I'm not going to argue about the finer points of accounting with you. I concede to your better knowledge and understanding every time. I learn from you on this subject and have nothing to add. I'd like you and @Sheriff to discuss this though as you're both saying different things.
The source is linked in my 'war and peace' post from yesterday. It's the BFCST update that Gally provided, and the information came to him directly from a club source. I've relied on this consistently and have no reason to question it's validity, particularly as the subsequent reduction to £3.5m stated in that source ties in exactly with the current position regarding the £750k and £2.75m residual balance. Your own analysis, as you've stated, comes from review of the Oakwell Holdings Accounts, so is built up entirely separately from mine. I've always been mindful that there's a difference between two, but it has never impacted the overall picture regarding the underlying issue on which I've been focused, which is the £750k payment.
Yes I can say with almost absolute certainty this is what happened with the reduction from 6m to 3.5m when promotion was far from certain
But in terms of my overall point that probably strengthens it further. Not only did these potential owners need help setting up the Facebook group, they entrusted someone who didn't really know how to do it properly. Although these could have been people following a similar path to on Twitter where 'Schopp Out' and 'Conway Out' were both Twitter accounts.
if that is the case the accounts of Oakwell Holdings have been incorrectly filed. If you can substantiate that claim then the auditor has signed off on a set of incorrect accounts.
Loko gets more stick on here than most and doesn't really get much support on the things he gets stick on.
I'm going to change Loko in the swear filter to 'God' or 'the amazing Loko'. I actually think it's a BBS debut in terms of someone typing the word 'Viceroy'
