But, until we are reliably informed otherwise, the loan is owed to PBP not to MJ and I cannot see how he can get it into his own name without the agreement of Tom Morris and without tax consequences. So is it an attempt by Basran to appease a large creditor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 15, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted March 15, 2019 In fairness, he hasn't said basran hasn't got extra support he doesn't know of. Purely that the available evidence suggests he might not have. Whether that's helpful or not is for readers to decide. Not sure the real guys will be too concerned either way.

Unless Basran & co have access to huge pots of money, which appears questionable, he and his cohorts have no alternative but to reach an accomodation with creditors.

Michael's had an interest in this for a lot longer than PB and SB and has at least one mutual acquaintance with major concerns and a material interest in the outcome. I have to say that I don't like, one bit, the idea of unsecured creditors being thrown to the wolves. That really would be shameful.

I have to say that I don't like, one bit, the idea of unsecured creditors being thrown to the wolves. That really would be shameful. I suppose the issue with ‘settling’ with unsecured creditors is that you are unlikely to retain their services moving forward, therefore a major procurement exercise would need take place along with the potential for ‘pro-forma’ (cash only) terms. I do believe Basran wishes to avoid administration because I think the pre-pack costs are too high, the £5.5M saved on the PBP loan may actually be used to settle unsecured debt rather than on the squad/facilities.

Traf Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 So, as a deal is unlikely pre-Wigan game.... We lose and we're effectively down, so it will suit potential buyers to let us go into administration and take the 12pt hit and they can buy the club cheaper?

If Ken can delay a week or so then he can force admin to cost points next season. I don't think buyers want it to go into admin. Adds a lot of delay, binds their hands in other ways such as a transfer ban and potentially means other parties can get ahead of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wullie Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 Well, the timing is key in regards to points deductions and when they happen: "From 2007–08, any club entering administration after the fourth Thursday in March would have their 10-point deduction suspended until the following season" Not sure if the above has changed, but they changed it after Leeds went into admin the day after they knew they would be relegated, and so closed the loophole and added the fourth Thursday in March timeline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Basran would have to buy out Ken and then announce administration; purchasing the assets from administration. All Ken can do is allow a liquidation.

That wouldn’t prevent another creditor applying for the club to be wound up on that day, there’s a process called ‘substitution’ whereby they take over the winding up order from the company that has been settled. But also, Ken can’t just ‘pay’ HMRC because that is seen to be giving preference to a creditor which is illegal when ‘insolvent’. Ultimately there needs to be a solution that settles every debt or an administration, that still leaves a buyer needing £20M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely judgement on that will heavily depend on what happens over the next few days...if Ken sells it then you can legitimately argue that inspite of all his antics he has done a job of keeping us going and selling to hopefully a more stable position. If he doesn't sell and we enter admin or worse then that is not the case...Eddie managed to keep us out of admin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Custodiet Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 If KA and son have taken out more than £650K in 2018 (which I expect may be the case) he would only have also earned a profit on his shares if he was handing us over in an improved position or to someone with deep pockets who would ensure an improved position. Neither seems to be the case, so I could not argue that he has earned a profit on his shares. If I was part of the FV team, I'd be doing everything in my power to maximise available funds for the benefit of the company and not Ken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
