Not sure if that was always the case or whether it means anything in relation to any more points deductions

Doesn't say that at all. It says they have purchased the assets, prinicipally the football club. That does not mean they have bought SLH. That would require an agreement with the shareholders. The assets have been bought and SLH will now be liquidated because it is no longer a going concern (because it has no assets)

Does that mean he has bought the stadium outright or do we still have a mortgage?

 

I believe the price he paid included writing off all debts, so if that is the case then SFC is completely debt-free.

 

The Liebherr business empire has expanded without ever incurring any debt apparently, so I would be surprised if any debts were outstanding.

I would imagine that the Football club was the only "asset" SLH had.

 

No Southampton Stadium Ltd was also an asset. The holding company now has no assetts and will be subject of a "Winding up order" at the request of Fry. He will then distribute the money to the creditors and seek permission from the court to dissolve the company. SFC and SSL have new owners.

If we are not servicing debt any more then we are in an extremely strong position in Div 3! I cant stop smiling!

 

Which is part of the FL's justification for the -10. By going into administration we (eventually!) gained a financial advantage.

yeah and can you imagine the profit the club will be making if we get 20k+ in for our home games and a trimmed down wagebill!

It was indeed changed. I also read "bought SLH and its assets", and now it doesn't say anything about SLH in that sentence.

I wouldn't! I expect the creditors have an option on future revenue.

 

1) Who do you mean by creditors, Barclays and Aviva?

 

2) Why? They are creditors of SLH Plc which is no longer SFC Limited's problem.

 

3) What purchaser would pay £12.5m for the club and then agree to give future revenue to creditors of a different company?

Yep I would expect this to be the situation.......without the takeover the above would be sitting on billy squat as regards any money being returned to them..........``a bird in the hand`` springs to mind

No way, would you buy a house and agree to pay off the previous owners second mortgage on that house?

Correct, in my view. SLH will no longer exist. The creditors, in accepting the pay off, surrender all rights to any future revenue streams from the new owner or company.
