I've seen a number of posts tonight about £60m in debt. I've not looked into things as much as others on here in terms of figures so I might have missed something but I've been thinking. How can we be in debt to the tune of £60m.
Who do we owe money to? Obviously we've not paid rent which is approx £1.3m. That's debt.
If the £60m is what people think is owed to SISU, aren't they our owners? Isn't that investment? They gambled and lost (for whatever reasons). Hasn't Ambromovic ploughed £1bn into Chelsea (included real estate developments around the Bridge)? This doesn't mean they're up to £1bn in debt.
I might be naive on this, but I think our debt is £1.3m approx. Happy for the number crunchers to enlighten me if I'm wrong or missed something.
Also, surely the Sisu money is in CCFCH, not CCFC Ltd. As the only creditor if CCFC Ltd is ACL, does that not mean they can now make it difficult for Sisu to get their hands on the league share?

I think SISU have 'invested' money in CCFC by loans from their other companies. It therefore appears as debt on the CCFC balance sheet. In reality they won't get much of it back...

Firstly,let me say I have little working knowledge of the world of Hugh finance but I can smell bullshit a mile off. As I said the other day, this is creative accounting: management fees, arranging money transfers, paying interest to those who invest in creative ways such as shares, debentures .... Basically the crooked world of high finance invents a web of jargon words to confuse the layman and hide their skulduggery. SISU clients are high risk investors who gambled and lost. Tough. They will try to claw back what they can but the sooner we see the back of these (alleged) crooks and start again, the better.
To me and at a guess, the money owed is to outside investors who have given the money to CCFC Holdings Ltd, not SISU and SISU if you like are just the share brokers. The investors have invested in CCFC Holdings Ltd and therefore it's the investors who we don't know are the bigger creditors through SISU. If these investors or investor decides to stop propping up the club which seems to be near or at that point, then a sale or administration to claw back any money would seem the likely outcome. A guess as I said.
