    They don’t become free agents, their registration passes to the EFL who will sell them to pay football debts. 

    Are you sure curb? Surely liquidation would automatically terminate a player's contract and the player becomes a free agent and therefore entitled to sign for another club?

    Just to add to the above, I spoke to a West Ham fan yesterday and he said when Upton Park was sold they sold every seat for £400. That’s £12 million right there for Clowes or MM to dip their snouts into. On top of that, all they did to UP and Highbury is make the pitch into gardens and turn the stands into luxury flats, so no expensive clearance costs either.

    In short, it’s a very good investment for a redeveloper and where the money is in this whole saga, I’m afraid.

    Ah but there were clearance costs because the stands were demolished to make way for those awful blocks of flats. Just part of one stand remains. At least the Boleyn pub on the corner is still there.

    You are correct. I was just testing.

    (full disclosure, I always thought the Middle East was part of Africa, Wikipedia thinks differently). 

    Middle East, the lands around the southern and eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea, encompassing the Arabian Peninsula, and Iraq and Iran and sometimes beyond. The central part of this general area was formerly called the Near East,  (Britannica).   Having worked quite a bit in Qatar, UAE and Kuwait, they certainly think of themselves as part of the Middle East (or Mid East if you’re American)

    Never heard of the term ?

    From t’interweb

    The Mandela Effect is a 2019 science fiction horror film written and directed by David Guy Levy, starring Charlie Hofheimer as a father grieving for the loss of his daughter. The character becomes obsessed with facts and events that many people remember incorrectly.

    Ahhh you remember chip fat, When there was nowt else left in the pantry in the 60s and you'd make do with a poor mans dripping sandwich with salt, No fridge of freezer in them days, Liquid in the summer solid fat in the winter, All on the...Thrall ?  

    Mmm, a dripping sandwich. I preferred a lard sandwich with lots of salt, or a ketchup sandwich with sugar. Washed down with a Vimto. Not very healthy but I’m still around ?

    Could be, but there must surely be their professional body in the first instance. There’s the bar council and the law society for lawyers .. What is it for insolvency practitioners ?  That port of call comes before the ombudsman I would have thought ? 

    Try Googling. It’s all there

    Yes, but i did say if we were eventually sold to them i would not go anymore. You dont mind ashley treating his staff like s- - - then, you wouldnt mind him being your boss.

    Think you’ve missed the point of my reply

    What he does is on his conscience not mine, but if he eventually sold our club to them i would be finished football and ive loved the rams since th 60,s so that would be hard to do, but football is not as enjoyable now. Too much playacting, rolling about in agony when nothing wrong with them. Dosnt bother me not being in the prem as long as we watch  the team and coaching staff and fans all together like last season, and i cant see that with MA, but thats only my opinion and i realise that which you dont seem to do.

    Hmm. Sorry but I can’t really see the moral difference between MA selling Newcastle to the Saudis,  and CK playing in a Saudi sponsored golf tournament.
