As I understood the situation as laid out by Kris Wigfield last Friday in an interview with Rob Staton, and reiterated by a caller to Football Heaven last night, that the 15 point deduction (if the 25% payment to the creditors wasn’t met) was very much dependent on when the deal was concluded.
I believe that he stated that if it was completed before March then the points deduction would happen this season, and after that date the deduction would be applied next season.
Also he did stipulate that the value of the bids would more than likely meet the creditors 25% required settlement.
He also mentioned in one of his interviews that the 25% is a EFL requirement and not a legal requirement as some people seem to think to the contrary.
One other thing to mention is that in an earlier interview (not sure if it was Kris or one of the financial experts in an interview on TalkSport) it was stated that once the deal to buy the club is finalised, as far as the creditors payout is concerned, the new owners has the opportunity to to argue the case of the merits of paying Ch*****I the full amount he he is owed due to the miss management of the club.
