cosmic Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I know this doesn't mean much yet, but after the week we've had I'm going to enjoy this moment of optimism. HuddersRam, JPRamFan, Jortat and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To see her looking so well at the end is brilliant. I'm in absolute shreds. This club cannot, must not, die.

I suspect this may accelerate eliminating the Middlesbrough /Wycombe issue from the negotiations. So great news. But it still leaves the rest of the creditors. We still don’t know where quantuma really are with them. From what i've read they are interested parties but no formal bids from them as yet. Maybe Kirchner did, not sure.

My guess is a lot of "understanding" and "on the basis that X means y subject to c" sort of agreements that are not solid and won't solidify until things are formalised - hence the deranged demands form Gibson and Couhig to know what they are / imply they're not agreed at all.

They will put up so much additional new red tape and nonsense as part of the fit and proper test that the deal will collapse. That's what they'll do. They'll probably demand proof of cash in a bank account right now to cover the eventuality of Boro & Wycombe winning their claims, rather than just proof of the money to take us over. They'll say they're just ensuring that we don't end up in administration again in 12 months time.

We still don’t know where quantuma really are with them. The wording would suggest that there's a difference between expressing interest, and actually going in with a bid. Sort of like watching an item on a popular auction site vs. clicking bid now. Happy that the offer seems to want to ignore the club claims and be willling to deal with that further down the line. They must be confident in their assessment of the outcome to take the risk. RadioactiveWaste, Jortat and Andicis 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ram59 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 1 minute ago, RadioactiveWaste said: Let's not get carried away. "Full asking price" means matches what's agreed with creditors at present, i.e. matches current best bid in terms of creditors. Leveraged buyout - you don't need to be worth £60m to borrow £60m Taking on the WW/Boro liabilities is significant though - either they've had word on the price to get them to bog off and decided it's acceptable, or, are very very confident in their legal advice. The thing is with the potential WW/Boro liabilities, is that if the new owners were to say 'see you in court', they should be in a 'no lose' situation. Obviously win the case and get your costs paid and also have a case for frivalous prosecution, but should we lose, we would have a cast iron case to bring against QPR, because a dangerous president would have been set, dangerous for football that is.

Just hope that the offer is one that covers everything to avoid the further -15 point penalty. Absolutely agree Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 9 minutes ago, duncanjwitham said: My concern with just shutting it down would be that there seems to be (to me anyway) no way under EFL rules to actually do that. If we exit admin and shut those claims down as part of it, what's to stop them just filing new claims? We know full well that there seems to be no vetting process at all over claims, you can file what you like. So we're gambling on a LAP saying that this claim has already been decided (when it kind of hasn't) to shut it down, and I wouldn't stake £50m on that happening. Let's see get it settled finally, if we can IMO. The EFL can't just dismiss the claims, but they can consider them not to be football creditors, which sends them down to the bottom of the pile next to myself and once the sale goes through it's settled. Anyhow, leave all that for the other topic than get in the way of everyones Friday party in here, the administrators would be foolish not to take this offer on the table now, pack their bags before they change their mind on the bid than go down that path. They would be just as stubborn as Gibson which you would assume is highly unlikely. Never expected anyone just to take them on head to head, unfortunately though it doesn't give us the clear slate we all wanted, we would be in for months of headlines as it goes back and forth.....but we will have a club and thats the main thing right now.

Animal is a Ram Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 (edited) I'd be interested to know what their plan is with the stadium in the longer term, if this is true then I'd assume they would be content with paying the rent.

Fine by me. It'll be all the sweeter when we take their claims on and they get laughed out of the room. RadioactiveWaste and Malty 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duncanjwitham Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 So that's £28m to cover HMRC/other creditors, and then they presumably pay Morris £20m for the stadium which clears the MSD debt? *If* that's the case, it sounds pretty good to me.
