Radz takeover under threat due to GFH. Essentially, LUFC still owe £17million to GFH and if the takeover goes ahead this 'debt' will be transferred to the new owner. Radrizzani is not happy with this and it is slowing the deal and apparently may even threaten it completely.

I believe that the debenture agreed between Cellino and GFH states that on transfer of ownership GFH are entitled to have their debt repaid full immediately. There may also be some disagreements with regards to payment bonuses that GFH are entitled to (under the debenture) if the club achieve promotion.

There's that number 17 again. I never realized running a football club into oblivion was worth 17 million. Learn something new each day. Wood and Charlie should take care of that bill. Small price to pay to get rid of those useless imposters for good.

George. Bit harsh on Wood after all the goals he's scored

12 May 2017 19:08:23
Speedy I'm with George. he wasn't been harsh, but if it got them out and rads in I'd sell him too

Not really Speedy. Wood under Monk Pep and Beatts tutelage is a very good player now but 15m solves a big problem. It's called the stench which is GFH. Like Aussie (lol) I like Wood but I despise GFH more. Time to balance books a little and I don't want to hear about that islamic "bank" ever again.

Another wasted joke. Completely lost on George just like my Nostradamus one. I wasn't talking about selling Wood. I agree with that if it gets rid of GFH ( Bates )

Ah I see what you did there speedy. subtle, but funny when you get it. Good man! 😂

Rad will just put in a personal 'loan' to the club to cover it with the business side having to pay it back, that way it will only effect us over years rather than screwing our FF for the season.

You'd have thought Radz would know about that right at the start of any investment wouldn't you? I think it's the how and the how much that is causing a delay. Another reason why Radz wouldn't have wanted promotion this year though eh? Bet GFH would have got more if we went up.

Guys, I'd rather get rid of Pontus instead of Wood, rumoured to be worth the same. His attitude, if believed, can be questionable at times. Could his little tantrum ruined the play off place for us? Was it coincidence that our dip in form and him losing his place in the match day squad started around the same time?

Could Taylor let his contract run down and leave on the 30th of June then sign for a team on the 18th of September (his 24th birthday) so we get nothing?

12 May 2017 07:21:47
No we're entitled to compensation

12 May 2017 16:07:59
Why would Taylor care for us not to pocket 4m? I don't believe his avoidance play would assist him because he would still have left our club by running his contract down rejecting our offer in order to accept a contract with another club albeit after a little delay. He leaves us before he is 24. Should be all that matters.

12 May 2017 16:39:12
I think like his agent he could get 2m in his bank and Charlie 3m in his bank we get 0

12 May 2017 19:14:52
Do you think Charlie will give you some of the money, Hardy?

13 May 2017 03:41:23
Its age at contract end not age at signing I think.

He's from our academy, so we'd be guaranteed some development fee payment anyway.
