Ram a lamb a ding dong Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 Seriously though I find the incompetence throughout the whole process off the scale. The longer it drags on the club loses more value. None of it makes good business sense. I'm actually at the stage now that I simply don't know how I feel about it all. Frustrated. Infuriated. Astounded. On the pitch the lads have been a credit to the City as have the coaching team. Everyone else in positions of power and influence....................

(if the EFL don't find some sort of objection again) - last time we had everything lined up it was presentted to the EFL meeting and Q intended to announce soon afterwards...... I don’t think we have announced a Pb yet. There seems to have been a hitch with that according to Percy. So the issue is funding til end of season. No doubt some belly aching from other clubs about us getting off lightly , why aren’t we being expelled etc? Which I don’t think we will be unless and until we actually do run out of money. And I don’t think we will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which I don’t think we will be unless and until we actually do run out of money. And I don’t think we will. My gut feeling (based on no actual knowledge or anything), is that it's something along the lines of Quantuma having some kind of agreement with MSD that they can get a loan extension as and when they need it to cover the rest of the season, and they'll draw on it each month to cover costs up until a PB is named. And the EFL are basically saying "that's not good enough, we need to see the money in your accounts for the whole season" and obviously Q are refusing because why would they take out an extra loan when there's no immediate need for it - they'll use it monthly, or a PB will be named and it won't be needed.

They'll be looking to get as much as possible. Given the circumstances, it's pretty much take the offer of 25% or get nothing when liquidated.

I don't think you understand this purchasing/investment lark. A buyer of a distressed asset will be quite keen to see the value driven down. A long term investor (Appleby group or Ashley) really won't worry too much being in League 1 for a season or two. GB SPORTS and LERam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SBW Posted March 3, 2022 Share Posted March 3, 2022 1 hour ago, PistoldPete said: Percy at least reliably relates what EFL tell him. Nixon tends to garble everything whatever the source, but it usually also comes from EFL, as you say. To paraphrase yourself, On what authority is this information you spout from? Sometimes (all the time) I think you come up with an idea in your head and convince yourself it is fact. Then proceed to talk as if it is so. So, what authority are you saying their info is from EFL. I'm not talking about theory. I see you challenge people for bonafide facts, where are yours, for you to talk with such certainty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It suits them both to get inside info from Efl. Whether the Efl , who should not be party to commercial negotiations with potential buyers , are reliable sources of info is another matter.
