Erm, from EVERYTHING I have read over the last few weeks my understanding was, and I am sure you will correct me if I am wrong..
1. Bates wins vote, gets the club back, out of administration, football league allow us to trade again (as from Wednesday), have a decent chance of getting the squad together 2. Bates wins but result challenged in court, still in admin, cannot trade until resolved - unlikely to be any time soon. 3. Bates loses the vote, Astor block any alternative bid, still in admin, cannot trade etc etc. Have I missed something again? Why didn't the football league bloke not say they WOULD allow LUFC to trade? Why the "might"? Would we be relying on the goodwill of the football league members? As KPMG said, their acceptance of Bates bid was in no short amount due to removing the uncertainty currently hanging over the club. Yes, I actually believe Bates winning the vote was the only way for the club to be able to have a stab at a decent team building and preseason. Another thing, how much extra (in % terms) were the other bids actually worth to the creditors? -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of RickD Sent: 04 June 2007 14:29 To: leedslist Subject: Re: [LU] Bates and CVA ----- Original Message ----- > Cards on the table time.. You position seems to be the one that Bates would have you believe which is my way or the highway. How come Mr Bates is the only person able to preside over a decent pre-season and the purchase of players ? The Football League took the trouble to have one of their legal guys at the meeting on Friday and he took the trouble to explain that although a CVA would normally be required that it might not be necessary in unusual circumstances. He must have a had some reason for bothering to tell the meeting this. My take on it is that the FL were really saying that they don't like their own rules being used to unfairly put pressure on in circumstances like this. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
