Took time but!..

I think it took us 10 years at least to pay Robbie Fowler's outstanding wages but one way or the other we did finally pay all our footballing debts.
Sadly local traders got next to nothing a few pence in the pound at the most with Monaco tax exile Bates at the helm.....Nightmarish times!

Just get him sold, get the money (as much as poss up front) and move on.

Main emotion for me is boredom about the whole protracted affair.

He's done fabulous for us, wants a move to his favoured club - hopefully it gets resolved to satisfy all parties.

Surely all debts associated with a football club are football debts regardless of whether they are to other football clubs or not. You can be as pedantic as you like.

Know your history pal.

Your wrong, and now trying some strange twisting and ignoring questions 🤣🤣

My memory was all football debts were paid by Leeds. A lot of managers and footballers were getting paid for years after we went down.

Bates i think paid only 1p in the pound to other debts so a lot of businesses got screwed.

Unfortunately not all debts accrued by a professional football club are classed as footballing debts they are quite specific and different to owing the local bakery £100 and owing player x.,y or z £100, 000 in wages.

For a football club in administration, the "football creditors rule" requires football-related debts such as wages owed to players and staff, and transfer fees owed to other clubs to be paid first but I'm assuming in our case players like Fowler agreed to be paid in installments but he didn't have to and could have forced the club to be liquudated to get his money if he wanted to and is what we can do to Barcelona if they try to be cute and wriggle out of their commitments.

To summarise.

We don’t need to stress or lose any sleep over Barcelona not paying what we will be owed if the sale goes through.

Why on earth would Raphinna want to go to a club that's bankrupt - it is beyond me !
