Think they have to be seen to at least try and go for a CVA.Quote:

They have to go through the motions, I reckon.
Agreed - just thought that the point of the current exercise was to flush out serious bids, complete with myriad if-then conditional clauses. :wink:Quote:

Every bid will have conditions, not least of which will be the BTC being positive, and perhaps getting out of the Ticketus deal. For that reason, the bids will remain on the table, but obviously have to be parked meantime.
The admins will then continue down the CVA route.
They will continue down the road of the Court cases.
By then, we will be much closer to the BTC result.
If BTC goes bad for them, it'll be goodnight.
If it goes well, they're still in there with a snowball's chance.
Whilst bleeding the Huns dry hopefully.Quote:

I hope this bid sees off the competition...

Apparently 3 bids for Forces of Darkness FC
Club 9 - US sports specialists who it seems got told where tyo go by Sheff Wed and Tranmere, Kennedy and the knights of the masonic table.
It's not inspiring rapturous joy over on the bile fest that is the Rangers Media Forum.

Don't go wetting yourselves yet, Huns. Any timewaster could step forward at this stage.
Aye I meant none of them doh! LolQuote:

P.S. keep up the good work, this is compulsive reading.
Duff and Duffer seem a bit surprised and disappointed that the bidders want " a bit more clarity and certainty on some issues "
Has £ 24 million + of future season tickets gone already ?
Will the HMRC do a deal on the £ 15 million VAT and Tax debt ?
This EBT thingy they won't want all £ 49 million surely ?
A bit unreasonable of them to be nit-picking over mere details like those. :confused:
basically nae one actually wants to win this, they all want to look like they want to, but actually hoping someone else wins and they can say we tried.
There ****ed, even if they get through this they have more sanctions to come from uefa when porto complain, the floodgates are opening and nobody wants to be left holding this hunball!!
It depends on the wording of the revised contracts, I suppose. The admins did say that not all the revisions were the same. eg. Whittaker might be on £5k pw until the end of the season, then reverting to £20k therafter. Davis might be on £5k pw, with the option to walk away for nothing.Quote:

Sorry,maybe I didn't make myself clear. What happens if their contract is now terminated before the end of the season, would the payout then be smaller due to the lower expected earnings?
It would only be smaller by the cut they have taken for the next few months. If, for example, they were then due to revert to £20k pa for the remaining x years on their contract, that amount would remain payable.Quote:

Cheers for that. Would still save them a nice wee wad if they dumped them now though. Or is that just wishful thinking :-)
Wouldn't really. The dumped player would then be able to sue for the remaining pay due. Which would add to the amount of creditors, and also reduce the value of the playing squad. Short term savings, but false economy in the long run.Quote:
