So it was spin?
Perhaps.
But let's just say they did do it, like you originally thought. So, SISU come in and buy us when we are on the brink, they pump in millions over the years that follow, up to 45m give or take, then go ahead and WRITE IT ALL OFF.
That was your understanding, and yet you still think of them as the bad guys? Jesus, you're hard to please.
I have no idea if they acted on that commitment by the way, but I seriously doubt it at this point.

Additionally, tommy, there must be a threshold that Sisu will have to accept. My understanding is that agreements have to be reached with the main creditors, that they will get x pence in the pound. It is their right to reject an offer, and if no agreement is reached with creditors, the business is liquidated. The capital raised by liquidation is then payed to the creditors, in some form of pecking order, which, I believe, puts players wages near the top. So, if the club is liquidated, there is only a certain amount that could be payed to Sisu. That would therefore be the threshold for the x-pence in the pound out of the alleged £45M they have loaned the club.
My guess is that a lot of truths will come out, when the administrator has access to the accounts. We may see what was received for transfers, and where that money went, etc, for example ( not sure on confidentiality)
Just my thoughts....

Just to point out that I wasn't so naive to believe that Sisu had written off their investment.

Well firstly it's an application that will require a hearing. There are a lot of circumstances that can be argued from SISU's viewpoint too.
It's also a bit of 'calling the kettle black' a bit on ACL's part isn't it?
They seem by this action to be taking the stance that it will somehow be 'rewarding' for the club in the longer term.
No mention of how they could sort the mess out around a table or even provide SISU with some answers to their request?
Not backing SISU but ACL seem to lack a bit of noodle here.
About the only thing this does is get Joy Sepeela's attention over her orange juice in the morning and she will no doubt react angrily which is precisely what we all don't want and ACL don't want and the whole sorrow mess gets played out further.
Will it force them to pay rent? No. I feel ACL may have bitten off more than they can chew. This will not end well for them or the council.
I watch with interest in the coming weeks...

Vick, I think PWKH will keep his own counsel until the dust settles. If negotiations are taking place they are best conducted away from message boards.

We will now get an idea if SISU's clout.
We need to be in the play off places when the high court
decide if SISU have the funds or not.
If we are there it will be interesting if SISU suddenly produce 1.3 million

How have a major hedge-fund like sisu got the commercial acumen of a grape? At the time the fans were lauding them and were proud of 'our hard nosed owners', the negative quotations about Joy Seppala were also lauded and her 'balls of steel' meant we would never get shafted again. Some even went as far going onto Southampton boarding and goading them for rejecting sisu.
I am sure Mr Coventry City was also eager for sisu to takeover rather than entering into administration.

This club has no long term future under SISU. It is imperative that the football club owns the ground, or at least half. That can't happen under SISU as ACL would never sell to them.
People shouldn't be trying to cling on to these terrible owners. It might mean we have to go through a bit of pain, but it will be worth it.
