I don't think it is a concern. If we wake tomorrow to find players sold, and/or a takeover breakdown then I'll be concerned.
I'm concerned. |

Great way for the new owners to get the fan base onside. Sell your best player for about half of what you turned down a few months ago, it's Fjortoft all over again. Oh well, the last 18 months were fun  |

Morshead doesn't seem to know what he is talking about. He said our stadium was being used as leverage but as far as i know we don't even own it. Where is he getting his info from?

Fuck. This. Shit.
What a monumental fucking disgrace selling at that price - Can't expect PdC to be happy about this.
If he's half as pissed off as me then he'll be off to club with some ambition like Fleetwood or Stevenage.

We own the stadium...just not the freehold of the land that it is built on. That's my understanding anyway. This is starting to smell very bad. Not happy this evening. |

We own the stands. St Modwen did have a charge against their full value, which was cleared by Arbib as I remember.

I think either Black or Arbib had a debenture over the ground as security for their loan. Someone with access to companies house should be able to confirm.

Makes sense, probably transferred the charge when they paid off St Modwen.

Taking a step back, if it were any other board on the way out there wouldn't be half as much criticism. Five years on we're in roughly the same league position but with a much better balance sheet.
After the shambles that was the Wills era, Black/Fitton et al seemed like a breath of fresh air. They had ambition and a clear business plan. I will always be eternally grateful for these men not only saving our football club from certain liquidation but completely turning it around off the pitch.
But, after the openness and transparency that we've grown accustomed to in the last few years, the manner of the swift sale to the first/easiest bidder and deafening silence today has left a very bitter taste and somewhat tainted my view of them.
Hopefully tomorrow brings better news and a statement of some kind from someone in authority. If we don't have reassurances from the outgoing owner then Mr McCrory better talk a very good game.

Not in a million years will there be better news, the way things are going today. |
