I like the way you used the word bid like there are a gaggle of potential buyers fighting each other to pay for the debts which Morris saddled the club with jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted March 13, 2022 Share Posted March 13, 2022 32 minutes ago, Tyler Durden said: Given that our material assets equate to the square root of bugger all it's hardly surprising that we don't have investors kicking our door down wanting to pay to take on board existing debts that Morris welched on before he chucked the club into administration The biggest material asset we have is the "Golden Share". This is a financial liability to any owner, unless the club is in the Premier League - in which case it becomes either a benefit or double the liability, dependent upon how the club is run.

But until your really really really I'll you dont know what it is like to owe money dont have but in mel case he clearly has the money but all these thing are factores. Possibly the reason he came back to "sort Gibson out" was that it was against him and not the club,there is a possibility MM didn't want his dirty washing aired in public which it would have if it had got as far as court hearings.

I think quite honestly he wants to get as much back from the club as he possibly can hence why he threw the club into administration to absolve himself from the debts which he recklessly racked up.

Well if this season has shown young rams can step in at times if the club was not in state it is in. Then some of these would been sent out on loan to lower league club.

EFL is to blame not only for failure to deal with Gibbo but also failure to deal with Morris (except retrospectively which actually only made things worse) .
