the gunslinger 3,366 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 I dont disagree with that. But you dont know if that was their fault entirely or the fault of others - lest we forget that TBK & Kennedy were in, out, in out so many times that even they didnt know whether they were still in the bidding. they only really pulled out when rebuffed. I am pretty sure on 3 seperate occasions d&p told them they would be named preffered bidder only to back out. I still say immediate cuts should have been made and the business made viable. instead d&p basically put a deadline on our survival and brought us to a point where we either sunk or swam. given time we could have traded to a positoion to make a far better cva offer than we did. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig 5,199 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 It wouldn't have been liquidation though. The PLC still hasn't been liquidated to this day. In which case the SPL could have forced us to continue playing under the oldco's membership. they didnt need to transfer it. oldco still isnt liquidated so they could have told us to play on under the oldco. I dont think they HAD to transfer that membership at all - and we have all seen how obtuse they have been in dealing with us as it is. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the gunslinger 3,366 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 Where's your logic there Zappa? Easy for them to declare all fixtures involving is void if liquidation occured before the season ended. wouldn't that just have meant relegation. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

the gunslinger 3,366 Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 You really think HMRC were going to allow us that time? as opposed to getting a cut of 1 million like they are now. yes of course they would. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were running at an 800k a month loss. What cuts would have been made ? highest earners. And how would we have done that at the time ? We would have had to make them redundant as it was outwith the transfer window. How were we going to trade to that position with no income coming in ? ST's are the major driver and all that cash was gone already. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ceased to become about the money for them, more about making a point and having the chance to investigate our financial meltdown in full to go after individuals. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
