Not sure this is the case, though I agree late payment of wages is disgraceful.
To any prospective buyer who had done even a little research, it would be obvious from the start that Corney is a distressed seller. He says as much in the last video anyway, and if he has been friends with AL for some time then again the state of the club's finances would come as no surprise. In any case if AL has properly carried out due diligence he will be all too aware of what he is buying/investing in.
There is no point in speculating. SC has always said he would only sell to the "right" buyer, and we have no choice but to take that on trust and see what happens.
