Welcome back Sarge.

Do you think Frank de Boer will be a good manager........

But then on 5 Jun 2018 there’s this:

First Gazette notice for compulsory strike-off
This document is being processed and will be available in 5 days.

So in effect nobody really knows what’s happening but hopefully and I trust this isn’t another Tim Cahill, Dean Ashton, Tony Pulis, Frank De Boer in another guise that threatens to end the dream.

Probably a formality but the authorities aren’t okay to sit back and wait for when we’re ready going by the First Gazette notice.

Cabaye himself might care is the point. he might be smart enough to have the numbers analysed to see what our transfer policy is likely to be.

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

Yes I have thought that. Would be nice to get one over the line early doors so we could avoid the usual panic and calls for Parish to quit.

Ultimately though we're heading for a 6th season in the PL, so I trust Parish to get it right in the end as he's managed to every season just about. Would be nice if it just felt a bit more competent at times.

There only one person on this thread that needs to do some research. Now you can go and have another long sulk.

To summarise:
Both the links are valid, one is to:
CPFC Limited - company number 07270793 whose immediately parent company is
CPFC 2010 Limited - company number 07206409 - whose immediate parent company is Palace Midco

Both of these have the ultimate parent company
Palace Holdco UK

You can look at either to see the same figures for turnover and almost identical figures for running costs. There are bigger differences on the balance sheet but someone in finance would need to explain how this all works. I imagine as stated earlier the number of company’s involved is historic based on the 2010 buy out and the change in ownership with Harris and Blitzer.

Neither Company have had new accounts filed and both have the Active Proposal to Strike Off

We should not worry that this will happen, having retained our high value income stream in the PL for another year and with a far higher income due to our 11th place than could have been expected a few months ago. The parachute payments, should the worst happen next year, give extra certainty to the Company as a going concern for several more years on top of that. So I expect that is all good since we ended 2016 with zero debt.

That does not mean that not posting the accounts is not important. Apart from Companies House and the Tax Man the rest of the football world and finance agencies will start to pay attention to this matter.

It could be complete incompetence but I think that is very unlikely. So it points to financial shenanigans behind the scenes with big discussions taking place between the owners and the finance people.

My first thought was simply that the owners wanted to see what division we were in and then more precisely what position we finished so they could establish our approximate financial position in 2018. With likely profits this year then a more favourable tax position could be possible with how much profit (or loss), is declared in the 2017 results.

Then as discussed in the thread it does seem reasonable that there is going to be a sorting out of the structure of the four companies that are mentioned above and restructuring these was taking up the time.

There is also the funding for the new stand to consider. Have the Americans actually put in their cash already? Perhaps for the January 2017 left back buying bonanza? Or was the deal that they would put in the cash when the planning for the new stand was approved? Since that consent also coincided with the end of the financial year it could well be part of what is being discussed.

Of course we have no idea and no way of finding out but since the new season is far away and the transfer rumours are totally hopeless because everyone is on holiday what else are we supposed to speculate about?
