Potential new owners

Agreed. The debt that Munto left us with has been problematic for both owners since.

In other news, looks like 'Scoop' has been hanging round the mad board again.

What is Scoop’s day job, because he can’t spend more than a few hours a week writing his stories for the Post.

This is why Munto happened and the Post was reliant upon Matt Scott at The Guardian for all of the behind-the-scenes news. Far more chance of someone like John Percy breaking the news of what’s really going on.

I think it was Rob Dorsett at Sky who brought us the Paragon in trouble news.

Though he did wrongly (for the moment) deduct that it would mean us going into administration.

No player "walked away" from their contract at all. Only Sven really did that.

If I remember rightly, Kasper agreed to terminate his contract when Ray Trew took over, as it was a particularly lucrative one, (for Kasper, that is).

My memory is that Kasper agreed to terminate his contract on condition that we agreed not to ask for a transfer fee. That meant that any clubs interested could offer him a more lucrative contract because they got him for free. At the time it seemed the best way out of an awkward situation for all parties, with Leicester being the biggest winners. I repeat, this is only from memory and I am getting on a bit.

No. His agent eventually agreed to terminate and there was no onward transfer fee, but he was paid off. Just not the full contract amount. It was still cripplingly significant. No player walked away at all.

He moved to Leeds before Leicester.

This is what Wiki says:

On 27 April, Schmeichel and Notts County secured the 2009–10 League Two trophy and promotion for the Football League One with a 5–0 win against already relegated Darlington. Shortly before the game, it was announced that Notts County agreed to release Schmeichel at the end of the season despite having four years left on his contract. The reasoning behind this was financial: Schmeichel earned a reported £15,000 per week, having been signed during the brief ownership period of high-spending Munto Finance in the summer 2009. Schmeichel agreed to forgo all his future wages, something which chairman Ray Trew described as "a huge concession by such a young man".
