As Loz says, that's just a fact of being in the Championship

but if it's coming from the EDP and it relates to interpretation of financial / legal matters, it's more likely to be wrong than right!

It's just not their area of expertise, they produced some good stuff explaining the Attanasio share deal, but looked to me like the explanation had come from the club so that there could not be misreporting of what was going on.

  - What massive debt? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 11, 10:42:01

      - Of course, but that's a different point (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 11, 12:44:11
        
        Debt is a fiscal obligation that is yet to be paid (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Oct 11, 13:07:40
        
        The distinction I'm making.... (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 11, 13:24:21
        
        Exactly seems obvious to me the point you are making (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Oct 11, 13:45:40
      - ^^ VMT ^^ (n/m) (NCFC) - JD3, Oct 11, 12:31:40
    - Don't we owe the Attanasios £33m? (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 11, 12:17:51
      - Isn't that just the same debt that was raised against the parachute payments? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 11, 12:47:22
        
        Not sure. This is what was written at the time (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 11, 12:52:20
        
        Where is that from? (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 11, 13:15:30
        
        IIRC that was last year's accounts (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Oct 11, 13:23:02
        
        Yes, that would make sense (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 11, 13:25:24
        
        Yes that was EDP from then (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 11, 13:25:21
        
        No chance one parachute payment clears our debt (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Oct 11, 14:24:24
        
        Parachute payments won't be in the debtors amount as at 30 June 2022 (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 11, 14:31:21
        
        I was just comparing our future (committed) income from players (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Oct 11, 14:41:10
        
        Oh yes, I do agree (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 11, 14:33:05
        
        Yes, we agree on the facts (NCFC) - Henclrikus, Oct 11, 14:35:59
        
        Meant to reply to Heclrikus below rather than to myself!!! (n/m) (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 11, 14:35:54
        
        You could well be right (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 11, 14:01:17
        
        Two paragraphs later in same article (NCFC) - jamesward, Oct 11, 14:07:55
        
        As Loz says, that's just a fact of being in the Championship (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 11, 14:21:58

        "the debt situation" (NCFC) - Cardiff Canary, Oct 11, 19:09:06
    - Yes because that cash can't be ringfenced to pay off debt. Needed for Working Cap req'ts. (NCFC) - JD3, Oct 11, 11:52:05
      - Of course it can, no lender would advance the funds if the cash weren't ring fenced (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 11, 11:56:36
        
        Will we need lots of cash from elsewhere to fund our day-to-day spending then (n/m) (NCFC) - JD3, Oct 11, 12:35:10
        
        Absolutely, that's why sold Aarons and Omabamidele (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 11, 12:42:37

      - Totally agree with that, CWC (NCFC) - SimonOTBC, Oct 11, 11:58:24
    - Aye but that doesn’t suit agenda (n/m) (NCFC) - loz, Oct 11, 10:46:43
  - Zoe Webber widely credited with coming up with that scheme with Tom… (NCFC) - loz, Oct 11, 10:04:44
- Hopefully he can help us back into the Prem and do something Webber failed at. (NCFC) - norwaay, Oct 11, 09:49:35
- But do we actually need one (NCFC) - inutero, Oct 11, 09:34:42
