Bill Power Is the Key to Takeover

[OneAndrewFitton]

This is what i think will happen with regards to the takeover, the board will make this takeover drag on and on, they will probably say something like it will be completed in the new year or something.
When January comes they will sell players like Brezovan, Ifil, Tozer and a few more and then the bills will be sorted and they won't go anywhere.
I really think that will happen, they just won't sell this club and go.

 You missed out Byrne and Williams being appointed as managers, and us getting relegated.

  Its a well worn template.

I completely disagree as to get out the transfer embargo we have to pay the CVA and I don't think the current board have any intention of paying it.  If it was as simple as selling players then paying the debts they would of done that after selling Parkin, Fallon, Lukas etc, they just don't like putting money back in or settling debts.  So I think it will go one of 2 ways either they will sell to Fitton or they will take us under, the current board have no where else to go.

I think the transfer embargo doesn't include selling players, it's only for bringing players in.

Forgot about that, they would probably appoint Byrne/Williams as well, i wouldn't fancy our chances of staying in the league then especially if the above players are sold.

I'm not saying they couldn't sell players I am saying even if they did it wouldn't pay off any debts it would mysteriously disapear on running costs so they would still have the CVA to pay, they have reached the end of the road they now have to decide to either sell or take the club under.

[OneAndrewFitton]

I know that money always goes missing and they never pay the bills but you never know they might do it just to piss us fans off, we would still have a club then but they know we would be furious that they would still be around running the club.

Couple of points
Bill Powers money was supposed to pay off the CVA, but disapeared else where.
The Poyet/ Wise compo could have been used but vanished
The Lucas money could have been used, but went into the same blackhole.
If that IS their plan they are gioing to have to break this habit.
The CVA if it is deemed as "failed" would mean the whole £5,000,000 becomes payable.
Even if that is not the case, they would still have to pay the £1,800,000 owed to the Inland revenue as well as the CVA AND the footballing debts. Nearer £3,000,000 than £2,000,000.
I would suggest our whole squad wouldn't fetch that, particularly if it is an obvious "fire sale".
In other words, "PLan B" is liquidation & the fulfillment of Diamndis's promise last December on BBC radio

I detest the board but if they paid the CVA off it wouldn't piss me off I would be delighted as I would know the club survives but it wont buy them much more time we know at least 80% of the fan base have lost faith in them and will crank up the pressure as soon as they fuck up again which we know they will.  This is why I believe they really are near the end, sell up or go under.

I agree, Brezovan would probably go for around 700,000 plus add on's knowing our board, 500,000 for tozer, 400,000 for ifil, that's only 1.6m and there isn't really anyone else to sell so that wouldn't be enough, they would need at least another 1.4m.

Diamandis probably will take the club down as promised, but then if that happened i would'nt be surprised if the fans took him down.

[sonic youth]

we'd be lucky to get half of the prices you've quoted there.

I think that's a massive over estimation for how much they'd go for. I'd probably more than half those estimations.

[sonic youth]

great minds ben...

[flammableBen]

Wow. I must have got distracted for it to take me 5 mins to write that. Got old CM going in the back ground.

[Dazzza]

I'm sure if it reached that point where we had a 'fire sale' a lot of the players would be entitled to walk away for nothing due to breaches of their contract.  

I’m sure there have been a couple of examples over the past few years of the PFA intervening and players walking from clubs facing oblivion.
