Even after proof of funds and fit and proper person nonsense, if any of the debt repayment amounts change then surely that will need negotiating with all the different parties and even then EFL signoff required followed by actually getting the money across. I just can't see how this can be done if the rate of progress of previous deals was even remotely realistic. jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gee SCREAMER !! Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Think with everything so up in the air we are in Bolton territory. Sellable assets on the books leaving to facilitate creditor gap and cover outstanding transfer fees and using u18's/23's to keep wages within the scope of money coming in to cover wages. Probably 20% of the current wage. A good few tonkings up to September/ October when we may be allowed to bring in free agents - probably not the best as that's why they're unattached. Come the following transfer window with proper infrastructure in place we may be able to improve things depending on how desirable our league position is. -15 would probably mean another drop. Without it we'll probably be ok to push on from League 1 in a year. This could change if someone miraculously pulls 30 million out their butt but if that was happening it would have in January when we had a real chance of staying up. The new buyer will probably save 10 million quid in wages they would have spent though so a few million wriggle room now ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big One Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Does anyone know if its business as usual at the club in terms of team affairs or has everyone downed tools? Because if latter and eyes off the ball we will have a bang average team next year. We wont be allowed to spend any money and players wages etc will be capped etc. If there are no targets and ones there were have gone, dread to think what we will end up with.

He's an active man on twitter, then he's just disappeared. He's a coward in my eyes..... if its gone tits up, money not gone through, whatever, just be a man, explain you've messed up and apologise. I don't agree with any abuse he or anyone else gets, but if he just said yeah look, my finances have gone to s***, it won't pass AML, whatever, then he'll get a lot more understanding voices. The worst thing you can do after giving it the biggun, is falling off the face of the earth As I said last week, he is a "no news is bad news kinda guy". He was too vocal, loves the sound of his own tweet, and all of a sudden, nothing. David Graham Brown and LERam 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Appleby is tried and trusted in fronting football investors as we well know. He’s now my first hope simply because we are familiar with him and he is trustworthy after the misery we have been through these past couple of years. I long for some normality.

MackworthRamIsGod Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 With regards to quantuma and there allegedly being up to "8 interested parties". I think this is a tactical move by Q. They know and we know there are 3 realistic options for the club now...Mike Ashley, Morgan and Appleby (if he can find a rich friend). I think the whole, we have loads of interested parties is just a way of saying to Ashley/Morgan, now is your time, put up or p%ss off. I shudder at the thought of Q sifting through 8 credible business plans/bids and giving as many access to data. We will be here until next year.

'Best and final' is that supposed to encourage a high bid. Plus you don't know the cut-off date, or do the bidders? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaltRam Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I reckon we'll be pleasantly surprised how fast things move from here. (Genuinely) I'm calling.....Tuesday 21st June 2022 at 13:05, and Morgan gets it. (Guessing, wildly optimistically) My ITK status comes from the fact that it's sunny, I just saw a blackbird and my Amazon order is late. (Untruthfully) So it's based on just as solid grounds as anything Nixon has shared. (Accurately) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t expect anything before midday though possibly later! Did he mention they were doing interviews today? jimtastic56 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
