It's interesting to note that the MSM are already largely referring to Ann Budge, sorry, Mrs Budge, as the owner of Hawrts! So much for making history & the greatest fans' movement ever. I would be prepared to take large bets that F of H will never have ownership of Yams, unfortunately!
You forgot the set for the about to be ex-wife's lawyer. :greengrinQuote:

Many feel the situation will never arise for the F of H to be in a true financial position to acquire Mrs B's holding plus have enough " spending money" to maintain the club . :confused:
Could all be bit of a smokescreen and eventually she will sell her shares to the highest bidder which will take them back to exactly where they started ala Mercer/Robinson/Romanov :na na:
Although that would be an ideal route for the Yams' soon to be 'owner' to take unfortunately she can't sell them to any party other than the Fannies.Quote:

If that's correct, then I might take that bet :greengrin
It's not, Bidco will own the thing first, then FanniesQuote:

BIDCO were never named as a bidder.
My understanding is that they will be transferred to FOH who will then immediately hand them over to BIDCO. FOH don't have the money to meet the terms of the CVA so BIDCO are funding it. FOH will then get them back after they've paid off that money.
This is proving to be a tough one to explain to the pith authorities I'm told. The point of freezing the shares is to stop them from being passed from company to company in the event of a criminal investigation. BDO are asking for them to be unfrozen to give to FOH who then want to pass them on to yet another company straight away adding another 2 degrees of separation to the shares.
BDO - "Can you unfreeze the shares please?"
Liths - "Why"
BDO - "So the FOH can buy them"
Liths - "And what will this FOH do with them"
BDO - "Give them to another company for use in a ponzi scheme to further defraud a bunch of nutters they've found here in Scotland"
Liths - "Ok then"
BDO - "Magic! By the way whilst we're on the phone, any news on those Portsmouth shares?"
Liths - *Click*
BDO - "Hello? Hello?"
They are.Quote:

A bit of a dogleg here but a few pages back there's discussion of a £1.4M player budget. Do we know what the Manager budget is? Presumably bottles of urine plus receipted expenses means that GL is a shoo-in for the job. £600K-£1M suggests Harry Potter. If an ex Scotland player with no management experience can command £800K P/A in the third division how much should an ex Scotland manager command. After all Barca built their tactics around his myopic vision.
The CVA names FoH as the purchaser of HOMFC.Quote:

Is S.H.I.T. not an umbrella name for BIDCO, FANCO and another CO I can't remember?
If so then I can't see the problem.

I'm sure the lawyers could stitch together a deal like that in the normal run of business but,Quote:

Also, FoH themselves will have to have a vote to approve the transfer of the asset they were created to acquire.
All.very.Complex
I don't believe the footballing license will be affected because the company is staying the same (if they exit administration). It's no different from when Tom Farmer took us over.Quote:
