For Richard to take over AN before liquidation he would have to honour the current employment contracts etc.
However, should AN be allowed allowed to be closed down, Richard is in the box seat to acquire the useful assets, and offer new employment contracts to probably grateful, recently retrenched persons.
Now AN supporters, please don't read into this an impression that I want to see any of you go through the stress that such a scenario will no doubt cause. My view above is just how I suspect, based on a feeling in my water, things will pan out.
