Has the possibility of the existing owner continuing under a creditors agreement been shelved already?

Has Paul Aldridge left the building? 🐍
Some people say Aldridge was trying to do right by the club....others say he was a complete wanker...
Know very little about him. However on the basis that he is a close associate of Ken Anderson's, when presumably a man of his background could earn a decent crust elsewhere, I'm going for 'complete wanker'.
Jesus Christ... And one wonders why some innocent people get burnt to death on the steps of a Mexican police station by an angry mob?
Slightly odd comparison.
Sorry. Stressed. But, nevertheless, condemning people you don't know for things you have no idea about does kinda lead to that sort of comparison...
No it doesn't. I'm basing it on the shit show he's been part of. He chose to work for Ken Anderson. He helped this situation along, delivered lie after lie for his boss for a long period of time.
If we're doing hysterical comparisons to atrocities then I don't buy that he was 'just following orders'.
Ergo he's a c*nt.

Ps I'm not advocating burning him.

But if Bassinirick fails with his bid but gets the catering contract, don't order the filet mignon in sauce bearnaise.

So, it will all be sorted in 48 hours?

I hope only for the administrators to tell him to piss off.

Was he paid as a consultant or was he salaried staff?
Not sure we know fo sho.
rightly or wrongly that will conform my opinion. I reckon he’s been employed as a consultant by Ken’s inner circle mob. I’m really interested to see (someone cleverer than me analyse) the accounts and see what cash has gone where, who was paid when etc.

As for Bassini; surely that clown can’t be the only show in town now?

Lovely touch from Preston North End sending two grands worth of food vouchers for the staff at the club. "Cometh the hour" etc....thanks and well done Preston.

Re: Preston, yep fair f*cks to them. Lovely touch indeed.

I said previously that admin wasn't good but looked like the least worst option. That was on the assumption that someone normal took over.

Bassini in charge as well as minus 12 points, we may have a new worst worst option!*

Looking at administration of all football clubs is not very encouraging. Taking the "pre-packs" out which are now banned by the EFL - most are in for at least 4 months. Many in for far longer.

4months takes us past any transfer window signings. Next season could be a bigger shambles than this one.

Same circus, different clowns! feck it, if Ken's definitely gone then it'll be a start and I'll be there. Just drove past, it's an impressive place and at some point will host an impressive team again.

When have other sides gone into administration? I'd assume that most went into it during the close season and faced the same issues we're facing no?

Bates put Leeds in admin and got the club back however that led the FL to change the rules, particularly the points deduction as Bates did it on the final day after relegation to nullify any impact.

As for Paul Aldridge, always struck me as decent, Mandaric had him as his right hand man at ours and he did his job, sadly with you lot he couldn't polish the big turd Ken has dropped, though the flies may have seen of Bassini.....

I genuinely wish you all the best, hope as a club you come out of it in the best possible place you can, as fans we endure what the money men will never get, we have a loyalty that sees us turn up in all weathers, in whatever leagues despite being served up shite all for the brief hope that we can shock the world and upset the apple cart.

Most seemingly had the sense to go into admin during the season....

Our delay could be very costly in terms of next season and potentially (depending how long it drags on) the season after that.

We probably need to move on from coulda, shoulda. We didn't. So we just have to deal with what's in front of us. Since the cut off was introduced, 14 have gone in before the cut-off (quite a few early in the season - Sept/Oct although Jan/Feb/March seem to be the most likely). 8 have gone in after the cut-off...so it's about 2:1. The average length of time seems to be around 6 months (which seems to remain constant when you remove a couple of outliers from both ends)..

6 months would be very bad wouldn't it? I realise you've already accepted next season as a write off but not sure many of our fans have yet.
