Sorry JJ, I missed that post. That makes sense, so in theory even if this rumour of him having found someone who's willing to refinance is spot on, it could still be a no go as the board will, hopefully, be unwilling to give him what he needs to secure the new loan.

In a nutshell. The $64,000 question is whether he has anything else available which could be acceptable as security.
Incidentally I managed to get some useful info.from a Manc mate of mine who e-mailed me to crow about Blackpool and the situation generally. He's a retired solicitor and, once he'd calmed down, I asked him one or two things about company law, particularly whether the board would be obliged to act in the interests of the shareholders (Hicks and Gillett) at all times. Turns out the answer is no, they wouldn't. In this guy's view it is possible for them to vote in a way which wouldn't suit H and G, provided they can demonstrate that doing what H and G want would damage the club. Apparently the word is that this is the broad thrust of the advice received by the majority on the board from London lawyers when they voted down Hicks' previous attempt to use the club as security for a refinance. (It also suggests Moores could have turned H and G's bid down right at the beginning, but let's not go there. >🙁)
