So when Hull City pay back Allamhouse the full amount, somebody somewhere will have to buy the smc including the debt when they sell the club. Would that be taxable profit?

Or, would it be easier for the smc to be liquidated/placed in administration, even if that did mean a new buyer started with a 15 point deduction.

But it's inter-group debt. So it is a £13m asset in City's accounts and a £13m liability in the SMC accounts. Therefore the effect on the overall value of buying both companies together should be nil.

So both for liquidation/admin or neither?

All the debt is currently to the Allams, making neither administration or liquidation at all likely, not unless they fancy not paying themselves.

If they can transfer the debt to an outside lender, then there's a bigger problem, but they haven't, so there isn't.

You keep posing 'how long is a piece of string' questions, there is no answer to them, we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

Time will tell and all that.

You don't have to reply if you do not wish to but seen as you are here, Do the trust still have ambitions to buy the club?

Also, how is the FC Barca East Riding project going? (Asking for a friend)

The Trust never had any ambitions to buy the club.

I've no ****ing idea what the FC Barca East Riding project is.

presumably it makes it easier for him to trouser the money out of Hull City Tigers if they're in profit rather than transfer it if they're not - presumably by leaving the debt in the SMC he can claim that he ran HCTL at a profit but was saddled with the SMC - maybe he then sues the Council for that debt or maybe I'm talking bollox

That £13m in HCTL debtors enhances the football club's position but in reality the SMC is never going to pay that back.

When the Allams talk about wanting their investment back we should be adding the SMC debt to City's debt and using that figure as the 'valuation'
less any external debt (the Aussie bank mainly). Although a chuck of that was paid off in August.
