You keep on saying this, but the judge himself today said:
A) He does not want to allow admin
B) He might choose to force a sale
This is the actual judge saying it - the person who decides what actually happens.
Admin might be AN answer, but it is FAR from being the only answer.
Currently it's not even AN answer because there is still an injunction in place which expressly prohibits it, unless that was lifted today. Tom Seaward's update seems to imply it wasn't.

Or that we are able to cut out cloth accordingly.

It's still a potential outcome. But that's beside the point. The point is that Audrey seems adamant that what's possibly the least likely outcome is the only one to be considered.

Yes. And FWIW, Tom Seaward has now published his write-up which confirms that the injunction against admin remains in place "Orders banning Mr Power from placing the club into administration remain in force.

So to sum up:
Best case scenario - something makes Power budge and sell before the next hearing to Axis.
Most likely scenario - this gets drawn out. We can’t recruit a manager (and if we do, Lee Power does it), we can’t recruit any good players, as they can’t guarantee getting paid (and have no manager or coaches), so we start the season with Power in charge, and a mixture of youth team players and those that haven’t managed to find another club over the summer. To say next season looks a struggle is an understatement.
Worst case scenario - Morfuni is either exposed as a chancer, or is good but loses interest. We get stuck with Power, who lets the rot continue and..... Aldershot, Bury, Macclesfield. The hopes of our club hinge of the whim of a man with a plumbing business on the other side of the world who nobody knows.

The likely hit on sponsorship and season ticket sales, assuming the club ever gets round to offering them, and hence on next year's budget might help Power concentrate on the interest in selling before the court case. And since he can't sell to Able without the agreement of Morfuni and Standing, perhaps he'll be brought to his senses.
Or not.

I wonder how some of the worlds most passionate of Ultras would encourage Power to sell?
