Sorry, I've not followed everything here, but is the general jist that we are using short-term finance at punitive rates just to meet operating costs?

I think so. The real question is just how 'punitive' these rates are in comparison to other clubs, and just how unusual these types of loans are to football clubs not rolling in Prem money.

After following last nights events unfold I for the life of me can not see hardly any positives with our current predicament speaking to a accountant football fan earlier this morning at work and showing him this forum, the latest accounts , revelations etc and all he said was the club is hanging by a very very thin thread which can break at any time ..the loans payday loans or call them short term loans whatever at that kind of interest are not a common practice in business not at them interest rates .

yet some posters on here are still defending venkys , being taken in by Senior and as for Cheston he's a financial guy not a football guy who seems to be way out of his depth...

You just can't get away with doing that long-term, unless your income is projected to rise. Each successive loan will be paying off a greater amounted of rolled-up interest from the previous loan.

Short-term loans, in my admittedly patchy experience, are for exceptional costs.

This is just not sustainable and without external funding or some other similar change in circumstance, it's only a matter of time before the wolves are at the door. I can't see how can get out of this, especially since income is going down, if anything.

Honest-to-God, this is worrying. Not being melodramatic or anything, it's just common sense.

The accountant and web share blogger (Ex-Fino Journo) when we met and i briefed him and two weeks ago sent the accounts over he wondered how we were not bust. Andy Neil a local based accuntant, standing for the RT by the way with his own company also clarfies matters further, think he used the terminology of being at the bottom of a volcano ready to erupt. 

Time people less informed less educated potentially opened there eyes. We are one and together in this but we can't do it without each other.

If you're going to call people 'less educated' then at least spell the attributive adjective that follows it correctly. It's 'their' eyes.

As for the content I think everyone is quite clear that we are in massive debt to owners whose intentions have never been clear. I don't personally need an accountant to tell me that. If Venky's walk away and call in their loans we are completely and utterly stuffed. I'm not even sure the club would survive. Therefore worrying about a few short-term loans which we all knew about anyway and calling them new 'revelations' strikes me as a bit absurd.

Sorry to quote your good-self (Futbol thread) 

Quote

You didn't answer the questions I put to you.

Why would you know more than a black footballer what it was like to be a black footballer? How is Leroy Rosenior a racial 'fantasist'? You had a rant about Campbell but never explained why Leroy was a 'fantasist'

Would you mind responding to mine please?

We're leaking signs of distress.

It would be OK to owe so much Venky's (well, not OK really, but OK as in not terminal) if they were continuing to fund the club as a going concern.

Clearly they're not, and we're now getting in emergency finance just to keep going.

Totally toxic. It seems to me as if we're on borrowed time now.

You could very well be right.

My point is re the short-term loans. How common are they within football (outside the Prem and moneyed Championship clubs), and how many clubs use them to finance their business. It certainly appears they are not uncommon.

Wtf is an attributive adjective? Did you mean the determiner 'their' which he spelt as the adverb 'there'?

No, potty mouth.

http://www.dictionary.com/browse/their

pronoun
1.
a form of the possessive case of they used as an attributive adjective, before a noun:
their home; their rights as citizens; their departure for Rome.
