Good luck. you may well be right Howard, but if the 'evidence' that's inspired the first sentence of your return is that Bassini's 'discovered' anything, you've as much credibility as he has.

I had the Custard bloke down as Aldridge. Maybe they are the same. Both pro Anderson and both disappeared so you never know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They chose that game to strike to make a point. They’d of played it next week in my opinion as they’ve agreed to played the forest game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They knew how tight the window was to play the game after Forest and the fact it would have required special agreement. They had no intention of playing it whatsoever, once again ripping the fans off who have already paid for their season tickets etc. Nice symmetry I suppose but either way they can fuck right off.

Zicolee Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Players going on strike seems to have polarised opinion along the lines of that other clusterf**k that is Brexit - interested to see what reaction will be towards the players on Sunday, more so if Forest start to run away with it?

Howardroark Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 Just now, Pricey said: @Howardroark what is your take on all this, what do you expect to happen going forward? Thanks Well, the issue is quite simply that Moonshift hold significant secured and unsecured debt, as I have said all along, this prevents them from seeking administration unless a new buyer is willing to make an offer to buy out of administration at a higher level than the required EFL threshold. At this juncture there is no financial benefit to them of putting the club in to administration as liquidation would deliver a similar or perhaps better return on the outstanding amounts. I believe that the best option at this stage is for somebody to take the route of acquiring the Moonshift debt (secured and unsecured) immediately putting the club in to administration and buying back at the EFL threshold. This will still take a figure north of £25M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully local buyout with support from unibol, council and trust with a sensible business plan would suit me. Is that a possible saviour? I believe that there are a number of creditors supporting various bidders, but at present there exists reticence due to the potential points deduction(s). Given the costs involved, it doesn’t make financial sense for anybody now to take on. As a point of comparison, look at the expenditure of Salford over the past 4 years versus the £40M you’d need to just acquire and sustain BWFC in its current guise.
