Re: Administration and recovery
What I meant was, FV want the hotel otherwise they aren't so keen on the club anymore. That's how I've interpreted what I've read. Whether it's true or not... Either way, I'm going to sit down tonight and work out who's on which panic station.

Re: Administration and recovery
Yup - did indeed. And we scored TWO goals....admittedly letting 3 in at the other end But that's because we're short of Keepers now we only have two.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Tue Jul 16, 2019 4:25 pmYep all I’m getting is ‘deal is more complex than it appears and takes time but everyone is relaxed’.Worthy4England wrote: ↑Tue Jul 16, 2019 3:51 pmI hear what the Admins have said that one not reliant on the other.

Re: Administration and recovery
I’m the same. But equally this is a deal involving millions and millions of pounds and I guess they aren’t going to rush things for the sake of a football season...I don’t know. They’ve been positive for ages but as each week passes I do wonder....but still I think that’s football fan anxiousness not business sense...Dave Sutton's barnet wrote: ↑Tue Jul 16, 2019 4:29 pmBit too f*cking relaxed for my liking - season starts a fortnight on Saturday and we're already operating under at least a four-win handicapBWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Tue Jul 16, 2019 4:25 pmYep all I’m getting is ‘deal is more complex than it appears and takes time but everyone is relaxed’.
Re: Administration and recovery
But they might be being outbid by someone who wants the hotel but not the club. Different process, different competitors, different admin, different set of people making the decision. Which, as has been noted, is not favourable for anyone. Again, just my interpretation based one what little has been said. What was the question again?Lost Leopard Spot wrote: ↑Tue Jul 16, 2019 4:27 pmWhat is this, Monopoly?

Re: Administration and recovery
The football season is an unfortunate inconvenience when buying a football club. Not sure what the business sense is of chucking in £1m and watching the club fold. Imagine we'll get properly dry f*cked by the EFL if we aren't ready to play on day 1.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Tue Jul 16, 2019 4:36 pmI’m the same.

I don't. The pragmatist in me tells me that there's no fecking way on Earth that we're going to be good to go 18 days from now.BWFC_Insane wrote: ↑Tue Jul 16, 2019 4:36 pmbut still I think that’s football fan anxiousness not business sense...

Re: Administration and recovery
What do you mean by good to go? My point was more that the business of the deal is priority for those involved. The football season secondary. And the alternative to FV not completing this is liquidation.Bruce Rioja wrote: ↑Tue Jul 16, 2019 4:57 pmI don't.

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 now under 3 weeks to go to the start of the season, and if the recent rumours are to be believed, they are now more interested about securing the hotel than doing anything football related.
Absolute shambolic the non communication from FV & the administrators.

The football club is a loss making business. Anyone who wants to buy it is looking to use other parts of the business to offset those losses.Bertie Wooster wrote: ↑Tue Jul 16, 2019 6:21 pmI'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.

I think people need to remember that FV’s money comes from investors and therefore they need to find ways to make some of it back. This is very different to a rich benefactor buying us but sadly there isn’t one of those about.
