To be honest it is still odd that they called in the overdraft. If it was consistantly rising I could understand it but by all accounts it had been cut by 2 million over the course of last season. By forcing SLH into administration they've more or less guaranteed that they'll lose money as it's unlikely they'll be paid back in full, but there was at least a chance of that if they hadn't called it in.

 

So by calling in the overdraft they've cost themselves money and dented their reputation in the world of football. So why did they do it?

Because they could, someone has to pay for the mess the banks are in and the stress on the poor investment bankers who might get reduced bonuses

 

Me, I've stopped using my Barclaycard and gone back to Amex

Call me a cynic but the tenuous connection between the bank manager who approved the loan and Leon Crouch troubles me. Could it be that an attempt to derail Lowe ended up derailing the club. Surely Crouch was not that stupid...
