Who could have imagined a club in administration needs money because their bills and debts are too high and no one will buy them in such a state.

Why do people entertain this charlatan

Apart from their wage commitments what debts do they have. Anyone know?

All start stacking up when you don’t pay owt or mortgage future kit deals or stadium naming rights. A bloke whose name escapes me should be an expert in the subject matter. He’s was very sweaty

To be fair to him, I think he's just stating the obvious to people who haven't quite grasped what this all means.

From what I have read  they owe about £6 million to unsecured creditors ( largest being Inland Revenue due about £2.5 million  )

and potentially a further £25 million "loaned" via the Far Eastern owners which the administrators are investigating 

If the £25 million far eastern loans are payable then non football creditors would total about £32 million and  someone would have to come up with about £8 million just to satisfy the football leagues  25 % ruling otherwise they get a 15 point deduction next season.

If its not payable then a buyer only has to find 25% of  £6 million ie  £1.5 million - that seems to be the basis on which they are working as the offer they accepted from the bidder who walked away last week paid all football creditors and the £1.5 million to non football creditors 

Not sure what football creditors are - someone else may know  ( Guess £6-£8 million ) ?

Interesting, cheers.

If the loan is counted towards the repayable debt, they really are fecked.  If not they should be ok but one potential lifeline has disappeared with the news about DW sports today.

What are the assets worth though? 

Based on those numbers above you could pay £8m towards non football debts and a further £6m to football so £14m in total 

Doesn’t seem such a high price to pay if it includes the Stadium, Euxton training ground etc - Especially as they have some players that could fetch reasonable money (didn’t they get offered millions for Robinson?) 

Appreciate the football debt will start to rack up in the form of wage deficit each month, you’d expect player sales to help reduce that over the coming months 

Seem to recall anyone buying us needed £25m - £35m with no decent footballing assets left, although monthly losses were a lot smaller (the debt wasn’t growing) 

Not sure it’s quite as bleak as our situation was as things stand

The money to the owner is secured I believe so that needs repaying or he beat the fixed assets being the ground and euxton there is no easy way out of this

Ah ok, that’s the big one then 

At least it was ED family who had the charge on our assets, not some ghost from China
