As NCFC will be briefing the journos

then the picture will only ever be more rosy than the reality.

Remember the "healthiest financial position ever" nonsense that was peddled a couple of seasons ago?

        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

      - 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

        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

        "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
