Andy Holt has therefore stood in as guarantor for the club, hence the £250,000 'bond'.
The club therefore starts at -£250,000, but will go into the positive with the arrival of TV, sponsorship, etc money. Plus money it already holds I would think.
The Andy Holt money is really a contingency fund.

I could be wrong, but that's how I understand it. The statement is pretty poorly written, which doesn't help.

Makes sense T.M.
