  • I saw the truth from the beginning ffs  KA’s job was to balance the books and spin plates till investment came. He’s done that with success so far. It just can’t carry on, we don’t have a Gary Ma

I heard it from someone who has given tips in the past, thought it was worthy of debate or might've been of interest

So, not a popular rumour?

It is in my house

OK, but you definitely inferred otherwise. 

So if he's borrowed it at 'massive interest' why didn't he do it sooner

Because the massive interest would have been even bigger?

Anyone borrowing any amount for just a few weeks will get hit with a larger interest rate than a standard 1-5 year loan 

In fact, you’d struggle to get a bank loan for a month (overdrafts and credit cards a separate thing) 

Let’s say he borrowed £1.5m at a reasonable 3% APR, over the course of 4 weeks that’s only going to net the lender £3,500 in interest. They ain’t going to be fucking about for that are they? 

On the flip side, if Ken borrows £1.5m at 25% APR he’s still only paying roughly £25k in interest over a 4 week period, broadly worthwhile to keep the club going / avoiding a walk out. Put it into context, Ben Amos gets that in a week!!

Just thought I'd spell it out before someone came along who didn't ;)

It WILL get asked somewhere, sadly, especially as Ken is perceived to be taking £12,500 out of the club every week to pay himself and Lee.

That’s of course if he pays it back in 4 weeks.

If popular rumour be believed, our hero has borrowed £1.5m secured against EFL's January money due to Wanderers at what has been described as 'massive' interest rates to cover November and December's wage payments to staff and players.

soon expect you to post a fishing emoji 

what i like with these popular rumours is the belief that anybody who actually knows the rates is going to blab

I'm ITK and it's 75% APR

Bloke in the pub told me as he lent it to KA 

And all the tellys round the ground are from Brighthouse who want paying 

I'm off to put that on Twitter. Sad thing is people will believe it 

Latest from Shortland on Facebook:

Philip Shortland Anderson has more than a dozen bankrupt businesses behind him, he was banned from running companies for ten years and has previous for selling dodgy motors. He didn’t achieve any of this because he’s good at making money.

 

Wonder if he has a good lawyer.

It'd be interesting to see what the running costs per month are now compared to when KA/DH first got involved.

He can't substantiate his claims

Ps feed the world.......

Can't find the offending post now. Maybe he's seen that I quoted him on here. If he did, he'll also see this:

Would you care to name the "more than a dozen" businesses he's lost?

Apparently Ken was also banned from being a director for an 'unprecedented' ten years

He's an absolute cockend
