Mounts Kipper Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I can’t believe in an email to staff Anderson has mentioned that he’s now able because of the delay to talk to other interested parties, where does that leave him with his remarks last week that ‘“heads of terms been agreed” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darrener Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Kens taking the piss now, I've backed him up to now but this is beyond a joke. Looks like the deal was supposed to be done today but both parties seem to be playing poker over the staff wages a who blinks first situation. Well I don't think Ken will blink for one minute which puts the whole thing into doubt and I don't think he's talking to other interested parties it's just brinkmanship. How dare he play with people's lives in this way, JUST DO THE FUCKING DEAL AND FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escobarp Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 I cannot imagine that he is able to negotiate with anybody else unless the contract/HOT have expired or been breached. By stating he is in discussions would likely breach it from the clubs point of view. I just can’t get my head round this at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always says he is in discussion with "other interested parties", it's his cack handed way of try to apply leverage to those potentially buying. They know that as well but given the cost of them making the bid and undertaking due diligence it just sows an element of doubt in their mind.

I’d have thought a buyer would have wanted exclusivity (and no doubt Ken will have demanded a significant non-returnable fee for the privilege). Perhaps the buyer did have exclusivity, but it only lasted until 28 February... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wullie Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 Cutting through all the crap, he SHOULD tell everyone when they will be paid, and by when I mean an actual date. He has an obligation to ensure all staff are paid wages, so whatever the arguments, he should do this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really, he has an obligation to pay wages, the takeover is irrelevant, if it falls through, and the process for new potential buyers takes just as long, would he expect them all to wait again?

He can't pay the staff if the money isn't there to pay them or if accounts are frozen...he personally does not have a duty to pay the wages but to run the business. I suspect should the takeover fall through that its endgame one way or another now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect should the takeover fall through that its endgame one way or another now. I understand what you are saying however, he owns 94% of the football club, whilst he doesn't have to pay out of his own pocket, the business he owns does. He would have known in advance he didn't have the money to pay wages for February, and yet nothing was said to anyone, people couldn't try and budget knowing they could be short, it is morally wrong, and whatever statement he makes after the event becomes irrelevant. There will be alot of people stressing out in regards to mortgages, rents, energy bills etc, who if they were warned in advance, could have attempted to budget, but no, no statement is made until a couple of days before the pay day, it's wrong on many levels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

birch-chorley Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 He isn’t obliged to pay the wages himself, it’s a Ltd company If it ain’t there, it ain’t there The bigger concern for me is that the season ticket money hasn’t been taken from everyone’s DD’s (or hadn’t this morning). Surely that’s a significant amount of income not being collected which is crazy really It’s just a big mess really, let’s hope this deal goes through and we have some stability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would anyone paying 27m for a business or an asset enter into a very costly due diligence process without a period of exclusivity? In all my days dealing with acquisitions etc in a former life I never saw anything of this size not have that. So as I said unless it’s expired (which I find unlikely so soon) I just can’t get my head around any of this. But maybe it was a 7 day exclusivity who knows and guessing we never will know if I’m honest. Your guess is as good as mine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Spider Posted March 1, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted March 1, 2019 (edited) If that email is genuine, then he should have said WHEN staff will get paid. Assumption must be that the talks with Basra’s have stalled so the exclusivity agreement has therefore ended. The club is simply broken and only an utter crackpot would buy it right now. I’d say admin is less than 2 weeks away if these buyers have been scared off. Edited March 1, 2019 by Spider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
