southsider2k5 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Oct 12, 2009 -> 12:38 PM) This is all about "gaming" the system to get the sale through faster. The team's brief stay in Chapter 11 is expected to protect the team's new owners from potential claims from Tribune creditors. It will also be used to dump some debt, which will free up some cash for operating expenses for the new ownership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 so basically these Tribune creditors get screwed out of their money, so the sale can be made easier and be more convenient??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, they are gaming the system. They can afford to pay the creditors, they just dont want to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
