will cease if we secure a stay at the Ricoh which I think is all the campaign is focussed on.

So why not try to arrange to play at the Ricoh during the "three years" of stadium building, so taking avoiding the financial hit?

So you think that SISU should only pay the same rent at the Ricoh, as they're paying at Sixfields (a stadium less than a quarter of the size), despite the fact that average attendances at the Ricoh would be between 4k and 8k higher per match?

Very strange way to run a business.
