If they had withdrawn, then Revenue and Customs could have taken immediate steps to wind up the company, leading to end of the club. The threat was subsequently withdrawn, the administrators no doubt having felt that they had made their point.
Prospective purchaser James Brent held talks with the Football League on Thursday in an effort to speed up the completion of the bid. Plymouth City Council are meeting on Tuesday to decide whether to buy Home Park as part of the deal.
Staff and players have not been paid because the administrators claim that they are owed £600k in fees out of a total of £750k. However, fans argue that they ran up such a large bill because they backed the wrong horse in selecting Kevin Heaney as preferred bidder.
