Maybe the only time I'd back them in going to court if it led to a 50-50 share
Wasps and CCFC.
As long as the charity still get the 2.77 they agreed to

At least SISU have finally admitted ACL are at least half if it is profitable and does make more sense than a new stadium.
Now lets stop playing games and get on with getting Civ back in the Ricoh

God yes. Every single fan will be supporting sisu on this one.

Not really after all you have pointed out on numerous occassions that its worthless so therefore they would be throwing good money after bad and I for one dont want Sisu to lose any more of their cash. I mean what the hell are they thinking, paying good money for a "souless" "concrete monstrosity" in Holbrooks no no no no no:facepalm:

Wasn't he saying Ray Ranson was part of the Wasps consortium last week which turned out to be bull so I wouldn't get my hopes up.


On the chance he is right I hope Wasps and SISU can come to an agreement for a 50:50 split

Owning the half without the loan vs the other lot with the loan and a 250 year lease is a different ball game. As you well know.

Top wumming - this is No Loan and 250 years while the partners Re shafted with the loan

Won't happen though it will be vetoed.

Why should it matter I am with you Grendel its worthless so 50% for 2.77 million is 2.77 million too much and would be better put to use on our "new stadium" after all we can only play at one so why would we want 50% of another one because as Laura agreed with the judge Sisu aren't a charity or maybe they are just helping out if they are:claping hands:

Not really sure what your issue is.

SISU have finally made a play for half of ACL again. Surely you should be happy.

If they pull this off it is the perfect scenario.

The rubbish about a new stadium goes.

The Ricoh has two sports clubs maximising its use sharing the profits.

Just glad SISU are finally showing their hand and finally its one that makes sense.

It's a shame it took the wasps move to bring it into play

Well I certainly will. Those council bastards have sold the club down the river... Time to back the club now and its owners for the time being.

Wouldn't the Injection into LTD to settle out the 43 years go to ACL?

Would that then reduce Richardsons need to pay off £13M .

If this works I see It costing them both around £13M .

Of course If they succeed In stopping him achieving 100% he may just bugger off and leave the field clear ,in which case they may be able to bring It down further re the CCC. th



EDIT:- He did reduce the Price by around £10M If reports are to be believed ,that may have been canny have done It myself when Purchasing a house when the chain was well

down the line and saved a pretty sum ,but It may also give him room to manoeuvre around SISU and the Club

if we were veoted, would that mean SISU in court with Wasps or CCC ?

Forget 365 revenues of the Ricoh. we would be better off with 365 revenues of the court

Despite being ridiculed by those economists on here such as astute for predicting this likely development the actual critical aspect will be not the requirement to re-fund an empty company but deal with the veto.

I suspect ( again having been ridiculed by the economic experts) that the wasps takeover is not to be completed until 30 days after the Higgs announcement. So they can veto the club buying the shares.

I don't believe Wasp can veto a deal by CCFC ltd (SBS&L), but they may have a cancellation option if they are unable to get all the shares.

So if sisu somehow manage to fulfil the requirements to buy Higgs shares, then the question is if Wasp will sell on their shares to sisu (for a profit/compensation) or simply walk away.

Another interesting issue is how much will it cost sisu to buy the shares through ccfc ltd and who will benefit the most. The biggest creditors are Otium and ACL (the lease). Buying the shares is buying half of ACL - and may open an option to buy the remaining half. So any money going to ACL could actually be money going back to sisu (if Wasp agree to sell). In addition any money going to Otium is money going to sisu.

If sisu manage to buy Higgs shares and Wasp cancel their deal - will the council sell their shares to sisu?

Or alternatively will Wasps buy CCFC?

Will the Higgs ,the price will have to be right ,say £6.5M.

The loan is payable by ACL, buy half the shares and you are responsible for the loan just as much as the other half are.

Pretty sure PWKH, or maybe it was OSB58, or both, said that Higgs have to give permission for the purchase option to be transferred. So claims of beneficial ownership won't work will they?

Train up one of the staff from the club shop to be a lawyer or judge and we'd be loaded in no time.

If CCC haven't completed sale to wasps then they may not have veto yet. Would it then be that CCC would have to turn down ccfc???? Tut tut tut.

Who knows. Way above my head!

This really is new territory.
What I am struggling with is why haven't SISU now dropped the appeal.
It no longer assists with distressing ACL?

Higgs can turn down any offer if they want, the option just says they (CCFC Ltd*) have a chance to make an offer.

*There is talk of beneficial ownership transferring the option, I don't think this will work, but I'm out of my depth with that.

You prefer a Maltese one?

I would absolutely love the "club" to own the stadium . Just not some Cayman based hedge fund who will probably still charge rent and lots of lovely interest on imaginary money .
I wish Sisu would just stop dragging the club through the mud and fuck off asap.

The case is against the Council, not ACL. Although ACL are linked by virtue of having received the loan, I don't see that it distresses them particularly.

I reckon If that one was to work It would have happened ,I think the rejection of the CVA stopped that .

Can someone bring me up to speed. I stopped reading all the threads on ACL / CCC / Wasps etc as it just seemed to be the same old argument going round in a circle but when the idea of SISU buying 50% of ACL was mentioned just after the sale to Wasps the general consensus seemed to be it was BS from the council and they'd royally stitched the club up and made it impossible for them to buy the share.

Is that not right, has something changed? Why are we now in a position where we can buy half? Obviously it would be fantastic to get an ownership stake and it's nice to finally see SISU admit they want a share in the stadium but is there any chance of this actually happening?

If it relies on going to court to prove beneficial ownership of the option how can they claim that without getting stuck with the balance of the lease?
