Let’s not forget that we basically got a £1.2 million hospitality block for free and many more £thousands of unpaid for goods and services too, so we’re no angels either.

FFS that was twenty years ago and a completely different club, so lets just look forwards instead of backwards for a change

I think that's a little unfair to quote Avenger. All he was saying is that it's not really fair to have a go at other clubs for doing something to save their club at the expense of others when we've done similar, admittedly on a smaller scale.
He's just showing the full picture.

At the same time as the Hospitality block and the administration that followed. Lots of local businesses and staff from the club didn’t get paid.

How long was it since Huddersfield and Sheffield merged?

Just to give the full picture. MC paid everyone when he took over as far as I remember. He could have claimed administration but took the hit to help out suppliers and improve our broken rep.

Getting a bit of topic now but . . .

For the full picture, The Hospitality block was defaulted upon under the Pearman regime, After that Administration, Ted did the deal for it to remain but he subsequently put us back in an insolvency event which lead to Glover taking us over.

Elston then ran the club into the ground again leading to another potential Administration which had it happened would have seen us relegated to the 3rd tier of the sport. Chris Brereton and Mike Carter took on the club and avoided the Administration for a variety of reasons which I’ve posted about before. They made deals with creditors and paid everyone something with some receiving full payment from the club.

What’s that got to do with anything?

Regarding the hospitality block I think you might be wrong unless I am. At that time I’m sure the club entered into a CVA, and although the % in the £ was quite small, the club did make some payment to it’s creditors.
