someone said on bookface that there was no garentee we can run till end of season a cause the club is so unstable. not sure if true

 

Difficult to see how it would continue unless sale is agreed, for one we’ve not got enough players to get us through and there’s no income into the club, if deal does not go through we will most likely liquidate.

If FV are the ONLY preferred bidder left standing for the Hotel, could they now be renegotiating the purchase price from  Quantuma, is that possible?

I thought it was a sealed bids 

So surely your offer is your offer? You don’t get it accepted then re negotiate it surely

It’s been reported a number of interested parties for hotel.

Agree we haven’t enough players, particularly playing 2 games a week, but not true to say no income.  As I understand it, we have had:

Money from PL/EFL TV pot

Whatever we got for Magennis and Connell (not a lot)

Gate receipts from the Coventry game

Our share of the Rochdale gate and No doubt some money for being knocked out in R1.

Not suggesting any of that is enough but it is income.

I should of said virtually no income, certainly not enough to get us through this season.

There aren't many other ways of getting money in.

Transfer fees are an unknown quantity, and events will help, but I'd guess there aren't many booked because of the state of the club.

Needs sorting quickly.

If the takeover continues to be drawn out , is it possible that creditors like HMRC could apply for the club to be liquidated

14 pages to go - we can do this 😉

Not unsecured creditors.

A majority of secured creditors (based on how much security they hold) could vote to do that though.

That's the only reason I joined - I've therefore got to be 15's at least.

If you’re offering 2,000/1 on me, I’ll stick around

So you're not a fan of Benny, but no need to get personal. I think he's alright. 😀
