Tax relief on the 'losses'. Handy should we ever make a profit.

So simple questions such as 'why do you think the accounts you signed off Mr Fisher were incorrect' can only be asked in a court, even though TF states that the accounts were wrong repeatedly, to the press and on the radio. Can only a court be expected to receive a more detailed answer than...

Where should the questions be asked then? In the Telegraph? On the radio? Really interested to know where you think is appropriate, as you regularly suggest its not the forums.

Thanks for your replies Stuart. I do hope you will start asking some probing questions so we can see what the answers are, and what the implications will be.

SISU didn't put Ltd into administration. Arvo did. So, Arvo put CCFC Ltd into administration even though they knew that they should put Holdings into administration? Just to stop ACL? That doesn't make sense. But obviously, TF is the man to question on that, not you!

My intention has always been to raise questions. I don't have access to the information that would provide answers. Directors of companies generally have that access. That is why I feel we should question TF and question him rigorously. No-one in the media to my knowledge has done so thus...

How can anyone know what follows when we don't know what the answers are! On a simple level. If CCFC Ltd was a non-trading subsidiary, as TF suggests, then how has it been forced into administration, as it wouldn't have any debts if it had passed on the rental costs to the trading company...

Has TF done this before releasing his interpretation to the press?

So Fisher is aware of what was happening in 1995 with Robbie Keane (in detail) but cannot explain why this wasn't recorded properly because he wasn't there and can't be expected to know the details? The CEO doesn't understand, and isn't able to explain, the structure of his own company? Whats...

Why not let the fans decide if they understand the complexities? We could always google bits to find out the answers. Also, I may be from Coventry, but have a background in academic sports research, so do take offence at the suggestion that I have approached this as subjectively as you...

Agree about 'every item' and 'detail'. But you would be aware if all of the income, all of the major assets and all of the salary costs were recorded incorrectly in the wrong company. Most CEO's I have encountered have been very sharp on such matters. I imagine Ranson was aware of the...

When SISU took control of the club, according to the accounts submitted, they were able to immediately write off £43 million of the debt outstanding as no longer due. They did this in Sky Blue Sports and Leisure Ltd - the parent company. According to the accounts, they did not apply this...

Thanks for the reply. I am surprised to hear what low regard you have for the intelligence of football supporters (and presumably the listeners to your show) I've had a lot of feedback, comments and contact from the blog that shows people can understand the accounts, are able to understand...

Why does it need a court room? Its fairly simple stuff and can be answered in a forum quite quickly in my opinion. Are you and TF suggesting City fans are not up to following simple lines of argument? CCFC Ltd has acted like a football club. It has historically been paying players wages...

Hi Stuart Im the author of the blog 'A Prison of Measured Time' You said you would have a read on a previous thread. Any comments?

Not sure what you mean. These are all historic figures. No predictions anywhere. Nowhere have I suggested I can sort out the world economy, nor even CCFC's.

If you take this to the logical conclusion then Arvo, a subsidiary of SISU, surely put the wrong company into administration. Why would a non-trading subsidiary have needed the debenture in the first place? Be interesting to know if Arvo paid the debenture money to CCFC Ltd via Holdings and...

Yeah. The council were out of order building a stadium for the club to play in. We could and should have moved to Walsall in 2003.

How can it take so long when 99% of the creditors are SISU related companies? I think ACL should/will have put a submission in for the full term of the agreement between CCFC and themselves - its what any landlord does when a tenant defaults on the rent. 43 years of rent at £1.2 million a year...

Not really Paxman. Its called projections and forecasting. Something I've done numerous times for companies. Guessing OSB has too. Surprising how accurate you can be...
