Yeah, I'd agree there's doubt as to the motives.It may be but you have to question the legal system as its being used not for justice but deliberately for the length of time in court
The arena is held as security on the bond issue. Normally what would happen would be whatever is held as security would pass over to whoever holds what as security if repayments are not made. If this is the case the bond holders would then become the lease holders. The money owed would then not be owed. But it isn't always as simple as that.Think Fishers stance was that the loan made to ACL was crippling the company so presumably the same would apply to the Wasps bond.
Presumably now the loan from the council has been repaid if Wasps were to hit trouble and default on the bonds that would be their problem and nothing to do with any future owner of ACL.
You are deluded you make accusations as if they are backed up factually but then no facts come out. Pointless discussing anything with you so I will ot in future ..Happy?Because like the others you will rock up for a bit, have digs and make targeted posts then vanish again.
As I say, it's quite obvious now.
They have said that they have new evidence on the value of the arena when Wasps took over. They are trying to say that it was worth about 30m more than Wasps paid. And that is for a sporting arena that was unused and losing money. The same arena that they had said was worthless.Yeah, I'd agree there's doubt as to the motives.
But then if there's no case whatsoever, a judge could have refused leave to appeal. So, given they think there is a basis, we may as well hear it.
I'm guessing here but I think ARVO is largely Joy Sepalla and her hubby who put money in to keep the other investors from pulling out and ruining her reputation.
She's now trying to turn a failed investment round (note I said investment not CCFC, doubt if she gives 2 hoots about the club all she wants is money).
Seriously?!?Which failed investment are you thinking about?
I think OSB has pointed out before that she's signed stuff of on behalf of ARVO so she's definitely involved. Don't know what the structure is between SISU and ARVO other than ARVO seem to bankroll SISU's investments so you may well be on the right track.
Which failed investment are you thinking about?
Bid for what?I spoke to someone yesterday that helped explain a few things. While they have a potential 30 mill compensation hanging around, that is the barometer for any bid. It doesn't matter what the realistic chances are, while it is there they won't budge with compo taking it into account. Once the last appeal fails then hopefully a more realistic offer will be accepted, if one comes. Just wondered why they wouldn't duck off tbf
SISU's investment into CCFC of course.
The legal system is to blame, its like two neighbours arguing about a hedge ending in huge legal costs because neither will back down. There has to be a point when a judge says enough is enough end it now.Yeah, I'd agree there's doubt as to the motives.

Are you still with the Trust? What is their strategy? Have they planned for different possible scenario's?
Can't help but feel another move away from the Ricoh would be any thing other than a disaster in terms of crowds
Like I said it isn't simple. But I am like you for once. I am not an expert in this field. Neither are you. So neither of us knows what would happen for sure.I thought that the lease defaulted back to its original term if wasps holdings went to administration - which would be the consequence of the bond failing.
There is no bond security due to this.
In JR1 they came out with their case. It got turned down. They said they had new evidence in the appeal. When the case came to court they had nothing.I just can't believe that CCFC supporters were happy with the confidentiality agreements between Richardson and Robinson / McGinnity...
Noody *wants* legal actions, but if a judge thinks they have a right to test it then, well... test it.
Yes and we have various plans depending on what happens.
There does seem to be an increase in the thoughts of the need for unity between fans of different clubs. Going to a committee meeting about it tomorrow in Euston. It's pointless one set of fans doing it all alone without combining their efforts with others of a similar mindset. It's much bigger than the issues here, Hull, Chesterfield, Blackpool, etc. It's what's going on in English football in general that's more concerning.
Give it up CJ it will do no good believe meYes and we have various plans depending on what happens.

Well I know for a fact the bond isn't secured and the lease would revert back
Yes we know you know "everything"
Well I know you aren't a CCFC fan.

I don't think I've seen you that excited about anything related to CCFC?
It's all well and good, but nobody disputes the ownership structure or the control side of things do they? It's the whole CCFC are SISU thing I dispute.
If CCFC are SISU, what baffles me is how people can go from going on about how they are the same thing to supporting CCFC thinking it is the same thing as SISU / Joy / Dermot. If Wasps bought CCFC tomorrow, it wouldn't suddenly become Wasps. If the council bought CCFC then it wouldn't suddenly become Coventry City Council.
Yes, the ownership structure would change but it wouldn't suddenly not be CCFC (unless the name changed etc).
The massive upsurge of pushing that is obvious of what it is trying to do. CCFC = SISU so we will all kick off at CCFC because Joy will be affected by it, it will really show them. It really is no co-incidence at all, the same as the other times things have started bubbling away.
If people want to start hammering CCFC thinking it's SISU and that it affects them then crack on. If it makes people feel better disrupting CCFC then good for them, the back pats and attention might be good for a few days but overall do nothing.
No of course just saying that isn't hammering ccfc. I meant more like action that affects games etc.It is not hammering CCFC in most cases. Saying Joy has ultimate control and is acting in the interests of her investors as opposed to CCFC is not knocking CCFC.
I feel sorry for the club for being little more than a pawn in a bigger game.
It is a terrible situation. Yes, I agree that for the general day to day business of fielding a football team CCFC needs all the support it can get. Having said that, I hope that SISU lose the JR as there is no way that CCFC will get any of possible compensation claims that follow - that will go the investors who were "wronged".
How many attempts do they get? Surely there must be a point they get banned from courtrooms?
That's why the FL won't / can't do much while they are *Legally* entitled to be challenging in the courts etc. They can't tell them to drop it, as it will open up a massive can of worms.
It's pointless because you will vanish again soon not to be seen until the next thing needs to be pushed or people need to be outraged. The same as jjglory, Sky blue john, Gosford etc.
not sure why you get so annoyed about it.
Those left have seen us go from Prem to League Two. If they are still here after everything our club has gone through in the past 10 years, its reasonable to suggest those 3 posters aren't going to sway them / us into walking away.
Plenty of fans won't have seen us in the premier league.
No of course just saying that isn't hammering ccfc. I meant more like action that affects games etc.
If sisu did somehow win, it would be great if the judge made it water tight it had to be all given to ccfc and stay there. (Insert dream here).
I know it's not going to be millions for ccfc, hence I cleared that up with a disclaimer!And that's why people get frustrated with you Nick you are in dream land. Yes legally Otium, SISU and Arvo are separate companies. This is to protect the owners SISU. So if one enterprise goes belly up you don't get a domino effect. However SISU is the controlling interest in all of them. Yes CCFC is a football club, run within a set budget...but the overriding control remains with SISU (and some fans find their methods and ethics unacceptable and don't want them aligned to their football club).
Some fans see a similar mirrored situation with Wasps but maybe not a 100 per cent identical.
Even if SISU win their court process it is highly unlikely a judge would say hand it all over to CCFC. SISU are driving a case to say certain companies have been damaged and should be compensated.
Think on this, CCFC being relegated from Championship to League 1 helped their case rents were too high at the Ricoh. Relegated from League 1 to League 2 could help their plea that they were financially damaged.
I think it is all pie in the sky. They are actually dragging everything out to see how Wasps prosper. Under the current model/structure CCFC have to be pretty self sufficient so SISU aren't digging into their pockets. So they have never intended to build a new stadium. Neither will SISU ever suddenly turn into our fairy godmother. Of course there are several villains in the piece, this is business not Hollywood or Roy of the Rovers.
