Some of the things I would like to know and in no particular order except the first one and the last one
- what is the plan
- what is the optimum number of players per the budget
- does that number match AT's expectations
- has an actual figure been discussed for rent, what date did proper discussions on rent actually start.
- have CCFC/SISU reached a deal with the Charity they can meet, secure and fund
- when do they plan to hold more discussions with ACL Council and Charity and if not planned why not
- are CCFC expecting not to top up the escrow account
- whats the plan when the escrow runs out
- what initiatives have CCFC for increasing income
- have they got in place the cost savings in all areas or are they relying on not paying any rent
- how many redundancies have been made and how many more expected
- what new costs have been built into the football club over last 12 months eg Waggott, Brookfield, Fisher etc
- what finance do we now pay interest on (is interest charged by ARVO and at what rate)
- what is the current level of net debt for the Group
- how much is now owed to SISU and ARVO
- Has season ticket sales been financed again
- what happened to the Prozone money
- current level of losses are ?
- what transfer fees etc received in last year and how many settlements paid out... what value
- what exactly the write down in the accounts for goodwill was and why
- why losses written off on purchase in 2008 in SBS&L are left in the accounts of CCFC and CCFCH (confuses many into thinking we owe £54m)
- how are they going to fund the academy with all these cutbacks when we need to spend nearly £1m every year to be a category 2
- what is the plan
I am sure there are many others please add any you can think of
Can answer the Higgs element i think as PWKH has a remark at the base of the article in todays CT stating ,"there have been no further talks between the Two and non scheduled for the near future"
Now that it seems Sisu are trying to get to grips with their "investment" what is their endgame? It is not conceivable that they intended to be long term owners, they have probably been in for longer than they would have planned. But for Igwe's cock ups they would have tried to be out by now.
Maybe their plan is to kill the rent, kill ACL and take it over, bring in an operator and sell the whole package.
So Joy Seppala and Fisher answer OSB's questions on the plan going forward and then tell us what your endgame is.
Yeah. If he smiles, then that will fit perfectly into my agenda (i.e. he is a nice bloke / a smug twat). Let us know if you see him at the aforementioned games and what his facial expression has done to your opinion.
