As you say, it is important that the Group can dispose of Stobart Air/Propius in a fashion that relieves them of the potential financial liabilities and without an EIN franchise renewal, or extension at the very least, that will be difficult. Of course CityJet/Air Nostrum were, if I remember correctly, the main competitors to Stobart Air in that regard. Maybe EIN would see a sale to Falko as being in their best interests as well. They naturally want a stable franchise partner and this could be the best way of achieving that.
