batesil polnud muud varianti, kui kõik ülejäänud üle pakkuda. muidu oleks ju kogu skeem p.....e käinud ning läbi offshore'ide klubisse pumbatud rahast oleks osa ilmselt igaveseks kaduma läinud. aga kohalik maksuamet viib asja tõenäoliselt kohtusse nagunii, kui ostuga ei kaasnenud ikkagi suurema osa võla tasumise kohustust.
kohalik maksuamet viis asja eelmisel korral kohtusse põhjusel, et Onu Ken'i pakkumine ei olnud parim ja suruti läbi selliste kreeditoride toel, kelle seos ostjaga oli ilmne (kuigi tõestamatu). nüüd korraldas siis KPMG uue pakkumistevooru ja valis sealt siis mingite kriteeriumite põhjal parima välja. see ei pruugi küll olla maksuameti jaoks parim valik, aga pankrotihaldur ei peagi ju lähtuma ühe kreeditori huvide parimast võimalikust kaitsmisest vaid tagama ka näiteks klubi tegevuse jätkumise jne. seega ei tohiks maksuametil nagu midagi eriti vaielda olla. samuti on asi ilmselt ka suht JOKK. seega ma oletaks tänasel hetkel, et äkki nad ikka ei vaidlusta, või vähemalt teevad nad seda moel, et see ei ohusta klubi edasist eksistentsi liigajalgpalli klubina.
lisaks saan ma aru, et enne kuulus vaidlustamisele niiöelda "klubi ostmine Batesi poolt" (mingi selle protsessi osa siis). nüüd kuuluks siis vaidlustamisele KPMG poolt tehtud valik. seega peaks maksuamet vaidlema suure konsultatsioonifirmaga, ja selle vaidluse tulemus on prognoositav.

olgu veel lisatud, et mina lihtsalt spekuleerin.
Su spekulatsiooni tõeväärtus on sel korral ilmselt võrdlemisi suur. Vaidlustada saabki ainult KPMG otsust (noh, nii maksuamet kui teised pakkujad võivad seda teha) aga see saab siiski keeruline olema, kuna KPMG ei kavatsegi lähiajal (?) avaldada Batesi pakkumise sisu. Aga kuna Batesil polnud taganeda kusagile, on see üsnagi ootuspärane, et tema pakkumine oli parim.
