New buyers put off by £20 million hole in accounts

Just let this sink in lads and lasses. We're at out lowest ever ebb, we're potless and, if this is true, these fellas have taken £20m of our club's money, sold anything that isn't screwed down, have scared away potentially our biggest chance of really doing something in a lifetime and are wanting a king's ransom for the club.
All whilst spending £100k trying to get us out of this God forsaken league, having failed last season.

My guess is one party has seen the actual accounts (my guess is The Times reading their words) and the other have ran a story reflecting some of what they've heard. Both are north-east journalists, Martin Hardy and Craig Hope, probably mates, one with the full story and the other running from snippets he's been given.

Even the structure is the same, where two thirds of the way through they both pad out the article by mentioning the Netflix show.
 
Doesn’t this all go back to the statement they’d originally made that they’d given ES £40m?

Basically the club still owed £25m that American bank I can’t remember the name of so they’d agreed the club would pay it back from the parachute payments.

If they’d have said from the start the purchase price was £15m but the parachute payments will be used to clear the last of the club’s debt then this wouldn’t be such an issue.

They’ve consistently told half truths since day one which is coming back to bite them now.

Unless FPP takeover were nearly finished in my view, very very close to doing a Bury. And some people thought relegation from the premier league would do us good, well I hope they are eating their words now.

Well that would be fair enough if they were only asking £15 million when they are selling, but they are allegedly looking for £40 million
 
Its an absolute disgrace how they can get away with this. They have destroyed this club and want to make a profit its f***ing scary

I remember when SD was first linked he said it would have to be a sensational deal for him to get involved and if he makes £25m profit then it’s looking that way like.
