Don't recall exactly why those terms were imposed, but I think it was something to do with being allowed to come out of administration 'on the cheap' despite opposition from hostile owners. Whatever it was it made us a very attractive propositon a few years later, and enabled a new buyer to spend the money that would ordinarily have gone on the purchase of the club on the ground instead. So it turned out very much to the club's advantage.
