Should ACL ask to know who SISU's investors are before any deal can even be talked about.
A bit like they did to Hoffmans group?

Think cllr mutton has already made that a pre-requsite.

Bennets Afro · May 23, 2012

Didnt he ask for proof of funds and not who the investors are?

wingy · May 23, 2012

Now you have me wavering.

Bennets Afro · May 23, 2012

Maybe it is a chance for the council to get full transparency of who owns our club

Wouldn't you just die if you found out it was Robinson, Richardson and McGinnity!!

It is not ACL that are selling. It is the Higgs Charity selling its shares in ACL.

Bennets Afro · May 23, 2012

Same thing. ACL includIng the council has the final say/ veto

Wrenstreetcarpark · May 23, 2012

Not the same thing. ACL is owned by Council and Higgs. Higgs wants to sell Council has veto. Council wants to sell Higgs has veto. ACL has no say.

Either way they should be asking who they are selling too and find out each and everyone of the investors

Don"t think they asked for anything from Hoffman's group as he never spoke to them and they don't exist.

i said exactly that a couple of weeks ago when they were back in the directors box. i thought they had been banned from their for a bit, then all of a sudden talk of new investors and they're back on the scene!!!!!

This pops up every now and again.
I think investors not holding more than 5% shares in any company have a right to stay annonymous, and I believe the rules comes from the financial world and has been adopted by the football world. To change this you would need to change the financial regulations - probably worldwide.
If you own more than 5% there will be a public accessible record.

Not quite so: the MP who asked questions in Parliament about SISU thinks that the "less than 5%" rule is grossly inappropriate to football. It isn't like most other businesses-every single supporter is a stakeholder. They deserve transparency.

It may be we think we 'deserve' to know who the investors are, but why should it be more inappropriate in football as to other businesses.
Did you know that many unions place money within the 5% rule in companies like BAE or Lockheed Martin who manufacture landmines?
They do so to maximize the profit of their members money, but in reality you and me are funding the killing of thousands non-combatants including children.
