Ramraiders Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 Front man for some faceless dodgy money men. He is an advisor that advised a club that are actually below us! I really fear how this is going to play out now. I did hear a few weeks back that administration is on its way as Mel is refusing to service any more debt and there are some very large bills on the horizon for the existing finance in place. staying up may be the least of our worries…. ziggyram59 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orphanram Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I’ve tried to retain a balanced view of Mel’s intentions with regard to the sale of the club in the last year. The club has clearly become a burden he wants to free himself from and that’s understandable but I’ve always been on the side of those that believe he wants the best for the club and wouldn’t sell us to a wrong un. My opinion is shifting as it’s looking increasingly like he wants to cut and run. He might have just got to the point where that many people are slating him already that he has made peace with himself about leaving us in the cart and will just get him sen over to his his timeshare in Benidorm when the travel restrictions are lifted David Graham Brown and angieram 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JfR Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 I don't understand how this would mean the deal is dead. Isn't this basically the same thing that the Glazers did at Man Utd and Burnley's new owners have done to finance their takeover?

I honestly think that refusing to facilitate repayments of finance at that level would be grimly destructive for his other business entities and there financial health, as well as a director of ltd companies. If you have a personal fortune of millions and own very expensive fixed assets he won't be able to just refuse to pay. He may have to sell the club at a low rate in order to clear those attached debts should he have had enough as an alternative. The chancer we have at the front of the queue indicates that may be the case. r_wilcockson and David Graham Brown 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramraiders Posted May 5, 2021 Share Posted May 5, 2021 The ground already has a charge against it. Mel has borrowed against the ground too. Now obviously we don’t get to see the terms of the deal but I cannot see Mel walk away that much out of pocket… David Graham Brown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
