It's been suggested in the 'Devlin Resigns' thread (on the Adver site) that the current board may announce on Thursday that they have negotiated the rescheduling of the CVA with HMRC. I know we are not privy to the dealings that may be taking place behind the scenes, but I would be amazed if HMRC would be prepared to accept a rescheduling of the repayment if they were aware that Bill Power was sitting in the wings with a credible takeover proposal. This would enable HMRC to receive their cash on time and negate the need for a rescheduling exercise.
Would someone from the Trust be able to confirm the following points?
1. Has there been any communication with HMRC to notify them of the current situation at STFC? Is HMRC aware of the takeover bid and is it aware that STFC would be able to settle its liability on time (negating the need for a rescheduling of the repayment) if the takeover was successful?
2. Has there been any communication with the Football League? Is the Football League aware that a successful takeover would result in STFC having a viable future at the County Ground (negating the possible ‘need’ for a relocation to Chippenham)?
If the current board can be wrong footed on these two points, their business plan could be severely weakened...and we might just be treated to the delightful spectacle of the board begging Bill Power to take over. I just hope those in the know have done their homework.

Interesting. I knew some of this already, but my first question comes at this from a slightly different angle.
I'm not really asking what would happen if HMRC agreed to the rescheduling of the CVA. I'm asking whether HMRC is aware of the Bill Power/Phil Emmel bid - because this would most probably persuade them not to agree to the rescheduling in the first place. The current board would then be screwed.

For a start I am sure that both HMRC and the FL are aware of the current situation as it is so much in the public domain.
My personal feelings are that the situation is being "viewed from afar" to see how situation develops.

My personal feelings are that the situation is being "viewed from afar" to see how situation develops. MY dad has been to a council meeting and posted the following on the trust site. With the club declaring that they are trying to renegotiate the CVA payments, I asked the question at the Council Cabinet meeting tonight, if the council had been approached about this. The short answer is NO! And according to Councillor Nick Martin, lead Member for finance, they would not countenance any change in the payment due. They stated that the payment for 2006 has been missed and that Hacker Young are meeting with the club tomorrow (8/2/07) to discuss this. The Council are due approx £100,000 in the last CVA payment due in June this year. Tony N |

Cheers Tails.
Would that have any bearing on the situation if HMRC accepted the renegotiated CVA?
Does it work on a majority vote system or do all creditors have to agree to the new terms?
Even still the phrase pissing on your own doorstep springs to mind.

If the council won't consider renegotiating because it is public funds that are due then I think you can guess what HMRC's attitude will be...
