Because if the current owners don't get what they want from the council, with the debt that has been built up around the club no one else is going to bail the current owners out, and no one other than the Trust post apocalypse will want to go anywhere near it?
Just a guess.
Well… It’s a rather naive assumption. The Trust don’t have the funds to buy a half decent car let alone bail out a club millions in debt. So administrators would be looking to salvage what they can in terms of assets, of which none exist, so it would most likely mean starting from nothing outside the league. Unless of course some lunatic with millions fancies a pop.
In that scenario, I’d favour a shot at it from those who are already running it. James Whiting and co are just as likely, if not more capable of bringing together a decent management team to bring us back out of the ashes. I can’t see what the Trust would offer that they need. James, Nick Ancell, Gareth Willsher and co have years of experience of running the club. The Trust bring nothing to the table in terms of finance or experience in that field.
