Yep. While you never know what a lawyer can do, especially with this much money, I think it's quite cut and dry.
- Hicks and Gillett bent over a barrel. Can't repay loan.
- Ask RBS for extension
- RBS response: Yes, if we can add a 5th man to the board so that you don't have control!
- H&G say "Okayyyyy let's do this! Moneymoneymoney we live to offload LFC for one billion dollars another day!!"
- New deadline looms, a majority of the board sells the team. Nothing fishy at all.
I also have to mention that if I remember correctly, there were several meetings with NESV, and H&G simply chose not to show up. There was nothing done in secret. They simply chose not to be part of the negotiation process. Hell if they did, maybe they squeeze another 20-30 million quid out of them. I hope some day they accept that they completely made this mess themselves. Wonder if Hicks has time to go to the saddledome next Wednesday for the Stars game? If I hear he's there, I'm buying a ticket.
