I thought you already told Chris your source?

He told me the direct source of information he put out on WW. He did not say who provided it to him. Very different matter.

1. You seem to be alleging something very serious, Howard. Have you reported this to the EFL or any other authority and if so when?

2. It was a simple question, Howard

Custard, the only offence would be wilfully taking on credit without any intention to repay , this is almost impossible to prove.  

Im not questioning the simplicity of it, but you must know that one doesn’t burn a source.

Yes, was slightly delayed though as the initial funding (to Moonshift) wasn’t straight cash.

Where was the funding coming from originally, if not fully cash? And is it all straight cash now the full deal no loans?

If what you are alleging is  true, it is serious and should be brought to the attention of the EFL for investigation along with the general issues raised by  Chris Green MP.

3. Do you realise this is the last place to keep you around? Banned or blocked from everywhere else. I'd wind your fuckin' neck in, Custard

It’s not an EFL matter & do you truly believe they would ever allow KA to become the focus of a probe when they approved him, despite his past?

Giving the majority of our players a contract is pretty fucking extraordinary

Probably zero in fees, but a tasty retainer to a L Anderson

Not an EFL matter. Are  you an authority on that too?

Given the level of player and the value of contracts, the agents fees are unlikely to have been of significant interest. 

Sponsorship fees is an entirely different story (looking at you, UniBol).

The EFL have set in place their guidance for what is and isn’t their remit. Non-payment of debts (which is all this is) is only their issue if it leads to a punishable insolvency event. 

Thats not to say HMRC and or SFO might not want to take a peak, but not an EFL matter.

No so he would go to the factoring company and say “I’m due £6m over 12 months”.

The factoring company pay out say £5.8M.m immediately, KA pockets this, possibly putting some back in to the club as a ‘loan’, possibly not.

The buying club pays every 6 months, this goes in to the club accounts as expected, but isn’t used to pay down the debt. 

Fairly easy to see how he profits from that scenario.

 

 

This seems to be the basis of an allegation that, if true, should be investigated

So go and investigate, the company’s in question are in the public domain as their transfer fee factoring is used by a number of clubs.

Nope. Complete the takeover first. The truth of the allegations can be investigated afterwards. The audited accounts are due for filing by 31 March and though, given the circumstances, there might be a short delay we should not have to wait too long to get a better picture of what actually happened.

If you could cast your mind back to John Galt’s brief time here..... he specifically referenced that the debt was higher than £30M, and that this information had been obtained via forensic accounting. 

To give you an idea, there has been rumours of the unsecured debts being found to be closer to £27M, much higher than  the previously assumed/stated figures.

In which event investigations would be necessary. I'll wait to see the audited accounts first.

Why would someone, if he was in the know or otherwise, allow the name of a secret bidder to be leaked and potentially destroy the deal? More importantly, why would you, as a supposed Bolton supporter, keep badgering him for a name when, if you're as bright as you portray yourself, would know the dangers of a name not currently in the public domain, being leaked just to satisfy your curiosity?

 

Can someone explain this to him please?

Who was John Galt working for ? I dont mean who employs him - on whose behalf was he examining the books ?
