Having been in this position 3 times in the last 3 years, I know full well Simon Calder has a horrible habit of trying to act like he’s in the know, announcing bankruptcy hours before its formally announced. As mentioned above, a real misery-merchant who makes his pennies off of things like this. Usually, he’s right, but it’s more him taking a punt and hoping for the best than anything substantial. I recall him doing it for ZB back in 2016 and even offering advice on how to claim money back, just for him to be made to look like a complete knob in the early hours of the morning.
