Yeah, pretty much my reading of it. A few things I'm thinking:
- MG plays hardball, and it backfires and looks like he loses everything, so calls up the administrator saying 'Ok, I'll take 10p in the pound'.
- Dubious management information being cited as one of the blockers to a takeover, so making everyone redundant and severing all contractual ties makes this MI issues far less relevant: the can of worms has been emptied. Means we lose players but a buyer can take the club with suitable level of knoweldge.
- Wage bill for next year was simply too high. We lose our stars but now a purchase is viable. Looks like a false economy to me, but there we go.
Whatever the case, this is madness.
Suspect possibly a), to be honest. Obviously without knowing the actual figures, I thought the wage bill for
next year was looking far better than it has for a while. The squad size, and therefore wage bill, for the last two years must have been ludicrous however.
