Van der MoodHoover Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 Maybe deals aren't done in football in the same way but I'd have thought that a "Heads of Terms" document would have been signed ages ago which provides the contractual basis for the deal to complete. Importantly, such a document would set out what moneys are due by when so that being in default of that gives Mel is "out" clause without any further legal wrangling. Very odd scenario we're in at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee SCREAMER !! Posted January 19, 2021 Share Posted January 19, 2021 It appears our opponents on Saturday are up poo creek as well. Looking to get there 42 million fine reduced for hammering FFP in 2014. Already reduced i assume as it was 70 million. Appealing to other championship chairs to agree to it due to Covid revenue loss. Good luck with that one. Might take the heat of us for a bit . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbles Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 We’re actually ducked, aren’t we? Looking at it, unless Sheikh Khaled & Co. pay up, then we’re going to be in financial limbo for atleast 1-2 months minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
one_chop Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Either which way this 'takeover' goes I think things are rapidly approaching closure now. No way can this continue. Too many newspapers and news broadcaster's are asking questions on a near hourly basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like you to want to spin a negative vibe? but you’re probably right. Can we now look forward to daily “we’re going into administration” messages instead of the previous “the takeover isn’t happening” rinse and repeat?

What makes you think MM would let us go into administration, rather than just pump a few extra quid in/sell a few players to keep us afloat then wait for another buyer?

Shaftesbury Street Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 This is WhatsApp mates of mates , so could be absolute waffle, but it makes sense to me so thought I'd share. So Sheik Khaled was actually propped up by a consortium of middle Eastern construction tycoons under the BZG umbrella and then used a couple of European football finance power houses to set up Derventio holdings and give credibility to the deal (the same people that helped with the takeover of Villa). The deal was agreed on the 24th, but the consortium backed out. The Sheik still wants to go ahead but he no longer has the cash and is looking for funds elsewhere. Mel is also looking elsewhere but its looking more likely that Mel will have to put up some of his personal wealth/sell assets to keep the club going until it happens as no company will provide a loan when there is no longer a takeover on the cards and no revenue in the club. Unless of course you borrow against an asset (the stadium for example.......) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I think it's time now for Mel to give an interview and let fans know where the club stands. You can't carry on with players not paid. Imo we have potentially a good young manager but if we are not careful he will be gone...... Very worrying times.
