ACL make a bid for CCFC Ltd (1 Viewer)

[bigfatronssba]

Has nobody realised that ccc have been manouvering for a buyout. I thought this was common knowledge. Imagine ccfc run by the mutton and his bumboy pals. The council have run the town centre into the ground... ... What would they do to us!! no way acl/coventry council

Which current members of the Council Cabinet are Homosexuals?

Im at the forum, linell announced he'd heard it through sources but it is as yet unconfirmed.
Would make sense, council will want to keep the club in coventry at the end of the day

New his 'sources' would come into it somewhere along the line

Not always reliable thoug. Remember Di Canio was certain for a return to Swindon

 

[sky blue john]

That would be catastrophic how the hell is that "good news"

only Grendel could see unification of the Ricoh stadium and ccfc as catastrophic !!!!!

 

[Mary_Mungo_Midge]

Don't forget, ACL are an £8m business, if which the football club represents less than 20%.

If their plan is to bring the football club under their umbrella, the enhanced turnover would help FFP limits greatly; and all incomes would be out to a harmonious good.

It would make a decent proposition to a potential buyer.

That stated, I might prefer they retain control, re-employ Andy Thorn as club ambassador and ban the playing of Marillion songs within 10 miles of the stadium...

 

[covmark]

If it is in any way true then I would have to assume it is a stratagy employed by haskel

maybe he has bought 50% of ACL and got the funds to back their bid as an alternative to is own

Just a conspiracy of course

You may be right, nothing wrong with conspiracies

Are you for real?

The greedy filth will set their own rent to new buyers. The club needs to be owned independently and ACL absorbed at no cost.

It's morons like you who bend over and demand more pain from the council who have helped create the mess.

If we were bought by ACL we would be liquidated in 6 months no question.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

I haven't read the whole thread but why have ACL put in a bid for te club? All there action have been motivated they say for the best of the club and getting to of SISU, why are they not working alongside other bids who would be better suited to run the club ie Haskell/Byng to take over the club and the arena. Why have they put up a rival bid. It seems the council are desperate to keep the Ricoh and are reluctant to deal with anyone on ownership of the Ricoh

Even if we get rid of SISU we won't go anywhere or improve unless the council are prepared to deal with new owners on ownership of the Ricoh, they say they would do that but I'm not 100% convinced

Please think things through before posting.

Why would ACL go through the effort & cost to buy the club only to liquidate it? Add in the fact according to you that ACL rent is comparable to that paid by the US Govt for Mount Cheyenne, your argument doesnt make any sense.

Most ludicrous thing you have ever said,

 

[Grendel]

Let's explore this.

Do you think ACL would have enough money to sustain a football club and finance it?

When it makes losses and ALL football clubs make losses will the taxpayer fund losses?

 

[bigfatronssba]

Let's explore this.

Do you think ACL would have enough money to sustain a football club and finance it? Well if they haven't then the administrator won't sell to them.

When it makes losses and ALL football clubs make losses will the taxpayer fund losses? No, they will look for a buyer

ACL have proven themselves to be far more capable of running a business than Sisu.

 

[Grendel]

Most ludicrous thing you have ever said,

So you think sisu would agree to this then?

 

[Grendel]

ACL have proven themselves to be far more capable of running a business than Sisu.

Without a grossly overblown rent they haven't. Oh and they've never ran a football club. You are truly insane if you believe they are a preferred option.

 

[bigfatronssba]

Preferable to Sisu.

A rent they were able to get away with because CCFC was so badly run?

 

[Grendel]

I ask again. Would sisu holdings agree to this?

Oh the crushing irony!

 

[bigfatronssba]

Agree to what? ACL buying Ltd? That isn't down to Holdings/Sisu to agree to, its up to the administrator.

 

[Grendel]

Well you are clearly the administration expert and I am a mere beginner. You explain what a voluntary CVA is.

 

[bigfatronssba]

Well you are clearly the administration expert and I am a mere beginner. You explain what a voluntary CVA is.

I know little about it. As I understand it a CVA is when over 75% of creditors agree to the administrators proposal. When 75% of creditors don't agree to it the Administrator has to force through the sale of the club. Something that would result in a further points deduction.

 

[Broken Hearted Sky Blue]

That would be catastrophic how the hell is that "good news"

Not quite what you had in mind? In future be carefull what you wish for:guitar2::guitar2::guitar2::claping hands::claping hands::claping hands:

 

[SkyBlueTossPot]

ACL place a bid and if they "win" then they will sell to either PH4 or BaddaByng meaning we have new owners and ACL have a little triumph.

I'm not bothered who buys us now as long as SISU get the fook out of town.

Love Ciy HATE SISU.......Hate Leicester !!

 

[SLOnAir]

New his 'sources' would come into it somewhere along the line

Not always reliable thoug. Remember Di Canio was certain for a return to Swindon

Just to be clear, I told the meeting two separate things:

One - that I had just had a phone call with Michael Byng who is in Abu Dhabi confirming, and agreeing that I could say so, that his group have submitted a bid.

Two - from a source that I am not prepared to identify but who I believe to be reliable, that ACL are one of the bidders. I stressed to the meeting that this had not been confirmed but that it would be checked by my colleagues at BBC Coventry & Warwickshire. It may not prove to be true, but - as I say - it came to me from a usually reliable source, and since there are said to be six bidders I, and others, have been trying to identify them.

 

[sky blue john]

Grendel i would be first in the Que for a season ticket if acl unified the Ricoh and ccfc would you be joining me ?

Can you really see acl running City? They will sell up.

Fucking hell PKWH, is that you?

 

[bigfatronssba]

Exactly. It would just be a means of reuniting the club and the stadium and being able to sell it on.

Did you manage to find out if the ACL bid is in conjunction with another party or just them on their own?

 

[SLOnAir]

Thank you, but I haven't set out to change opinions of me. My concern has been to try and hear opinions, from all sides, of what the heck is happening to Coventry City Football Club.

Any idea who the other bidders are Stuart, apart from ACL, sisu, byng and Haskell?

 

[SLOnAir]

At this stage I know no more than I have said - and I stress it has not been confirmed. If there is anything in it, it will no doubt be reported on BBC Coventry & Warwickshire just as soon as it is confirmed - if, indeed, it is.

I can second that.i was there. Stuart. ..What's your view on how these forums went.i dont think fisher got any of his points accross.seems still being in administration is starting to annoy him

 

[SLOnAir]

They are the only four (assuming ACL is one) that I know of at the moment.
