Fisher did agree a rent deal with ACL but Joy must have told him off so it didn't go ahead (I think this may have been about the time he told people that Joy was bonkers). Agree the rent, don't break the lease, and the likelihood anyone else would buy ACL (with the club's right to buy 50% still in place) is, in my view, zero.Attempted to agree rent deal at Ricoh with ACL = failed
Attempted to buy ACL = failed
Move to Northampton expecting 8k fans to follow = failed
Attempted to build new stadium = so far failed.
Attempted to agree long term rental with Wasps = failed.
Attempted to secure long term future of academy at Higgs centre = failed
Attempt to build new academy/training = so far failed.
Attempt to have the club as self sufficient = so far failed.
Attempt to get promotion = so far failed
Attempt to sue the council over the loan = so far failed.
Attempt to sue council over the sale to Wasps = in the pipeline
Attempt to do something at the Butts = failed
It really doesn't make great reading
I'm guessing they won't get anywhere near the Butts either and it was interesting if not a little disappointing to see that 'Cov' have some Wasps players in the team now and seem to be working together on player development............So failed again !
I think we can all guess which ?I thought Rugby JS said he didn't want his Rugby club to be "rattling around in a big bowl" - or something similar. He refered to Darlington who are ( or maybe were? ) doing just that. That was when CCFC were talking about 15000. So, I don't know where Tim dragged the 25000 figure for the Butts, which will be built within 3 years after the nasty CCC embargo has gone, from. Has Rugby JS changed his mind and now wants Cov Rugby playing in front of 1000+ fans in a 25000 arena? Or is Tim spewing bullshit?
I've been saying that for years.There is an excellent and to the point article in The London Economic describing the owners of our club as 'Clueless'.
Maybe they have meant to fail. And all in the name of not putting money in and getting damages off CCC.Attempted to agree rent deal at Ricoh with ACL = failed

So they've listened to the fans?The only difference now it seems that when talking about political embargo's the 25k bit is from the off as oppose to maybe one day.

That is a cunning plan, but unfortunately showing no possibility of being realised, as they seem incapable of winning any court ruling!Maybe they have meant to fail. And all in the name of not putting money in and getting damages off CCC.
Funnily enough I've done the sameI shall enjoy reading the responses to this... some of which I have predicted, written down and put in sealed envelopes with the names of expected contributors on them!
Only deductible against profit - something they've never made on this business venture, or are ever likely to.I'm guessing business-related legal fees are tax deductible so it's not a million to them.
Yeah, £700k I think it said. I imagine thats been carried forward to mitigate losses from the next financial year.aren't we in profit this year when you include player sales ?

I thought that loan has already been paid back?It will have been and I assume to pay the bridging loan for the budgeting farce under waggott.

I suspect the Accounts will show a loss as they have made a point of saying its a profit of £700k before interest. Last year the interest cost was £1.4m, I doubt it would reduce much, if at all.Yeah, £700k I think it said. I imagine thats been carried forward to mitigate losses from the next financial year.

That's before interest.
Whatdoes anyone have any anymore ?
That was a projection, if you chose to believe Fisher good luck to you.aren't we in profit this year when you include player sales ?
The point is that a million pounds invested in the team would have put a successful one on the pitch and in doing so increased crowds and so on. Before they went to Northampton Tim Fisher called me after I answered a questionnaire saying I wouldn't support it as it seemed they were holding the club hostage. In that call I suggested that a fairly modest investment would get us promoted (modest in comparison to what would be needed to go up further). He agreed and said he'd said the same to SISU. Instead there are cuts on cuts for the football side but an apparentlu unquenchable litigation budget.I have no doubt that SISU would like to have a successful team on the pitch. Their vision of the bigger picture is perhaps not aligned with what most fans want (/understand as realistic?)...had they succeeded in gaining the Ricoh at knockdown price CCFC would be in a better position (& hence SISU) - they are still pursuing their dreams! Hence the legal bills
...onwards & upwards PUSB
