    After 14 notifications it seems I need to respond.

    I will argue the posts from sundry parties since my last contribution prove my point. There are so many stories out there nobody apart from those at the negotiating tables can be certain of their information beyond the fact the takeover has not been completed with EFL approval.

    I have made no suggestion NLA has an agenda. If I had it would have put me in the same category as the "miscreants" the other night.

    My argument is the tone of the message, the persistence of its repetition, the nature of the information/ disinformation, the positioning of the argument indicate to me (as I clearly stated) someone somewhere has an agenda.

    I have not even attached any negative connotation to such agenda. Due to the nature of the argument I could but unlike the scenarios faced within 40yrs of the corporate world I am not close enough to the parties to determine the ambition of such an agenda.

    Unless you are a party directly involved with the negotiations, bound by NDAs, someone linked to those negotiations is sharing what they believe to be true. I have been to far too many meetings with where people actually at the same meeting walked away with entirely different perceptions all before they added their own influence to the information. It is precisely why people take minutes.

    Thus by definition such information is 2nd or 3rd hand and for every layer open to further "interpretation" all of which ignores the point, until the deal is done or not done, people play games.

    IF the deal means separation of the ownership of club and ground I will reserve judgement as to what that means for the future of the club until the details are known. I have stressed it is not ideal but it has to be viewed in the context of where we are today and how we get out of this friggin mess. In such event the devil will be in the detail.

    In terms of negotiations I lost count of the lendings I declined as a bank manager because the customer was not investing sufficient equity into the deal. It is amazing what people will do when push comes to shove. I would estimate at least 60% came back with a more appropriate application or greater equity investment.

    With this level of investment there are no guarantees. In 1993 I spent 6 months on a team working with a US bank to launch a joint venture. We even announced the deal at a conference in NY. The US bank paid for the industry conference and the celebratory dinner. The CEO of the Financial Corporation who owned the US bank killed the deal at the dinner table.

    In 1995 I spent 2 weeks in NY thrashing out the same deal with another US Bank. We shook hands on the deal on a Friday. Monday morning we received a letter to buy us out!!!

    In 1997/8 I spent 18 months working on a different joint venture with a technology company in Texas. They walked away once. We walked away once. We shook hands on the deal twice and then the bank was subject to a takeover bid and the funding was pulled.

    Fortunately I was somewhat more successful with other negotiations or I would have been out of a job.
    .
    For us there is ultimately only one man who knows where he will allow ithe numbers to fall and even he will not know whether he can indeed walk away with what he wants.

    Thus I can but repeat the nature of the debate which transpired served nobody.

    If the Australians decide to walk away we are left with what exactly?

    I have no problem with anyone sharing what they are hearing but at any given point unless you are sitting at the negotiating table 24/7 there is no call to attack or aggressively dismiss anyone.

    Such an approach shuts people down and reduces the flow of information. Who exactly does that serve?




    Is Henry paying you, so he can get to a 1,000 pages by midnight?
    No but in summary he's saying WIOTOS
    Team #wiotos means no more posts though, meaning you fall short of an epic achievement (of sorts).

    @Airman Brown I've read your latest VOTV article and it's given me some hope if I've understood it correctly. Can you reassure me please?

    - it only needs one ex director to refuse the debt to be cleared by RD and he can't lease out the Valley

    - the ex-directors can refuse to have the debt paid (this bit I don't get)

    Thank you

    As I understand it the ex directors cannot refuse FULL repayment of their loans and that RD had tried to cut a deal or he was not prepared to satisfy the repayment terms as per the debentures. Therefore a lease on the Valley cannot be granted without ALL the debenture holders agreement.
    Thank you @RedChaser

    So if Roland did pay out according to the repayment terms he could lease the Valley?

    What's a debenture?
    Yes that's it, clear all the debt secured by the ex directors debentures and the Valley becomes unencumbered (free of charges).

    Mortgage Debentures per se are Legal charges usually sought by banks from Limited Companies who have lending facilities which are regarded as security attaching all assets of the company both fixed (including specific charges over land) and floating over all current assets i.e. the debtor book.

    Without seeing the actual terms of the debentures entered into it is difficulty to comment further but it would appear four directors were happy to give priority (sign a deed to this effect) and three weren't because full repayment has not been offered.
    Thank you @RedChaser

    This confirms my fear that he'll pay them all off and try to lease the Valley.

    It also reminds me why I don't work in finance. Chickens are so much easier to understand.
    RD doesn't even need to pay the lot of them off to lease The Valley and Sparrows Lane.

    My understanding based on Airman Brown answering my questions a few pages ago is that if we have the scenario of 3 ex directors refusing to take a haircut on there loans RD could potentially pay the 3 off in full leaving us with 4 ex directors all happy for RD to lease The Valley and Sparrows Lane. RD wouldn't even need to pay off the 4 remaining ex directors to then be able to strike a deal with The Aussies.

    This for me should it happen is the worst possible outcome of this takeover.
    I don't know if anyone knows the terms but the charges are listed individually rather than as a group.

    All 7 debentures are listed individually on the companies house website. Click on each debenture and the terms are listed - but look a bit complex to decipher.

    It does beg the question though with the relatively small sum to be cleared from the those directors who are holding out for full repayment why RD doesn't bite the bullet. Still the bloke is so unpredictable, never wrong and doesn't do failure it should be no surprise to us unless the devil is the detail for him.
    Perhaps the Aussies aren't interested in a leased Valley. It's all or nothing for them, but only if they can get the money in time.

    Why have a pre season in Portugal with no actual players?

    It’s cheaper that way.

    Great value. Less players means less expense and he is only wasting his money on the nucleus of the side. @rolandthegenius

    Maybe because he sold Lennon and Konsa for cash discounts he might think he's on a roll and arrogant enough to think that the ex-directors will accept cash discounts too.
    From what I understand the three in question have had this position for over a year and are not going to budge, however if they are paid in full and the other four ex Directors take discounts thereafter and or allow Leases then he can do what he likes.
    And from what the VOTV article implied, the cost of paying them off is less than half of the 7 million total. Surely Roland could afford that?

RD wouldn't even need to pay off the 4 remaining ex directors to then be able to strike a deal with The Aussies.

    This for me should it happen is the worst possible outcome of this takeover.
    I don't know if anyone knows the terms but the charges are listed individually rather than as a group.

    @Airman Brown I've read your latest VOTV article and it's given me some hope if I've understood it correctly. Can you reassure me please?

    - it only needs one ex director to refuse the debt to be cleared by RD and he can't lease out the Valley

    - the ex-directors can refuse to have the debt paid (this bit I don't get)

    Thank you

    As I understand it the ex directors cannot refuse FULL repayment of their loans and that RD had tried to cut a deal or he was not prepared to satisfy the repayment terms as per the debentures. Therefore a lease on the Valley cannot be granted without ALL the debenture holders agreement.
    Thank you @RedChaser

    So if Roland did pay out according to the repayment terms he could lease the Valley?

    What's a debenture?
    Yes that's it, clear all the debt secured by the ex directors debentures and the Valley becomes unencumbered (free of charges).

    Mortgage Debentures per se are Legal charges usually sought by banks from Limited Companies who have lending facilities which are regarded as security attaching all assets of the company both fixed (including specific charges over land) and floating over all current assets i.e. the debtor book.

    Without seeing the actual terms of the debentures entered into it is difficulty to comment further but it would appear four directors were happy to give priority (sign a deed to this effect) and three weren't because full repayment has not been offered.
    Thank you @RedChaser

    This confirms my fear that he'll pay them all off and try to lease the Valley.

    It also reminds me why I don't work in finance. Chickens are so much easier to understand.

    It does beg the question though with the relatively small sum to be cleared from the those directors who are holding out for full repayment why RD doesn't bite the bullet. Still the bloke is so unpredictable, never wrong and doesn't do failure it should be no surprise to us unless the devil is the detail for him.
    Maybe because he sold Lennon and Konsa for cash discounts he might think he's on a roll and arrogant enough to think that the ex-directors will accept cash discounts too.
    From what I understand the three in question have had this position for over a year and are not going to budge, however if they are paid in full and the other four ex Directors take discounts thereafter and or allow Leases then he can do what he likes.
    On the other hand if I was an ex director who saw 3 others get paid off I would probably think about changing my position to get a pay off as well - i assume these ex directors talk occasionally...
    I expect Murray is happy to leave his money there to keep his toe in.
    Well if there is a scenario where the other 6 directors got paid up and walk away would he really want to take the entire fall on his own for the club essentially losing the valley and training ground?

    :blush:

    Damn ! I vowed not to contribute to this thread again !
    All the more reason to assume the other 4 may get pissed off if 3 of them get paid up and they don't and maybe change their stances?

    And from what the VOTV article implied, the cost of paying them off is less than half of the 7 million total. Surely Roland could afford that?
    But don’t they ALL have to agree to being payed off first ... so if even one disagrees then it can’t go ahead??

    All 7 debentures are listed individually on the companies house website. Click on each debenture and the terms are listed - but look a bit complex to decipher.

    I've had a look at those, they're pretty basic and don't specifically list the Property titles however no doubt this was covered by the registration of them at the Land Registry. Sight of the loan agreement forms would be more revealing as to the specific details of the advance.

    I would like to observe that it's slightly worrying that a significant proportion of our user base hasn't worked out that pages all have exactly 30 posts, and long posts don't help the page count in that way.

    Whether it's a simple WIOTOS or a Grapevine extravaganza, they all count the same toward the page count.

    #NoOneElseHasAnythingConstructiveToAddAnywaySoIThoughtIWouldSayThis

    This. Or 30,000 comments.
  • For anyone who doesn’t want to read the first 994 pages i’ll sum it up below...

    Roland still wants out
    Aussies don’t have the dough
    Doucher is Colin
    James Seed supports Millwall
    A lot of us like Pot Noodles
    NLA doesn’t know certain long words
    I vaguely recall a section on some sort of kettle
    We’re all really good at fish puns
    Blackpool still wants him to sell up and fuck off
    Most of us would like him to take Murray with him
    Nappa’s shit at maths
    Scarfy made a brief appearance
    Mark Curry from Blue Peter showed up once and hasn’t been seen again
    We’re not moving to the peninsular... yet
    And in the words of Henry - let’s all WIOTOS!

    I can't answer for everyone.
    But you are spot on regarding me.
  • edited June 2018

    Is Henry paying you, so he can get to a 1,000 pages by midnight?


    I feel it should be organic and not for members just to quote the verbose but talented Mr Ripley Grapevine

    There's enough compost we can use to reach the milestone.

    Spaceman came down to answer some things
    Charlton Life gathered round from paupers to kings
    "I'll answer your questions, I'll answer them true,
    I'll show you the way, you'll know what to do"

    Who is wrong and who is right?
    Yellow, brown, black or white?

    Spaceman, he answered, "You'll no longer mind
    I've opened your eyes, you're now colour-blind"

    The spaceman looked human, but with black shiny eyes
    He spoke brilliant English, his voice synthesised
    Travelled the web just spreading the word
    Of love and takeovers, he picked up a bird
    The bird it was dead, but he made it just fine
    He walked on the water, and turned it to wine
    A young poster he said, "Are you Muir in a mask?"
    No I'm just ITK but I can see why you'd ask
