Also hearing that the council has issued a winding up order via twitter but would have thought that the admin protects against that.

I think it's very easy to explain don't you?

Only ARVO has been put into Admin and not the whole club...
Complicates things...
Not a surprise though

This is Sisu putting us into admin rather than the High Court at ACL's behest.
This means Sisu are now in control of the process.

How do ARVO have the ability to put CCFC into administration? Are they the owner? Where does the "charge"/"debenture" come in?

Well I think by putting themselves into administration, they have first refusal on buying back the club.
If ACL had done it, then SISU would have had to wave their right to their stipulation as it would be ACL who had the deciding vote.
Now SISU have the deciding vote on whether they rebuy or let someone else take it over.
They effectively owe the money to themselves (Arvo being an arm of the hedge fund) so they will be debters to themselves.
Anyone who wants to buy the club, must go through ARVO and therefore through SISU, even though they are the ones who own CCFC and put them into admin.
I may be wrong though. Can anyone else shed light on this?

ARVO are an arm of SISU and ones who the "Debt" is owed too.
They've effectively done what ACL were doing, without the need to go through the high courts.
They've called in their own debts on one of their own struggling companies!

I appreciate all that - what I don't et is why ACL had to go through the courts, but ARVO didn't??

With the ten point deduction we will be on 50 points.
That puts us 12 puts ahead of 21st place which is currently occuped by Scunthorpe!
Unless we lose ALL of our remaining games, we will NOT be relegated.
A win against Porsmouth at the weekend (fingers crossed) and Scunthorpe losing would put us 15 points clear!
We'd have to win at least 4 of our remaining games but we'd definately be comfortable...
But it's not promotion and that will rankle with all of us I'm sure!
So they told all their staff not to worry, we have a plan to avoid adminstration tomorrow, their plan was to go in today instead, :jerkit: just more lies and misrepresentations from them.
This feels like the worst case scenario for ccfc from all of the options. ajornment meant chance of promotion, paying the debt and getting it called off would have been great, going into admin tomorrow had the greatest chance of a new buyer. This seems to be the worst case scenario, though maybe it reduces the chance of us coming out of admin without a cva which would be great.

To control the admin process as the biggest debtor.
A new company from the ARVO lot can be created and buy ccfc again through SISU.

theyd be better going through the courts surely

Because ACL is an outside company who have no physical ties to SISU apart from the fact they rent to stadium too CCFC.
ARVO are part of SISU and therefore an internal element within the hedgefund.
They don't need the courts approval in order to put their own assets into administration!
They might be seperate companies but they are owned by the same people so count as the same company!
Weird I know!

This bloke has just tweeted comments made from the club:

Anyone figure out what this means because I'm not sure if by threat they mean the 10 points or liquidation?

Could this be challenged in court?

The line was that they wouldn't be forced into administration, which is technically correct.

What sort of reception do they think they'll get come the next home game? How much bad PR can they stand?

Does that mean that we are technically Ok?

The situation has been bought about by the court case.
The council are responsible for this particular debacle.
As for SISU I assume they will get a standing ovation...what we all wanted, right?
RichieGunns

Yes I believe it can.
Considering they had a court date tomorrow, the courts could actually see this as an attempt to derail the justice system.
SISU are effectively spitting on whatever judgement the court would have made tomorrow, regardless of the outcome.
This actions says "We're better than ACL, we're better than this situation and we're better than the courts".
The courts could rule it was an illegal action brought on by desperation and therefore not valid.
With this ACL would get it there way, but it could complicate our situation meaning more points deductions (possibly next season)
