I know because it is a matter of public record. The interest rate and the condition of Tan's loans (all of them) are clearly outlined in the club's audited annual accounts.
I remember this too Wez. Outsiders were rubbing their hands over the interest charged on loans from Tan and Tan simply went public to clarify he was writing the interest off and future loans would be interest free. I'm no Tan fan, but in fairness, he was pretty good about this.
The confusion I think is tha the press reported an agreement to pay off the Langston debt. They didn't say it had been paid off but people assumed that. Tan must have a good reason for stopping payments. He must know something we don't. The plot thickens.

Just seems strange that they won't pay anymore untill they know the make up of the company unless it's just a case of Sam has rubbed tan up the wrong way

He is a football man who understands football and football supporters. He gambled on success and his enthusiasm meant he let his heart rule his head. He wanted immediate results, but he ran out of money before he realised his dream.
He's not the villain.
Try telling that to Wimbledon fans? Wonder what happened after he got his grubby hands on them!
Oh yes lost ground lost club?

Well why did you lot welcome him with open arms then, because that happened long bDon't gore he was hailed a hero at Ninian.
You worshipped him when he was spending big to take you from the fourth level to the second, I could see his heart was ruling his head, but you were burying you heads in the sand.
If Sam is guilty you should look at yourselves, because you are equally guilty for ignoring the obvious, and to turn against him when things started going wrong is not something you should be proud of.
He was enthusiastic, foolish, and not perfect, but he's not a villain.

Yes, and we got shot of him pretty bloody quick.
As fans, we want our owners to love the club as much as we do. We are lucky to have owners like that, but we are the exception. Who knows what might happen when Tan leaves, you might actually get the owners the fans deserve.

Agree, but equally Tan can afford to 'play games' and it appears tat Sam has annoyed Tan for some reason
Any ideas??

if that was the case could the monies all ready paid be paid back to the club ?Stan_B wrote:Maybe there is more to this than simply not paying. You have a company registered in Panama with directors based in the British Virgin Islands with a Swiss guy Phillipe Tischhauser handling matters in the UK. Now does that not smell of money laundering or something similar. If the money that was borrowed can be traced back to illegal activities then it may be that the debt would not then be legally enforceable.

Why stop paying after so long with so little left to pay?

Maybe they have found out something about who are behind Langston and it gives a totally different image of the takeover made in 2010, maybe they have been using private investigators as they did for Malky... just a hypothesis.
These are businessmen, they are not just going to stop paying because they are pissed off. They must have some form of negotiation leverage if they are to take this action after 4.5 years.
