Does what’s left of the 10 year agreement carry over?

If the council wrote it into the transfer of the lease, yes...

So are Wasps history at the CBS that’s all I wanna know?

Who knows? A week ago I’d have said almost certainly, but recent comments focusing on CCFC are either better PR or a change behind the scenes that means they aren’t coming back.

Can the Ashley group change the agreement or up the rent?

Indeed. Who is the lease being transferred to?

Council are freeholders... they have to agree any transfer of lease from acl, and have the power to write in whether the conditions of sub lease should remain...

Might appeal and play in premiership next year and may well do that at cbs
Lose appeal it’s got to be highly unlikely

Why would they transfer the lease to Fraser Group?
Fraser Group now own ACL, the lease is with ACL.

We really need to stop with this automatic 'council bad' batshit conspiracy nonsense, it's as crazy as going all in on the SISU evil line. Sometimes, things just... happen. Sometimes of course, council *can* be bad, but the nonsense distracts from the times when they do need to be held to account, much as it did when Joy Seppala was eating everybody's babies. Over the past couple of days we have had CCFC's new owner admit that SISU didn't have the cash to bid for the stadium, and his deal meant they were late to the party - nothing there in CCC stopping SISU from bidding. We have also had the new owner say the lease is valid and there is no reason it wouldn't be really, as the company it's agreed with is still there.
Meanwhile we have administrators, and stadium company, and Frasers Group all making a point that they want to work with CCFC, and many of those self-same people making a point of thanking CCFC for their co-operation through this process.
Ultimately, the reason SISU don't own the stadium now is because SISU didn't have the cash to own the stadium. That's it, pure and simple.

Honestly not sure how it works.. as we know, it is a tangled Web of companies, and two versions of ACL were under scrutiny today...
But this is what I was told.. .. and by somebody who should know...
I did not delve deeper - you/smmee could be right, but think something like this has been said all along!

If it's the same person who told you SISU were stopped from bidding, then they were wrong there.

Doesn’t the Ashley sale basically pay off the bond holders? Was there other debt?

CCFC were a creditor for example.
Compass were another.
Do those agreements all stay in place or are they wiped out?

I assume some kind of CVA will have been part of Ashley’s bid. Even if it offered nothing it would have been deemed better for the creditors than liquidation.

It gets voted through and the option is there to oppose but ultimately, Dave has to suck it up if he refuses as he's a minor creditor in the grand scheme of things, so can get subsumed by the majority. He might be even worse off if he's an unsecured creditor.

I just want those badges down!!
I think FG has just acquired the long leasehold shmmeee. ACL is now in administration and will ultimately be dissolved once any other assets are realised and distributions made to creditors
Nick
Administrator
So effectively, once it's not with ACL the agreements go anyway?

In which case I'll withdraw part of my rant, but certainly won't withdraw the assumption that bad things will happen. Our new owner seems happy it's secure and, if he's wrong, what does that say about his judgement, along with the person who sold him the club?

But the terms of the lease will be the same, it's been assigned presumably at the consent of the freeholder

They'd be due £1800 back not the full 6k

I have made a direct purchase of a lease where the council owns the freehold - we agreed the price but had to get permission through assignment from ccc as the freehold owner

I've seen some lease terms and assignment consent seems pretty boilerplate in commercial leases

ACL 2006 holds and manages the head lease from CCC whilst ACL is responsible for operational management of the arena business. IEC was majority owned by ACL.
As I understand it, those 3 companies went in to administration and were immediately bought by House of Fraser Group. Assets won’t be realised for distribution, HoF payment for the three companies is the totality of what is available for distribution to creditors from those 3 companies, There is no need for them to be dissolved and it would be in the new owners interest to maintain all current contracts for use of the stadium in place. But hopefully not Wasps!
