    Sky Blues Trust - Open Letter

    I very rarely say this kind of thing in any forum but... You have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

    Sky Blues Trust - Open Letter

    Thanks for the reminder & apologies for forgetting. I did see your question and then the thread ballooned by over 20 pages over the weekend and I got lost in trying to catch up with what everyone was saying. It wasn't a minuted meeting. We went into it agreeing that everything would be off the...

    99 year lease, fair rent, revenues

    I guess it depends on any share agreement re: IECE shares and would income from Compass be listed as an individual item?

    Sky Blues Trust - Open Letter

    I can't remember being critical that often. In fact I think I've only made a couple of posts that have even mentioned him here. Any examples?

    99 year lease, fair rent, revenues

    I lose track of the various ins & outs so it might take a perusal of ACL accounts from someone with more time but IIRC, the key points are Compass loaning £4m upfront – which was used to redevelop the DeVere? – and getting sole rights to the F&B for an annual £1.4m (index-linked?) payment. This...

    99 year lease, fair rent, revenues

    Aren't Compass having to pay £1.4m pa to ACL no matter what gets sold?

    Negotiations

    We're working under the assumption that there aren't any talks going on?

    Sky Blues Trust - Open Letter

    EDIT: Didn't see Monners' question until I posted this. Good timing :) Haha! Not sure I'd survive working with Tim Fisher and at the risk of getting shmeee all worked up again, the only connection with Les Reid is that he's an old friend of mine who gave me a bit of advice & feedback (with the...

    Sky Blues Trust - Open Letter

    I wish I had a bit of time to go into this but work is calling so rather than just leave a :whistle:... Agree with this wholeheartedly. As someone who was NOPM before it even existed – and had the piss taken for taking a stand at the time – I came to the conclusion that it was going to cause...

    Open letter from Joy and Tim

    As I said, it's a start. Lots of scope for negotiation including negotiating what conditions need to apply before negotiations begin. There are no contracts left between ACL & CCFC so time to start working out some new ones. Just talk about it. Why Not?

    Open letter from Joy and Tim

    Happy to see this. We don't have to be doing any cartwheels just yet and I totally get some people's more negative reactions, but it is a start, and that is always a good place to begin something new. For anyone that has given Get Cov Back to the Ricoh stick for not protesting publicly against...

    Ricoh chairman says it would be a "tragedy" if CCFC didn't return

    AAAAAARGH! This is so frustrating! In the aftermath of the JR judgement we get statements about moving on, open doors and rental agreements, with Sisu having to make concessions after losing so badly and then all this bullshit starts up. The FL have actually released a statement saying that...

    Football league to consider outstanding debt sisu owe acl

    I don't think it makes any logical sense to liquidate the club. The golden share is Sisu's ticket to whatever debt restructuring / co-investing / general digging-themselves-out-of-the-CCFC-financial-hole party a new stadium or improved Ricoh can throw. It makes a good scary story to frighten the...

    David Prutton and an ex sky blues skipper on Pressley radar

    What's the record for players returning and being good for the team? E.g. Marcus Hall actually turned out more in his second spell for us whereas McSheff's return wasn't that great.

    So it took the heavyweight BBC to get the details eventually.

    Acl to comment on Ricoh arena position

    As has been said before, the £590K is in escrow and the FL are looking at this issue of whether the rent guarantee money from Mike 'n' Geoff should count towards rent received by ACL. If we were getting points docked we'd know about it by now so it's just a case of waiting until the FL make...
