Wolman Given Fresh Chance To Clear Debt
Jerry Wolman wins court permission to seek a path out of debt possibly requiring the sale of the Philadelphia Eagles. U S referee in bankruptcy Joseph Kaiser accepted a compromise plan to sell the Eagles if needed, with a deadline to find a buyer by December 31 and a May 1 deadline to complete a sale if $34 million can be raised another way. Morgan Guaranty Trust Co says it is owed over $6 million and blocked a plan to fund a new stock company, forcing the sale option or full repayment.
