xxxx 0 Posted August 16, 2010 I think it is much more significant that, seven months after appointing Deloitte to “help the club consider their options”, there is still no sign of major new investment.It was the club’s primary creditors, AXA and Bank of Scotland, who insisted on the calling in Deloitte in the hope that the “professional services organisation” would find someone willing to take over the club."It should not surprise anyone living in the real world – which excludes those who fell for the Peter Cullum tosh – that, so far, Deloitte have not been successful. Nor was Keith Harris, the deal-maker Delia Smith and Michael Wynn-Jones had already asked to hunt for an investor.There simply is not a queue of oil-rich Arabs or Russians forming along Rouen Road. There never has been.And the reason for the dearth of interest is the same reason AXA and Bank of Scotland want City to find a buyer. They want their money back.Under the standard terms of the loans, anyone buying the club must settle the debt or renegotiate it, and the lenders don’t want to renegotiate. They want the £23 million or so they are owed.That was why David Gold and David Sullivan did no more than run a cursory eye over City’s last financial results when they were looking for a club to buy. I had a series of email conversations with Sullivan, but he indicated that the debt was too big and Norwich too far from his home near Epping.Those financial results were grim, in case you have forgotten. The auditors reported doubts about whether the business could continue as a going concern. Since then, new chairman Alan Bowkett has eked some more time from AXA and Bank of Scotland – and so has done as much for our club as anyone in its recent history.But the debt has to be whittled down much more and as quickly as possible. That is why I for one didn’t complain when I discovered that prices of pies and pints and the rest had been “rounded up”, as chief executive David McNally put it. Fans cannot urge Delia and Michael to leave huge amounts in the club and then quibble over the cost of a cup of coffee." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
