If Deloitte resigned in June why was resolution 6 ("6. To re-appoint Deloitte LLP as auditors") voted on and passed at the AGM in December?

 

Resolutions 1 & 7 were also related to the auditors ("1. To receive and adopt the audited accounts" and "7.To authorise the Directors to determine the remuneration of the auditors").

It is difficult to escape the conclusion that they were not comfortable with the then directors assurances about the going concern basis and it is equally difficult to escape the conclusion that they were correct.

 

I believe I alluded to this likely outcome at the time.

If it was the going concern issue, then they were not correct as we are still trading and would continue to do so for the next 12 months, whether under the old board or the new one.

 

I think that it is more likely a more general distrust of the directors ad they just felt that they were dishonest, and not specifically in respect of going concern. They would not want to be auditors of a company where they don't believe the directors. In addition the general presence of the Easdales may have had an influence.

Yet another reason to sack Llambias and Leach without any payoff.

 

i think this is the boards idea here, giving out enough evidence of their unscrupulous verging on criminal behaviour. Not to mention the massive failings in fiduciary duties to the club. Also the clear bias towards Ashley and Sports Direct, their sacking is warranted for the loaned players alone, before we get to the onerous contracts.
