Willy Wonka knows where the Golden Share is, but can the Men in Black find it...................???
You need the golden share, the player registrations just for starters.
IF the golden share lies with CCFC Ltd and it is sold out of admin to Mr Haskell then he will have licence to play CCFC Ltd (The Sky Blues) as we know it in the league. SISU would be left holding the Training Ground and whatever else is in the Holdings Company and the players registrations.
I suspect those registrations would get revoked by the league as they do not have a Football Club attached to them? But there is nothing stopping Holdings from applying for such golden share either is there?
Haskell would need to invest in a whole new team and lay that before the league well before any deadline day for acceptance and seek approval. They would need a deal for a stadium etc etc.
Far from easy. Do you think SISU can be bamboozled out of the way quite so easily with the rug pulled from under them?
A lot will depend on what exactly CCFC LTD is now.
Haskell is not even in talks with SISU to look for an exit strategy for them so can't see SISU making their lives easy and simply stepping aside.
I think while admirable from the Haskell camp it only serves to pressure SISU's moves next. If the outcome was that a football club was based solely on the golden share issue and that rest in CCFC LTD then any number of new investors could be on the seen with such offers as 50% share in ACL or even beyond that. It does not have to be the Elliott/Hoffman bid which is sounding unclear like the last time Hoffman got involved.
I'd personally like to see new investors without connection to old regimes at all. IF the club is separated out from under SISU and stadium offers are forthcoming from ACL/Council then lets see what surfaces then.
I feel Hoffman/Elliott are grabbing at straws in the hope of lining their own pockets with additional opportunities such as land development (Haskell is a developer) all in the popular name of genuine sky blue support?
Let their be clear an open ideas put forward by ACL and the council as to what is available before we agree or get excited about any investors and then see who tenders their plans?
Oh and where does the agreed 50% of ACL shares at a set price lie? Is that with the Holdings company? That option is still with SISU is it not? Sooner or later these sides can't just ignore SISU and need to talk.

That exclusive deal has not expired has it?Confusing Pax.
So its Elliott + Hoffman out to line their own pockets??
The right to buy the Higgs share in ACL is not exclusively available to the Club ,anyone who wants to buy it can if they meet Higgs valuation.
The only privelidge the Club had from Higgs was that for a set period it was able to buy that share at a set value.
That exclusive deal has not expired has it?
As were crossing over on two threads ,the 2yr thing does seem irrelevent as higgs will possibly part with their share to the right party at an attractive rate .The need to purchase the whole thing has been proven to not be entirely necessary for the club to benfit from significant revenue ,without the Expenditure of outright purchase ,so Haskell may not need to spend a vast amount .Mind you, it is not really an issue, as anyone coming in will wish to buy the whole lot and as far as I can see CCC seem reluctant to sell to anybody.

It is clear to me, and no doubt others, that the only way forward for CCFC is to have the club AND stadium in the same ownership.Just one more thought...
mr Haskell is not going to be flying in from Texas every five minutes to attend games with Elliott and Hoffman with the end game being a football club that may be up for grabs on the cheap from an administrator is he?
Lets be realistic. ACL all along wanted to get the football club into admin to try and make a controlled attempt at reselling the club to new investors so they could achieve a stable situation from the one they have with SISU. To do that (they whispered such many times) they would have been in talks with prospective purchasers to get a tentative way forward. So you can assume that's where Elliott and his cronies come in.
They are still perusing that option but please remember they can't make the administrator favour anyone. What simply must be keeping Mr Haskell's interest alive is the additional investment in the development projects around the Ricoh and getting hold of that. The council would like to see this as part of the whole Ricoh project quite clearly which includes an anchor tenant. Hmm...so that suggest Haskell's interest not genuinely of the football club that would come as a consequence? Take away the development opportunities and it's bye bye Haskell.
Is that really the right way forward for the council? can the football club merely survive on gaining the shares in the Higgs stake? That will make little difference to what we have now. The council must make the stadium available on much better sustainable terms for the football club than that. I feel if they make this clear then there will be a much wider net of available investors with out lumbering the club by associating the development with it.
IF the golden share is with CCFC Ltd, I would imagine that SISU would be the ones who could afford to pay the most to buy CCFC Ltd simply because the majority of the money they bid will go back to them as the only creditor!?!.
I heard the Balckburn fan as well, said he would take a relegation to league 1 to get rid of the venky's. I realise there not good owners but the club spent 8 million on Rhodes, 2 million on Best. Kept some good players in Dunn, Dann, Robinson. Got David Bentley on loan, one of the most experienced players out there in Danny MurphyMyself, I think the football league will take a view.
If the fans are clearly against something they will be wise not to ignore them.
Look at Blackburn at the moment, I heard one of their fans on radio earlier saying that many fans believe Venkey's are simply asset stripping the club & will bail out when they've got the parachute payments.

That squad should be challenging for auto promotion, after sticking with Kean for ages they seem to be hiring and firing managers every week
