They provided a loan facility of £10 million to Bristol Rovers 1883 Ltd and in the 2016 financial year Bristol Rovers 1883 Ltd used this to : 1) Pay off the MSP Capital loan of £2.7 million 2) Pay off most of the old directors outstanding loans and bonds of £3.5 million (which is why they gifted the shares to Dwane Sports) 3) Pay approximately £1 million to cover trading losses for 2016 This is why the Dwane Sports loan stood at £7.2 million at 30.06.16 In the 17 months since then the club has continued to trade at a loss, which can be estimated at £1.5 million per year, so the loan must be close to £10 million now So all of Dwane Sports "investment" in Bristol Rovers 1883 Ltd has been in the form of a loan and, because of the legal charge, if they want the loan repaid they are entitled to sell the Mem to get that repayment. The 2016 accounts state that Mr Hani Al Qadi has confirmed his intention to maintain support until at least March 31st 2018. lordjusticegashead Club Legend 2 hours ago Quote Since they will be insolvent by March 31st, that is when Wally's support finishes. Tic toc. Isn’t the league cup final around that time, if Carlsberg did great days ... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I know we only hear about Prem wages so maybe I'm just expecting too much but isn't that only just above minimum wage?!

Neither of them are regular first choice CB's - although the two games they've been paired together we've only conceded 1 goal per game, as opposed to the 3 or 4 per game which we've become accustomed to away from home. In a warped kind of way, that seems like progress! 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they would only end up in League 2 at worst but start level. If they take it next season and start on minus points there`s every chance of them going down again BUT the conference won`t allow a club in admin to join so they`ll have to go even lower. And your problem is???? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
