That being said, the issue for ED Trustee’s (Moonshift) is that by putting the club in to administration they expose themselves to significant risk of being personally responsible for some of the debt. Fraudulent trading (essentially taking funds/services with no clear intent to repay) removes the protection of LTD company status. Given that a significant portion of their outstanding balance is owed by KA (ICI) and not BWFC, there is no financial reasoning for them to force administration. Good afternoon Howard Firstly his email address is in the public domain - i am just saving people the hastle of finding it here https://www.legal500.com/firms/3121/offices/444/lawyers/52213 Secondly the clock it ticking towards midnight and we might not have a football club to support if we all sit idly by and do nothing Thirdly there may indeed be no financial reasoning for them to force administration but given the fact that Eddie Davies was their client I would say morally at least they ought to ..

The waiving of £70M-£150M ended any moral or legal obligation that the Davies family have to the club, they have done enough and they shouldn’t be made to feel that they haven’t if they choose not to act in a certain manner.

I’m not having a go, I just don’t like that it comes down to ED trustees yet again, they thought they were rid two years ago. In my opinion the person who stands head and shoulders above any other in respect of the blame game is Dean Holdsworth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn’t their mess. When you take ownership of a football club you have a moral obligation to ensure that you hold it on trust for the supporters of the club and when you pass it on to others to do likewise you have an obligation to ensure that such persons are fit and proper persons In that respect , taking all the millions Eddie put into this club aside for a moment , he failed in his obligations to us the supporters and whether they like it or not the Davies family have a moral obligation to rectify that error , or otherwise to know that Eddie was instrumental in instigating its downfall and if it does go under sadly that will be the contribution to the history of BWFC for which he will be remembered That is why Keir Gordon should act Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you don’t think the Davies family will/should put the club in admin but you’re 100% that we won’t be liquidated. It doesn’t leave us with many options other than Ken or HMRC putting us into admin. We know that Ken putting us into admin could mean Bassini causing a fuss and why would HMRC fund admin, doesn’t make financial sense? so where’s the 0% chance of liquidated coming from?

I was not in using the words fit and proper referring to the EFL test - anyone it seems can pass that test ( well almost ) When ED loaned monies to KA in respect of the Blue Marble Fiasco , he did so by putting charges over the BWFC group companies and over ICI , so that in the event that KA defaulted on that loan he had a mechanism in place by which he could regain control of the club That was his doing reflecting his wishes Sadly he is no longer with us to speak for himself and those left behind to carry out his wishes have thus far let him and the club and its supporters down But judgement day is tomorrow Edited May 6, 2019 by Benny The Ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted May 6, 2019 Site Supporter Share Posted May 6, 2019 I find it difficult to accept Ed's family have a great deal of responsibility now. Whatever mistakes he may have/have not made is open to debate and we're a long time ago. Moreover, the bloke was still funding ken when it wasn't his responsibility to so. Only a couple of people to look at now. Hopefully, moonshift will do right by us, if only because ed would want us looked after. One thing for sure, folk slagging ed off isn't going to help in this regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
