    I reckon the June wage payment is going to be a good story. From what Nixon said, it looked like it was a loan underwritten by Kirchner. 
    I wonder who actually paid it? I really hope it wasn't Rooney - if there's one person that doesn't deserve to be shafted, it's him.

    Hard to know what to believe about Kirchner. 
    It's very difficult to think that a man who has passed all the tests and has the required 20 odd million, can't actually get transfer the money from the US to here...but it's not something I've ever tried.
    The obvious conclusion is that either he hasn't sent it or the 'check' has come back positive. But Nixon is adamant that the monet will arrive and Quantuma appear to still consider him a bidder. It's all very strange. 
    Counterintuitively, I reckon the longer it goes on, the more likely it is to be Kirchner.

    I wonder if you actually 'know', or was that such a lucky random coincidence?
    I think you'll find it was the son of the son of God...who is actually one of Mostyn's mates.

    The figures don't make sense unless HMRC are also squeezed. Without them, the difference between 10% and 25% to the unsecured creditors is less than £1m - which no one is going to take -15 for.

    Yes, I would bet my life savings on that. 
    No one is going to look to save £800k when it puts the club in an instant relegation fight. It would devalue the asset by many more times.
    It would be the equivalent of saving a fiver on a PS5 game in the full knowledge that the version you were buying was going to damage your console and require at least £50 to repair it.

    Forgive me for barging in on your messageboard but I come in peace as a Bury fan. I have never posted on another club’s board before, this could be my first and last time. 
    Firstly, the very best of luck. In cases like this it’s the fans, the innocents in all this, who suffer. We feel your pain, we too have been through the mill and beyond. 
    Bury FC, the original club, were kicked out of L1 (having just won promotion) by the EFL in late August 2019,  about 3 weeks into the new season, our first half dozen fixtures were postponed so there was no record to expunge. The club was subsequently placed into administration. It remains in administration to this day but is effectively just a shell, awaiting ultimate liquidation with debts of over £12M. 
    If scenario 1 above had happened we would have been reinstated at tier 6 in the pyramid. It didn’t, scenario 2 happened, and a “Phoenix” club called Bury AFC was formed by the fans and funded by the fans. It was admitted into tier 10 of the pyramid, the lowest level under FA auspices. Last season, the first full covid free season, it won promotion losing only one game. The highest home crowd was 1,885, not huge but enormous in a league where 100 or so is the norm. We ground share with Radcliffe AFC, another non league club within the borough of Bury. 
    Bury AFC is not of course strictly speaking a Phoenix, but is referred to as such for ease of reference. It carries probably about 60pc of the original fan base. Not everyone has got on board but the majority have. The vibe is brilliant, partly as we are successful on the pitch of course, so never be afraid if this is your fate (it won’t be), you would still have a gas in “non league”, there are so many pluses compared to the EFL which make the match day experience highly enjoyable;  and with your fanbase you would quickly climb back up the pyramid. 

    A highly unexpected turn of events happened more recently when a very small group of Bury fans emerged from nowhere with no mandate from anyone, but having apparently got strong connections with the Conservative Party. With the help of a wealthy businessman-fan now living in the USA, and with the financial help of the government which has provided up to £1M of matched funding (“levelling up”?), and the potential help of the (Labour) council, that group of fans (calling themselves Est 1885, the date of the founding of the original club) managed to buy the ground Gigg Lane, which had been subject to a charge for a loan of some £3.5M, and had fallen into a state of some disrepair. So Est 1885 have a ground but no football club, and Bury AFC are a football club with no ground (of their own). Talks are ongoing between the two with a view to a merger down the line. 
    A word about the EFL. Yes as useless as a chocolate teapot but presumably facing the chop or severe reform following the government’s fan-led review. Remember the EFL is in essence the 72 clubs - it gets its power from the clubs, maybe it is useless because the clubs have only ever favoured light-touch regulation of themselves for obvious reasons, so have never given the EFL the powers it really needed to provide effective governance. 
    So the very best of luck and whatever happens - there is no need to despair.
