tomorrow can't come quick enough 14:17 - Oct 16 with 2263319 views | batman | Not for us, but for Bury. i was credit checking a potential customer and decided to nosey onto BFC's file and was (or maybe not) supprised to see a new CCJ for circa £22k lodged only Wednesday this week. looks like they are in need of a bumper crowd tomorrow to settle some bills | | | | |
tomorrow can't come quick enough on 10:20 - May 1 with 4340 views | finberty | There seems to be an acceptance of the consequences of administration - the points deduction, but on we go. A points deduction in L1 is preferable to one in L2, and from a timing point of view - job half done. They have made it into L1 whilst trading normally. What happens if the administrators determine the club (any club) to be insolvent - doesn't that force them down the liquidation route? I'm not just thinking about Bury but more significantly Bolton, of those we actually know about round here. Are there any financial experts on here who know how the admin/insolvency/liquidation process starts off? Who blinks first - is it the club's directors, its shareholders or the club's creditors | | | |
tomorrow can't come quick enough on 10:37 - May 1 with 4270 views | SuddenLad | Isn't there a more severe penalty for a 'second offence' so to speak ? i.e. clubs who have been in administration previously face harsher sanctions ? I wouldn't be jumping up and down for joy just yet if I were a Giggle Laner, because they might be in a worse position than they think come August. As for Bolton - the EFL now have to show that they are serious when it comes to applying sanctions. They have uttered all manner of threats and warnings down the years, about fit and proper persons and mismanagement and financial impropriety. Now is their chance to show that they have some teeth and actually apply the rules. Otherwise it will just send out the message that you can please yourself, run a club like a circus and nothing will happen. | |

No expert, but it is illegal for a director (s) to continue to trade knowing the business is insolvent. It is they who would call in an administrator in order to recover debts on behalf of creditors and to see what can be salvaged and run the business as a going concern or sell it. Club's creditors can issue court proceedings in order to reclaim their debts to the point of issuing a winding up petition, from which the Court can issue a winding up order. I think shareholders would have to call an EGM in order to force any issues. | |

Didn't their owner S.Dale release a public statement saying this next month they expect £180k coming in but they need to pay out £1.6 million? That is either a bit daft or a bit clever depending on his motives. [Post edited 1 May 2019 11:09]

No, it is not that simple. Someone has to be responsible for dealing with the debts. A nominal purchase usually means you will take on the debts. To get rid of the debt they would have to be paid off, a payment plan agreed, or the club goes into administration and the creditors receive an offer of X in the £ of debt. There are pre-packed administration deals whereby the administrator agrees a deal with a buyer so that it speeds up the process. | |

Okay so someone could do what Ken Bates with Chelsea but they become responsible for the great steaming pile of debt? But as they signed on the dotted line, they would be sectioned on grounds of insanity because who in their right mind would do that. | |

Speaking as an ignoramus in this field, if a club/company goes down the administration route and creditors are offered, say, 10p in the £, then is it the company who pays that? What if they can’t even afford that? And what if the creditors refuse such a low offer? | | | |

I believe it either comes out of funds raised by liquidation or what is agreed by the going concern, ie the new company that takes over. If the creditors refuse the offer then either the newco doesn't go ahead or the liquidators pays them anyway as there is no more money available. | |
