The only connection I want Bernie to have with a kangaroo is when the thing kicks her up the a***.cafcfan said:In case Mrs Perks is looking in and wants to do something constructive to ingratiate herself with the new regime, here's a recipe for kangaroo vol-au-vents (serves 12):
2 teaspoons olive oil
400 grams kangaroo steak, finely diced
200 grams button mushrooms, finely diced
1 onion, finely diced
2 carrots, finely diced
2 sticks celery, finely diced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
200 gram-can diced tomatoes
1/4 cup low sodium beef stock
1/4 cup dry red wine or stock
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
2 teaspoons mixed dried herbs
1 tablespoon tomato paste
Black pepper to taste
Directions:
In a large frying pan, heat oil, add half the meat and cook for three to five minutes, constantly stiring until brown. Remove and set aside.
In the same frying pan, add mushrooms, onion, carrot, celery and garlic and cook until onion is soft.
Add meat, tomato, wine, stock, rosemary and mixed herbs.
Using a wooden spoon, stir to combine. Turn heat to low and cover with tightly-fitting lid, cook, stirring occasionally until meat is tender, normally about 90 minutes.
Season and stir in tomato paste.
Spoon into pastry cases and bake in moderate oven until golden brown.8 -

Tis very close apparently. Bit of a hurdle to get over re former Directors apparently.
Can't verify accuracy of source as it's second hand (at least) to me.

Thought that was only a concern on reach
So you've spoken to them now then?Airman Brown said:

Hmmm, why would the hurdle not be approached ...Airman Brown said:

Someone spoke to two of them at the game on Saturday. It wasn't me. They said they hadn't been approached.carly burn said:

With charges (debentures?) over the assets, the former Directors hold all the aces before anything can be done with the land and buildings, unless of course they are paid off or are prepared to postpone their priority

So are we to conclude that it’s pretty much done and dusted provided the previous directors who have first dibs are willing to play ball ?0

They don't have a veto. The most they can do is insist on full repayment up front and even in that case I expect there would be different positions among them.ShootersHillGuru said:So are we to conclude that it’s pretty much done and dusted provided the previous directors who have first dibs are willing to play ball ?

Do they need to be approached? So long as the buyers accept the existing obligations between the club and the ex directors why do the ex directors need to be approached?Airman Brown said:

How much say have they really got?
If my life savings are tied up with say Barclays and they get taken over by say Santander would I be able to put a halt to proceedings if I thought they wouldn't honour it?
If so,I suppose we have to remember that these are the same directors that gave a fruit cake like Duchatelet the green light to look after their nest egg!
There's still hope.0 -
I should think it would be a courtesy for them to be informed of what was going on.Red_in_SE8 said:

Because their agreement states thats the case unless they come to some other agreement at point of sale. I’m guessingRed_in_SE8 said:

I have to say if it were me I would prefer to take my chances with a new regime rather than Duchatelet.10
