There may have been a glimmer of hope a few years back when PY Gerbau got on board, as he was known for turning sinking ships around... however he jumped, so I would be willing to put my life savings (all £3.90 of it) that this project will NEVER see the light of day.

I hope those rare spiders are pleased with themselves - selfish arachnids.

I give it a few years before a version of this project appears again somewhere else along the river.

This is the 2nd attempt at a park down that way after all. Although the first attempt was on the north bank of the river.

WHO SAW THIS COMING!?!??

Genuinely surprised there hasn't been some money laundering investigations into this because some people have made a mint out of it.

Quite a lot of people (some of whom I know) had been working on this, fully knowing it was not going to get anywhere but were reaping the rewards financially, and good on them. Whilst it still had investment flooding in, why not.

Interestingly, there has been some investors in this that have invested in other leisure opportunities out in Saudi, and coincidentally, some of the same creative teams have been working on that, too... Part of me wonders if a lot of it the work for this project was not actually for this, but for other investments overseas - draining the final resources to boost the bottom line of other ventures.

CVA doesn't mean it's dead in the short term sadly, it means they're offering their creditors a chance to take pennies on the pound, and allow them to keep trading... The alternative is that the company is liquidated, which could leave creditors with nothing. Therefore creditors may well vote the CVA through and then this drags on for a few more years, having written off (or converted to shares) 80% of the money they owe so far.

In fact that very article suggests that many of the creditors are happy to vote for the CVA on the basis that some of the money owed is converted into shares, so clearly they're planning to / hoping to carry on with the pipe dream.

Actually, thinking about it, depending 'who' the creditors are, this could leave the project with some very interesting share holders. I'm worried that this might actually breathe another 5-10 years of misplaced hope into this project... :/

tl;dr This project should be dead by now, realistically they should have been going for a CVL (liquidation.) But I fear the CVA has been chosen as just another way for them to drag it out for a few more years to come.

Most of the creditors are investors, in which they've had a load. If you look at Companies House, the entire list of shareholders is listed, and it goes to prove the post above, sadly.

Really!!?

Okay, I'm not putting this in a box with other "I don't think this will happen, but it might and that would be nice, but I'm not holding my breath" projects.

Kind of like a lottery win for those who play (I don't), nobody expects to win, but they could win...

Yep, as I called it the CVA was voted through, London Resort Holdings can continue to trade newly free of debt, and the pipe dream continues....

What does that mean exactly?

Is there any rare possibility it could actually come through at some point in some major form of itself or is this a still a complete farse?
