Quote: Ferocious Aardvark "If you look up "debts" in any convenient dictionary, you will learn that this is a word which is traditionally used to refer to money which is owed historically. I.e in what we know as "the past".

Now, look up "future". This is all about things which haven't happened yet. If I buy a business, then indeed I will be responsible for any liabilities it incurs "going forward". I.e in what we know as "the future".

Once you manage (if you do) to grasp the difference between "past" and "future", you then need to progress to more complex expressions, starting with 2-word terms. Work on that, and you'll be well on the way to understanding that "past debts" (which means debts that were run up in the past) is completely different from future liabilities (which means liabilities that will be incurred in the future)

HTH'"


Pot calling kettle black, FA. why didnt you do the text in white, it is far more appropriate for a blue background than blue text which has disappeared into the great blue yonder. otherwise, love it. In fact I am so inspired by it I am going to put my new avatar on, foul language included, so you can see how to do text.

I still don't understand this. There is too many confusing thing happening. None of it really makes sense.
Question 1: Why are we still getting 6 pts deducted if we are getting thrown out next season anyway? Is that not getting punished twice?

Question 2: Has anyone actually stated for a FACT that the club will be out of SL next year unless any potential buyer clears the debts? Is that not imposing conditions on the sale? I thought the RFL didn't like conditions?

Question 1
That is the default penalty for going into administration. What happens after you're in admin is irrelevant in this regard (except for once a bid is accepted/debts are covered by the new owner as with Wakey).

Question 3: How on earth can anyone be expected to make an offer for the club if they don't know what they are getting?

This raises far more issues than it solves imo.

Why is it irrelevant? Wakefield were not thrown out. Why is it different for us?

kcab sfrawdder Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done But he with a chuckle replied That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.

YOU CAN LEARN FROM THE PAST BUT NOT RELIVE IT.YOU CAN HOPE FOR THE FUTURE BUT CAN NEVER BE SURE THERE WILL BE ONE.:



Quote: Starbug "Id suggest exactly the opposite , to own a club in the same competition would be a huge conflict of interest, you will be visiting the LSV next year'"


There is a precidence for this though, several years ago when Hull and Gateshead merged (cough ,cough) they were paid one million pounds to do so. But although everyone assumes the money came from the RFL it was actually taken from the budgets of the other Super League teams and was shown up on the account as our club owning 10% of Hull. I never did find out what hapened subsiquent years to that money.
All this talk of how sorry people feel for those who are working for nothing is very commendable.I felt bad yesterday when I attended an organised social of around 150 people with major disabilities who had booked Odsal for a party some time back and paid £300 deposit.A few weeks back they were contacted twice telling them to find alternative venue and they would not be geting their deposit back. Early this week they were asked if they were coming along to the booking and they replied that they had been told to find somewhere else so they had .So they were reminded they would be only geting 25% back. I felt ashamed to be a rugby league fan , I couldn`t look them in the face they have already had their budgets cut this year.

Hope without planning is about as futile as waiting for a harvest without planting ------------------------------------- THE FIRST THING TO MAKE A DREAM COME TRUE,IS TO WAKE UP:icons3ae4_files/4583-27sowhat-msnicons.gif



Quote: MjM "Just on this marginally interesting front, SLE used to own a batch of shares in Hull FC - redeemable, convertable Ordinary shares which had no voting or dividend rights.

The 2003 Leeds accounts tell us that, "the investment relates to the purchase of £250,000 worth of shares in Hull RLFC by Super League Europe Limited (SLE). SLE holds these shares as the authorised agent on behalf of the twelve clubs who participated in the 1999 Super League season. "

i.e. SLE put some initial capital into Gateshead to get the club up and running. Somewhat different to the case of the Bullies, but a precedent of sorts for the other clubs having a stake in another member club. (The 2002 Hull Annual Return also shows a tasty batch of Hull FC shares owned by a Mr G Hetherington but that's another matter entirely).'"



Are the shares worth anything though. If they are could they be sold?

Quote: Nothus "They might not bother with a replacement. 13 club SL next year? It wouldn't require a new sky contract iirc.'"


It would mean 24 matches rather than 27 , no magic weekend with an odd number of games

Let all the doubters keep doubting and those who believe keep believing. We’re only interested in those in the bubble. Anyone who wants to come in the bubble, you can come in. But you’ve got to keep believing.:86.jpg



Quote: Cassandra "Are the shares worth anything though. If they are could they be sold?'"

SLE appeared to sell them on for around 5p a share (presumably either back to Hull or to Hull's owners) in 2004. So, in a word - they were worth **** all. As you would expect shares in a Rugby League club to be. Few people are in this to make money - most are just concerned with trying to achieve a balance between getting a winning team and minimising the losses.

How much can us, the fans, raise by the end of Nov? Could this help with any potential buyer who maybe wants to get involved but wants some support?

If the debts are nearing £1m do we need to start again fundraising?

Too late, any fundraising you do now would be to help fund your upcoming seasons in the Championship
