Are they allowed to sell the stadium though, doesn't the freeholder have a say who it's sold too or if at all?

One does wonder if Ann Lucas stepping down has anything to do with the incoming shitstorm that may be approaching.

Leases usually have clause saying permission of freeholder needed but also usually say that permission can not be unreasonably withheld
So they could sell the lease but it was the stadium operating companies I was really referring to, apologies I didn't make that clear.

Couldn't just sell it to anyone surely, there must be some sort of covenant in place

Its Unlikely they’d veto any assignment in reality why would they

Because its a sports stadium, they couldn't turn it into a giant garden centre or go-cart track otherwise we are back to square 1 with nowhere for the cities football club to play.

There are a number of entities with sub leases at the stadium. Selling ACL or the head lease would not remove the need to honour all of the sub leases. So unlikely there would or could be a change in nature to the stadium
But it's all just speculation though as to what is going on.

HL confirmed that position yesterday
However it shook some investors as their portfolios, without notice or explanation, took a hit. Some investors say their investment portfolios should reflect the redemption value -it may well do of course!
Also one deluded soul thought it meant his capital funds were being sent!!

Not sure why that would prevent filing June 2021 accounts. Unless there was a fundamental change in process at signing date but that should have been reported
I was having a read through there the other day and one guy was claiming it’s a good thing as they’re getting an extra months interest and he can wait for his £170,000!

If I was him I'd be in a cold sweat every night given all of the vagaries around this. The phrase "whistling in the graveyard" comes to mind!

Did I read that right? The Ricoh needs 20m to update it???? Fuck me - we are better off fucking off if a 17 year old stadium needs that much renovation

Wouldn't like to be a bondholder at the moment.

Somethings going on and it’s more than just refinancing the £35m bond. I don’t think Richardson will put anymore of his own money into a failed business as he has no chance of getting it back.
They cannot continue to bury their heads in the sand anymore it’s that serious. Debt mounting year after year yet still pursuing hotels and training grounds.It’s like the recent Maxwell documentary- no real business strategy at all. Perhaps we will see a bbc documentary on what happened to the insects after they are put into liquidation?!!
Joking aside, as another chairman called Brian Richardson once said “You can’t go on forever like this.”

I don't know much about money/finance. I am sure others will have better thoughts about what's going on.

Acl (2006) ltd I think has the external loan funding and no employees
IEC experience ltd is the operating company of conferences events etc
I would guess the late accounts have triggered the notice?
It could be a takeover of the business by someone else or a restructure - closing the company and moving around the funding side

Something isn\t right for sure. Paying off the bonds isn't something that has come out of nowhere, they're known from the day they were issued when and how much was needed. To be weeks past the maturity date with no sign of any payment can't be anything other than a sign there is an issue no matter how much their supporters want to keep buying their heads in the sand.
What the issue is we can only guess. It could be that nobody wants to loan money given the state of their accounts, it could be the stadium valuation doesn't hold up as security or anything else.
If I'd got any money invested in them I would be very worried.

It’s highly unlikely the bond will default

Yes, it is Companies House that have triggered it due to late filing. Almost certain any lender would want to see a copy of these so will be watching keenly.
Grendel

IEC are also of course late filing

They could just delay paying again, and again after that.

Yes, spotted that this morning. When a previous auditor has had to resign due to falsified information, it is VERY easy to draw some very distasteful and negative views from all this.
Grendel

They are paying interest still.
Gynnsthetonic

Yes they would be, but they could just keep delaying unless they decide to stop paying the interest too, what would happen then I don't know.

The silence from Wasps is deafening though, has Vaughan or Richardson actually spoke these last few months.

Some interesting comments. I was surprised by this
‘barondene: The rent from CCFC does not reach 6 figures and that is gross - ie before all expenditures’
I can’t recall what our financial info said about the rent cost and whether that ties in. If it’s correct I don’t think our return will salvage the situation for Wasps long term, although CBS sponsorship probably wouldn’t have been secured without it so might’ve bought some time

This just shouts from the rooftops how fucked they are. no way would any successful business allow this to happen.
I’m sure they’ll find a way of kicking the can down the road but without a miracle from somewhere their failure here is inevitable.
