Yes he’s stumped up for Gibson (too late imho) and he’s been giving us the stadium rent free. the reason is: the alternative might be liquidation - because if we are destined for league 1 with -15 it’s quite possible buyers go elsewhere. And unless he’s had some catastrophic loss of wealth I think he’ll pay what it takes to keep us out of liquidation. Unfortunately for him that might not be lost on the bidders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that means the new buyer owes Mel about 600k in rent not paid. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RodleyRam Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 It occurred to me that the Admins might be South African and will shortly replace the phrase 'imminently' with some form of 'now'... See below for reference. I fear we are in 'Just now' territory... kevinhectoring and David Graham Brown 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to back this up at all, but I've long wondered if Ashley (or any 'bidder') might want Mel to cover the Administrators' fees - perhaps through a 'discount' on buying the stadium? It's one of those: "they are clearing up your mess; so you pay for it' kind of thoughts.

duncanjwitham Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 So what do people actually want the admins to do? If they're waiting on answers from the bidders, then they can't give a definite timeline for how quickly they respond, it's out of their hands. The alternate options are: Just pick a bidder now, and risk it all falls through if there's something in there that's unacceptable to the creditors. Don't forget that Wigan went through 4 preferred bidders before they left admin. We cannot afford for that to happen to us, or we're dead. Set a hard deadline for responses and risk missing out on a 'better' bid for the sake of few hours/days. Do you *really* want a bidder announcing in a few days time that he'd been rejected despite putting in a much better offer because their legal team missed a deadline by 3 hours?

PistoldPete Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Bidders seeking clarity and admin meeting Efl this week. I wonder if the two are connected. Will we get any more penalty points? That is something a potential bidder would need to know surely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't here this bit. Maybe another 15 point deduction is on the cards then. Or maybe we won’t have any players left for next season. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not the bidders seeking clarity, it's the admins seeking clarify *from* the bidders. r_wilcockson and Hector was the best 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
