Nonsense utter horseshit in fact 

explain how you come to that conclusion? 

Who allowed us to get this twat in charge? It seems the EFL don't do their homework regarding certain owners. We've seen it many times. The EFL need to be looked at. 

Also, it just seems like the administrators have been fucking around from the start. They have kept saying the deal is close and it just keeps going on and on.

Rubins are not at fault here despite the conspiracy theories that are starting to surface. 

They are not in cahoots with anyone and are doing the job correctly. 

They could be accused of having too much faith in FV completing I guess but FV have done what they have been asked to do as I understand it and nobody has made a formal offer for the club other than Bassini since FV were awarded preferred bidder status 

and as we know Bassini hasn’t been taken seriously 

Is it right that FV having preferred bidder status wouldn't prevent other interested parties making an offer?

Cheers.

If it's Mrs Ken, can't see the logic of redacting. Could be another Ken entity, but as you point out would have to be registered to same address as Ken (that said, we don't know if the redacted address is Ken's personal address).

This isn't my field of expertise but the redacted person is one of the borrowers but not the owner, or one of the owners, of ICIL 'the chargor'. Those shares are owned by Ken alone so the redaction on the filed charge document makes sense

But lets put it this way, if you were lending  £5m to a married person on the security of jointly owned matrimonial assets would you be content to have security granted by just one of them? Aside from the requirements of matrimonial property law, couldn't the one you'd lent the money to switch ownership of the assets to their spouse and leave you hanging dry?

I don't think Eddie or his lawyers would have left it that open.

And remember where you didn't read any of this.

I share your pain and views on ken

but much like FV are now he was the only show in town at that time.

the deal has been close a number of times but it isn’t through any fault of the admins that this hasn’t completed. You will need t trust me on that but it’s absolutely true.

Suspect it'll be done at the last possible minute if at all.

Under law unless his wife has agreed to the granting of security of jointly owned assets you can only go after 50% of the value. So unless she’s signed some form of PG and very importantly had Independent legal advice then she won’t be on the hook

All brinkmanship.

Anderson having his last day of fun watching the fans squirm. He wants his last day.

but

it’ll be reet for sure this time.

You can't get away from the fact that someone else is named as one of the borrowers. I suspect she is on the hook and that Eddie would not have lent the money without covering all the possibilities of non-repayment. Would you have?

In any event, if EDT get their money back from Ken its going to have to come out of the matrimonial coffers one way or another.

How much do you reckon the apartment in Monaco is  worth net of any mortgage on it?

Well maybe maybe not 

A conditional offer was accepted by Appleton - dependant on Quantuma accepting his bidders bid for the hotel 

If at 5.01pm tomorrow no deal is done , Quantuma will presumably accept another offer for the Hotel and Appleton might face a few awkward questions 

The structure of this arrangement has invited the participants not to do a deal , to exploit the situation and to rack up administrators costs in the process and thereby put a football club in jeopardy

Let me spell this out Benny. FV were the only bidder at the time they invited offers that fulfilled what was required. Remainder were deemed window shoppers/tyre kickers or just not offering anything like enough to get any of the secured creditors on board. That’s crucially important to note here!

Now FV offer to one side

nobody else other than Laurence Bassini has made an offer for the club since that acceptance. Nobody. Nil. Zero. 

As I think you know anybody can make an offer  whilst an agreement is signed for the sale of the club anyone can make an offer and impart significant pressure and the admins would have then brought the FV purchase to a head sooner and forced them to complete or walk away  

So what do you perceive the admins have done wrong? I really would be interested to know what it is you think they have done.

Been on a good few forums to see what the reaction is throughout the league... it’s safe to say that we are seriously disliked in the main!!

Agree with this. None of the parties want this deal to fall over, even Ken. I get what people are saying about Ken ultimately getting his cash back from a liquidation scenario but how long does that take. The whole liquidation process, the sale of a ground etc., it would be far easier for him to get his money through this current deal.

The problem is that he still has power, still has time (although not much now) and ultimately can play the hard faced “I don’t care about the club so will let it liquidate” card in negotiations when he knows that the other parties care too much to let that happen.

I’m still of the belief that it will all be reet, it will drag to the last possible minute but it will be done!

From iles latest article

"It is understood the club’s administrators have made contact with the BooHoo group since the FV bid stalled on Friday night but, at time of writing, had received nothing back."

Well as I have this to hand from earlier lets start with what was required 

Best and final offers were received from five parties by the 4pm deadline on Wednesday and, after careful consideration, it was clear the preferred bid met every criteria laid down by the Joint Administrators. These included, but were not limited to;

- The highest bid for the club

- Proof and source of significant funding

- Ability to fund the club for a minimum of two years

- Ability to satisfy secured, football and unsecured creditors

- EFL approval

The preferred bidder has also agreed to inject £1million into the club in order to fund the immediate running of the club and the rebuilding of the playing squad ahead of the new season.

Taking each of these in turn 

- The highest bid for the club - DEPENDENT UPON ACQUIRING ANOTHER BUSINESS NOT WITHIN THEIR  CONTROL 

- Proof and source of significant funding - DEPENDENT UPON ACQUIRING ANOTHER BUSINESS NOT WITHIN THEIR CONTROL 

- Ability to fund the club for a minimum of two years - DEPENDENT UPON ACQUIRING ANOTHER BUSINESS NOT WITHIN THEIR CONTROL 

- Ability to satisfy secured, football and unsecured creditors - DEPENDENT UPON ACQUIRING ANOTHER BUSINESS NOT WITHIN THEIR CONTROL 

- EFL approval - fine with that 

So 4 of the 5 main criteria they themselves set were not in their gift and you ask me what have they done wrong ! 

These criteria were not fulfilled as you suggest 

Little wonder we are in the position we are

Just to be the Devil's Advocate for a moment, if the Administrator had already indicated that BWFAC Ltd could not be saved and needed to be liquidated once the football club could be sold off and they had undertaken the sale process for the club and determined that FV along with the others were unable to meet their criteria for sale, wouldn't that mean they had no other realistic option (they had already tested the market) but to liquidate at that point?

Maybe they believed (reasonably) that this was the only option that prevented that happening and with PBP's head claim on the hotel (and James linked to both PBP and LV) was entirely feasible to conclude in a sale.

Dependent - contingent upon.
