Financial/takeover question

If by chance we were to be about to be taken over and the price already agreed.Would the seller benifit anymore financially by having the debt reduced by 1.3m?

Yes by paying off 1.3m less of debt, but then having to spend at least that to replace the players, so no!

I asked if it helped the seller. If an agreed price had been reached but the debt reduced would it mean more in the cash pot for the seller to walk away with?

It would help the seller in that the debt would be reduced and the buyer would not not have to pay £1.3m to service the debt plus 0.5M wages.

The buyer would say buy shares for £5m and then put in another £3.5m to pay off the Debt otherwise they would have to put in £5m to pay off the debt.

The seller would walk away with the same money since the 1.3 million would stay with the company (or rather as you saty it would service the company's debt). The buyer might be a bit peeved if they valued the 'asset' that was sold at greater than 1.3 million, and you could argue that if the buyer knew the asset would be sold the buyer might have offered less, but that would require a significant differnce in the valuation of the asset.

Listening to Radio Hants on the way home from the game David Armstrong hinted that the consortium was not that far away. Not sure how much he is ITK.

It would help in a purely financial sense as they would be buying something for the same price that now had £1.3m less of liabilities.

EDIT - sorry, you said seller not buyer.

If a price has been agreed with the seller for their shares, they will walk away with the same amount regardless.

Lowe's present actions would appear to indicate that there is no takeover on the horizon. All his actions including selling Davies looks like trying to steady the ship.

Haven't Stoke activated a clause in the player's contract though? And Davies has indictade he would like to leave and play in the PL?

Do we know that for sure?

New Office Policies in respect of the cut backs at St Mary's:

1) You are advised to come to work dressed according to

your salary.

2) If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a

Gucci bag, we will assume you are doing well financially

and therefore do not need a raise.

3) If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your

money better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and

therefore you do not need a raise.

4) If you dress just right, you are right where you need

to be and therefore you do not need a raise.

Sick Days:

We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as proof

of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come to work.

Personal Days:

Each employee will receive 104 personal days a year.

They are called Saturdays & Sundays.

Bereavement Leave:

This is no excuse for missing work. There is nothing

you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every

effort should be made to have non-employees attend the

funeral arrangements in your place. In rare cases where

employee involvement is necessary, the funeral should be

scheduled in the late afternoon. We will be glad to

allow you to work through your lunch hour and

subsequently leave one hour early.

Bathroom Breaks:

Entirely too much time is being spent in the toilet.

There is now a strict three-minute time limit in the

stalls. At the end of three minutes, an alarm will

sound, the toilet paper roll will retract, the stall

door will open, and a picture will be taken. After your

second offense, your picture will be posted on the

company bulletin board under the 'Chronic Offenders'

category. Anyone caught smiling in the picture will be

sectioned under the company's mental health policy.

Lunch Break:

* Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need

to eat more, so that they can look healthy.

* Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a

balanced meal to maintain their average figure.

* Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's

all the time needed to drink a Slim-Fast.

Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here

to provide a positive employment experience. Therefore,

all questions, comments, concerns, complaints,

frustrations, irritations, aggravations, insinuations,

allegations, accusations, contemplations, consternation

and input should be directed elsewhere.

I think that Glenn Hoddle might feture in any plans the club has.

this has come from a mate of mine. He spoke to the head steward who told him expect some big and shocking news this week. He didnt say if it was good or bad. Just passing on what i was told.

I occasionally get info from the head steward as well. I have never put it up for discussion as he has always been wrong.
