Southampton were sold for £100 million in cash and the new buyer another east European assumed £105 million of debt so the effective sale price was £205 million, also of note was that some of that debt was owned by MSD

Exactly all these figures bandied around when clubs get bought are quite random. £30 milion for Derby could mean anything but the cost to a buyer is likely to be much more than that, which is why Kirchner has been outbid.

HMRC will agree a payment plan based on a 40% up front payment of what's agreed with a two year payment plan to follow.  Other creditors -rightly or wrongly will agree less.  Football creditors will push for more. 30 million will probably swing it with payment plan unless Morris wants some.  Wouldn't be surprised to see a couple go for frees- big earners to make the wage bill manageable on a monthly basis  and others - cash to reduce liability prior to the finalising of a sale.  Think that was obvious from December though.  It will be tight though and for the next few years it will be loans and frees if that's the best offer.

Under HMRC rules all preferred creditors have to be paid the same and cannot choose the option of not paying one creditor in preference to another. The administrators don't have to sell to anyone unlike what some people on here think. They will also want to know in great detail the plans for payment going forward including a CVA. If the administrators don't think the proposal is workable it will be rejected If that shows that outgoings are going to exceed incomings. They will not want to see the club entering administration in the future due to lack of due diligence on their part.

HMRC don't make the rules on insolvency.

They certainly had varying degrees of payments based on the creditors reports I worked with albeit 10 years ago.  If we get an acceptable bid for any player in order to reduce liability they will go, if an entity has an asset that can reduce liability and allow payment to be reduced prior to plan being agreed, that's it.  Even then, any plan will be under 3 monthly review to see if payments can be increased and this will be a caveat of any plan with HMRC debt of this size.

Oh yes the admin team have to cut costs. We do have 16 players out of contract in the summer, which will be one way of cutting costs.

When i said the administrators don't have to sell to anyone i was referring to the club not players.

Mmmm lets see HMRC a government department,who makes the laws?.

 

No HMRC do not make laws. If they did they would have been preferred creditors long before now. The admin team has to act in the interests of  all creditors not just HMRC. If HMRC act against the interests of other creditors or even against their own interest, then the admin team will just have to navigate around that.

The HMRC won't act against the interest of other creditors or their own interest as for being preferred creditors that is why a change in the law came about. Yes the administrators will have to navigate around that but that may not be viable financially.
