That sums up my thoughts,also do sisu now move out again, negotiate,wait for kings takeover.All sorts of scenarios there in the meantime the staff,players and us fans have to deal with the fallout.Hate all this off field shit.
Eviction notice (4 Viewers)
- Thread starter jordan210
- Start date
No one is applauding that possibility, it’s just let’s face it our current owners have form for being a bunch of lying cunts. I’d just like to know the truth because I’m not sure those statements are clear enough.
Surely SISU knew they would have to sign a new lease with the new owners. Surely everything gone before is null and void.
I cannot believe the council did not get in place a covenant of sorts on the sale of the new lease to protect CCFC but then we know what a shambles those morons are too.

they'll be played at the current stadium, we have no interest in moving and they have not interest in evicting us
That ordinarily makes sense but this is Cov City

This remind sme of the final scene in Zulu , where Michael Cane is shouting at the Zulus " what are you waiting for , COME ON !!!! " and the South African Boer says " Haven't you had enough, It's over were dead "
City fans to sisu
So, if we break out in a rousing rendition of "Men of Harlech", it'll all be fine???

They had a choice and the power to.
As freeholders they could have seen the sublease transferred "as is"
Looks like they chose not to

But it's not a sublease, apparently, it's a license. If we'd all noticed that earlier, it seems we'd have all been having very different conversations!

Whatever it is, the council had the power to ensure it was transferred....

Did they? I don't know the answer to that, I suspect you don't either as you're confusing sub-lease and license...

Yeah, but at least it seems the frothing at the mouth has subsided mostly now…

The designs on owning it are no reason not to have signed the deal, it's amateurish to put your eggs in one basket like that

They could have called in headlease for WASPs default

They couldn’t force SISU to sign the “mirrored” arrangement at gunpoint though. If SISU did decline that opportunity it’s on them.

And then it turns out that we'd have had nowhere to play anyway, until the mess that made was sorted out (You'd hope that could be done quickly, but I suspect otherwise!), and the poor bondholders would have lost more cash, and the local authority would undoubtedly have had to engage in more court cases, with the need to set aside precious funds during a cost of living crisis.
Not sure that'd have played well.

Could they? Word at the time was it wasn’t until ACL went into admin that they could and even that would open them up to legal action from the bondholders.

The worrying thing is if he was even entertained as a prospective owner, then we really are financially in the shit.

Did the club ever confirm if the exclusivity deal was real? IIRC their statement didn’t deny it, just said they didn’t break it.

How long was this "mirrored arrangement" for? Guessing it was just until the end of the season?
Also as someone else put it... how can you sign something from somebody that doesn't yet own any lease??

Our former slum landlords soon dropped their ‘Think about the potential job losses’ attitude soon enough…

No they didn't. And tbf to the club / SISU(!) despite my flippant comment earlier, most things have been done behind closed doors until others have broken cover recently.
I mean, I wouldn't put it past Storey to have decided he'd been in an exclusivity period just by sending an email saying he wanted to buy us!

Out of interest, has the current shitshow modified your enthusiasm for him as prospective owner...?

Gilbert has said he’s seen documentation and confirmed from other sources that there was a £30m offer due to be completed by Nov 7th. It sounds a lot like they took him seriously. And Joy does have previous for treating nutters like serious people.
They were in default the moment they did not pay the debt, they then defaulted again by not paying interest and again when they gave the NOI

When haven’t we been? I think it’s more a statement of SISU’s professionalism if they really did entertain Storey as a serious contender. Surely any half arsed due diligence on Storey would have dismissed him at the first instance, if they really did give him an exclusivity period they need their heads testing.

Its Richard Heneghan, he’s spent the last few years complaining about bus lanes in the Observer and on Twitter. He’s a well known local weirdo.
