a)From the trust's review of the 31st May 2017 accounts...
'It should be noted that no interest was paid on the debt due to the club`s owner in the year, all interest accruing (at a stated rate of 7% p.a. on part of the debt) being waived by him and therefore becoming non-payable. This resulted in a saving to the club of approximately £2m in interest charges for the year ended May 31, 2017.'
We have been charged interest on all debt above, I believe, £50m which has then been waived. My guess would be there's a tax write off somewhere in there but I'm not an expert.
b)I never questioned it, I guess now that the amount outstanding is around the £50m mark, no interest will be chargeable going forward. Yay.
c) I guess I've seen JFK too many times.
