Have ACL been completely beaten here (1 Viewer)

Personally I hope ACL can force the league to boot the sorry carcass of CCFC out altogether, no place to play fixtures should = no fixtures

Average ticket is more like £15, plus 20% of that is VAT.

Well take the Vat and rent off NTFC figure and the FFP ceiling and we will have about a 600k budget.

What really concerns me is that we would be totally stuffed (more than we are now) if ACL really didn't need the rent from the club and told SISU to do one. Assuming hypothetically that Compass and the Casino are dealt with ACL could say it's too late for any deals. SISU could take them to court but on what grounds? If they still want to argue that the council loan was very naughty then that's not going to help with the groundshare at Northampton, where they're also getting a loan from their council I understand. So what happens to our club if this takes place? At the moment we have the fall back position of the offer from ACL if the groundshare goes wrong but once we lose that safety net......

Yes, Northampton are getting a 12m loan from their council. I wonder if they realise their new tenants actions could cause them issues !!! Different circumstances but I'm sure if the case goes ahead various clubs circumstances will be questioned.

hopefully ACL will refuse the payout and tie SISU up in court for months costing SISU and CCFC money this is the only choice open to them. CCFC has not hit the bottom yet points deduction, relegation all to come, costing SISU millions, bollocks to SISU now !! I hope ACL drag this out as long as possible to cost SISU as much as possible !!

i cannot see any other way that ccfc can ever play at the ricoh again unless ACL backs down and gives sisu what they want .
that means at least 50% share of the ricoh with full matchday revenues , What will happen to the ricoh ,will acl back down , can acl survive without CCFC ,and please dont say 4 concerts a year can balance their books ,not possible surely .
infact if ccfc doesnt go back to the ricoh can aCL even survive .
All points in the direction that acl have been beaten here when they clearly didnt expect to lose ,as with all of us i think they underestimated SISUs weird obsession with losing money .
Thoughts guys

Unfortunately Craig
ACL if SISU don't change their plan will be forced to find alternative uses for the Ricoh.
SISU will never build another stadium so it will be us and SISU beaten hands down.
