Sorry hypo, but there is some ******** in that list. Please don't scaremonger as them being FACT. Start with number 6...... He hasn't ..........FACT

Saint Donkey, Any offer won't get close to paying off the debt. Not meeting the creditors valuation is a different story, but if they get close to something near 30p in the pound they will be doing well. Given our relegation and starting on minus ten next season, it could even be half of that. There are no assets of any value to sell, so I'm pretty sure this will simply go to the "Highest" bidder

LOL i remember that....nearly cost his place.....lets hope it was his other brother

You could program Mark Frys number into speed dial, if we started to pay 12k a week in league 1

He will do a deal soley to the benefit of the creditors. If that means no more SFC, but more money to the creditors, then that's what he will take.

Gm, it might well be you are right, i don't know enough about it, but if we can't sell them ahead of the transfer window and we are liquidated before then, who is going to recieve a fee? We would be in breech of contract, if we hadn't paid them and i just can't see why they wouldn't be allowed to sign on for someone else. Also right at the bottom of that article.... ‘If someone regards players as a merchandise with a monetary value, whose value may in some cases even be included in the balance sheet, he does so at his own risk

For £13 the answers in there, but if you read the summary bit at the bottom, it would suggest you are wrong (ALthough it does go back to the Bosman ruling and obviously finance in football has changed since then) http://emeraldinsight.com/Insight/viewContentItem.do?contentType=Article&hdAction=lnkpdf&contentId=1656150&history=true&StyleSheetView=all

With the exception of a time machine, what facts will ever prove you correct? It's completely subjective. You posted yesterday (And to be fair on many other occassions) that "It is a fact Hoddle, would have kept us in the Premiership" It is not a fact, it's not close to being a fact, it's just your opinion and given his failings after he left us, it looks to be a flawed one.

But if we went bust before the transfer window opened, surely they have a right to sign a new contract with someone else and if the club / SLH is no longer trading then there's no fees invloved? (That's a question, not a statement)

I can't see the creditors getting anywhere near what is owed to them. If the club is liquidated, then the players become free agents and move without fees. Which leaves the assets, as ST Mary's which has a charge over it from Aviva, so any offer they don't find acceptable they can reject and keep it for redevelopment or whatever, Jacksons farm, which is what, all of a million quid without planning permission? And some of the land at Staplewood. .... Add those up and you probably have just covered the administration fees, leaving the creditors with naff all, so i just can't see its in their interests to go down that path. There is also something in the Barclays debt, that UM Pahars mentioned a while ago that still doesnt make sense, in terms of their confidence and position in effectively putting 4 million on the line, by forcing administration. Apart from insuring the debt, could they have done anything else (That we don't know about) to ensure they get paid in full or have first dibs at the pot? If it is insured they won't really care how much in the pound they get from us, if their insurers make up the rest. That ulimately leaves Aviva, as to get our CVA we only have to get 70% of the total debt agreed by the creditors, so it woldnt really matter if the inland revenue play ball or not.

Why? The goals are still the same size and your still allowed goal keepers in League 1

I was told (And no idea how true or even if at all) that the Council and Solent University will buy the stadium (Not the club) together, if no other buyer could be found. Not something they particulary want to do, but there as a last straw

Thursday

Ouch ....please no

No, they don't and only own a part of Staplewood itself

And as we have seen, neither does being a PLC. Having said that, i am not against the idea of being a PLC, more but the fragmented shareholding, that makes investment impossible.

Yep, so if true, anything owing shouldn't be too chunky. Weston Saint, mentioned a few months ago he didn't think they were a big creditor

Is that on the total that is owed or the % agreed

If lowe or lowes consortium have the best bid - they win, it's as simple as that. Whilst Mark Fry may have a passing interest in what happens to us, his single biggest priority is to the creditors and to get as much as he can for them. If offer "A" is 15 million with a host of well conneced people all pledging money for transfers etc, with the intent of getting promotion etc and making sure the club survive. If offer "B" is 18 million, with the intention of letting jacksons farm to passing gypsys, turn Staplewood into allotments and St Mary's into a drive in cinema ...................offer B wins

Actually if you read this thread all the way through, it gets close to being a proper football thread......no seriously, novel it may be and quite possibly a first for TSW. Why did lowe have to leave? I bet we get 100's more boring old football threads now.... the ruddy faced tosser

Play it backwards at a slow speed- tells you how much each bid is and whose going to win and which one lowe is linked to

Just heard the report and all it really said was that he was holding talks with them today. I would guess that they are this 3rd bidder that has suddenly appeared and playing catch up with the other two, although they did say there may be some more news later today.
