Owed £13.5m to ceditors.,but is owed £1.4m direct from Notts & £7.3 from Paragon leisure.Red rag
A lot of assumptions here.
Firstly, we have no idea what terms the repayment of the loan is under. It might be very good terms.
Secondly, both Hardy and Trew paid an awful lot more debts to buy Notts. Some other fool might do likewise.
And Hardy is quite clearly a tosser to his employees. Leveraging large debts against his main business.
