TDD has no answers, he just likes to snipe at his fellow fans from the pedestal on which he sits.

I'm not sure we actually ever needed one, but you'd still get one in this situation. In fact, that's what a CVA is. An agreement by 75% of the people you owe money (by value) to to accept less than you owe them.

? You said it yourself.....

No it's going to remain so we can all laugh at stupid Gemmel. Stupid. ;)

You thought it was a good enough squad to stay in the Championship. Even with the players that have gone, we have a very strong league 1 squad.

Yes but they won the league. People here are saying 5m to make the playoffs. S****horpe came 6th with 20 less points than Leicester got. So have we in theory.

There was a court case, he said that in the first post. He didn't bother going.

Originally German, but they now have Swiss nationality. Bloody immigrants.

I have no idea what sort of transfer fees go around in this division, but £5m sounds like a lot of money to spend. I don't think Leicester spent anything like that in transfer fees did they?

This guy could pay cash. Could get the cranes and diggers at mates rates as well.

Oldknow?

Of course it's quite possible that we never find out any of this stuff now. A private company can be much more secretive.

Depends on the price.

Mali would be more likely than Liebherr, as he's nothing to do with the Liebherr Group any more.

Think the training ground, Jacksons Farm, the academy lodge etc were all separate in the consolidated accounts of SLH.

Good stuff Steve, well done and many thanks.

I read it that he's bought all the assets of SLH, but not the company itself.

It might be better than the Swiss deal though. I doubt it, but who are we to know?

Cheers.

It's quite upsetting to watch the decline of Alpine and Delldays' relationship.

This BBC widget thing is a bit rubbish, still says it's 63-1. Edit: and as I submitted my post, it jumped to 75-2

Phil said other bid(s) worth less in total, but more cash up front. Let's be honest, none of us know the full picture, so it's a bit foolish to be casting aspersions. Maybe we should just wait til the deal is done, then revisit this.

But it sounds like it was an offer on the never-never. If I offered to give you 50 quid, and another 50 quid in a few years when I get round to marrying Madonna, or someone else offered you 60 quid today, which would you accept? In todays environment, companies are far more likely to want cash up front, even if there's the potential to get more later. I could offer to buy the club for a pound today, but promise to pay Aviva 50 million when I get to the premiership. That's not a very attractive deal for Aviva, as for all they know (and they'd probably be right) I'd never get there.
