Eastcowzer Posted 6 March, 2010 Share Posted 6 March, 2010 Just by way of a quick summary, It started off with a FAKE owner, Gayda Junior Then came the FAKE Doctor, with his FAKE consortium of wealthy men Then came the FAKE Sheikh, with another FAKE consortium of wealthy men Then came the Saviour, with his FAKE loans And they've ended up with a FAKE administrator Has anybody else noticed a bit of a trend here, or is it just me being overly suspicious? Yes, I think they are all faking FAKED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hutch Posted 6 March, 2010 Share Posted 6 March, 2010 So, more than a week down the road, and still not a sign of any administrating being done. Isn't that "curious"? I was staggered a couple of minutes ago to hear Avram Grant on Sky News saying he hasn't even met the administrator yet. I had to rewind it to make sure I hadn't misheard him. And "curiouser"? It's almost as if the whole administration thing isn't real, but just some kind of ruse to avoid a Winding Up Petition. I'm watching the front page of the UHY Hacker Young website. The PR statement announcing their appointment is still on there, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it disappear sometime soon, followed shortly afterwards by a "Fugleresque" meeting of the Senior Partners.

There are so many grey area's around this case, a cynical person might come to the conslusion that these grey areas have been brought in to delay things long enough for PFC to get to the end of the season & get the sky money before dying.

If he makes people redundant, how does he stand if he then found to be appointed incorrectly? UHY Hacker Young will carry indemnity insurance. Andy will be indemnified by the firm, provided that he acts within the law and the appropriate procedural rules applicable to the administration. I would expect them to be covered against pretty much everything short of "deliberate negligence". And HMRC are only dotting the i's and crossing the t's, after all. If any body was to suffer inadvertently, provided everything is above board, they will be compensated. On that basis, there is no reason NOT to proceed, and, conversely, every reason TO proceed, as quickly as possible. Every day that passes without cutting costs is increasing the debt, and diminishing the return to the creditors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the Administrator is confident of his position then he has a fudiciary responsibility to run the business and make cost savings immediately to the benefit of all Creditors. If, I suspect that his position is insecure then that would explain the inertia. Furthermore, the funding of the Admin is coming from Chanrai and if, as everyone suspects, that Chanrai is not a Prefferred creditor then I would expect the Admin team to pull out pdq, even before the court date of the 15th.

No more tea lady, canteen staff and unimportant posts like the CEO and the finnace staff who do the bank reconciliation! Saw O'Hara on Sky lamenting that staff like the tea lady are going on Monday. She must be a well paid tea lady (Mrs Storrie?) to make any impact on saving significant costs. I would expect O'Hara and other loanees to be the first out if the Andy the Bubble is serious.
