I agree with your sentiments but the current climate for refinancing is very very bad and these guys have not made good on their business plans, or the uses for the loans (thus far). I would suggest, given the public knowledge availability of a buyer in the wings, the banks would be foolish to refinance when they can foreclose (if the loans are not satisfied) and then sell on OR the club is sold, the debt is re-paid (by purchaser or buy recipient) or refinanced by a more credit worthy purchaser and the bank reduces the risk profile.

Not illegal and goes on all the time - especially if the debt isn't trading in the secondary market. Allegedly all our debt is held by the banks and the banks didn't syndicate it out, or sell any, which means that at worst it's a 3/4 way negotiaton. Wouldn't surprise me if this happens but if RBS have shown their hand to H&G then they won't let it get that late and will sell beforehand. On another note - the club, the current ground etc MUST be the assets which back the loans to KOP Holdings

It'll come out of proceeds and be picked up by the bank which brings the purchaser to the table - as per most sale mandates

If we win more matches I don't care if they play in cling-film.....

That's the top choice from a pretty meagre "Pros" column, the "Cons" is a mile wide and two miles deep. He didn't stack up in any sense, footballing or personality - the club are well rid of him.

Is that John Terry on Nando's lap?

Go on Rafa lad.

Karl-Heinz Riedle

They use the phrase "it is a welcome problem for wine stained delusional c***"....HTH

Red Indians?

King Kenny and stick our skipper on the right.

Lazy f***** should be training that injury away

Agree - think he needs games and an arm round the shoulder - not Rafa's traditional approach but in Babel's would (in my view) be well worth making efforts with.

Yaya Touché?

Pennant does NOT think - this much we know.

Word brother

Was Kewell ever in good form and fit at the same time?

I believe so

The Stoke away fixture has been moved to this Saturday @ 5.30pm,

get him in

Yup that one

Over the next couple of years there will be a very large number of leveraged loan back orgs who will be taken under bank ownership. In fact you can pretty much throw away the rule book re how they will view the bad publicity. If they become holder and developers of organisations they will generate returns of a true nature which will counter-balance the negative aspects of how they came to hold the asset in the first place. Been a lot written in the financial press in the past few weeks. Times are changing which will be both bad and good for us - interesting definitely.

He should play in his gangsta rap posturing mindset - might up the aggression stakes

http://www.football365.co.uk/story/0,17033...4657165,00.html Lawrenson retracts his name dropping and in the process makes himself look like even more of a massive c***.

Wonderful additon to the squad if not demanding ridiculous wages. Happy with a place on the bench? I think not on both counts
