There IS a "quiet deal being done"
I am told by a VERY reliable source that CCFC's (Sisu's) action in applying for a judicial review is related to a document that implicates the Council in some way. If the Council lose in court they would face a massive pay out.
That has driven both sides together. Likely outcome, apparently is:
High- profile stadium management company takes over the running of the Ricoh
ACL wound up or something of the sort
CCFC continue to play at the Ricoh
Sisu guarantee to invest heavily in the club or sell
Sale unlikely because of £60,000,000 (a figure accepted by all sides) put into the club so far
CCFC rent desk ripped up & arrears written off
A way of CCFC Ltd exiting administration to be agreed by all and put to the administrator
Sisu has made it clear they will not negotiate with Elliott/Hoffman under any circumstances
Preston Haskell not regarded as likely bidder after trying, unsuccessfully to buy into three clubs previously - Leeds, Charlton and Bolton. All three concluded that he would be unlikely to deliver,
