Don't we all?

I'm thinking similar thought but perhaps an alternative mutually acceptable 'way out' would be for 'SFC Ltd' to actually go into administration, albeit very temporarily so that it triggers an arbitrary/token CVA process, on condition that the FL will guarantee that all we lose is 10 points....dunno TBH

Perhaps....just perhaps....Pinnacle have come to an arrangement with the Football League whereby the FL agree to restrict the points penalty to -10 as long as SFC go through the CVA process. But, of course, to do that SFC itself would have to go into administration....and perhaps (that's a big "perhaps")....'engineering' a missed pay day will force SFC into a technical administration, so that they can bounce straight back out of it with the requisit CVA....and, hey presto, the FL are happy and SFC are (relatively) happy because we've avoided something worse than a -10 point penalty. Could that be what it's all about? i.e. it's not just about the -10 points, it's about going through the due process to avoid further points penalties and/or demotions??????? No idea...I'm making this up as I go along (first time for everything....)

A bold prediction IMHO

(IMHO)

John Magnier?

Dubai?

Game over?

More likely to be his son, Ashley....if at all....IMHO of course

How much money would you put on it?

"Demonise"....no, probably too emotive....but "seriously question"....yes....3 weeks ago Malwhinny ( Why am I yet to see Malwhinny interviewed on TV asking him to explain this dichotemy?

Why are these supposed other bidders forever "waiting in the wings"....? We're no longer in a period of exclusivity so if they've got the cash just put in a bid and stop all this faffing around. FFS

If one logically dissects Tony's opening line (which of course I would never do), is he suggesting that not all forum users are fans....?

Pedantry alert... It's 'licence' (noun) rather than 'license' (verb)....unless you happen to be American. But that aside, cheers to Tony for the update.

By jove....I think I've got it....it's Brian May....isn't it? We are the champions, my friend

Are you saying the money (wo)man is The Queen?

Your wish is my command....

That name sounds familiar

No. Fair point. But why would Lynam state that he wants the right to appeal if the FL hadn't retracted it? So, by deduction, we can assume that the FL have retracted the right to appeal...IMHO.

TBF to DD, I think Mr Lynam's posts on here allude to the FL stance on not being able appeal but doesn't actually state it categorically (well, according to my skim reading technique!). The latest Echo article has a much more direct quote from TL though, IMO.

http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/4451026.Pinnacle_fighting_for_right_of_appeal_against_points_deduction_in_Saints__takeover/ Lynam said: “The issue of the points deduction is for another day. We just want the right to appeal against it. "

Have I got time for a wee?

I believe the difference is that the administrators of this forum do not tell people that they can't appeal against any decision against them before accepting their fiver.
