Didn't fisher say that a few weeks ago?Who ? Are we saying that ACL are in the wrong here.
The current company house accounts only file up to June
How do we know that if SISU do not pay then the Ricoh will be repoed by the bank abd ACL will go into admin themselves waiting for a buyer ? Maybe SISU ?

Fook me we can afford McG
The club should be offered the chance to buy the lot at effectively cost price because without them it's worth nothing.
Why should the club be offered effectively a free gift (which "cost price" would be without allowing ACL to make some profit on it. I'm sure they haven't nearly paid off the outlay that CCC made when they had to step into pump millions of taxpayers money into the stadium funding gap. Without them, we would be homeless.
Or is the council obliged to pay for us to have a new ground, or allow us to use theirs at a peppercorn rent?
I can't think of anything more frightening for the future of CCFC than if we own the ground whilst SISU have a controlling stake in the club.

ACL are fecked with or without CCFC
ACL can't work it without them. We are not homeless so who gives a stuff about the past.
Even though they're making nearly 500k profit a year with us?

I agree with the first sentence 100% Grendel. But it's quite glib to say "who gives a stuff about the past" when ACL/CCC essentially need to cover the millions that CCC ploughed into the Ricoh in the first place.
This reminds me of Saddam Hussein's attitude towards Kuwait in 1990. They had loaned him billions to fund his war against Iran, then they made the mistake of asking for it back. His attitude was essentially "let's forget the past, let's stop bickering over number and call it quits, just move on" - Kuwait's attitude was "no, because you owe us $500bn" - Saddam's response...invade Kuwait.
There, I said it...SISU's tactics are equivilant to Saddam Hussein invading Kuwait!
Yes that's a distinct possibility.
So says one of two things - AcL are rubbish or the Ricoh cannot exist without the football club paying a ridiculous rent to prop up an incompetent business.

I'm bored with it to be honest.

Well I don't think they are gassing anyone.
The club should always have been able to purchase the ground for the mortgage value as they are the only reason it will ever work. You admit this
Other councils have rolled over. I have always said that the current arrangement destroys the club. I'm not saying sisu ate the answer but if the outcome is that ACL are bought down and the council ate forced to surrender the share I have no sympathy and it will be to the clubs benefit. That's all I care about.
Yes i'm tired and bored of this but Grendel you do talk some bollocks at times
So according to some ACL make a massive proft that is why they can afford to increase exhibition areas and increase the hotel size etc and still make 500, 000 profit after paying for these improvements of the facility.
Maybe they decide to stop the investment in the stadium to cover the CCFC loss of income
You can't have it both ways
What the hell is a hang grenade? Is it like a hand grenade that hangs from the ceiling like a christmas decoration?
ACL will of wind us up as that is a suicide note that is my point. They don't make any profit without the club it's an average venue in a tin pot town near the NEC who have vastly superior facilities.
Please somebody explain I really can't be bothered:facepalm:
But as I have said ACL have invested several million pounds in improvements to the stadium and would obviously make a larger profit without investing more on infratucture, so they don't desperatley need CCFC.
It is the council that are desperate because if ACL they issue the winding up order they are worried about bad press/ votes
Logically business wise I would say wind us up ..........but obviously that is not what anyone of us wants
