I keep getting told that we are in safe hands, run by financial experts, they know what they doing, yet they are six months late with their accounts due to an 'administrative error' ?

The mugs ripped off by con-men are always in denial mon ami, right up until the moment they find their bank accounts are empty. All the smart people investing in Bankman-Fried's b1tcoin scam, billions lost now, but could you tell them he was a dangerous snake oil salesman, no course not, the mugs didn't want to know.

Never mind the alarm bells clanging away, you just concentrate on the football, never mind what's going on in the back office. It was probably the cat that ate the accounts anyway, and nobody noticed for six months, it happens.

An American owned Company with its financial base in Jersey raises no alarm bells with me sinkov other than from a moral point of view they join the set of foreign b@stards who want to reduce their tax bill by as much as possible.

Couldn't care less about where they're based mon ami, what worries me in any sphere, is experts who can't even get the basics right. Either it was incompetence, in which case they're not experts, or they have something they were trying to hide. One or the other, take your pick.

Where did the term "experts" originate from mon ami? EU laws, UK laws, non-domicile laws, it's all a fecking nightmare for the uninitiated.

I've been there, worn that tee-shirt and happily came out the other side, but only with the skin of my teeth.

I have this feeling mon ami, that if we (BFC) come out of this ownership still financially sound and a going concern, it will only be by the skin of our teeth.

If we do.

My alarm bells are not ringing sinkov. I just cannot smell a rat and I have a nose for such matters.

I seriously think you are worrying for nowt, I might be wrong, but that would be really unusual.

My alarm bells started ringing when Garlick threw away the key to the dry powder store, they rang even louder when ALK hove into view with their leveraged buy out, they're still ringing now. They may stop ringing when I see a balance sheet that shows our debt, if not completely paid off, at least down to a manageable size. It certainly wasn't in the last financial statement.

Until then the alarm bell continues to go CLANG FECKING CLANG at the back of my head. Metaphorically speaking of course, in reality I can't hear a thing, except the missus several times a day 'Make us a brew love'. To which I invariably reply, 'Of course my dear, tea or coffee' ?
