Re: Administration and recovery

I'm starting to believe Bassini may have had a point Bassini would only have a point if he could demonstrate that his bid (the one within the timeframe) was better than FV's, which he probably can't do as he won't have seen FV's... Perhaps he now has ammunition, as its now public knowledge (stated ...

Re: Administration and recovery

It appears to me like the club admins have made a serious error in terms of FV being preferred bidders (knowing that it was dependent on also acquiring the hotel, yet having no control over the sale of the hotel), its almost bordering on being negligent. If I was one of the other bidders I would be...

Re: Administration and recovery

No spinning of plates here, just sheer incompetence by both the club admins & FV My point is how on earth were they appointed preferred bidder, when their 'preferred' bid was dependant on the hotel being part of the agreement (so with conditions attached) when it clearly wasn't part of the bid for t...

Re: Administration and recovery

So a statement from the admins selling the club have stated that FV's 'preferred bidder' business plan (with EFL approval) needs both the club & hotel. Yet the hotel admins a few days ago stated that they have had no communication with FV to date & very little communication from the club admins. It ...

Re: Administration and recovery

Nixon: "Council now trying to help to get Football Ventures deal done ... massive push to get this sorted.

Re: Administration and recovery

So is their a financial hole in their business plan ?, did FV lie to the administrators ?, have they provided concrete proof of required funds ?

The Leopard & Insane appear to have differing opinions, which I agree is not unique

Re: Administration and recovery

Any PFA loan will NOT be for FV to complete the deal with. It will be a loan to allow the administrators to pay players at the club - probably to allow them to play in a friendly. The PFA will not loan millions. We'll be talking a fairly small amount here. And it will be paid back on completion of ...

Re: Administration and recovery

Hotel admins have said tonight that it will be at least a further 4-6 weeks before any sale of the hotel, and that they haven't had any dialogue or contact with FV to date. Therefore surely its time for FV to either put up (i.e. complete very soon) & start to run the football club correctly or admit...

Re: Administration and recovery

So are you saying that basically they are not really that interested in how successful or stable the football club is on the pitch ? In which case the administrators were not being completely truthful then with their statement following FV being preferred bidders ? "They were also able to show the v...

Re: Administration and recovery

I'm probably wide of the mark, but it is starting to appear that this FV consortium are only in this to try & make money in the future, from the hotel, land, car parks etc. It is starting to appear that they actually don't give a damn about the fans, players, staff, football side of the club. Its no...

Re: Administration and recovery

For the record, I don’t think it’s the best idea. But in some ways it’s not the worst. We really need to crack the f*ck in with player recruitment. And it’s worth noting I edited something today from a Bradford fan who would give his full set of teeth to turn back time and keep Parkinson. Doesn’t m...

Re: Administration and recovery

Is that the same Phil Parkinson that got BWFC promoted from League One at the first attempt Of course it is and you know full well Mr Enoch, you also know that he had a squad far better than everyone apart from Sheff Utd, and he still almost managed to cock that up, until the last game. However if ...

Re: Administration and recovery

https://twitter.com/reluctantnicko/status/1146489594801786880 Astonishing if true, it has to be some kind of a wind up ?
