I know what you said,
This is my non - ITK reckon inferred from the bits we do know. It is also pretty positive so would appreciate if nobody came along pointing out the flaws.

But!!
That would obviously be bad for KA. So I imagine the trustees are saying that they will also accept the eg 80% from KA but there is negotiation over some sort of indemnity for the trustees if they get sued down the line (i.e. Ken, MJ, FV, someone picks up the tab).
I really cannot get my head around this part, who the hell could sue EDT and for what exactly??

Sorry :oops:
I said no questions!

I mean sued by the beneficiaries of the EDT (e.g. ED's kids, grandkids, any charities who benefit).

Remember we have £5m loan from EDT to KA (don't know if we know if it was to KA personally or to a corporate vehicle). And then £5m loan from KA to club.

I *imagine* what is happening is FV have said to Ken, we'll give you e.g. £3.5m and he's said "fine, as long as EDT will take £3.5m from me". Now one way of looking at that is this is the best way for EDT to get as much money back. If they say no, club goes bust, Ken gets pennies in the £ and so EDT get pennies in the £. Another way is for EDT to say to Ken "you owe us £5M. That you then lent it to an insolvent football club is your problem, we want our £5m". Option b) would make the most sense but Christ only knows how Ken's assets are structured and how easy it would be for EDT to actually get their £5m, so they might decide a guaranteed £3.5m is better than a risky £5m.

Trustees are personally liable if they f*ck up when administering a trust. So it's possible that if EDT take option a) (settle for £3.5m), down the road one of Eddie's grandkids could sue the trustees saying that they should have taken option b) and there'd be more money.

I (baselessly) suspect that the trustees are only happy to sign off on taking e.g. £3.5m (and so Ken is only happy to sign off on taking £3.5m, no chance he'll agree to be out of pocket if he can help it) if someone indemnifies them against the risk of the trustees suing them later on.

My hope comes because it sounds like the hold up in the deal is Ken (he won't sign off on getting £3.5m if he owes EDT £5m). However, if push comes to shove, in liquidation he'd likely get much less than this e.g. £3.5m, still owing £5m, and so will sign off eventually).

Hope that makes sense, for the almost nothing that it is worth!
All of that ^ sounds spot on. The trouble with it is, I believe, that FV are offering nowhere near 80%. The trouble is as each problem arises their potential purchase price decreases, they are probably now at about 50%, if that. Which just increases the froth around who owes what to whom at which percentage.

It's certainly better than we're packing up and going home, but it's not a message we haven't heard before.

It should be pointed out that the 5pm deadline is when a Football League meeting starts. There's presumably time thereafter, while they're all round the table, for an exciting "MRS ROBINSOOOOOOONNNNNNN!" interjection.

If I had a meeting at 5pm it wouldn't really start until 7 when I left the restaurant, bloody heathens!

Exactly. This countdown stuff is pathetic and embarrassing. SSN their loudmouth wanker in chief Jim White are bad enough but also lots of our fans on Twitter talking like the club will disappear into a black hole at 5:01.
Even if the EFL decide to give notice, that's still 14 days. And they'd probably extend it if something was happening last minute.
The rest of it is where it's at and sadly I expect it to go right to the end of the 14 days as usual while people go unpaid.

I'm afraid Bury are gone, which is desperately sad.

Sadly it looks like Bury have met their Waterloo.

Of course from a EFL point of view it would even the numbers up if we went as well. See every cloud ......

The problem is, Dale genuinely thinks he deserves a fat payoff. And obviously nobody agrees or wants to give it to him.
I hope they're saved but still think they will go because of him.
