A very good question Gob, but I think we know there will never be an answer offered without duress. No good asking the Pasoti Trust bunch, they haven't the faintest idea, they only repeat the small detail that is deemed prudent by their controllers.
We have been treated to the inside leg measuremment of what the £3m + employees have settled for. But as to the money men, the investors, the ex owners ? ..... not a dickie bird. All we have is a ludicrous 12 hour load of nonsens surrounding Stapleton and his rumoured opposition to any deal.
No mention of Gardner, Todd, Ticketus, Mastpoint, Kagmi and Abe, Wrathall, Stapleton and campbell's very strange "loan".
What is it about an administration process that can publish some creditors' details and yet keep secret the details of the rich guys' settlements ?
Of course, they know if the truth were published, many fans would at last pick up on what has actually gone on in the whole process... the accounting alchemy over a 6 month period of transferring employee liabilities into repaid investor loans.
I won't be touching this club until more details are published, and one of the main protagonists, Ridsdale, is hounded out as a scounderel.
If pete is right, the first payday under Brent has produced a 50% payday. Not a good start.
