Yes

Agree, it's the worst race to bet on but it is a spectacle to watch so you have to support a few (and see them get knocked out one by one): THE PACKAGE (16/1) MADISON DU BERLAIS (50/1) NICHE MARKET (20/1)

Four weeks from now is close to the end of the season - Does anyone know when agreeing a CVA impacts next season's points (if rejected)? Also, isn't second guessing the pence in the pound going to risk losing the interested party if too high (nobody went for the £5m exclusivity), or will he base the value as just a bit higher than liquidation of the company?

Yes, but they don't necessarily have to pay it all in one go, it is part of the CVA, hence they get to vote on it.

From this link: http://www.mightyleeds.co.uk/seasons/200708part1.htm "Among those voting against were HMRC, the Football League, Gerald Krasner, Melvyn Levi, Simon Morris, Kevin Blackwell and David Healy. The margin of success was £70,683 on a total vote of £36.1m and it would have taken only a couple of parties to change their vote for the deal to have been blocked." So Gaydamak is key to the CVA with ~30% block vote. The buyer could get away with paying a pitance only leaving any investigation (if there is to be one) into financial irregularities to a points deduction.

Is it right to exclude the football debt as it still has to be repaid somehow and that is what a CVA is for. I'm sure I remember when Leeds came through Admin the players owed money had a vote.

I think the opposite, the main parties haven't addressed the ONE issue that BNP has and that is immigration itself. This has caused a vacuum in the immigration debate which the BNP are happy to fill with their version of the state of britain to fuel (IMHO) fear and prejudice of the minorities. If the main parties actually engaged in the debate there would at least be choices for people to decide on based on more balanced and varied information on the topic.

Not when you count the numerous local and european elections. It seems there is around one every year!

Maybe it's from the January sales of Begovic and Kaboul but that pot must be empty by now if it was also used for January and February wages. From those figures, anyone wanting to buy the club will have to agree to pay £25m football related creditors, possibly another £14m if HMRC doesn't dispute Portpins secured status before offering x pence in the pound to the unsecured creditors. Future income is 2x£16m parachute payments and ~£3m million in PL prize money and FA Cup income. Say player sales fetch a generous £14m. That then leaves around £10m to settle with the unsecured creditors amounting to ~£60m (max of 16p in the £) without dipping into their own pockets which they would have to to buy players after the exodus of most if not all the first teamers. They would then be relying on the season's income to match outgoings just to stablise the club's finances without adding to the debt.

That's the longest book I've ever read with more twists than a twisty thing, all I want now is a happy ending!

Doesn't that paint a picture, Celtic, a major force in scottish football, who usually qualify for the CL group stages had to recoup millions rather than spend them. Who would have thought they would chance a multimillion bid to prise away a league one player for a chance at getting to the CL group stages.

Celtic are skint so they didn't spend anything. They signed an 18yr old from Motherwell for an undisclosed fee and a dutch defender for £1.8m. They probably recouped £5m+ with the sale of MacDonald, Fox, Caldwell and Robson.
