Sometimes it is very difficult to tell what is very clever advanced planning and what is sheer blind luck when your balls are in a vice.
It was the LU coverage rights given to Yorkshire Radio (and to nobody else such as the BBC) which allowed YR to be given significant levels of voting rights in the CVA votes. It wasn't that the club owed them money but the argument was that their unique rights to coverage meant that they would suffer financial damages if the club went out of business. They were a separate entity at the time and their votes were sufficient to ensure that the CVA was won by an incredibly slender margin. Nobody knew that YR had any votes - or at least nobody mentioned it - at the CVA meeting itself, but everyone was made aware after KPMG had adjourned over the week-end and announced the miniscule margin of victory on the following Monday. So was it just luck that the circumstances contrived to win that vote as a result of YR holding unique rights ? _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
