Ken Anderson - Old Owner (Definitely. For Ever ..... )

Asked for 7 days and got 35 days?

[TANGODANCER]

Adjourned till 8th May.

Leaving us where exactly re present games?

"Changing horses to get nearer, still so far away.. On a carousel...." The Hollies 1967.....

Judge is probably sick of the sight of us.....

And what is with the masked consortia - seriously, wtf gives here (why does it matter)... I mean, if they're embarrassed now, wait until we hate them in a couple of seasons

According to LoV's man in court, Hilary was "begging" for seven days, "admitting she’d take admin despite it not being ideal".... then the judge gives it till May 8th, along with every other adjournment. Hmm.

Can-kicking to the end of the season (final game is May 5th), which would then allow the League to do pretty much as they please – although expelling us would necessitate a bit of rejigging.

Just sell, man. Go away.

LLS was right. EFL got to the judge!

This kind of changes everything. Lots more considerations now. Takes a lot of KA's options away...

Very very odd.

"Seems like buyer was present, not announced by name but had spoken with Hilary it appears whilst waiting on the case to begin... Ensured he kept facing the judge to avoid being identified by public at back and has stayed in the room. All seems very secretive" (@LoV)

Do please explain how so. Because that sounds like good news to me, and I'm ready for some.

(This isn't as narky as it sounds. Genuinely.)

[Prufrock]

Coincidentally 3 days after our last game. Maybe the Leopard was on to something.

Must say the Ken benefiting to £26m sounds total tinfoil hat conspiracy nonsense to me, that doesn't look too work, and even if it did would involve roughly speaking a million crimes (including no doubt ones our dear opponents today would be interested in).

I think Ken as crooked as a two bob bit but don't think he's stupid enough to do anything unambiguously criminal.

This mystery bloke in court. Was he wearing a red construction helmet?

Talksport on now - man in court saying he is buying us was Bassini - Shaun Harvey from EFL on now.

Just instant thoughts but:

KA will lose his shares to the Moonshift recall option on the 9th April, and even if he finds a way to get another injunction it won't go past 8th May. So theoretically he has to sell to Bassini quickly (probably his preferred option), or lose to another bidder (assuming the reported interest is genuine). And he cant use the HRMC winder as a liquidation threat.,

Left court hurriedly and chased to his rolls Royce!

The £13m aspect of it due to factoring is entirely legal...

To borrow from Prufrock, out of the lying man and into the dire. I know which I'd rather have. As I say, Bassini may be inept but Ken is IMO untrustworthy and,

But, and it's a big but, I'm unsure as to Bassini's importance in this. Is he really, genuinely the money man? If he;'s hiring Dave Richards and John Williams, is he actually the grown-up in the room?

So, effectively, is this Bassini just a front man/agent for some "foreign" money? (foreign as being out of this country) .....
Sorry D.S.B, posted before I saw yours.....

[jmjhb]

I believe Bassini is the front man for some (a lot of) dodgy Thai money - allegedly
