Paul, do you still believe the HMRC challenged this on the basis of securing more money rather than the using it as an excuse to challenge football being preferential creditors? We are told Bates offered 8% unconditionally at the last minute, HMRC turned that down to continue the legal challenge to the CVA. 1. How much more in cash terms above that 8% did they expect to get from another bidder? 2. Did they know that this action would (or might) extend beyond the start of the season and therefore threaten the very existence of the club? 3. If your answer to 2 is Yes (which I doubt), did they not foresee that KPMG might have to scrap the CVA? 4. How much more money have they got now? The challenge was weeks in the planning not > an > overnight kneejerk reaction to some MP's questions. So I will ask this question again, which noone else seems to have answered - why did the MPs raise the question in the first place if it made no difference at all? I have worked in the civil service Paul, I dont know if you have? One thing is for certain, that political pressure is always placed on civil servants and actions result. > > > I asked a question on the list a few days ago I don't think anyone > answered, so I'll ask it again: > Is the club now better off as a result of the three "Leeds fan" > MPs > successfully sabotaging the CVA? > > Nope, Thank you, we all agree and lived happily ever after. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
