I get the impression that while Chester are in difficulties, they’ll be able to scrape the money together to keep going until the end of the season. If we are able (and I don’t know how bad our own financial position is) it would be good if we paid them our valuation for Alabi £10k to help with their cash-flow issues ahead of the Tribunal which will set the final fee.
I do fear for Hartlepool, whose situation looks a lot grimmer. Our final game is scheduled to be against them, so where they to go bust, then unless we’d already won the league, we’d be sitting out the final game while our promotion rivals would know what they had to do to beat us, so as well as being devasting for their own fans, Pools demise could have a significant impact for us.
