Donald to meet efl tomorrow

[Safc88]

No that’s what is terrifying me. If this does fall through, where the hell do we go from here?

Fucks knows. It just can’t come to that like.

Short remains in his current state of ownership/limbo and Bain is rebooted and instructed to find other potential buyers while on the pitch we flirt with relegation to League Two when the majority of players leave and the U23s become the first team squad.

If it had fallen through, there would surely be no need to meet with the EFL this morning would there?

To try and turn it back round and resolve issues they have raised.. (just guessing like).

A knew knob who's ITK and a 70's piano player

I'm still going to Blackpool and Fleetwood no matter what

 

[SAFC Wilks]

Just played the audio on radio Newcastle of Conway asking Short the questions. Short comments "really sorry but I can't comment". Not that he refused, he obviously can't say anything at the minute.

This

It’s part of the procedure where they can’t discuss any specific details.

Conway is a journo and that is what he's tweeted, of course he may be sexing it up cos he is a journo

 

[KittenMittens]

You heard anything?

Nope. Haven't asked either tbf. I'm kind of assuming that since Donald is in the middle of something he can't control, there's not loads to actually know

@Grumpy Old Man "And finally, as sources have told me, is he planning to take SAFC’s next two PL parachute payments as part of the deal?" Is this even possible?

No it wouldn’t be allowed which is why there is speculation around the legitimacy of the deal

Can’t wait

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

Could there be a tax benefit to it?

No, there's no group structure that allows offsets, and it's not clear exactly where Short is tax-resident. I'll admit I'm not clued up on US personal taxation, but it's very unusual that a capital loss (ie a loss on the sale of an investment) can be offset against income. It's certainly not possible in UK or Irish tax law (which are the other two jurisdictions which could apply to Short). Unless, of course, he's made a massive capital gain somewhere else.

 

[Napoleon Dynamite]

Would anyone be surprised if he took the next two payments

Said all along he was writing the debt off himself

No it wouldn’t be allowed which is why there is speculation around the legitimacy of the deal

Why would it not be allowed?

 

[Tin Soldier]

be league 2 here we come if this fall through and we stuck with Ellis

At least we'll have a hotel to go to

@Grumpy Old Man "And finally, as sources have told me, is he planning to take SAFC’s next two PL parachute payments as part of the deal?" Is this even possible?

As I said on the other thread, only if Donald agrees to a deed of assignment in the purchase deal. That's the only way, legally, it could really be done. As this would then leave the consortium having to replace those payments with either loans or an immediate capital input equating to the parachute payment, it's hard to see why they would agree to that, rather than just paying Short directly.

 

[Banks]

Says he's an ex Sunderland player on his twitteT home page. When did he play for us?? Suggests he's another one of Mick Gray's arse lick brigade.

Think his family homed the yts players as well. Knows a lot of the players probablys good mates with Gray and Howey
