Maybe, but that only mentioned ‘financial commitments’ - there was no reference to transfer funds (or anything else for that matter ). The £26 million was what they wanted to be able to send to which the DoE objected (hearing of 7/6/23) The £3.54 million was the sum they said was needed to prevent HMRC issuing a winding up order. (hearing of 23/6/23) As an interim measure, the judge (in trying to balance the two sides) allowed this lower sum to be remitted.

Can I ask where you’ve got that from as I can’t see any reference to requesting funds for transfers ( or the judge rejecting the same) in the original order. Just to add, the only condition for the first payment was the guarantee - the other conditions were added later.

Suck on that Balaji

I’m around 7 miles away (as the crow flies) dry here at the moment too. A nice uneventful hour once they get back on would be good. 🤞

You took ‘retain this portion’ literally didn’t you 😀😀

No I’m not - how very dare you 😁😁 I meant to tire Bumrah out not increase his fitness/form. 😀

Potentially - opinions may differ on whether this will actually happen.

Too late 😁 - don’t you dare hit the hide button 😁😁

Additional court conditions… The club’s auditors have to provide a certificate confirming the use of the funds. Venkateshwara Hatcheries have to submit bank statements for both Venkys London and BRFC to substantiate the use (and final destination) of the funds.

I think the rain will end up the winner today but getting some overs in Bumrah’s legs might benefit us later in the series.

£4.85 million for one quarter x 4 = very close to the much vaunted £20 million a year 🤔🧐

Perhaps we should do @K-Hod a list to take to the next fans’ forum 😁😁 I’ll make a start (and apologise for going so off topic at the same time 😁): Was the overdraft facility renewed in May and if so were the terms at least as favourable as before? Can you confirm that the owners now only have to return to court to send monies if they’re also seeking to vary the condition placed upon them to do so? During the period of the investigation, have the owners ever sought permission (either through the courts or directly with the Directorate of Enforcement) to send player purchase funds? (and if not, why not?)

and also how they got on with renewing the overdraft facilities in May.

Just to correct the LT’s error - the request was made to the court on the 22nd April, the 26th May was when the court issued the order granting permission.

I assume this one will be a second string but you never know with our lot…
