Without being confirmed as Fit and Proper owners, Via the F&P Test?

@stevecarpo: "Otium has purchased the right and title to certain assets possessed in Ltd inc the shares in the Football League and the FA #SkyBlues

@stevecarpo: Mr Appleton: "I've tried to undertake a sale process which allows the club to compete in all of next season's competitions." #SkyBlues

@stevecarpo: "The FL have been kept informed and I am continuing to work closely with them so that the process of transferring the share can begin."

Maybe the FL have indicated to him that they're going to ratify the takeover.

they can purchase the company without passing F&P so that's not an issue (not at this point anyway) but what about the requirement for the creditors meeting and the cooling off period, how have they got round that if they're legal requirements?

In any other situation this would be good news.
But this leaves a bitter taste in the mouth.

SO WHAT DOES THAT MEAN??


Otium has purchased the right and title to certain assets possessed in Limited including the shares in the Football League and the Football Association. I stress that I have only been able to sell such right and title to these as Limited possesses because CCFC Holdings Ltd asserts beneficial ownership over them."

There's only one way to stop the rot, and there's only one way to do that; pull the plug on sisu, and start again. While ACL have no team, we have power! Time's running out!

I am really confused, I thought we had already been sold to Optium and were awaiting the FL agreement.

So how does this statement connect with that the FL have to still agree, or am I wrong?

Should the Creditors meeting come before The agreement of Sale .Is there a touch of bouncing the league along here?

So far PA had said Optium were the preferred bidders. He is now saying they have completed their takeover which would mean we're no longer in admin (not sure how this has been done without the creditors meeting taking place). That's a business transaction and has nothing to do with the FL. There is no requirement to pass F&P for them to legally takeover the company.

Now the question would be what happens if they don't pass F&P. I would imagine they would then have to try and sell to an owner who would pass unless there is some clause that allows them to pass control back to PA in the event of them failing F&P.

The administrator agrees the sale. The creditors agree on the settlement arising from the sale.

The sale will happen it's just the arrangements for exiting administration that are in question?

Everything is starting to seem back to normal, shit owners as usual and a bunch of fans happy to bend over and be fucked by them. Bury your head in the sand guys.
